  1. Its new to me that such indiscipline is not isolated to a one off incident- you'd expect a leading school to uphold its reputation better.
  2. Yeah sure. happening for ages justifies it? Lets see them try that trick at the Greens match
  3. Looks like a naughty habit he might have picked up from a Russian.
  4. Hey thanks buddy. Got all my stuff in and had a good time. The lighting was very photo friendly- got some nice shots even with f4 and no IS
  5. WHAT THE F*CK??? Need to soot the moron who even thought of a coming up with a rule like that
  6. Right- issue is with the build quality I guess then and this is shooting more indoors as well I guess. The mk2 will be interesting if they do IS with it as well
  7. Speaking of backups- really interested in knowing how the 15-85 is holding up with you're work load
  8. the noise is from you're steering rack ends or the rack itself, you may possibly have a leak as well. The steering pulling to one side- can be due to weak shocks or bushes. Could also be due to warped brake disks- get the whole suspension inspected.
  9. I'd love to have my hands on even an old MkII or III!
  10. Not an expert on diesel engines in anyway.. but older diesel motors tend to use glowplugs as opposed to spark pulgs you see in petrol motors. The glowplugs function on electrial resistance which is then used to heat them upto the optimal teperature needed to fire up engine. This process takes a few seconds which is why you need to wait a while when starting the engine when its cold. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
  11. This is getting stale- people who contribute nothing to the site are somehow the ones to criticize the way its run! And that too in defense of the misfits who don't know how the behave. The site's done fine upto now and really we need to just start deleting these threads that aimed at personal slander. Peri - that within the rules right
  12. Where did the OP ask for any info on Toyota? And you're comparing this to a 'Toyota' what? Townace? Don't advice people on things you dont fully know about. Your reply is utter rubbish . 1) Parts and repairs- There are many parts that are compatible with the standard accord, but there will be a certain amount of difficultly it matching 'Euro R specific parts like the suspension and larger break pads. Since there are only around 4 cars in SL, you wont find people stocking them. But you'll be able to source them from abroad. The Agents will support you on the running repairs- and people like Zakie (tuned i chips) have experience in tuning & repairs 2) Maintaining the car- depends on what you mean by this- this a premium car which will not fail if regular services and running repairs are attended to. And Honda's from this age are known for reliability even with high miles on them 3) Market value- Sports cars in SL tend to not hold value the same way mid range economy cars like Sunny's and Axio's do. Its not something one should expect when buying a car like this. However there is an enthusiast market for sports cars- and the right person will pay you're price if they want and like the car enough
  13. Nope the fogs are a factory option. not a standard
  14. What really do you mean by that? You cant generalize what fuel to run based on engine compression ratio. Eg. Some EJ20 subaru Sti engines come with ratio's less than 10.
  15. A VIRS running 17's for a long period will have tonns of suspension related issues. Nothing that cannot be solved though
  16. Saw the height off sickness today- A Geely fully rebadged with Cadillac CTS decals

      yeah it was missing fender lights as well :))

  17. how do you know that there is water in the gear box? If its manual- just change the fluid and observe as its unlikely water will get into it unless it was taken apart before and was installed in an incorrect way. If its an automatic- you're in for some trouble as it means that the coolant lines from the radiator than cool the ATF fluid have sprung a leak. You'll need a really good mechanic to advice you on how to sort it out
  18. Ok I'm in as well- I'll bring by Prius touring edition, sorry guys I know mine will be lot faster as its hybrid with an electric+Petrol powered engine, but I have this only. My friend said he'll bring he's Honda Insight as well 1- Watchman - Ek3 VI-RS (also 5 buddies n their rides) 2- Jdnet - 2005 Maruti 800 supercharged and fully modified. 3- Jami - 1988 minicooper (i have this only) 4- Elvis- Prius (also one friend with a Honda Insight)
  19. Oh the Bikes Open event was awesome! Its really was something to see the exotic dicing it out. What happened to AP by the way? I must say the Channel Eye coverage improved a lot with this event and they showed action in the mid pack as well and not just the Leaders like they normally do. And the female Commentator had done a bit of homework- She rightfully corrected Haritha on several occasions
  20. Yup the STi8's been sold to 5555's its already done well in the rally scene
  21. Darn that was a good Katu- especially the SL-GT final race. Great run by DD! Good runs by Janaka and Pasidu as well- coming back to pass everyone after the 'little off -track expedition' during the early stages of the race

    Probably some Dudes from India put it together- Complete with the Yindian accent that would make Russel Peters blush
