  6. So far spotted a Nissan March and a Familia 323 here in Germany. Wonder how they source parts for these 1 off cars here. So many lovely looking 90's Mazda convertibles around

      Forget about Germany...those cars are difficult to maintain even in Japan ! Don't get me started on how difficult it is to maintain an E100 Corolla over here ! I Freaking Corolla ! The place was swarming of these things ! Now..NOTHING !

    4. Gummybr

      Gummybr

      Easy they source parts from Japan or from breaker yards. They sold well in those countries and would have left the roads with age to scrap yards etc, unless its was a collectible.

  7. If anyone wants BMW or MERC parts let me know. I moved to Germany. Rare parts can easily be found here ;)

      @PerfMad don't know about the Ssangyongs but Koreans particularly Kias - enjoy a decent run in Europe. 7 year warranty is quite attractive for them.

      Saw a pic of your car. looks nice. I assume you paid more than what you initially anticipated.

    3. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      @PerfMadyeah paid 1 million more and bought the best. The seller told if you are buying a mark 2 I should by the best, otherwise whats the point. I said f**k yeah why not and bought the most expensive one advertised :D 

    4. PerfMad

      PerfMad

      car looks clean from outside. Please post few interior pics as well

  11. Looking for a PEUGEOT 406 Automatic with English numbers. Anyone?

  12. Sold the Birdy.. Now looking for a Presea or a Vista again. Mark 2's are overpriced. I dont believe in spending a single that much over vehicles that are 20 years old. 

  13. Ever got the feeling that you will never sell your car but after sometime you really wanna sell it off to buy something else? Yes, im a cold hearted car prick like that

      I am convicned that you get your thrill from hunting down cars and negotiating for it followed on by the obsessive compulsiveness <and I mean this in a good way> to get it better than how you found it.

      So far..you have not found a car that gives you a kick more than the above (and you probably never will)...

      Okay...so..thanks for giving us a heads-up on this..we will start to mentally prepare ourselves to endure the 101 threads/status updates that will be coming up.

    3. PerfMad

      Lol its because you're following the wrong Brand. Change the Brand and you will enjoy every bit of it :D

      [SPOILER ALERT] Guys, his next Car's gonna be a Toyota :D 

      BTW macho I  think your thing is actually cosmetic restos. There are people who have made a living out of it.  So let's make peace with it - you're not gonna hold on to your car for ages. 

       

  14. Plans on selling the ARX in exchange for a Mark 2

    1. iRage

      iRage

      ithin... ? gaththada ?

  15. Whats the difference between different types of ECU's of the same engine model? For example the SR18DE Bluebird U13 has 2 different ECU types with the lable AT and AL labelled in it, and im trying to figure out does both of these would work in the same car?

  16. Where are the other experts that used to be in AL few years back. Even threads are not moving now, Doesnt anyone do any projects anymore? 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Cars sales are not that active I suppose......so the crowd asking if a 5 year old 8mil Premio is better than a 6 year old 7.5mil 3 series are gone.

      I suppose COVID restricted the freedom of movement needed to go to garages and stuff and the economy has put a damper on parts purchasers etc...so projects are sort of on the low down too ?

      All we seem to get is the occasional tech question or two.

    2. alpha17

      alpha17

      Had about 2 rough years being busy. Always planning I should do a review in the AL, but those were like balloon ideas. Love for cars never faded, and feels lucky that I have returned with more and more experiences.

      Just like everyone said, with the situation, highly doubt about changing a vehicle other than just keeping it and doing the maintenance.

  17. After going to find parts I realized how many SR20 engines are available in Sri Lanka. I mean every damn spare part shop has a SR20 engine. I thought that was rare. One day down the line when my engine wears off, I wanna swap it with an SR20. Do you think its a direct fit with the SR18 mounts? 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Just do it ;)

      Yes....I beleive the mounts are a direct fit. If I am not mistaken the main difference (where the body is concerned) between the 18 and 20 is the bore size....so things like mounts should fit. Also, since there was a version of the U13 that came with the SR20, that just confirms it a bit more. Even if not, I am sure you could get something fabricated or get the mounts off of a U13 that came with a SR20 (might have to be brand new as these thigns are pretty rare now).

      I am pretty sure there might be others who have done it...especially down under...or at least a Kiwi or two...so check around.

  18. Finally found the damn Idle sensor from Panchi. Man these spare part prices I dont know how can an average man survive buying a 25 year old car with such high maintenance cost. Only 1 place had the part and so bought it for 15k. 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      This is why

      1. old cars are quite crap because there comes a point where owners cannot find or afford to buy proper parts so they jimmy rig solutions.

      2. standard models of cars like the E90/E100 Corolla, B12/B13 Sunny are so popular. Being global models that were really popular, there are still cars that are available for stripping around the world and cheap parts manufacturers and parts re-furbishers still have a decent market to cater to.

  19. Guys I really need to find the AAC valve for the SR18 engine. Walked all around delkand yesterday and couldnt find a single one. Need help.

      @Ruslanbecause its too expensive to buy a new one 

    3. Ruslan

      Ruslan

      oh!, better to get at least a warranty if your sourcing a used one, since these parts are fairly old and you never know the status of them. no luck on Yahoo auction Japan as well? recently sourced a MAP sensor (Through Buyee) costs me only 3k bucks.

    4. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      @Ruslanyahoo also doesnt have unfortunately

  20. Just realized the only 2 colours that looks good on the ARX is the normal light silver like the one I have and black. Nothing else. so 10 years down the line I'll paint it black.

      Yeah I checked on google an seems like its the same as SR20DE, but as I remember the SR20 one wasnt the same in a shop in delkanda when i checked. Werid. So are you able to source a used one in Japan?

    3. iRage

      iRage

      SR20 has two different types..one type seems to be the same as the SR18DE.

      No..cannot find anything online. They are all for SR20DETs which is different and the one that is for a SR20DE is the second type

      Sell your car and buy a honda or a toyota. You will never ever run out of parts :D basically every individual have parts someway or other :D

      I will never go from Nissan to another brand even though there are no parts at all in SL :D 

  22. Though my viper blades are good, when it rains and when the vipers brush the water out there is this mistyness on my windscreen. Are there any special cleaning that should be done to the windscreen?

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Could be that some oily residue is on your windscreen. Sometimes service stations put their glass cleaner on which is not very good and then it is made worst by them using contaminated spray bottles and dirty cloths/paper-wipes/etc...The other thing is that your wiper blades might have some oily residue from a trim/rubber restorer on it. Try using a good glass cleaner and see if it helps. If not, you find windscreen polish/compound (do not use normal compound yourself as you will scratch the glass). Once you use the windscreen polish/compound and are confident that it is all cleared up, you might want to use somethinglike Glaco (a glass coating which technically anyone with arms, a hand and half a brain can do at home but charged an arm and leg by so called "professionals" in Sri Lanka).

      Also, give your wiper blades a good clean. When you say your wiper blades are good, I am assuming that they are neither falling apart nor have hardened and dried up

  23. Anyone got H4 night breakers for sale?

  24. Last night dream: I was kidnapped by SL Buyya's Association. They wanted me to front their party and said I'm a huge asset, so wanted me to join them. Tied me up and beat me and said I really need to join them. 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      Why not ? The other parties have set the bar real low..so you can just cruise through the job

      What did you smoke on Wednesday night? 

  25. Since I don't know if the low fuel indicator light is working in my car thought of testing this by driving until the car stops if it doesnt indicate. Filled a 1.5litre bottle of fuel and having it in the trunk just in case as the car is supposed to stop on the way tomorrow while driving to a wedding. 

    1. iRage

      iRage

      1. Is 1.5L enough to get you anywhere ? Should have used a small jerry can

      2. What kind of a bottle are you using ? Bottles like plastic Coke bottles start melting when you leave petrol in it for a long time ...so you storing petrol in it is essentially spoling the petrol by having plastic dissolve in to it.

    2. PreseaLover

      PreseaLover

      ah thanks for the tip then i shall use that petrol
