    It's the yellow colored spots, right? yesterday I was talking to one of my customer, to whome I have given a carwash sample to test which I got from UK and he could able to remove them with that. I have TarX for you, you can try the 50ml bottle.

    It's tree sap. You may use one of the following: 1. Rubbing alcohol or surgical spirit. Use 50/50 dilution. Available at pharmacies 2. WD-40. Available at rediff shopping. 3. Bug and tar remover like Carpro TarX or Muc-off bug and tar remover. Muc-off available at Careware, kmoh and GreenZ have TarX

    No no the light is the same. the black paper cutout which you keep infront of the lens .. thats the shape of the bokeh. I have cut the musical note here on the paper to go along with the subject.

    After checking the map here is my inference for fuel efficiency. For super duper mileage I suggest you try changing over to the next higher gear at 1750-1900rpm. The best fuel efficiency should be at 1750rpm when your car is making the least torque under acceleration. Check it out over a tankful; I presume you will get about 18-19km/liter. One crazy sleeper car you have in your hands and when with family keep at these rpm's unless you intentionally want the back seat occupants to throw up.....

    Thank you :) so kind of you!. I saw this beautiful wine bottle with one of my friend which looked like a violin. As well generate a bokeh to get along with the theme. So thought of music symbols/notations. The items used 1. lens with the biggest aperture ( happened to be the nifty 50 f1.8 ) 2. LED Serial lights 3. black paper 4. Tripod 5. wired shutter release I arranged the subject and also made a black background with the paper and also hanged the LED lights in front of the paper....

    This is what home sickness taught me. In Malaysia I had the food served everyday and I often ate out and now I was in Norway where the only spices was salt and pepper and onions. I could fry an egg but that was not food but breakfast. I had to try to remember the smells and spices from 30 years ago and went to London for some spices. The first dishes almost killed me and my friends. The chillis had to be used carefully and the hot Madras curry powder was a no no.. I bought a pressure cooker...

    Ripper replied to a thread The Paleo Diet in Health and Wellness
    Yes H Rajesh Kumar. Vegetables should still make almost 50% your diet, by volume. And the corollary of that is, if veggies make 50% of your food volume, the other 50% will be animal products. It's only a rough guide. I prefer meat, so my diet will be meat heavy 75:25 Equaling the mass is easy. Take a plate. A big one. Half of it should contain meat/fish/eggs/dairy and the other half should be leafy, or fibrous vegetables. Also,you're trying to equalise volume. Not calories.

    kmoh replied to a thread Car detailing doubts in Detailing Doubts
    If you really want swirl removal, there needs to be some paint abrasion or cut and it has to be done SAFELY and with expertise. This can happen only with a machine- DA or rotary. If you want swirl hiding, you can also do a polish by hand. As for regular maintenance, please use these Car Duster to remove general dust and use the duster gently on the surface. This causes the least possible swirls IMHO ( for NO swirls- dont touch the paint :)). Swirls also come with ANY cloth if its dirty, not...

    Honking is what gets me irritated, I use my horn rarely, That too short honks to alert someone. I rarely honk even on a signal if a bike driver is struggling to start his bike when signal has turned green(Reason being your honking will make him panic and delay it more), One one occasion I have got down from bike to tell a moron a sweet dialog for honking like mad when signal was red. Confession: Only once I have Honked for more than 5 secs, That too on a highway in night thanks to 2 Moron...

    Adding to what has been told, coming direct from the manufacturer- you can try and remove with APC cleaner, alkyl base and ph more than 8. Try with ultima interior shampoo gel and also with APC, see what works. I suspected the same as its a concentrate and it will stain. Let me know if you need anything else.

    Even on the move the bike still does in excess of 12,000 RPM. Unless we have a on-board cam it is impossible to shoot a vid. It would be nice if you could join for our 2stroke meets, so that you can check out the bike in person. Cheers. - - - Updated - - - D.I.D Rims on Chethan Shivakumar 's bike.
