Kung solo flight lang ako palagi, i would rather go with the Suzuki Jimny.

testi- dumaan lang... ha :naughty2:
hay nakow, masmaganda dati kong delica... pwedeng tulugan hehehe...
kinokonvert ko na nga tong carens para pahingahan din...
mas ok ang cSUV than a saloon.. rear space palang kasya naman twin bed foam hehehe... teka.... pahingahan lang ha...
tsaka, pipiliin ko talaga gen.1 crv mt... then pag nagsawa sa makina, palitan.. b20 non-vtec naman makina nun, baka magfit sa mga B18C ng ek-SIR hehehe... e MT din, AWD pa, maganda traction.. drop lang ng onti, pwede ka na sumibak din ng SIR..
Baka mangamote sila sa mga Koreano pagdating sa rektahanJ/K.
Di naman sa fanboi ako ng Korean cars ha, I used to love Japanese brands before.
Pero Korean made ang nagbigay sa akin ng satisfaction.
*Bro AY: Diba 6 M/T yung Carens mo?
SiR na yan... para may chicks ka din at sobrang bilis pag nasa highway ka. :D
Seriously, i'd get an SUV in a heartbeat. If you think a virgin SiR is rare, try finding a Nissan Safari in good condition just as well.
LOL, kahit naman yung all-stock Altis ko pinapatulan ng SiR, Vti at City (isa pa yan) pag nasa probinsya ako. :D Astigin din yung mga rezin-rezing boys dun. Pansin ko sa probinsya nga grabe yung mga razing wannabees using old Civics.
Back in college, yan yung height ng pagkauso ng SiR; guys would spend hundreds of thousands for their mods and there would be ten other guys looking the same. When i brought our A32 Cefiro to school as my daily driver pick-up was being serviced, some girls commented it was waaay better then the rezing-rezing conyo boy Civics.![]()
Basta less than 10 secs mabilis na rin. Tancha ko sa Tucson at SF nasa 8 secs lang din.
SiR kaya?![]()
nakikita ko lang naman na advantage ng sir engine is ung 7500-8000 redline... pero decent torque doesent come until 5000 rpm.. kaya from stoplight, rev hard mga honda engines na yan until magkamomentum na sila sa 2nd gear, and 3rd gear... on 4th, pwede ka na maiwan...
unless, sentra na SR16ve makina mo or AE-series w/ 4AGE-20v w/ 6MT....
personally, mahihirapan carens ko vs sa semi-tunes sir kasi sa weight, rpm, gearing factor and transmission... kung 6MT baka may chance pa..
totonohin ko muna tong carens... konti lang naman kailangan:
k&n filter oil catch can at unichip (decided na ako eto na kukunin ko, mas tunable than the rest).
optional mods:
devil's own is optional din..kung bitin.. and kung mapapagawan ng hotpipes drop pipe, install ng oil coolers, at relocate ng FMIC, mas ok...
siyempre, after this, body control and stopping power kailangan ko din i-upgrade.
try ko magparticipte sa next 0-400 event ni speedlab to have some figures.
Everyday use... hmmm.....
for me its the SUV, or a pick up.
either way, here are my points of view (no offense to SiR owners or SUV owners)
SUV or pickup: (all diesel and all chassis-on-body, no gas and monocoque, im not a fan of those)
the good:
Manly, mas macho, mas matibay, mas rugged (pwede ioffroad), mas matipid (well, depende pa rin sa suv na kukunin mo kung diesel) sa fuel, mas marami ka makakarga, pwede pang baha, mas mataas, mas safe sa vehicular accidents, mas mahal tignan.
the bad:
mas mahal maintenance (change oil, suspension parts[if kaya mong sirain, haha]), mas malaki so mas mahirap imaneuver sa singit singitan ng konti lang naman compared sa SiR, mas mahirap ng onti ipark. mas mabagal kaysa sa SiR.
SiR:
The good:
matulin for a compact car, mayabang ang dating, andami mong ka car club na lagi kayong nagyayabangan sa isat isa ng mga mods nyo tuwing nagkikita kayo, mas may dating ng rich kid racer boy, mas mura maintenance.
the bad,
di mo pwede kargahan (kasi naka "lawered ka") gf mo at ikaw lang ang makakasakay haha, hirap na hirap ka sa matataas na baha at sa mataas na humps, at ang lubak pati sobrang sakit mas lalo na pag lawered. mukhang binilhan ng parents mo ng college car.
Id take a pick up any day kahit wala akong gagamitan ng bed. anggwapo eh at practical at matibay.never understood the logic of getting a pickup or a tough 4x4 rig until i was 4th year college, well, i guess it comes with age.
decide on which you really want, then go for whatever that is. Of all things, DONT pretend that you have the best of both worlds. If you have a pickup/suv dont drive it like an SiR, youll wreck your engine and probably roll over :D :D
in the same sense sont buy an SiR and drive it off road :_)
Had an SiR once, Crashed it 4 times, hahaha
one thing i notice about some honda boys though (no offense to anyone) their MODS and their HONDA'S control their attitude and their yabang. Their self identity disappears into their car.
hope this helps, cheers!
Kung sa ganyan price range bili na lang suzuki celerio or hyundai eon.
Ako napapaisip sa celerio ang cutie-cutie tapos ang liit pa dali ipark at malaki possibility na 15kms per liter city driving.
HRV ang solusyon diyan, salpakan mo makina ng SIR..you get half of both worlds..in theory
ang bilis ng thread...parang SIR...:rofl:
SIR FTW! rare na classic pa, for keeps pa,,saan ka pa?
Was actually an SiR fan when it first came out. Pocket rocket nga naman, OEM pa. The 'magic' wore off when I got to ride my friend's bonestock SiR. Wasn't much of a difference from the MT '06 VTi that my Mom had. Perhaps faster, but not that much. Chick magnet? Maybe a bit... when it was first introduced. Not that many options then though.
Between the SiR and CR-V, for flood prone locations, I'd go with the SUV. It's not as frugal, but it'll save me when I need some ride height. Chick magnet?!
Throwing the 3.0L Camry into the picture, hands down, that's where my vote will go. Sure, I'm biased. I own the same model car but with a 2.0L engine. Mine's no rocket but the 3.0L will be much faster, plus it's spacious and comfortable, save for the wagon type rear of the SUV, it's got room for cargo! Though it's not as much a looker as the current bodied Camry, slap on some sportier 18s, lower a bit and to my mature tastes it'll look better than your SiR. Chick magnet?!
Bro AY hindi makakahabol yung AE na naka-4AGE 6MT kapag acceleration. Alat ng acceleration ng 4AGEs. Sa rektahan malamang susundot yan sa SiR. Ewan ko lang sa mga naka-Sentra. Pero ang alam ko ha, yung kotse ni uls before -- Lancer Itlog -- sumisibak ng SiR yun. :hysterical:
May ricer din na Camry, huh. Sa GH yan nagkalat, boom boom sounds rev ng rev parang inutil. :rofl01:
Pero yun nga, gastos ka 200k sa SiR mo dalhin mo sa GEB ng HCP/JDMU etc. etc. for sure may kamukha ka pa rin. Hahahaha.
chick magnet nga yung SiR. nung 1999.hehehe
feeling ko ok lang ito ngayon kung tipong college boy ka na 18-21. tipong na-mana mo sa kuya mo or dad mo. pag may trabaho ka na at umaasenso ka na sa buhay, ang juvenile na ng dating ng SiR. gumigimik ka sa timog, hindi sa skye. may chicks ka nga, pero dancer ni willie, hindi si anne curtis.
kung SUV, at least kahit na luma na, mas mature at proper ang dating. mas comfortable at utilitarian. at hindi ka masyadong ma-stereotype.
Grabe ang bilis ng thread na to parang yung Kop*l thread haha Ako I'll get an SUV i.e. jimny, luma na ang SIR sir, malamang kalawangin na chasis niyan at madami ka pang papalitan. Pag nagumpisa pa naman ang kalawang wala ka na magagawa latero na lang which will cost thousands to repair. Prone pa ang rear fender sa kalawang. Hindi din pala ganun ka ganda ang ang daan sa espana lalo na yung riles ng tren doon ang sakit sa suspension! Hindi ka din makakatakbo ng mabilis.
kuha ka muna ng matipid ang reliable na daily rig then pag nakaipon na get a project car!
