Stock Yokohamas which comes with the Lancer make a heck of a din - sounds like a tornado coming your way if you happen to open a window ?

Yes. Potenza is their top of the line performance tyres. when I was tire hunting for my lancer Autodrome (The agent for Bridgestone in SL) confirmed that they do not bring down the Japanese versions due to higher cost involved. So typically you will find only Thai versions in SL. However the Potenza's they have are of Japanese versions. I did not go with them due to unbearable cost involved hence settled with Nankang NS20 sport tyres.

Yes..younger generation does stray away from cars, but I seriously doubt this is a case of that. If you really think about it...it really would not be practical for the kids to hold on to their dad's Sri Lankan assets if they are permanently based abroad. Also..their link to SL would have been their dad who no longer is there...then there is the case where Sri Lankan law is very very grey when it comes to inheritance and ownership of assets when it comes to foreign spouses and mixed kids with other nationalities.

Best tyres I've ever used. Talking specifically of the RE003. They've been on my car for a couple of years now and they hold the road like crazy! Not sure if they're a bit overkill for a point A to B car that's mainly driven within city limits, because it's a performance tyre. But if you track the car or drive a car that's got decent power, then absolutely.

Members, I reply above post which was posted last on 22nd November. Dhaham's post is correct. I stored a 2 cars to a relative of mine for 20 years. He lived in a first class country did not want get rid of his first Morris Minor 2 Sri and number of cars which he bought when ever he visits to Sl. Every year when ever he visits to SL imported from his migrated country, I used to remove the battery's. 2 battery's from the 2 cars which was parked in a close air tight ( Close to Colombo Railway line) large garage, I had 2 charges ( Assembled by Me without any Electronic controlled) of 13.5 Volts DC connect to them. He comes to SL once in two years use his 2 cars with the same Battery,s, Only two Battery's were changed for the cars. He passed away 2 years ago at the age of 83. 2 Children sold 2 cars as well as the land. Sylvester wijesinghe. Sylvi.

Members, If a member has any questions about old British, German, Italian, American Vehicles electrical problems, please do write your question to the AL forum. I will try to help. Because I have handled very early models from 1940 till 1962. Import restrictions came in 1962 to 1977. Sri Lankan mechanics and electricians used to rebuild, all defective units.

Why not a 2014 Mazda 06 - Most are maintained at Agents and owned by ppl who love their cars. Now going around 5.5-6Mn. Absolute pleasure to drive unlike the options mentioned above.
