BT50 vs Ranger Wildtrak vs Colorado (apples-apples-orange comparison)

[confused shoes]

i also have a pace edwards roll lid on my pick up. when i had it installed at ride in banawe, may kasabay ako na nagpapalinis ng roller lid nya. baklas at relube. nakakwentuhan ko. more than 5 years na ata yung roller lid nya (cant remember the exact age pero matagal na) advise nya sa akin is to bring it once a year para mabuksan at malagyan ng grasa. so the first year i had mine, dinala ko sa ride. took them mga 1-2 hours para mabuksan, malinis, ma-grasahan, at mabalik. cost me Php1500. ok na rin. part na ng preventive maintenance ko. yung drain pipe, clogged na so nilinis na rin.

i can actually do the regular cleaning from time to time pero yung pagbaklas ng spring i leave it to the experts.

baka makatulong sir yebo

Yung aking roller-up (Carryboy), umabot ng 9 years+ na without maintainance. Siguro 50% ng life ng pickup ay nasa labas ng garahe. Gumagana pa naman yung roller-up. Bumigay lang lately yung plastic na takip sa edge ng roller board.

Nababasa nga lang talaga ang flooring pag uulan.

Good suggestion! I will also have it retracted all the time it is not in use. That way it will stay clean (especially from bird poop) and the vynil will be protected from the sun's UV rays. Thanks.

update on the mileage. I filled up with seaoil at sbma, the fc was down. It was just 9.2 on the way back even though i was actually going slower. Medyo mas traffic din kasi, i just averaged 80kph at nlex, dami pabalik ng manila.

Kamusta ang torque bro? Overrated ba sa sinasabi ng iba?
Sorry meron palang seaoil sa sbma? San banda?

Potek bakit seaoil na-type ko haha, eastern pala bro sorry.

ok torque, not overated at all. In fact it is a little too much such that parang may shift shock ng konti (but not shift shock, hindi siya "thud" but more like something pushed the vehicle) shifting between R-N-D. I have not floored it yet pero at less than 1/2 of the pedal feel na ang hatak. I am still babying this a little as it only has 500km on the odo. I can tell you more after the 1000km pm.

Update on warranty:

Having the 1000km checks done now and according to the mazda quezon avenue service manager ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS WARRANTY WILL BE LOST IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE RETROFITTED, provided that there will be no cutting of wire harnesses and no tapping to wires, fuseboxes or battery terminals AND the power draw of the bulbs and ballast does not exceed the stock bulbs wattage. So having a 55 watts HID may or may not void the warranty if the total current draw of ballast and hid bulbs exceed 55 watts. If there will be cutting or tapping then the affected parts will also lose the warranty. If there is no cutting or tapping then the warranty of other electrical parts remain intact.

Goodbye amber kilay!

Update on fc: nlex-sctex-sbma-zambales national road

Based solely on trip computer, going north to zambalez it was a consistent 7.6L/100km or 13.1km/L. Going back south it was 9.0L/100km or 11.1km/L. So paakyat talaga ang sctex from subic to clark.

Based on fuel used full tank to full tank, 369km/32 liters or 11.5 km/L average back and forth.

11.5 km/l is very good considering the engine displacement and still in break-in period...
on sctex clark-subic pag southbound talaga mostly paakyat kaya mas maganda FC kapag going to subic northbound...
mas masisiyahan BT50 mo sa provincial road ng zambales kesa sa sctex... saan kaba bro sa zambales? palauig ako...

[yebo]

^^ san antonio lang sir, lapit lang.

150kph pa lang, e kasi naman laging kasama sa long drive yung pulis, este misis pala!

[yebo]

I see. Morimoto is still much better than stock.

di nga ako satisfied e, parang mas maganda pa stock halogen. Na-sales talk ako na same lang daw performance. Ibabalik ko bukas, baka papalitan ko ng koito.

Nyak? Talaga? Odd. Baka naman hindi Morimoto ang kinabit. Some large generic projectors don't work as well.

[yebo]

Parang hindi nga morimoto kasi sabi sa redline autoworks e first time nila makita ganun na projector. Anyway i had it replaced by a 3" q5 55 watts stage 2 projector today by redline autoworks, ganda na. Very professional ang gawa, alam nila ginagawa nila. Very satisfied now with the hid - bright 4300K bulb, 55 watts ballast, very nice cut off and properly adjusted and positioned. Tanggal na din yung angel eyes, di bagay e. Cost is 16k.

i already talked to the one who installed the first hid retrofit, i will return the parts to him and he will refund me the 12k i paid less labor cost (i was the one who suggested paying for the labor, negosyo nya yun ayaw ko naman kasi malugi siya on my behalf). Sorry but I will decline to name the outfit, mabait naman kausap kasi. I will just share what i learned, that if you want something done right then go to a shop that specializes on what you need done and not rely on a shop that does a lot of things. Parang doctor, may gp at meron specialist. Yun na lang.

ang matindi yung suhol ko kay misis. 4 days na daw puro kotse inaatupag ko, nakalimutan ko na daw siya. Napabili tuloy ako ng samsung note 3.0 kanina habang ginagawa yung retrofit. Ayaw pa kunwari kunin kanina, bakit daw ako bumili pero ganda naman ng ngiti. Nawala lang nga yung budget ko for nudge bar and led search lamp. Next time na lang...

[IMm29]

Hehehe! Priceless na ngiti bro.
