Drifter,

I had 1 alloy wheel repaired on my Accord after encountering a terrible pothole. The wheel was totally out. It was done by professionals in boston and the job was really good. No worries about the wheel being out or anything...it was repaired as good as new.

I have heard a lot about International Tyres and have no doubt that their service will be equally pro-grade.

Haha, we have yet another CRDi convert. Join the club NC, I was blown away when I drove an Accent CRDi for the first time in 2003. Diesels have so much more character than petrols....CRDi rocks!!

Hey NC,
well man..thats CRDi tech for you..absolutely mindblowing. I'll tell you something..a few days back I drove my Indica (after many days) & it felt so horribly slow

I mean not that I was flooring the CRDi or anything but just that damn thing is fast even in regular driving! Like I always say if only noise in the car was dampened then one would absolutely have no idea that its a diesel. And yes the suspension is better than the petrol Accent & so are the brakes..the ride is also better since the car weighs around 1150kgs.

My car is just 10days old now..i'll surely let you drive it when we meet the next time.

RJK · 20th September 2004, 19:24

& yes CRDi definitely rocks! I'm now officially what you & GTO said...a petsel head

hey rj , ur indica isnt sold yet ??

btw , am seriously thinking abt adding the crdi amongst ma cars. makes more sense in having a diesel car as a backup for all the petrol thats being blown away in the ikon. hehe...mayb im getting old maan !!!

now , when is hyundai launching the crdi getz ??

cheers

RJK · 20th September 2004, 20:17

NC,
no man...my Indica hasn't gone yet. If you do have any one who might want it then let me know. Yes, it does make sense to have a diesel car in the family if you travel long & with CRDi you also get the fun & not just a boring diesel engine.
Getz CRDi expected by March..
