    paki linaw..

    ako depende sa parts:

    kung critical part, dun ako sa brand-new parts... kung aesthetic lang likebody parts, interior parts, accessories.. if the surplus part price is right dun ako..

    and furthure more, i use original surplus parts na talagang nasa other market that will fit my car.. but sad to say, ANG hirap maghanap nga lang ng aesthetic parts for my auster....


    kung sasakyan, just check the conversion, dapat it should be as they were in a left hand drive vehicle, easpecially the steering components.., interior switches, AT levers, cubby holes, dash indicators, much better na in LHD order, not in RHD order.. in a van, LH-sliding door is almost negligible--paparada ka naman muna ng maayos bago magbaba ng masahero noh!

    Me thread na nyan d2. Subic cars.

    In general, delikado, lalo na d maganda pagka convert. Pero kung me magaling kang mechanic, u could check.

    For me napag-isip2x ko lang, maybe u can buy un me previous local owner na.At least tested na. Hindi un ikaw ang una after d convertion.

    personally, i dont like the japan surplus cars... or any vehicle thats gone through subic for that matter.

    simply because those cars are not built for the road condition here in the philippines. also, its not worth the risk IMO.

    Simple lang advise ko sir: if you are a car fanatic, ok lang, especially if you're well informed DIY-guy or an experienced car enthusiast. Also good if you're a budding car enthusiast because this will definitely increase your experience in cars. Reason: You would know what to fix and replace.

    If you're just a regular driver ("gas and go" type) DO NOT. Reason: You wouldn't know what to fix and repair and when.
