  1. Well there has been a kit available for the JK for as long as it has been out to convert it into a pickup. The company just now picked up on this.
  2. Well this is a track produced, mixed and mastered by me so I guess it qualifies it being from my country too!?! https://m.soundcloud.com/d-j-jay/andro-oriental-mantra-hq
  3. Still turning heads! lol That's bit of a stretch if you ask me!!!!!!
  4. Sorry only 499 left. Solomondrins caught fire and burnt to a crisp few days after he got it. The video is up om YouTube.
  5. Well was going to say you are low on refrigerant but I guess you got that sorted out anyway. Seems like you do have a leak but its super tiny since uts around 2 years fpr it to get low. Remember refrigerant does just vanish. If it was low then means it leaked out somewhere.
  6. The mini guns look cool but thinking quite restricting on the turbo intakes. Also the rivet work is too neat and exaggerated if you look at old WWII planes its not that well done and looks so mechanical, has an organic feel to it.
  7. Talk about total stabs in the dark. The Hyundai MDPS system does not have a steering pump nor does it have any fluid. It's an ECU that receives signals from a steering sensor that hen controls a motor which turns the wheels. Seems like you bought your self a lemon since you had the problem from new and it was never really solved. While it was in warranty you should have stood your ground to fix this issue for once and for all. Could be anything from the ecu needing a recalibration, bad steering sensor to a wonky motor. Find yourself a Hyundai specialist who knows this system well and have him look at it. .As you can see majority of the people haven't even heard of this system and giving you all sort of bum advice about steering fluids and pumps. First thing would be to get someone with a Hyundai specific diagnostic tool, none of that standard OBD crap and see what errors the system is giving you and then check the readings to see of everything is in spec.
  8. If anyone watched the first episode of the current season of The Grand Tour will know its not that simple. You have to changes tyres, air intake and even a separate supplied ECU to be able to drag race it. Unlike lets say the Veyron. Where you jist use the second key to unlock all the 1001 horses and flip a switch and the car goes into top speed mode.
  9. Unless you have a supercharged or turbocharged engine where will the cold air go. Directly into the air intake? And knowing you, you will rather give up some performance gain than have to do without AC for 5 mins! Lol 😁
  10. FYI : I never remove the stat due to any heating issues. Its just one of the things I do. And I do understand the argument about backpressure in the cooling system. The reason given it needs to be in the rad for a certain amount of time to cool. But when the stat opens.its free flowing with minimal resistance from the open stat. Also in this region it's totally reasonable and understandable for one not wanting to fork out big $$$ to have the dash ripped out just so he can regain functionality over something he might use maybe once or twice in a year for an hour or so. It's like spending big $$$$$ to fix your AC while living in the artic circle. Just in case one day in summer the temp might come close to 27C Put up a poll here and see how many are willing to spend around 2-2.5k to fix their heaters on their beater off roaders or older daily driver vs 100-200dhs to bypass the system.
  11. So is the engine inside the cabin! Can't see any physical separation inside.
  12. LOL by what that thing! If I saw it on the road I would honestly think, it was an satwa special widebody kit on its way to a garage to get its tails lights installed.
  13. Have a look at both as most have the temps written on them.
  14. Thats pretty crappy of Mitsu not to offer Isofix points even in a 2010 by which time it was pretty much standard everywhere. My old ass 2003 has Isofix points.
  15. Nissan have totally lost the plot. Mrs just got handed keys to a new Nissan N17 aka Sunny from the company. OMG what a horrible car it is! Can't see anyone spending their own hard earned money to buy that POS. Only rental and company fleets.
  16. The Chinese can be very diplomatically vengeful, expect JLR sales to drop in China. Or for some made up reason JLR being blocked from selling cars in China. Canada recently arrested one of their major Phone Company CEOs at USA's direction and now China is going all out against Canada. Its already arrested a few Canadians in China, Stopped buying their canola etc etc.
  17. 1 - Out of your budget at such low kms 2 & 3 - Probably all junked due to their shitty CVT transmissions now So only real realistic options left are the Korean boys
  18. LOL seriously, come on man! As if they did get enough shout outs and mentions in mainstream songs that Lambo would sponsor some unknown Desi artists!
  19. I'm from the controversial school of thought that thermostats are absolutely a total waste in these climates and cause more problems than they prevent. I've run all my cars without thermostats even the ones people said are too complicated and would explode even if I cranked them without one. As for your OP look at the rating rather than model of thermostat. The lower the number the thermostat opens on the better in these parts.
  20. WTH is that Lumpy thing? Oh my bad its a Renault P.S : Are those holes in the widebody flares or lights. Can't make out in the pic
  21. No wonder I don't like any of them
  22. I've thing I've noticed smaller engines in SUVs specially full sized ones really doesn't translate to superior mileage. Example 4 cyl Prado barely gives a few kms over the V6 version and really shit power. So in SUVs unless it's diesel vs Petrol its always better to get the bigger engine.
  23. I agree a very hard pedal and weak brakes do indicate a weak brake booster. If it has ABS then the ABS module could be knackered which usually means big $$$$
  24. My Mrs Company rental Yaris 1.5 gives some real bad ass mileage. 70dhs to fill to the brim and easily does 500kms in city and 600plus highway. Should be getting the Indian made Sunny soon lets see how that compares. Although not looking forward to the ugly POS. Dunno what happened to Nissan, seems like they go out of their way to make ugly cars.
  25. Perfect use of the Multipla for its intended customers
