      here are 2 pics of the tip im talking about... there is a small blockage but the air can go out - do you think this tip will have an impact?

      Its better not to have anything blocking the exhaust flow. Seems that particular tip is not very intrusive.

      But If I were you, I would go for something like this:http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_107925_1.jpg

      If you like the wider profile how about this: http://www.mufflermall.com/images/categories/rst127.jpg

  2. Am I the only one who thinks the headlight of Leaf is pointed bit upwards and way too blue for OEM headlight bulbs

      I think Leaf has blueish headlights to match with the theme of the car, it has blue bits in certain other places

      sathyajithj99

      Yeah blue is for electric I guess. Even the hybrids have a blue ring around their badges

      I find the warm halogen glow relaxing on long trips, thereby making the leafs lights an eyesore, I have halogen fogs though which are brilliant as driving lamps, they are OEM PIAA

  3. You aren't a true car guy until you respect each and every car. Its funny how some people think it makes them superior by bashing hybrids

      Its not the ride its the rider'.

      There are many decent hybrid drivers... but there are lot of moronic ones which creates and fuels the animosity.

  4. Wats with people with Alto in Kandy driving like retards? Did three wheel drivers upgrade to Altos recently?

    1. tiv

      tiv

      Been thinking about this big time..

    2. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      Don't Alto drivers all around the island drive like retards?

      They've been at this for a year,so I'm sure they're used to it by now.

    3. sathyajithj99

  8. Was tempted to write something like what TIV did, went ahead and did it. Check out the Hiace thread :D

      @sathyajith: Not yet, they are mad strong. they'll destroy the front end of your vehicle

    4. Magnum

      Magnum

      @asrock: most people dont. You can also get a fully Aussie license if your SL license is 4 years old

  10. Does the thickness of brake pads vary the size/weight of the vehicle?

  11. Some have put up their prices, some haven't. Its a confused market :P

    4. tiv

      tiv

      I kinda like that setup too, I tend to hoard Jerry cans off old mitsubishis!

      BnS are still around, havent heard frm Iraj for sme time now. Ramindu is in the US I thin. Yeah I too love those songs, never gets old. Those guys got talent.

    4. Magnum

      Magnum

      They are probably still around but not that famous eh? early teens probably wont even know them...I remember downloading songs off elakiri.com....ah good ol' days

  15. Is the duty going up again?

    1. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      The dealer from whom I bought my car thinks so. As do at least two other dealers. They've suspended imports till December.

    2. Magnum

      Magnum

      Are they expecting to go up in the budget?

    3. terrabytetango

      terrabytetango

      I think so. I saw it being mentioned on a post here in AL as well, where dealers are reluctant to bring down anymore cars.

  16. So I hear cops have moved in to a Honda meet and seized couple of cars, the Alto with the turbo had been there too and was asked to remove all the modifications

      Are there legislation against engine mods? o_0

    4. Magnum

      Magnum

      I think theres a rule stating that you have to inform the RMV if u do any modification to your vehicle but its not implemented

  17. Am I the only who turns on the music the moment I start the vehicle? :D
