100K - 150K cars

[renzo_d10]

Mine is just an XL variant. Modified lang yung exterior. Hanapin mo na lang sa Me & My tsikot sub-forum yung thread about sa 101 ko.

Anyways. Silvertop engine costs around 25k then labor costs around 6,500. You should atleast prepare 50k for the change engine. Kasi wiring pa etc. etc.

Yup. You should register your new engine at LTO. AFAIK it costs 3,500. But then again, it's your choice. Pwede naman hindi ka magchange, pwede ka naman magchangedin. But with your proposed budget of 150k, advice ko siguro wag muna since may repairs din ang 2nd hand vehicles.

Pag nagkamoolah ka, sabay tayo magchange engine. :rofl: hehehehe j/k.

re : sa e-10. May kakilala ako sa toyota mismo who uses e-10 on his ae101 for about a year na. wala naman, gli din sakanya. shell sha nagpapagas

and nakausap ko shell, may additive daw sila na nilalagay for it to be compatible with carb, non-e10 compatible vehicles. Kaya sa shell ako nagpapalagay eh, unleaded.

:D HTH.

[aejhayl17]

* aejhay - sir, toyota 2005 up lng ang mga e10 compatibles? hindi ba ako mahirapan in the future kung sakali? karamihan e e10 na ang mga gas stations.

* renzo - sir, 2e engine is carburator? ; "swap ka to Silvertop/Blacktop engine" hindi ba hassle un? magakano additional cash out ko + mag papa engine change pa ako sa LTO nyan d ba?

meron yung iba, 1st fill up pa lang ng e10, may problem na agad, yung iba naman wala pa. pero expect problems in the long run. be alert na lang


haha dapat talaga si sir renzo kausap mu sa swap. may balak din mag swap yan ng 2e niya.

[renzo_d10]

aej :: tama. hehehe. may balak ako.

Silvertop siguro. Mahal kasi Blacktop +5 HP lang naman.

20V FTW ! :rofl: Tapos, custom headers. Full exhaust system, tapos maayos na air intake.

Honda SiR killer. Hehehe. :evil:

* renzo/aejhay - thanks guys! for now kasi naka 2000 revo glx M/T ako, planning to sell it kasi we need extra budget + mejo malakas gas consumption nya... anyways thanks again!

[renzo_d10]

NP. 2000 revo ? Yung 1.8EFi ? Medyo malakas nga yan sa gas. hehehe

tipid ang rolla pati eg sa gas. :D

[markuz14]

* renzo... yep the infamous 1.8 EFI... he he. actually ok na sa akin ung revo but depende sa finances ngayon if matutuloy plans ko to sell it. Thanks again!

[markuz14]

guys how about nissan sentra series 3? inputs sir?

[nickriingen]

guys how about nissan sentra series 3? inputs sir?

Yes, pasok sa budget mo iyan. Consider 1.6 Super Saloon, not the 1.4 EX Saloon. All power ang Super Saloon, strong aircon, nice ride. Try to look for low mileage if any, yung medyo sariwa pa.

oki oki sir. anu sa tingin nyo sir advantage (pros and cons) nya from a corolla gli?

[hilldweller]

Ang 1993 Lancer EL ko ay ok pa naman. Sabi ng mga kakilala ko ang tahimik raw parang di umaandar. Minsan nga nirerestart ko ang makina kasi di ko naririnig na umaandar pala. Wala pang kalawang. Stock pa lahat except sa aircon compressor, at some suspension parts (ball joints, inner/outer tie rod ends, rubber bushings).
Ang 1996 Toyota GLI ng kapatid ko marami na ang kalawang sa underchassis, parang nabubulok na. May butas pa ng kalawang ang bubong at pinto. Maingay ang makina parang diesel ( pero kapag nasa loob ka ng oto, wala kang maririnig na ingay ng makina). Napalitan na ang alternator, water pump. Napalitan na rin ang apat na shock & spring, rack ends. Ang mga pinalitang shock wasak na pero la kang maririnig na kalampag. Mahirap syang i-take out sa 3rd gear kahit napalitan na ang release bearing. Ang headlight at tail lights nya faded na.
Kung ikumpara sa Lancer ko parang mas luma na ang sa kanya. Pag long drives at marami ang sakay, oto ko ang ginagamit nya dahil takot sya baka raw maoverheat o masiraan sa daan.

[hilldweller]

May idagdag lang ako. Mas maganda ang interior nya kumpara sa akin. Fresh pa ang dashboard nya parang bago. All power pa ang GLI (kaya lang ang iba di na gumagana). Ang Lancer ko, manual lahat pero gumagana lahat. Cheaper to maintain ang Lancer ko, kumpara sa GLI nya (palaging may pinapaayos), I think.

I have had these cars before:

An ESi can handle abuse at no sweat (190 kph 3 passengers; powerslides, autocross).
If you consider getting this, be sure you get a real ESi, not an LX (which has a carbureted engine). Lucky you if you got one with a d15b vtec in it.(Fuel economy can go as high as 17 km/l mixed)..


A Lancer GLi (hotdog) has a relevantly weak suspension if not maintained well, but I tried doing autocross while the SLEX was still under renovation. It didn't disappoint.
It's got a great 1.5 efi sohc engine which, under a light foot, can give very decent fuel economy.
(Fuel economy can go as high as 11 km/l mixed)



Currently, I drive a 323 Astina. Sporty handling. Very willing acceleration. (Fuel consumption is fair enough; as high as 10 km/l mixed)


If you max out your budget, be sure you get one in a very good condition (walang paayusin) since you won't have money for repairs anymore).

* * * * *

My suggests:
1. Corolla ae92 (smallbody) swap with 4AFE
On theory, it should be a very fuel efficient car.

2. Honda Civic ESi
Be sure it's fule-injected: ph16

3. Corolla GLi
Be sure it's fuel-injected: 4AFE

4. Sentra B13 ECCS
Be sure it's fuel-injected: GA16DE

5. Lancer GTi (singkit)
Very light body and EFI engine can give amazing fuel economy
(I used to borrow my tito's GTi before so I know)

hildweller :: baka hindi naalagaan ng mabuti yun. My 13 year old bigbody is still in it's pristine condition. Nung nagpakabit nga ako ng muffs sabi parang bago daw makina eh.

Proper maintenance is the answer. :thumbup: And, it doesn't depend on the car kung madali masira or not, it depends on the owner. Kahit na BMW pa yan, kapag di inalagaan, wasak kaagad. ;)

cheap din naman maintenance ng gli eh. every 6 months 2k+ lang ginagastos ko for it's tune up.

markuz :: oks lang din yung series 3. Pero yung 1.6 ha.

[markuz14]

corolla gli or sentra super saloon?....

anyways, thanks again for the inputs!

[renzo_d10]

corolla gli.

cheap to maintain, cheap in gas, a/c is cool enough, design doesn't gets outdated. :D

Pwede din AE92. Engine swap ka nalang to ST. ;) or 4AFE para tipid. Pwede din beams. hehe

Ano ba yung beams? 4AGE Silvertop din ba yun?

[renzo_d10]

*isa :: nope. 3S-GE Redtop VVT-i siya. ;)

[aejhayl17]

*isa :: nope. 3S-GE Redtop VVT-i siya. ;)

kala ko mag silvertop 20v ka sir? pics naman ng muffs! sorry OT

[renzo_d10]

aej :: yup. magST ako, hopefully. haha. Kaya lang mas tipid yang 3SGE kaysa sa 4AGE. Nakaka11km/l daw yan accdg to the TACP people.

here you go. di sira yung trunk ko, sadyang binuksan yan. hehehehe

[markuz14]

* renzo.... mas fuel efficient ang gli?
