I hope they don't do that

they will. cos the new "must have" car will be the 1 litre Civic which is sold (and made) in the UK.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. Everybody is eyeing the new 1L Civic. Soon they are going to notice this loop hole

This should have been on that N16 thread lol

You connect both high and low beam wire?

yes but it will put strain on the wiring so they might melt.

Also the bulb will produce excess heat and damage the housing.

I guess these are the kind of vehicles which end up in flames on the highway

Separately  bought in, refined together, again separetely sold, experts pitch in please

I see..so the fuel quality could be different?

Import separately. But quality controlling and approvals are done through CPC .

IOC is currently holding the permit for importing,distributing and selling only. 

It also add 100+ Hp 200nm of torque

Increased the lifetime of the rubbers by at least 23%

Good thing you guys are also getting only genuine air for the tyres!

Do get it only from the agents

@tiv 

You can see the bumps on this pic

Hehe I thought they made up for headroom!

I can't remember where I read it but it's for breaking through wind easily for better fuel economy

Will give it a try next time I'm in Sri Lanka 

The low beam is auto adjusted and the high beam is fixed I guess.

The deal is in a unlit pitch black road and Sri Lankan setting,

Auto adjusting kind of makes a mess of things, especially pot holes messing the system alignment you end up losing usable low beam for a few km each time,

To add to this if it has Auto dimming or built-in setup to lower the beam based on the oncoming lights,

Then a local Mad max style mudalali express comes with all 24 lights on without a care in the world floats past you while singing his horn and all those sophisticated electronic bits leave you in low bim dipped to the max and you the human component partially blinded by there hideous glare! 

I thought auto adjustment only adjusts the beams when the vehicle is loaded up at the back and the front becomes lifted up

Yeah don't think auto high beam is practical in Sri Lanka

There are some idiots who have 1 light as high beam all the time as well.

No, but Mercedes W124 took side mirrors very seriously, with the larger passenger side one, and even base W124s having a power passenger mirror while the driver's one was manual.

Newer higher end euros have electrochromatic  auto dimming mirrors even on the side mirrors. I think they are offered as options on base models but most people dont get them. And manufacturers dont sell the blue tint anti glare mirrors anymore cause they want customers to pay more.

@The Stig that makes sense

I guess it was standard back then which is why you could find most cars with them.

I read somewhere once Lexus entered the markert it became quite difficult for BMW and Mercedes to put forward a price that matches with Lexus especially in the US. I assume to keep the price down they started turning standard features into extras and selling a base car with simple features at a lower price 

anither idiot has just created a thread to brag about his Acqua fuel efficiency while going downhill ?

User accounts do have to be approved before they can be used to post content. If not for that, we would have seen much much worse spammer activity on the forum IMO. As soon as I saw those posts, I reported each one of them (and I think everyone else should use the "report" feature whenever they notice spamming, name calling (see above reply), advertising etc.).

Mods and Admins can't really keep an eye on the forum 24/7 IMO (they too have lives). So as a community, it's our responsibility to help them keep it running smooth.  

@vag2, If you look at the date on that thread, it was created a year ago. Also, I don't think you can call it idiotic. It's just ignorance.

@terrabytetango Makes sense, not sure how Maxxis are but according to consumer reports Toyo doesnt seem to be doing that well. 
Btw didnt your Axio come with Michelin?

Nope, I think most JDM compact cars come with Toyo or Yokohama. Michelin is reserved for high performance tires offered by the euro brands.

@terrabytetango Most JDM compact cars come with Toyo, Bridgestone and Dunlop. Probably Yokohama too. But I think the Axio WXB comes with Michelin(not sure if its an eco tyre).

Note that asrock was tried to be run over....probably failed because his friend couldn't direct the thing in the proper direction because handling is so so so bad specially when it has to be quick.

Someone is gonna get run over by a white Hace soon  

So now we know the true story behind these so called "white vans" everyone was afraid of

It's a highly complex formula that uses a discrete mathematical algorithm called fourier transforms, calculated by one Mr. Samaraweera at the parliament of Sri Lanka.

I see, thanks!

Don't think the 5L model is allowed to be sold in Japan due to emission restrictions. Plus 200 series being heavier than the 100 series I can imagine how underpowered it would be

@terrabytetango whats a ROW model?

ROW = Rest Of the World

no..has nothing to do with models you want to sing "Row row wor your baot"

It's still from Mitsubishi. Recently they bought a fleet of L200 sporteros for Municipal councils and other government offices. Police highway patrol divisions use Lancer EXs. CEB uses Mitsubishi fuso trucks

Maybe an agreement between UNIMO and the government (They might have *cough* greased some wheels *cough*)

Basically who ever wins the tender will supply the vehicles. I suppose Mitsubishi were able to meet the basic specifications and be price competitive.

Interesting! Thanks guys!

Further to our chat the other day...it would be interesting to find out what oil is actually branded as Toyota genuine engine oil in the region.

I'm curious as well, I will try to find out

I am also stuck with the same dilemma, To add to that Synthetic or Mineral?

Check PM

Don't use normal compound on the glass if you don't know how to do it properly. You will scratch it. There are water stain removers that you can buy (or get someone to mail it from Japan). Maguiars water spot removed used to be available in SL. It is a lot more user friendly and less prone to permanent scratching of the glass. Granted it will require more elbow grease than using compound.

Thanks! will look for it or get one from eBay

which one?

The white one I think.

Yep the white one

Depends on how long it was stored for and how...

Tires expire after about 5 years of its manufactured date. No matter whether it's been on road or home, after that time, tires are no longer reliable. The manufactured date is printed in every tire.

@TarragonTV I didnt know this

Does washing often take off the wax?

Progressively yes....depends on the shampoo you use as well. If you use something like AUTOGLYM, Maguiars, Turtle Wax, etc...the recommendation is that you use their wash and wax shampoos. Been using Maguiars for sometime now and with the wash and wax the wax does seem to stay a bit longer than when I would just wax and use a normal shampoo. 

I use a japanese shampoo(cant remember the name) and it has a wax like compound too.

Euro-III is available at IOC sheds (so they say). 

Yes. IOC buys all fuels except Euro III from Ceypetco

I dont think LT tyres are required unless I'm planning to load the vehicle to the maximum capacity. 

Fair enough.
