  5. With android head unit market has made huge strides since I last posted the above question, was able to find a head unit which does the following. 1. No cutting of wires 2. The Rockford Amplifier should work 3. The Steering wheel audio controls must work 4. Bluetooth hands free usage 5. Android auto/Apple car play The head unit itself was selected after much research on android head units in the market and how they connect to car. It also comes with a CANBUS adapter which connects directly to the two connectors of the stock CD changer. Since the car didn't have the handsfree switches on the steering, I also got it down, but please note that it also requires the replacement of the hands free harness inside the steering wheel. This means you have to remove the steering airbag and as always, the Mitsubishi workshop manual is your friend but in general I don't recommend playing around with the airbags. All in all everything works fine now. Here are some nice features 1. Wireless Car Play 2. Android 10 OS 3. Built in DSP/Pre Amp 4. Reverse Camera direct wiring. The parts involved are as below. The head unit - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001227274176.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7e234c4dYu6JyO Handfree Switch set - P# 8750A247 Handsfree Harness - P# 4400A465 Hope this helps anyone who also wants to try the same.

  6. If you're going for a 10.1" with a built in facia make sure that its compatible with RHD lancers, ask the seller and make sure the curved bit is in the right direction

  8. Historically Nissan has always been an American inspired car company. Even in its early days, the first designer (then DAT) they got was an American guy (Graham or Goham or something like that). It is stated that Yoshisuke Aikawa went to Detroit to learn about car manufacturing and the DAT was heavily influenced by that. Even the much loved 240Z was a result of Nissan wanting to make a sports car to meet the American motoring needs. So...yeah...

Missing his diy thread. @Ripper hows that grill doing bro? @jdnet hasn’t logged in ages. @Andrew_GTR is active on insta. Playing with a 90s STI. Good man. Helped me dodge a shady WRX in one message. Yes @MasterDon sir and @Sylvi sir is active again. @ShintaroX was active in july. @terrabytetango he was last seen in 2018. His handle says banned?! Any idea what thats about? @Magnum got a crown and kdh recently. Posts once in a while. Honorable mention @miniace sir was active recently, but he seems to have taken off due to lack of enthusiasm here. Also @GTAm Is Heavily active on the Italian club in fb. @VVTi that pork curry was on point! And how can we forget our @Watchman? Aint no man that hadn’t had a go with him here. Jk Jk. Saw him active in the fb pages bit recently. Many many more I missed... Wish we would go from Q&A forum to a Real Petrol Head forum like the good ol’ days. I am personally doing my best to get stuff moving and I know few others who try.

  13. To OP The fuel figure timeline car sellers, if you drive it right it does like 30kmpl or even more, blah blah first fellows who buy it like ”machan it does 40kmpl believe me” I went from Galle to puttlam to anuradhapura to airport with my dogs in 1 tank the second lot mid year, who sold their vitzs due to peer pressure it does 30kmpl, just like my Vitz but it’s so better, I put 95 now, pickup is so good it’s soo smooth ( they lied about the vitz fuel figure as well) the last lot by the end of the year, who buy it for a price hike, (current price + hike)= pora buyer it does 4kmpl, (Deep within, I put a loan and a lease to buy it because my co worker and Neighbour and brothers wife’s sisters uncles second wife got one, I don’t have money for petrol so I just take it for a 10km stroll on Sunday in the traffic) and he spent this months salary on the chrome, carpets and 3m tint and 10inch Chinese player. jokes aside mate to get an accurate value for this you ll have to wait for at least 1 year. Given the engine and the turbo expect 13kmpl or less on long distances but Just a guess. Do not get so worked up on the fuel figures bro, these are budget suvs, some chum on a bike gets intimate with the tailgate or the lights or a mirror, you ll be looking at 1 years fuel costs, if you aren’t prepared for that expense buy something else. car salesmen, personal importers, fb forums they push you and bluff so beware.
