  1. This type of dumb policies is wht makes people take shortcuts like getting the engine numbers engraved to the new engine rather than go through the whole hassle. I think I have said enough.

    The best option would be to follow crosswinds advice. There are places at Panchikawatta that do it. No hassle with the RMV. Its illegal though, so be discreet with your enquiry.

  2. 90's Corollas are solid cars and their engines and transmissions can last a long time without major issues. However as they are at least 15 years old they are in that precarious period where the rubber parts begin to perish. The result will be frequent niggles such as small oil leaks, suspension noise etc requiring frequent visits to the mechanic. Nothing serious though and not very expensive to fix provided you have access to a good mechanic and don't mind the hassle.

  3. The G grade has AC with climate control, RPM, a more informative LCD display, multi function steering, leather wrapped steering and gear knob and a few chrome inserts as standard. You can add some of these to the X grade for a premium, hence the confusion. Just check the Toyota Japan web site for more details and pics.

  4. According to your theory i guess Ferrari is a suped up Fiat and Lamborghini is just a fancy VW

    Absolutely correct. You got the point. Congratulations!

    Anyway I'm happy for Lamborghini, they used to be just fast tractors!

  5. If you want to kill yourself, its your problem. Existing laws about public smoking is enough to protect others, as long as they are enforced.

    BTW the pictorial warnings won't help for the "Thamusay dannawada mama kauda kiyala" issue either

    You need to have a broader view on this because passive smoking kills too and the laws will not protect friends and family of a smoker . The other issue is we have 'free health' in this country which means the tax payer has to foot the bill when these guys end up in hospital with heart attacks, strokes, cancer etc utilizing scares resources.

  6. I guess this is another strategy by cigarette companies to indirectly fight against the pictorial warnings, diluting the message by dragging others in to it. Don't get caught. The fact is that cigarettes cause more health hazards to the smokers as well as those around them than any of the other things mentioned. There is no safe limit for smoking, even one cigarette is bad for your health where as drinking in moderation or the occasional burger will not cause any problem.

  7. There could be several reasons for less Lancers being imported. The current Lancer has been around for 7 years and will probably be replaced soon. One could buy a used one in good condition for around 3 million, sell the permit and save around 1.5 million while having the same car. The new Mazda 3 would appeal to most people who want similar driving dynamics as the Lancer as it is competitively priced and is all new.

  8. Shouldn't be an issue if the correct oil was used and the correct procedure was followed. However since CVT oil change is a bit tricky and as it is critical to use genuine Toyota CVT oil, a potential buyer will have peace of mind when you try to sell your car at some point if it was done at Toyota Lanka.
