      Alloys are something the car always wanted, and I think you've given her the best! :)

      Just checked the post -great set of wheels on a great car. I have a huge soft spot for lancers - still sad I couldn't find a good specimen when i was looking for one ...

      Thanks matroska.. :) Davy yes machang, and this wouldn't be possible if it wasnt for you. Frankly finding these exact wheels were like winning a lottery.

  2. Auto lanka admins should add a new section - Autolanka Saasthara & Anjanam - To predict the future market price of cars and to locate crooks in the SL car market

      I've done like 15+ kmpl, in my 1.6 liter Lancer, in express way. Didn't rev more than 2000, kept the speed around 80kmh. Did neutrals at couple of places too :)

      But yet, I'm way behind you :)

    3. trinity

      trinity

      Hashan, dont ever do neutrals when the car is driven on public roads. And usually our cars does 14 outstation & 10 city and its the average best figure we could get out of them. Above are exeptional cases where you take a long drive in expressway and then continue rest in less traffic roads which is also like an expressway. :)

    4. HashanJay

      HashanJay

      I agree mate, I rarely do neutrals, and mine does 12-13 outstations, so 15 was a really great figure for me.

  4. There was a thread giving instructions on how to post images in AL forum. If possible can someone direct me to it please.Tried several times but cant seem to find it

      @trinity I've seen two TMEs in the country; one red with stripes and one silver. I think the red example was the last model to come up for sale sometime back. It had about 25,000 or so kms on the ODO (nice, low mileage anyway). I also saw the silver example in front of a shop in Hill Street till recently. FR means typical front engine, RWD cars

    4. trinity

      trinity

      Jaliya thanks.. And I only remember the silver color TME Evo. Asking price was about 5.5 mil if I remember correctly. Man I don't know why I like them evos this much..

  11. "The buyer will have to pay a transfer tax of approximately Rs. 250,000 to RMV in addition to the above price" says in an add for 2011 corolla. What may be the reason for this?

    1. Crosswind

      Crosswind

      You need to pay 10% of CIF value converted to LKR when transferring a permit-imported car. This must be one of those. Congrats to the buyer :)

      Aha.. thanks machan,,

  12. Whats the point in buying a Diesel if you have to pump it Super Diesel? Running const would almost be same as running a petrol rite.

      exactly, you would be better off with a petrol vehicle

    4. Ruslan

      Ruslan

      Yes indeed, and with the quality of the diesel in our country, i highly doubt that you could run without premature common-rail pump / injector failures.

  13. Is there really a way to identify if the ODO has been tampered with

      Ya you check the condition of the car anyway know. for example, a car that has run just over 100k is being sold making the ODO 70k. How you expect to find the difference of 30k kms just checking the condition of the car.

      On a different note got that spoiler in. It came with a light and fixing screws and fits the CS series. Looked in decent shape. New old stock.

      Wow that's great.. keep it man. im sure it will come in handy someday.

  14. OK i take back my previous comment. Did a full service at Unit#d Mot#rs and it was just crap. Really disappointed.

      Noticed.. Raised hell.. got them redone.. the point is that I never expected a service from agents of the brand would be such a disastrous experience.

    3. The Don

      The Don

      This is why I don't ever go to UM. What apalling service. But my experience at the Suzuki agent was very different.

    4. trinity

      trinity

      True that.. unfortunately i had to learn this the hard way.. I've got my carburetor sorted out from a mechanic of theirs and thats some sound workmanship there. Bugger did an awesome job. two different stories at the same place...

  15. Visit to Unit#d Mot#rs on their service campaign really paid off with over 4k discount on parts and 1k discount on labour and a full service with no labour charges.

  16. Left the car at Unit#d Mot#rs to repalce the plug wires. Fingers crossed! cant wait till i get her back in the evening!!

  21. Saw an Overfinch Discovery at Laugfs last saturday. Thought it was a chinese copy of the dicsco 04 at first.

  22. I HATE qwerty text input in iphones.. f**king hate it. life was very simple withT9.

    2. trinity

      trinity

      NO I didn't. Manufacturers are fail in that sense. I don't see why phone manufacturers had to switch to qwerty when T9 was doin its job pretty well. Typing in handheld devices mostly done by the thumb and its really irritating with the qwerty. with T9 you don't have to look at the screen even.

    3. Reckless

      Reckless

      Yeah I hate it too, T9 is soo much better.

    4. Crosswind

      Crosswind

      people are used to qwerty that's the problem. T9 is much faster... true.

      A fortis is a really good compromise. Not many of them around right?

    4. Davy

      Davy

      Yup, only a few around. Just like the Lancer EX GT.

  24. Kotahena - was keeping a close eye on the car as small rain is sufficient to flood all over here.. saw water building up and rushed to the elevator to move the car.. By the time I reach down the street has become a river! f**k!!

      Yes .. Water was about 4 inches high.. Got it out of the street and parked it on the main road. Now the street is clear and I'm left with wet shoes and socks.. Double f**k! Kept the shoes behind a CPU rack to dry and using another computer to dry the socks....

      reminds me, i went to see a hyundai matrix in nugegoda like 2 years back. in the advert it said "no repiars have been done" just out of curiosity i went and check(from kandy) that thing was falling apart, gauges wasnt working properly, a knocking sound is comming from the rear suspension, something was rattling in the interior and the engine bay.. No wonder he hasnt done any repairs

    4. MkX

      MkX

      @schiffer, at least he has been honest with his repair history LOL
