I'm a fellow petrolhead just as you are and I own an AE86 which is just lovely to drive and I just love the way it always seeks my attention through some sort of malfunction or even a nice little wheelspin when I don't expect. A rather sexy creature for people with acquired tastes like me. I'm a huge Knight Rider fan so I guess that's obvious.
Though my car has mods on it already like;
1. exhaust (greddy Trust)
2. cold intake (apexi power intake)
3. shortshifter
4. driftknob
5. damper adjustable coilovers (GAB)
6. LSD
7. Perf Spark Plugs (Iriway 8s)
to find any upgrades is quite a hassle and in Sri Lanka it's even harder find a garage or mechanic who'll passionately make sure your car is ok, suggest and provide all services that'll make it go faster and handle better.
I want to change this.
I want all of us to get together and break this money-minded, quick-fix attitude and map those rare garages and shops that will provide performance upgrades.
There are enough and more talented people in Sri Lanka who actually do such stuff and build exhausts for overseas markets, aero parts, ect., it's just that WE in SL are oblivious to this. I want this to end right now!!!!
I'm putting up a site called www.sportstunned.com which will bring all these pentup frustration to an end. I'd love to hear from you guys on this and see what you guys think of this. The site is currently under construction so don't be too dissappointed. But let me just get the word around and all you car lovers will thank me for changing SL's mindset of doing up cars for the better.......:)
