  1. Ever teased a cat with a Kuppamenia plant? They go bonkers for that stuff
  2. Did you get a cut and polish done? 'cause mamma mia! that car is shiny *_* Very impressive for a 2007 car. Congratulations are in order! Here's a hearty congratulation from me Some interior pics would be nice to see, if you have the time to spare.
  3. Hey-hey, I'm still in SL, not in AUS and I rarely have the chance to use the highways Anyway GPS speedo showing about 5kmph less than car speedo could be beneficial, I can show the footage on-the-spot to the traffic officer and convince him there's something wrong with his radar gun, hopefully My DC saved me 550 bucks so far, cop stopped me for crossing the continuous white line about two months ago Cop : Mahaththaya ira kapuwa ne? Me : Na na mama thani ira patan ganna kalin overtake eka complete kalane, me kameraweth thiyenawa record wela *showing the dashcam* Cop : Licence insurance gannako mahaththaya *takes a brief look at the documents and returns them* Haa hari yanna
  4. Yep I sped up to 70kmph for about 4-5 seconds to test the accuracy and the dashcam registered the speed as 66kmph
  5. The GPS speedometer have about -5 kmph difference than the actual speed tho
  6. This looks like something born in Pripyat
  7. Yep I realized that after seeing your Mustang thread. Welcome to AL btw
  8. ehenam kiyahan balanna "mata baageta pissu" kiyala English walin
  9. Sage advice, captain obvious. You sure you're not an Indian?
  10. Maybe he needs help to find a separate thread for honda GP1?
  11. Good to be sure there IS a difference between octane 92 and 95 in Sri Lanka with all the scamming going on at fuel stations I was in the opinion that the only difference between octane 92 and 95 in Sri Lanka is the fuel dispenser and the price
  12. Happy wedded life party pooper poobah!

  13. Better off not buying that then, what if the bugger never changed ATF/CVT fluid ?
  14. None taken, I too agree, darker red would've been better, something like this
  15. What's wrong with red? That car looks good on red IMO. My favorite colors on cars are red and black. Bit hard to maintain the paint tho
  16. Why do I smell cheap advertising?
  17. Found an interesting article on brake fluid ratings... Appearantly DOT 4 degrades faster than DOT 3 over time. * * * DOT 3 fluids are usually glycol ether based, but as stated earlier, that is not because they are required to be. The brake fluid industry has determined by consensus that glycol ether fluids are the most economical way to meet the requirements. By definition, DOT 3 fluids must have a minimum dry boiling point (measured with 0 percent water by volume) of 401°F and a minimum wet boiling point (measured with 3.7 percent water by volume) of 284°F. The specification says little more as far as the performance enthusiast is concerned. DOT 4 fluids are also glycol ether based, but have a measure of borate esters added for improved properties including increased dry and wet boiling points. A seldom talked about characteristic is that because of this chemistry, the DOT 4 fluid will have a more stable and higher boiling point during the early portion of its life, but ironically once the fluid does actually begin to absorb water its boiling point will typically fall off more rapidly than a typical DOT 3. By FMVSS116 standards, DOT 4 fluids must have a minimum dry boiling point of 446°F and a minimum wet boiling point of 311°F. DOT 4 is the grade applicable to most race engineered brake fluid in the world today, especially with regard to viscosity limit. Note that although the DOT 4 designation has a minimum dry and wet boiling point, a DOT 4 racing brake fluid may have a dry boiling point over 600F. Its viscosity is challenged, however, to be under the viscosity limit of 1,800 mm2/sec. Some claimed racing brake fluids exceed this important limit. Caution should be exercised if these fluids are used in race cars with ABS systems. This does not mean that DOT 4 fluids are necessarily better than DOT 3 fluids. Remember, the boiling points listed are minimums. There are certain DOT 3 fluids with higher boiling points than some DOT 4 fluids. The real differentiating factor is that DOT 4 fluid should be changed more often than a DOT 3 fluid, because of the effects and rates of water absorption. * * * http://stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/brake-fluid
  18. @Kavvz @Davy @Twin Turbo Thanks guys, will get it done then... decided to get DOT 4 filled up and stick to it.
  19. Thanks K, but what if I already have DOT 3 in the system? I read somewhere Mixing DOT 4 with DOT 3 leads to corrosion. Is there a way to get rid of existing oil completely before filling up new brake fluid?
  20. So my 09' Lancer CS3 had its last brake fluid change in 2014. Mitsubishi recommends changing brake fluid every 2 years with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Q 01: I've run less than 12k kms during this time period. Is it a good idea to change brake fluid nonetheless? Q 02: I don't remember which brake fluid is in the system now, DOT 3 or DOT 4. Does it matter which fluid is in there when getting a complete brake fluid flush? Q 03: Which fluid do you guys recommend, DOT 3 or DOT 4?
