  3. If like me you have a ton of little dents on your roof this DIY should be helpful. Basically this works pretty well on small dents without a crease. The process is pretty simple. Here's what you need: 1. Heat gun or hair dryer (heat gun is prefered here. It will cost you about 3000 for a cheap chinese one without temperature adjustments. The prices go all the way up to 15k for bosch ones). 2. Ice (if you have access to dry ice that would be real good). Basically the theory is that the heating and rapid cooling will pop the dent right off. I'm not going to get into scientific stuff here but it's basic physics. Anyway this will work only on dents without a crease in them. Here's what you do. Take your heat gun in one hand and ice in the other. Heat the surface of the dent. If you are using a heat gun about 10 seconds is enough and keep it three inches off the car. Take care not to burn the paint. A hair dryer would take longer to heat it up. As soon as you move the heat gun away place the ice on the dent until it cools, at this point it should pop up. If it doesn't after a couple of tries, chances are that the particular dent cannot be fixed through the process. I don't think you will need pictures for this but if you do let me know. Have fun and remember if you are working with a heat gun, take care since they get real hot and can burn you if you touch the nozzle (done it plenty of times).

  5. Heard in news yesterday that in some parts of the island, people at auto shops request for proof of identity from customers who come to buy grease. So this is somewhat automotive related after all...

  12. Actually no. Keeping the revs low is only a general rule of thumb. If you try to keep it under 2k when accelerating you're gonna spend more time in lower gears, which burns more fuel than the higher gears anyway. I read somewhere that accelerating quickly to reach high gears sooner burns less fuel or something to that effect. Besides it's more fun anyway.

  13. I guess there are two types of people in AL Type 1: Us average people who don't seem to understand any importance of this poll or what the hell is the point of this poll Type 2: People with a much higher mental state than us who think that the determining factor of the price of a product is neither economics nor the fiscal policy of the country, but the divine intervention that is stimulated by the results of a poll such as this. They probably also seek divine intervention to increase/decrease prices of Toyotas through by other means such as assistance from people like Ruwanwelle Sobitha. As long as our intelligence level doesn't match up to the level of people like Jami, I guess we will always go 'what the f**k???' to all those highly intelligent posts.

  20. Yes I agree with you. If that is the law it should be common for everyone. This law is not implemented on government and police vehicles. Also I saw a policeman driving a red color jeep (near Bambalapitiya police station) while talking on the phone. I guess the whole idea is not our security. Either security of few people or government needs money from fines.

  21. Damn its nothing to wonder why the country is not going forward, with ppls like these... TINT is not only for look... There are many reasons to tint your car from protecting against health concerns, safety and privacy reasons, as well as preserving your investment in your car. Listed below are some of the top reasons that people tint their cars. Avoid Overheating Your car's interior can be 60% cooler during those hot summer days with proper tinting, same time this saves more fuel. Protect Your Skin Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause skin cancer. Tinting your car can block 99% of these damaging rays. Accident Protection In an auto accident, tinting can help shattered glass hold together, protecting the occupants of the car. Safer Driving Tinting reduces dangerous glare from the sun, snow, and other headlights, helping you drive safely. Enhanced Privacy Tinting protects your privacy and contents within a car. What a burglar can't see, he won't steal. Prevent Cracking and Fading Harmful UV rays and heat cause car upholstery to crack and fade. Car tint is sunscreen for your car. as smeone mentioned earlier, is it TINT the only issue we r having in our transportation system ???

  22. Hah hah the funny thing is, on the same article some big cop says - "“Now the war is over so there is no necessity to have tinted glass windows in vehicles. Earlier people were targeted by terrorists and criminals but now there is no reason to have such tinted glass windows."

  23. How many other things we need to correct in our road than removing tints. Most of the busses and heavy vehicles does't have break lights. No bus stops, they can stop where ever they want and we have to pass them by crossing , double lines, single lines, etc. oh... god so many things coming to mind regarding road decipline alone.. this is really #$#%#$ #&*%$%$% %^&*^

  24. Last I heard the rule was 20% for the rears only. You should be fine as long as it's factory and not an after-market deal.

  25. I think you shud remove ya glasses and paste some polythene on it just kidding... but it might feel gud rather than dealing with F***** cops... they just bring in rules without thinking much... and rules only runs for short while... these donkeys dosent know why the tint is there, n the uses of it... they just want to bring in stupid ruels and earn some money (leagal & illegal)... they might bring in rules for remove doors too, since it covers the view of lower parts of the passenger
