    Cone Air Filter - Enhance Fuel Economy

    in General

    Posted

    If you just want a wash and reusable air filter(plus a slight increase of power),K&N makes filters that fit most air boxes.Just go to their website enter the make,model etc of your car and get the serial number of the filter.Then check with Motorcade if they have it or just order directly from the website.

    Huh? What gives? 1 cylinder 1 strokes? As in bikes? Or did you go electric as in a Leaf or a Model S?

    Oh no....Its much MUCH worse...Three wheelers! :lol:

    But not to worry we're doing our best to rectify the issue ASAP.

    btw any U2 fans in the forum?

    Yup one here.Or atleast I like their pre 2000 work with The Joshua Tree being my most favorite album of all time...I think VVti is a massive fan too.

    Good Locations Surrounding Nature In Sl For A Car Photoshoot

    in The Lounge

    Posted · Edited by MasterDon

    Why not try Bolgoda Lake in the morning?If you know an owner of a lake front Villa even better.

    Anyway just make sure the photog is a 'çar guy'.Otherwise the long trip will be a waste if the the camera guy doesn't know the best angles of a car.The best car photogs I know are Peri,Rajith(T&T),Charitha(octanehead),Dilesh,Esdeez,Silver but they don't work for free.

    BTW you need not go to exotic locales for a car photoshoot.A great photographer can take awesome shots on any location.For example all the pics below were taken on busy Colombo streets without any special preparations and while on the move.

    I watched a crappy CAM copy of Mission Impossible Rogue Nation cos I quite like Tom Cruise(Despite his involvement with that cooky cult,Scientology).And it was awesome.This is how a true action movie should be made. Vin Diesel and the F&F gang,please take note.Can't wait to watch it again when a decent copy comes out.

    Speaking of Scientology,Watch 'Going Clear'.A great documentary about the "religion" and it's shady inner workings.

    What Has Happened To Bmw 320D S?

    But putting Japanese diesel engine will not change value of car, it will be making it more attractive to more more car buyers who not worry about later engine problem. Europeean cars putting out too much smoke when racing becasue of bad engine. with japanese engine you dont get that problem. many BMWS also making lots of smoke

    when japanese diesel engine inside, servicing also no problem. Only troubles with suspension bush and other parts, but good lathe shop can also fix many bush (Bush gahanawa)

    It sounds angry :)

    That it does.All these old Ford V6 motors have that distinct grunt.Something to do with the bank angle or firing order.

    A straight through or a custom barrel would go along nicely.Tockimo is the place to go.No BS and they won't rob you either.

    "fuel Shark" Fuel Saver

    in General Automotive

    Posted

    Fuel Shark doesn't work at all!..

    However Fuel Gerandiya works perfectly.Simply plug one end of the device to your Prius's battery and the other end to the owner's arse then fart on it.The force caused by the farts revolves a turbine and charges the battery.For better results the manufacturers recommend a diet consisting of ripe Wattakka and Pork.

    Ah, c'mon man. Nismo even put three cars in Le Mans this year, in LMP1. They are running Super GT, the GT3 European circuit and the GTR won Bathhurst after a long time this year. The visibility is a lot better than it was in the early 2000s.

    Have to agree with this.Nissan were going nowhere before Renault and Ghosn.

    Any Place For Alternator Repairs - Not Pala Please

    in Electrical problems

    He showed me the burnt diodes and the battery was not charging from the current alternator and as you said he suggested that either we can replace the regulatar...or either install a reconditioned alternator itself... a regular was hard to find around the delkanda shops and from company it costs around 16k... therefore i bought a second hand alternator from panchi which i tested before buying and then replaced and checked and yes then the battery was charging... (he said usually when the regulator gets corrupted like these the alternator gets corrupted too so it won't be a wise idea to just replace the regulator... the decent price was 1500/-

    A whole alternator unit for 1500?...dang...that is a decent price indeed.

    1. How do you know the alternator was 'corrupted'?... and what exactly is a corrupted alternator?

    2. What is a 'decent price'?

    The reason why I ask these questions is some people get ripped off to their bone and still don't know about it. If Dhammike Fernando said the regulator/rectifier was faulty, I see no reason to replace the whole alternator. If the whole alternator is faulty, you will face a whole heap of problems and your car will not be starting at all.

    Yes very rarely do you see a alternator replaced.Usually it's the brushes or in extreme cases the armature is replaced or rewound.The only reason to replace the the whole thing is if the housing is cracked or warped,

    Hundai Santafe 2006

    I don't have any experience with the petrol engined Hyundais but I do have a 2008 diesel Santa Fe.Infact I bought two at the same time and got rid of the 4WD one and kept the lower mileage GLS.Generally speaking they are solid cars as Don said.Great for long trips.Refinement is yet to reach european levels but they are on par with Japanese and American cars.So far the the experience with Hyundai Lanka is positive and parts are also available with Ajantha Motors.

    Finally watched FF7.And it was bloody awful.The plot doesn't make sense and has a lot of holes.It's not a car movie anymore nor is it a proper heist flick.They want us too feel attached to the characters by introducing their kids or having babies or other sentimental bullshit.I'm willing to forget the laws of physics for a bit of fun but the stunts are literally unbelievable and makes all that aforementioned sentimental bullshit lose their weight cos every major character somehow seems to survive unscathed.Granted, the the final scene was emotional but that was because of events that happened in real life and nostalgia from FF1,and not cos of the movie...But by far the worst atrocity is that talking potato known as Vin Diesel who desperately needs acting classes.
