  1. I had a somewhat similar issue in my manual Lancer. Idle rpm drops below 500 when ac is on and the car starts to shake with the engine since it cannot power up the a/c. After a tune up the problem vanished.
  2. and sorry for ruining your much hopeful sunday fun. If you have any leftover popcorns please send me in. Lol
  3. Yes you maybe right. But in this case the vehicle identification sticker on the car also says its japan. That is actually the manufacturing country as far as i know. But the country of origin cannot be there in the book just because the technology of that country is used.
  4. Hehe. Me too wondering whether we are in the same universe. But infact the technology must be so advanced that we can reply to the same thread residing in different universes.lol
  5. Yes i checked. Also i asked from the owner and he says its japan. Apparently this owner is actually my father. I know the car from the day we imported it. That is why i repeatedly said what i knew. Infact the book says country of origin as japan. I can mention a pic as a proof but i will not waste my time on this anymore. I do not know whether there are thailand made brand new imports. That is why i inquired it from you, but i highly doubt that.
  6. Great. You better check all those yarises again because im confused we are talking about the same toyota yaris sedan are on the sri lankan road.
  7. I asked you a question machan. Do you know any brand new import yaris around 2008 that are thailand made?
  8. What i said about 2008 brand new import yaris is still valid because i know a such car. Do you have any other proof on that the cars in sri lankan roads are made in thailand?
  9. Hehe. I should be wrong on Belta, since it is the JDM version it should be made in Japan. So that part may not correct, that is why I said 'CAN BE'.
  10. Yes I agree on your point about agent imports. Not every car should be like that. But I know for fact Yaris brought down for permit around 2007/2008 were Japanese made.
  11. What I told is what i know abut the Yaris those were brought down for permits around 2007/2008. Not intended to spread lies.
  12. You are wrong on first point at least. Yaris is not built in Thailand. It is a Japanese made. Cars imported for permits are made in Japan for sure as they are brought down brand new from agents. Beltas are the ones that can be made in different countries since they are not brought through the agents.
  13. Congratulations Davy!!! Im glad that you found your dream car. Safe ride!
  14. Where exactly did you park your car? Is it near the byroad which starts from the big bend of Jayawardenapura hospital road? or the car park in the restaurant area? I am asking because me too going to the same track and need to be more vigilant hereafter.
  15. Hi, I will just list the experience I have gone through when selecting my first DSLR some 2-3 years ago. I was also in the dilemma of getting Nikon or Canon. Basically I was choosing between the Nikon D5000 and Canon 550D/600D choices. Finally I chose Canon 600D considering all the facts. From my research I found pros and cons for both. 1. Nikon had a better Sensor technology which deliver great for general photography. Canon was dragging behind their sensor technology and still it is ,the same. Even now my opinion is Nikon has a better sensor.(of course Sony manufactures sensors for most of their models) 2. Nikon had better ISO capability (low noise at high ISO) comparing the two models. 3. If I go for Nikon I had to use lenses with motor to get auto focus (for the D5000 model. from D7000 model it does not matter). Canon did not have this problem since all of their latest lenses comes with a motor and no motor inside the DSLR body. Only problem if you are using very old lens. 4. Nikon entry level series lacked the options to directly change the settings like a higher end version. Most of the time you have to go to a menu and adjust stuff. Of course you have the option of assigning a function to one key but it did not work for me. For Canon, I could practice the professional level usage (changing Shutter speed, aperture , iso instantly) directly from the dials provided and I thought it will be useful even when I am going to upgrade to an upper level. ( I am not sure if the newer models solve this problem.) 5. Since I was more interested in wildlife and landscape, Canon had a good range of telephoto lenses available. But later I discovered that even Nikon has a very good range with a bit of a price difference. So this should not be a major decision maker. So what my advice is first decide what you are going to use the camera for, If it is just for your usual trip photos and do not bother in developing/editing/post processing them then go for a Nikon entry level camera. Those are very user friendly which does not desert you in the world of DSLR. You can do things going through menus just like point and shoot. And they do deliver a very good image straight out of the camera. But if you would like to do some playing with your camera choose a Canon. But if you go to the D7000 range or D70 range and above this will not be a decision maker since both are in similar caliber. One other thing I learned when I started using a Flash lately is that Nikon CLS(Creative Lighting System) is working better than Canon's counterpart and pleasing to (at least) my eyes. But as some others suggested there are other brands like Sony, Pentax, Olympus who makes great DSLRs. For your note, please go and search about the new Fuji DSLR range they released. Some models like X-T1, X-Pro1 gets enormous eye catching recently and they said to be performing far better than their counterparts. Just check on them as well if you are interested. I hope this will help at least a bit in deciding which way to go.
