Hello, I want to convert my light from halogens to HID. I've already bought an HID kit (35w, 4300K). I'll be getting HID projectors next week. So basically is there any place that could do the retrofit for me? I don't have the tools to go about cutting into my headlight assembly and would rather let someone who actually knows what they are doing, do the job. Going through the thread, seems like bara stereos can perform the job? Any other recommendations(I'm in Panadura so ideally Colombo would be the furthest I'd want to travel to)? Thanks in advance!

I had a similar issue. Steps I took to fix it were; 1) Replace fuel filter (didn't help) 2) Tune-up (didn't help) 3) Replaced O2 sensor (partially helped) None of these helped until one fine day that car was missing so bad, I couldn't go past 20kmph. Problem diagnosed to bad distributor coil. Also had tune-up done with throttle body being cleaned and new spark-plugs. Hope this helps! Note: When the problem first came up, Stafford suggested replacing the IAC valve (my car is a 4-speed auto Integra).

Took the car to an electrician today. The car had 7 pages worth of errors. Errors cleared and then drove the vehicle until the CEL popped up again. Now there's only 1 error code(17-02(P0501)) VSS No pulse or noise = related to speedometer not working. Vehicle speed sensor has a broken pin. O2 sensor was removed(because the car kept revving between 800 and 1500 rpm). That sorted out the rev hunt and almost fixed the bad idle. Cleaned the sensor and re-plugged it. Car runs almost fine now. I'll have to get down an O2 sensor, VSS and MAP(might as well change that). This electrician also suspects bad distributor. Wiring seems ok though I'll start collecting up for a new wiring harness. Don't have any grounding kits that I know of. Also I'll have to get a gasket kit(planning on removing the intake manifold and cleaning that as well).

Thanks, will get that checked out. Though around 5 months ago I had a similar problem. The car never stalled but sputtered randomly(both when accelerating and driving at a constant speed). Problem diagnosed to be bad IACV (by stafford and 2 other garages). 3 weeks after the problem, CEL came on. Using a piece of wire on the diagnostic port, found the problem to be O2 sensor. Removing and cleaning it fixed the problem. I dismissed the O2 sensor as the culprit for my current problem because the symptoms are different. Could still be O2 or MAF sensor. Going to get the car scanned tomorrow(CEL keeping coming on with speedometer not working and ABS randomly turning on). Not going to pull a code with a paperclip since I might have more than one error code at this point @Rumesh88 Yes, car runs fine at high rpms(anything over 1200). Cold start rpm is close to 1500 and then drops down to around 800. Even when the engine sputters, I can press the accelerator and the car accelerates with no hesitation.

Hey, My car sputters/misfires at idle and low rpm(throttle barely pressed). The problem first came up(might be best if I start from the beginning) on a thursday night. Car ran fine in the morning, problematic in the evening. If I accelerate, the engine loses revs(like it's about to stall). Once it finally gets going, it'll hold that speed with no issues. Couple of days later, can't accelerate above 30kmph. Stalls if I let it idle for over 10 seconds. And then finally, refused to start up at all. Problem diagnosed to a bad distributor. Coil was replaced(old one was burnt) and car started up fine and ran fine.... for around 50km. Sputtering and stalling started again. Took the car to a different garage. Injectors cleaned(tune-up done 4 months ago though they were dirty again), throttle body cleaned, manifold cleaned and new spark plugs installed. Distributor timing done and car accelerates fine(better than ever) and throttle response improved. It still sputters at idle and low throttle. Loves to rev though. The mechanic says it's still the distributor, that the new coil's resistance doesn't match the ignitor (googling this gave me no answers). So it would be best if I get a new distributor installed. What I want clarified is, is this true(coil resistance thing)? Will I have to get a complete distributor put in or just a new ignitor to go with the new coil(only one shop in delkanda had it)? Also air filter is clogged up(from the inside, car has been backfiring). Anyone know where I can get a cone airfilter? Checked panadura(one shop called a few more shops in panchikawatta) and kaduwela. No luck . EBay shipping is $50+ . Car pulls even harder without airfilter. Car is a 1998 Honda Integra. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!

Can anyone give me a rough idea on buying a car on open papers(it is on open papers and I'd like to have it registered to my name if I buy the car). The vehicle in question is 300-xxxx This http://www.gic.gov.lk/gic/index.php?option=com_info&id=413&task=info〈=en is the best I could find regarding vehicle transfers.
