  1. We thank JDNet for his extreme enthusiasm and he seems to be our biggest fan.

Other banners and ideas will be implemented to ensure that finding our booth will be a simple as possible.
  2. I am surprised that many auto lanka readers did not find our stall. We had huge banners, A television playing drift videos, Free gifts, a suzuki dzire a swift and entire Yamaha booth around us. Further more we placed a Ultra Racing Cone at the entrance of the right hand side tent. (Hino Trucks, Honda, Yamaha, Castrol and Suzuki were all there including us)

  7. Thank You very much everybody for the queries and comments. I am hoping to organize a a suzuki swift owners road trip aka start an official group. Those interested please post or inbox me
  8. If anyone can tell me the correct way to create photo previews I will greatly appreciate it. Sometimes the flickr preview works at other times nothing just the link!!!
  9. I looked everywhere for Shell Helix Ultra. Not easy to find? Have you ever used mobil 1 oil and found a difference? Also how many KM have you driven before performing and oil change?
  10. Preview to the Car Audio Installation. I am having problems adding more links to this page so will be making new threads in future. Preview for Audio Speaker installation
  11. I found information related to this. you may have to opt for 185/65 R15 Check following links I have used Potenza and Turanza Tires Potenza is prohibitively costly and is insanely expensive in Sri Lanka. A Rs 9000 tire costs 30000 due to tax. The tire is awesome, super stiff and u can feel every bump on the road. Super road grip in wet and dry conditions. For Carpeted roads. Terrible if u have allot of potholes I have bought the Turanza GR 90 tires and had them installed from Autodrome. Fabulous for a smoother softer drive with comfortable driving performance. Tested on Suzuki Aerio Previously was using Yokohama S series but not available in Sri Lanka "Came with car" was also super Do ask for a discount more than 10 percent. U may just get it. U and H has a massive variety and do check with them to. (Near Burgers King and Cinnamon Lakeside) Recently tried Tire shop near Bambalipitiya Mosque. Super service too. http://dsl-tyre.com/product_catalogue/champiro_eco.php Size Available and seems good? Not tested http://dsl-tyre.com/product_catalogue/champiro_gtx_60.php http://www.autodrome.lk/downloads/pricelists/Bridgestone%20Price%20List.pdf Bridgestone Price List http://www.amwltd.com/pitstop/html/location.htm for good year http://www.unitedmotors.lk/contactus.php Yokohama Tires D*MO are agents for Michelin
  12. I would suggest you go to Either Kithul Watte or Rajagiriya Service Centre from A*W. They are actually very nice and will only ask you to replace or fix a part if needs to be. Just get it checked by the agents as its the safest. If near Peliyagoda the High tech centre is there from A*W as well
  13. Not exactly illegal as I have never been stopped by police regarding my Lights. Tint on front passenger windows is not allowed. 100 percent Illegal and the Police will peel it off if stopped. "Does not apply to factory tint since its non removable" Do not put super high kelvin temperature lights. They are blinding. Also Adjust the reflector to point slightly downwards using the in car adjust dial. For good value and good service try AUTO PAL. I bought my lights there and after a year and 3 months they malfunctioned. Water had gotten into the wire circuit. I went to get them checked and they first clarified if I was under warranty. Since not under warranty I got a new wire kit at a very affordable price replaced by them. Lights are all ok. Very happy switching to HID as road visibility greatly increased. Just for Laughs: Motorists just keep knocking down the little street lights we have making them a requirement! LOL!
  14. Strange, Mine came witht the wire and a small sign saying aux ipod port in japanese. Maybe depends on model? Mines Cvt 2008 swift. I suggest get a fm transmitter like the ones used on ipods or available with some newer mobiles. Changing the head unit is expensive and if money is a constraint get the phone over the head unit.
  15. I am not sure regarding your quyestion. However, if you look around you should be able to find them near union place. Just some walking around needed. Worst case scenario, you can check with agents and install a compatible visor which if I am not mistaken is available for the indian version swift. An extra question. When driving with window down do you have excessive wind noise due to the visor?? TC.
  16. Best solution is to use your head units aux port cable in the dash storage compartment. Connect it to a mobile phone or a radio cassete player and tune into what you like listening to. The gadget is available from audio vendors and is known as a RF modulator, It is pretty useless since allot of distortion in your audio signal is created. Worst case is to switch your head unit or to buy an external tuner with a fm transmitter.
  17. I am having a problem with adding pictures to my post. It says "save in post" error when I want to add photograhs with comments. Does anyone know how to create an album in the forum editor My Media. Any other help will be appreciated Best Regards,
  18. Hello, I have a Suzuki Aerio and it is a very good vehicle that is both fuel economical and fun to own. Regarding your purchase make sure that the suspension is in working order and all engine mounts are also not worn out. In my long ownership period I have had to change 2 sensors and the suspension. New repairs include replacement of engine mounts and the cv joints. If you are getting the car please ensure theat you do the following!!! Get a full inspection of the car by the agents. This is highly reccomended if you want to make a purchase decision. Personal Opinion : For your budget range I would suggest you have a look at the new kias or hyundai offerings or a few alternative in the brand new segment. You might get better value by investing more in a new car vs a old version Best Regards, Abbas J

Option 1 is the standard most cost effective way to improve stock car audio. Option 2 is the full works approach to create the ultimate audio visual extravaganza for the neighborhood you live in. Option 1 Hassle Free (Cost Effective) Method STAGE 1 : CHANGE YOUR SPEAKERS STAGE 2 : Change your Head Unit STAGE 3 : Add A Powered Sub Option 2 Allot of wiring, extra costs, cutting and the use of dedicated amplifies and non active sub woofers STAGE 1 : Throw your Head unit and Buy A DVD MULTIMEDIA RECEIVER STAGE 2 : ADD a 4 Channel Amplifier. (Under Seat or in the Rear Storage compartment space) STAGE 3 : Get the System wired. Select Wire Kits, Special Fuse, Remove seats and tear ur car apart temporarily. Spend on interconnects and premium high gauge wiring too STAGE 4 : Now you need one or more Subwoofers. Decide monochannel amplifier, 2 channel bridge , 4 channel bridge and then be confused. STAGE 5: Once your system is operational an you have the watts to shake the neighbor hood you are the king of your area. STAGE 6 : WAIT FOR PEER APPROVAL AND BE THE ENVY OF ALL.
