  1. I was out in the morning on a ride in my car,
    I hadn't driven very far,
    There in the middle of the road ahead,
    A man was drunk, and he jumped to his death.

    I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the left,
    Round and around the car spun instead,
    With the screaming tires, and a truck behind,
    For a moment I thought, it was the End.

      both are fine :) i got a cramp in my leg though, i was cruising at around 80.. to cars (premio and axio) behind me came head on while the car was spinning around like a merry-go-round in the middle of the road and stopped very close to my car.. for a moment when i saw them coming my way, I just thought, this is the end

      depends.. there is a possibility it may do better than 1.5 since it requires less effort to get to a certain speed isn't it ?

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      yeah 2 1.8l owners said the same, that it does better than the 1.5.. 1 person had both the 1.5 and 1.8 version.. 

    4. PerfMad

      PerfMad

      well ideally it should be.. not sure how practical it is in city limit traffic.. but outstation defa. And since you mainly use it on weekends it should give you quite satisfying fuel figures :D 

  3. Is there any hybrid car I can borrow on Saturday from someone??... I can pay for the rent not on KM basis, but just for the day for the usage.. Anyone willing to lend theirs???

  4. Any recommended mechanic who I can take with me to inspect cars, who is based around, kandana, ragama, wattala, peliyagoda, kelaniya areas? 

    1. PerfMad

      PerfMad

      check Ravi kelaniya.. he is a busy man though.. He is well known for Nissan's. You may get some leads on preseas as well..

       

    2. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      Yeah ravi is the one who maintained my previous presea.. i dont think he has time to come mate... 

  5. Anyone based in Russia? Need to get a center consol panel down. 

  6. Anyone going to Thailand anytime soon?? Need to get something small down.. 

    1. PerfMad

      PerfMad

      Broo contact Shamith Jehan via FB. He usually bring down parts from thailand

  7. Anyone has a set of H4 Nightbreakers I could buy from? Forgot to buy the nightbreakers during the restoration process.

      Machan I think I removed mine from the allion when I sold it. Let me check.

  8. Contemplating whether to keep the 185/70/14 or to go for 205/70/14... The idea of the project is to make this look classy and not sporty... So Worried of the following reasons:

    (i) The comfort level will reduce

    (ii) The classiness of the car will go away

    (iii) Fuel efficiency will drop down

    (iv) Handling will be harder

  9. Giving away the Presea if I get a very high offer over 2.1. If it doesn't meet my expected offer, I won't sell it. Why? Because I'm bored with my life and keeping it only cause I've invested a lot on it. I will either way sell it when Covid is over to fly for Music concerts. I don't love cars anymore.

      @PreseaLover Everything degrades over time my man. There's a good chance for your love for music concerts to last as long as your love for cars did

      I dunno man. I’m confused. Your older posts say a whole different story. Maybe try politics? You seem to change your beliefs and policies. Just right for politics ?

  10. Guys I have a pioneer DVD/Reverse Camera setup.. Since I never was a fan of this, if anyone is willing to exchange the DVD player with a double din audio player, let me know..I just need a double din audio player

      But those original audios came with typical JDM FM range and a cassette player, didn't they?.

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      yeah, im just going to put a double din audio player without the touch display which is a new one, similar to what i had in my previous car.. i mean the one with buttons :) found a used one from someone for a low price so im selling my dvd player for a lower price too :) 

  11. Guys if the shift in the gear between P and D is rough (like you  need to put additional effort from your hand to put it to D from P like something is stuck inside), but the shift from D to the 1,2 or any other gear is smooth and no need a big effort, does that mean there is a problem in the gear box or the gear shift pole?

      Could be the inhibitor switch, a not so difficult cheap fix to replace or repair, but catastrophic failure if ignored. Is it on a hill?

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      its the gear cable mate.. so what the mechanic said was the gear cable should be turned towards the other side a bit which will fix the issue.. so from the spanner he moved the gear cable a bit and the issue went.. now there is only a slight roughness.. and said thats the maximum the gear cable can be pulled... not on the hill.. it was in the flat road. 

    4. PerfMad

      PerfMad

      may be you can replace it with a new one down the line of your restoration project :D

      Glad my hunch was correct :D 

  12. Guys, anyone knows any CROWS from RMV? What i plan to do is to get the crow to give me a list of 'H' number preseas in the country, and find those mofo's and offer them a price to sell their cars.. So any CROW contact please???

      I don't wanna steal another man's woman for my happiness mate

    4. Crosswind

      Let's do like this. 

      1. Buy the old presea

      2. Give it to me for a day

      3. I'll crash it and give it to you

      Then it will be a restoration project. You can fix armrests, paddlebrakes, coilovers and everything

  13. Guys, can I custom fit Center caps for any alloys? How can I search for center caps for size 14 alloys? in ebay etc. its mentioned with mm's.. Has anyone bought center caps before?

      I bought a set for my Bluebird form eBay and it fit perfectly. If I remember right you need to measure the center cap size diagonally.

    3. Davy

      Davy

      @Magnum How can a circle be measured diagonally? :D 

    4. Magnum

      Magnum

      @Davy lol I meant by measuring the diameter :D

      My bad!

  14. Guys, do you think buying from a car sale can be a risk than buying from an individual even though it is inspected by a mechanic? cuz after my cefiro incident of buying from a car sale, im very reluctant to buy from sales as those salesmen can hide issues and sell the car

    1. matroska

      matroska

      well this is where inspection comes into place. The sale guys as you mentioned are better at the game than an individual. However some times the guy selling his 'Personally used car' is also a buyya  who has mastered the art of beautifying and selling crap-heaps.

    2. tiv

      tiv

      You could have used a professional inspection company, no way a mechanic can recommend a car buy just beating around it and looking at the engine dipsticks / caps etc.

      Also car sales keep certain cars in rented houses/ company buildings etc and to get rid of them!

    3. Crosswind

      Crosswind

      In your case, its not the seller thats the problem. Its the buyer.

  15. Guys, since the year end is coming, if you come across any Tyre shops giving out discounts for Alloy Wheels and Tyres do let me know :D the tyres and alloy wheels are in the roadmap of my project and discounts would help alot :D 

    1. PerfMad

      PerfMad

    2. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      lol! No don't do that...Give us an update on the two Preseas. Do you have both of them? And did you get the pictures done up as you wanted? 

  18. I cant believe no one wants to sell their preseas. its just a simple requirement.. an 'H' number automatic Presea and that's it.. is this too much to ask for?

      funny i cant seem to find anyone to buy a presea GL number though

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      @dantoddd if yours were an 'H' number I wouldnt hesitate, as my name starts with 'H', the requirement is mandatory for me. 

  19. I have black Alloys (Size 14) and if anyone is interested in exchanging their Silver alloys with mine, let me know.. 

  20. I have done some motoring Karma in my previous birth that I have to suffer finding a Presea in this birth... sigh

    1. Hyaenidae

      Hyaenidae

      ...like selling a perfectly fine Presea on a whim ?

  21. I have spent 50k on transport and mechanic costs inspecting Presea's all around the country for the past month upto today. And I'm getting tired of it. But do I settle for less? No, the hunt continues for an H' number automatic...

      >Um...looking at your wall I think many have already drawn that conclusion already... the folk that still hang out with you? They are doing that out of kindness

      LMAO :D 

      >ammatasiri  talk about cross-forum love affairs

      The dude @Hyaenidae mentioned my real name also. I know most people know my name, but now everyone knows my name after that. Revealing one's identity is not done out of good humour mate

      >its like talking to a brick wall 

      Wahahahahah :D on a daily basis at least a minimum of 5 people tell me this and make that suggestion, even my parents :D It's like loving one girl and living with another. Same here, even if buy another car I will always want to go back to a Presea, the love is eternal.. The devil got into my head and he is the one who made the decision of selling my previous. Now the devil is out and I got my senses back.

       >mentioned my real name also

      Didn't know you wanted to keep it a secret, (I know that is a weak excuse) I apologize... But if you take a look at that thread you'll see your name was mentioned even before I mentioned your last name so I thought it isn't a big deal

    4. matroska

      matroska

      out of curiosity did a search on the particular forum and well in all honesty Hyanidae has been 'bumping' the thread so maybe the man actually wants to help :D 

  22. I've been seeing a Presea advertised in the quick site for all these years for 3 times now, in fact i went to inspect the car 4 years back and didnt buy it.. all 3 times it was advertised, I see that the odomoter is tampered with... does every tom dick and harry who buys cars does this now when they want to sell?.. shik

      This happened to one of my relation who bought a 2000 Corolla 121. He saw the ad on paper abt the car and inspected the car. When he was ready to purchase,someone else had bought it for around 2.7mil. Then he chased the buyer and bought it back for 2.77million.When he purchased it, it was clocked around 78000-79000 kms. When I saw the car, it was in good condition in perfect shape, but seemed a bit worn like. About using for around 4 years,he sold it for 3.1 million and the mileage was around 110k as I remember. One day when I met him after sale he said.”Malli man ahu unane!!!” According to him the car had done nearly 300k kms and the seller had tampered it. He noticed when he saw a service sticker mentioning the mileage over 300k kms. When he sold it, the car had done closer to 350k kms. Anyway, I didn’t give him any trouble.

      But look how the cars are abused here in SL??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

      Even a famous person I know in education field also tampered the mileage from 270k kms to 125k kms....funny thing is, he is a very religious person. Told me it cost him only rs.2000.???

      1.4mil for the Cefiro... for the Presea 1.6.. Max - 1.7 if the condition is top, but should be an H number automatic though. cuz my real name starts with H and I cant set my mind to buy anything other than a H number
