    Ofcourse machan. Prabu waru ne e gollo. Its sad that they earn millions and live a very luxurious lifestyle, but their followers pawn their testies for "apala mudu & yanthara" and go from bad to worse. Our people are way to superstitious. Same applies top car market in SL.

      Save your money and wait for something rare to come up in the classifieds. You never know! You got lots of options tbh, search patiently.

      When I mentioned Alto, I actually meant the hardcore japanese Suzuki Alto Turbo Works:  Recaros, 5-speed manual, stiff suspension, turbocharged & intercooled with 15" Enkei wheels. If one can come across an SWK tuned one (Suzuki Works Kurume), its an even better treat! The best part? The whole package weights at 670kg (small, under 700kg, FWD...classic mini anyone?)

      An HKS BFV, a 4-point harness, 175 width sport tyres & a nice chip for the ECU and it will easily keep up with anything less than a 2.0L.  I live for the little things in life?

      Indian alto is another level though lol. My uncle used to cram all 6 members of his family including his belly into one and go on a trip to nuwara eliya. No, Im not bluffing.

      That does sound good. But still 660 doesnt give a punch bro. I would say go for atleast 1.6. Maybe a Lancer EX?

      I follow the philosophy of "drive a slow car fast"..in srilanka its very very hard to push the limits on anything above 1500cc. Nothing like driving on the edge! 

      Also, I have seen people the japanese get north of 150hp out of kei cars and my objective is just half of that. Once I do get bored, I would move on to something bigger. Either a 660cc or a 1300cc starlet GT.

      I also have a japanese moped with a 5hp, aluminum, fuel injected, liquid cooled engine of 50-LOLs-CC. And I was expected to get bored but suprisingly I've never been bored with it! But the power is hell lacking when you need to do some overtakes on the A1.

    Manjula Peiris has a BMW Z4 and a LWB Range Rover. That means they will be having the highest market in the future,not Toyota.

    My brother does live in the UK. But they don't get most American vehicles due to the humongous size.

    Unfortunately not connected to politics. I dont really want to buy somebody else's permit. Too shady. Also really expensive!

    So thats why its makes that *chras* grinding noise when you put a stick in reverse! ?

    Due to the sudden influx of Audi's in the country. Most "VW group/Audi Specialists" have raised the prices to the sky and service to the ground.
  11. fiat fan
    Get it done bro. They do it on Audis everywhere else in the world. Also I have noticed Audi's go off alignment after like 30k. (Experience from 6 Audi's). Mostly after it deals with our pot holes.

      I visited in 2018 mchn.for sure bro. Want to settle down in Kadugannawa again. No matter where I go, I always miss being in Kadugannawa, its boring and awesome at the same time

      It's a mix of both the mawanella like climate & the kandy like hill-climate. Have a few friends there. Once you get used to it, life can be boring wherever you are, just have to find a way to do something that makes us happy and makes our existence matter at the same time. Have you moved to the U.S. with your whole fam?

      True I agree.Good scenic places to drink around kadu though. They were. But now half of the family moved back.

    Mate. I would appreciate if you could update on your Nissan leaf. Thank you
  18. fiat fan
    Try to keep it nissan bro. The vetarans have already spoken above. They have lot of experience on these matters. I was a noob when I joined. Now I have a good knowledge on automobiles. Not an expert or anything,I learn something new every day. But this forum really educated me.

    BMW E30 enthusiasts?

    fiat fan replied to MrCat's topic in BMW

    Looking good. Always satisfying to have good brakes and suspension. Thats a beautiful car now. Must be one of the best around I'm sure!

    Thanks for the replies guys. So I called couple of people in customs. The tax would be close to 30 Million. The cost to buy one is 12 Million. Conversion is north of 4 Million. So the total would be like 50 million rupees. As much as I love to get it down. Thats impossible, I would do charity with that money even if I could afford it. And buy a LWB Range Rover. Hmmm I'm sad now?

    I thought this guy bought one. He was even asking about a battery change on his key. Wtf is even going on!

    Hello everyone. Hope everyone is doing good. So I recently saw one of these babies and I was wondering if I could import it to Sri Lanka? Besides having a humongous 5.7 hemi in it. Its a left hand drive.. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. I put some extra pics in. Jumping around kike a kid

    Are GDI engines that bad? Only the older Montero's and IO's had this issues. Also a lot of vehicles are GDI nowadays. Specially most of the euros. Also DCT issue is mostly on Honda's. I would take DCT over that noisy slow CVT anyday.

    Guy I know has a Jag X type and S type. He wants to sell one. Should I pull the trigger?

    It will be a weekender. KMPL/market / not C numbers and all that typical jargon is not relevent for me.

    I can put 200,000 aside for repairs every year.( Got others cars that burn my wallet ?)

      Going for the S type means pulling the trigger at yourself?

      The S type with its smooth curves is a real beauty though.

      Sorry for the delay guys. I actually locked myself out again ?. The X type was sold and I have decided not to go with the S type. Thank you
