    Normal Vehicle Transfer Documents Required

    in Car Buying Information

    Posted

    Good. Now you will get the book back from RMV by 2081.. and no you cant. you have to obtain an MTA 11 form from RMV by the time you did the transfer and with that paper only you can update revenue license. If not you cant. Didn't you know if you put to transfer during this time, you wont get the book? I also did the registration 2 months back and i also wont get the book before I die, so i took the mta 11 form and got the revenue license updated. As for you, you have to keep the car home without driving until you get the book back cuz RMV is now closed until like 2081

    Dude i'm serious here. I don't want to get in to any legal issues after i bought the car. 

    machan im also serious. I bought a car too and put it to transfer. I know il never get the book back or will be able to sell the car with my book back.. so a buyya asked the car to buy without the book also cuz RMV loves to be shut down until covid ends. 

    Personally il never buy a car with open books to get into any legal issues to begin with. People can say its ok to buy but who knows if there is some issue in it? you are f**ked for life. There are enough of good cars with clear documents by the owner. 

     

    Starting a car flipping business...

    I'm planning to start a car flipping business for an aesthetic pleasure and some extra cashflow.

    Buying cars from the 90s with fixable issues from the  users and through leasing auctions.Then add value and make them reliable by fixing running repairs doing paintjobs, detailing the interior and exterior. Customize them without changing the originality to make them look good like, nice set of alloy wheels.

    I know a painter, a mechanic and an upholsterer who do good quality work for an average price. I can source parts through recondition part shops in Akurana, Gelioya, Mawanella, Kurunegala and Delkanda, or at the worst situation ebay them.

    My starting budget would be 1.5 - 2 Million. And fixing budget would be 100-150k based on the car
    Cars that I'll love to flipping on my budget would be AE80 Sprinters, AE100s, 323s, Cefiros, Bluebirds, Lancers. Will be transparent to the customer on what I got replaced and what he will be getting.

    My dad did a recent positive flip with a 2007 van. But telling him this idea he says the fixing costs would be way too higher than i think.

    Will customers pay a premium of 100-200k than the market price for good-looking reliable vehicles which make heads-turn? And have anyone of you have tried this kinda business. Would like to know what your experiences are...

    You should start restoring Preseas. Man thats the best restorable car you can get for a cheap price. And people die to buy those too. Can't even stop to take a piss on the road people come asking if im selling my preseas. And they give me offers I can't refuse I had to sell 4 preseas and buy a presea again.

    What is the average fuel consumption of a cefero a33.

     

    3.5km per litre if you accelerate hard and 4.5-5 per litre if you keep the rpm below 2. In the singapore version there is a button called power mode. If you switch it on and accelerate over 2 it does 3km in city

    You have two options, ur questions are not very conclusive

    If u want to try ur luck, use a fuel addictive and run for a week or so, if fails, try a carb cleaner.

    If both fails go for a carb tuneup, i dont know any specalist, my case i do on my own

    Yes, makes sense.. Thanks for your input mate :)

    So thats it, most probably ur carb had been set for lean mixture to increase mileage, as far as im concerned nothing wrong with ur fuel system, try a fuel addictive if u think the lines are blocked

    I see.. I also have to mention that time to time when i accelerate, the car doesnt go comparing to the acceleration I give.. at times only.. the pick up is not that great.. the RPM doesnt go up either when I accelerate and suddenly it goes up when I dont take my foot off the accelerator..this doesnt happen everytime, but only at times..

    I would rather allow the engine to idle for a couple of minutes before accelaration, if the car doesnt bog down, then ur carb is fine. 

    Btw what is the fuel consumption

    kept the engine idle without accelerating. Car doesn't bog down.

    fuel does 7 in city, which was the same figure as my previous 2 EFI Auto Presea's.

    But why????

    I can't fathom as to why you didn't get the EFI one, in this day and age carbs are troublesome and an inconvenience. 

    Because there were no good condition R11's for sale for the past 4 months. No one in their right mind who has a good car will sell theirs during this time

    Interesting: Preseas look so stylish I forget that there are some from that era where we had carbs! Lovely looking cars, but I don't envy anyone who has to mess about with carb settings and fuel / air ratio adjustments!! 

    Going back to your issue:

    1. I would definately check the fuel pump pressure? And by tune up I assume he looked at the carburetor so I guess we can rule that out, but it does seem as if the fuel air ratios maybe causing the issue...but anyways yes, then:

    2. I would look at the ignition process, as well as hunt for a vaccum leak somewhere as well for that could be throwing the air/fuel ratios off too

    (I would focus on things when the engine is cold as it probably powers through this issue when its warm, so a fuel starvation issue?) 

     

    yeah thats what I thought too.. Il check it out with someone else too who does carb stuff. Ravi didnt clean the carb he only tuned.

    Did he check / service the fuel delivery system - fuel pumps, carburetor etc? 

    Makes sense as its a carburetor based system....How old / what model year is the car? 

    No he only tuned up and cleaned the injectors.

    its a 93 model car

    starts the car every morning.. Accelerates and the car goes 10meters and stops everyday at the same place (like the car finished fuel).. and then i start again, and the car goes without a problem.. this happens everyday like it stops at a bermuda triangle.. Also sometimes when I accelerate the car RPM nor the car doesn't pickup as it should.. this is not an EFI engine and its a carb. Took to nissan ravi, he drove and said he doesn't feel anything of that sort, the pickup is less because its auto he said. So what should I do? it doesnt pick up like the previous EFI presea i had.

    Doubt it if most guys are open during the holidays. Good chance for you to do a DIY carb clean. Get a carb cleaner from a auto parts shop and follow the instructions. Shouldnt be a problem as long as you are not tuning it on your own. Carb cleaner is just a spray on which you would normally spray on top of the carb from where the air filter bolts on.

    no the fuel lines needs to be cleaned too.. because every morning the car stops as I start it and accelerate
