Buying ALL NEW PAJ. GAS OR DIESEL... HELP!!!!

[bad driver]

wooohoooo!

I just drove my first 55 km on my Gen 3! It's awesome

I appreciate all the inputs of the people here. I know there are a lot of Diesel lovers here but I had to get the: tantananana!!!!!

Gas version.

So far, I love it! The v6 works wonders. I drove the first 15 kms in extreme slow traffic. It was ok. I can't tell about torgue except it's better than my 1.6 and 1.8 gas cars. that's all I can compare it to

But I went to fairview late at night and really enjoyed the ride. I only averaged 60-70 kph but never did I go over 2000 rpm. a first for me hehe.... sorry, I'm used to driving smaller cars that needs more than 3000 rpms to get to those speeds. what can I say, I'm easy to please.

anyways, I just want to thank all of you people: Gas and Diesel lovers.

Please don't think I ignored your input just because Pro-diesel won on this site. I have to let you know that the 2 other forums I went to had a 100 % gas preference.

hehe

again, Great site!

[luckytruck]

congratulations on the new ride pare

don't worry, although dito sa tsikot, there were more diesel votes. we all have one thing in common.......


inggit kami lahat sa gen 3 pajero mo hehehehehe

what's your first mod planned for the future? karamihan dito sa gen santos, 20 to 22 inch rims kaagad ang nilagay.

bad driver: welcome to the genIII club. :cool:

[pajerokid]

Haha! Congrats dude! Like I said, Gas or Diesel, you cant go wrong.

Pare post some fuel economy figures ha.

[Bogeyman]

Bad driver:

Congrats on your new ride! Hope it serves you well for years and years to come.

Tsakay pasakay naman, o. Hehehehe!

[bad driver]

hehe.... thanks guys!

will post fuel economy (if there is one!) soon!

my first mod will be the removal of the wood trim by all means. hehe... talked to options unlimited about turning all wood trims into titanium finish (like the 21st anniv Paj in Australia).....

I also saw Kelseats Carbon fiber dash yesterday tho I like the titanium finish idea better!

thanks guys! tell me what you think about my planned mod. Is the kelseat carbon fiber ok? too hehe...

btw, I heard Options unlimited were involved in some shady business a few years back... kinda turned me off tho.

[kimpOy]

congrats on ue gen 3!!!

drive safe
easy ka lang sa mods, ask your dealer first what can void ur warranty.

[mazdamazda]

pre... you can't go wrong with kelseat... ganda ng carbon fiber trim nya...

sir pk. how do you compare 4m41 and 4m40 in terms of vibration and noise? direct vs indirect injection. parang isuzu direct injection ba? di pa kasi ako nakadrive ng gen 3. 4d56 mas tahimik and less vibs vs 4m40. imho

OHV or OHC ang 4m40?

[GlennSter]

wohhhooo!!!

we gas lovers won!!
!bhwhwhahrahrharharh

bad driver...CONGRATS!!!

i wanna see i wanna see!!!

[pajerokid]

Bad driver, personally, i'd go for titanium rather than CF. Try mo rin sa SP International. They offered me the titanium finish 'wrap job' for about 12k. The downside is that you have leave the car with them for a week (or two).

[bad driver]

hello pk!

may I have Sp international's details?

can't I just leave the wood panels then comeback when they are ready to install it? hehe... anyways, thanks!

hmmm.... I think my tires are too hard cause I can hear some teenie weenie rattling sounds when I'm on rough pavement. I guess no car is perfect

I am unsure how accurate the built in tire psi meter is. It has a 3-5 psi difference (in reading) from a hand held tire pressure reader.

Is it ok to soften my tires a bit to have a better ride? how's 29 psi? thanks

[pajerokid]

bad driver, yes its perfectly okay to put less pressure to have a better ride, * 29psi I guess, minimal increase in tire wear.

I dont have SP's contacts right now, but theyre here in the forums somewhere....

Theyre also the one's handling the accessories in Mitsubishi Greenhills (mas mahal). But their shop is in Banawe (First corner along banawe from e-rod turn right, nasa right side)

[bad driver]

thanks for the info pk!

will check em out



btw, after 125 kmh of different traffic congestions, I arrived as 4.8 km/l as my fuel usage. hehe....

So far I'm loving the ride!

btw, there are 2 wires dangling just above the gas pedal. the end/tips look like 2 miniature cable tv wires. It's weird how it just dangles there. but I guess that's why I need to come back at 1000 kms.

[pajerokid]

hmmm.... 4.8km/L is quite acceptable for a 3.8L V6.

Naku! Sagwa niyang naka-dangle na wires!!! Yung sakin malinis, walang nakalaylay na wires whatsoever!!!

Wanna swap??!! hahaha ;)

Any comments on the engine? I mean power wise? , okay ba?

I suggest you get the red/white bumper lights from sp para euro look

[bad driver]

will check out sb intl' soon!


I can't be any happier with this car. I love the engine. It's ok in traffic but excellent at long stretches.... I never had this much fun driving!
the v6 is friggin fast. Again, I'm still breaking this in so im still taking it easy.

my only complaint is the very slight rattles (very mnimal) on the dash. I guess I'm just expecting perfection from a 3 day old car. I guess plastics are plastics

I don't own euro cars and lexus so I can't tell if a dashboard should have zero noise. again, if you turn on the radio, it's non-existent.

anyways, I called mitsu and they told me that the wires dangling on my gas pedal are "dumdum wires". Whatever man hehe... I just tied them up with a twistee and it's now perfect. I'm guessing those wires are used for diagnostics....

I love this car!!!!

[pajerokid]

Any comments on the ride? Is it on the harsh side. As far as i can recall its a lot better than the Gen2.5 setup. Also, aliw ba yung multimeter?

Im a gadget guy kasi and i just love these little kinck-knacks hehehe. Too bad the Gen3 doesnt have adjustable suspension though...

Yeah hehe. twisties are it!

[bad driver]

The ride is great specially after I deflated the tires to 29 psi.

when they handed it to me, one tire was 37 psi.... kaya medyo rough at first. Ok yung suspension, I only had vibration problems when on rough pavement.... caused by the extra hard tires.

It's great! Couldn't be happier, bro.


Hmmm... I was planning to run over all the lubaks in edsa... pero hindi nalang... natakot ako baka magkaroon ng rattling noises eh. At the moment, there is one (very faint) near my lower left leg.... I'm guessing it's a spring on the brake pedal yata (kasi I can hear a similar sound if I nudge the brake pedals sideways).... atleast it's not the dashboard.

It's very minor. I'm just being overly critical.

The digital compass is cool and it also has the altimeter and barometer. I guess, yun lang ang use nya. too bad wala syang gas=distance
meter tulad ng sa states

I think you'll really love it man. dami ring pwedeng pindutin tulad ng airplane. hehe. the tire pressure guage activates everytime it starts so it's quite cool. I guess ganyan din yata and sa Gen 2.5.

[kiper]

Mukhang mayaman naman si bad driver..so gasoline expenses shouldn't bother you I beleive. Pero kung umangal ka man sa gastos, dito lang kami para damayan ka.. problema ko yang gas na yan..haha

Congrats pare!
