Any car audio shop who installs subwoofers can do this. I might request they use 1/8 plywood though to save on weight.

Pwede kaya irequest na pintahan nila ng NOS blue yung tank before ikabit hehehe, tapos pagawa nalang ng NOS sticker :P

Also, may magbubukas ng LPG conversion shop din sa tabi ng shop namin (Big Bert's sa Ortigas), mahal ng quote nila 50K daw sa EFI...

Tech question after reading chuaed's post.

Magkaiba ba ang pag tune up sa converted cars? I wouldn't trust them to fiddle with my car kung mano-mano lang napaka sensitibo ng mga sensors ng Nissan eh... Di naman sa maarte pero mahirap na kung may madali sa "normal" na tuneup.

hindi ko pa nasubukan magpatune up sa naiadss, tuning/adjustment sa appliance nila (mixer and vaporizer) lang ang ginalaw nila... tune up ako kung saan ko binili iyun kotse ko... chevy libis...

before i think okay lang pero sa ngayon pansin ko dami na nagpapakabit, malamang ikaw na mag pinta bago kabitan, bili ka nalang ng sandpaper and quickdry spray paint na gusto mo kulay... suggest para mukha NOS iyun slim/small tank lang kunin mo...

you are right thats my car indeed.

nag simula monday yung installation tuesday ng hapon ko lang nakuha, they had a hard time installing my civic kasi hindi sanay sila sa mga private cars puros taxi pero madami din mga private car na nag papainstall dun may cefiro at lincoln ako nakasabay din.

my only complain is it seems nasira ng mga koreano yung ignition coil ko when they were cranking up my car nung monday (sobrang cranking) they claimed talaga sira na daw ( i doubt this)

The next day( tuesday) i got a call from the girl weng, and told me they spent 6,500 pesos( second hand) for an ignition coil daw kesyo original daw from evangelista street makati etc... but i learned my lesson na told them i never authorized them to buy 6,500 pesos na ignition coil, so i went to Multi-line banawe and bought for 2,400 pesos an OEM ignition coil.

muntik na ako maisahan ng mga loko. ( madami talagang vultures dito sa mundo na ito) tsk tsk

pero in fairness to them the LPG system is functioning well so far, i will evaluate it and post the km/liter reading

**ILuvDetailing** · July 27th, 2006 11:24 AM

**tiger_dud** · July 27th, 2006 11:27 AM

i think hindi mo dapat iniwan iyun kotse mo... dahil sa akin binantayan ko iyun pagkagawa nila sa kotse ko kahit inabot na ng gabi... sa totoo lang nahirapan din sila sa pag kabit sa kotse ko... nun kinabit nila na mixer sa akin nun una eh may crack nga kung hindi ko nabantayan eh nakalusot na sila... napuna ko talaga... pati pag lagay sa tank sa likod ayaw ko iyun maghula sila then butas ng butas... talaga hindi ko sila tinantanan... i'm sure sila ang nakasira sa ignition coil mo dapat ipaglaban mo... sad to say wala ka kasi doon nun ginagawa nila kaya they say na sira na talaga iyan nun dumating ka doon...

isa pa totoo ito dahil nakita ko, isang taxi na witness ko kakatapos na kabitan ng lpg sa car niya pag start ng sasakyan umusok at nasunog lahat ng electrical niya as in sunog talaga nagbabaga pa nga iyun mga wirings... hindi ko na alam iyun details regarding doon pero kung akin iyun kotse naku maghuhuramentado ako niyan...

okay naman sila with regards to lpg installation, whag lang iwan talaga bantayan ang pag gawa. remember hindi sila kasa... parang talyer lang nga sila....

saan ka makakita na "NO SMOKING" tapos mga employee, manager, at mga koreano naninigariyo habang ginagawa nila iyun installation... i don't know if you notice it... iyun lang...

**theveed** · July 28th, 2006 01:30 PM

Sablay mga tauhan nila grabe... Another case of LPG getting a bad name due to bad installs

actually andun ako pero inabot na ng gabi at may bagyo nung monday so i was forced to take a taxi home kasi hindi nila ma paandar ang kotse ko but they were cranking my car like crazy i told them not too much baka masira ayun na sira na nga.

nung kinakabit din ang tank sa trunk ko hula system ang ginawa nga and nahirapan nga sila ikabit dahil nga yung esi maliit ang trunk space hindi na nga magkasya ang spare tire ko so i have to get a donut tire para mas maliit at mailagay sa loob ng kotse. Pansinin mo ang bibilis nila magkabit ng TOyota Corolla na kotse pero kapag ibang brand parang hirap na hirap.

Btw kilala ka ni ryan angeles

ano ginamit mo pag dikit ng fuel gauge mo?
I did not allow them to drill a hole in my dashboard i wanted to use a 3m double sided tape and stick the digital fuel gauge

they put a double sided tape na free sa mga air freshener ( as a result tanggal agad)

ang mahal naman ng 3m double sided tape kasi you have to buy a whole roll na worth mga 300 pesos e ang kelangan ko lang naman is the a one inch by one inch double sided tape. saan kaya makakahingi ng 3 m double sided tape ahhaha maski 1 inch by 1 inch lang

for me in my case, nag hands on din ako, tapos tanong ng tanong... binantayan ko every step of the way...

mabilis sila sa toyota corolla kasi iyun palagi kinakabitan nila at iyun tank bracket na fabricate na nila exact sa ganoon na kotse kaya mabilis...

yeah kilala ako ni Mr. Angeles, pero late na after nakabitan na ng autogas ang car ko... snob kasi niya ako nun nag inquire ako... anyway mabait naman siya eh...

sa akin kasi hindi ko kinabit sa dashboard ang switch/gauge dahil ayaw ko rin ma baboy eh... may picture ako na post before kung saan ko pinalagay iyun switch check mo nalang... binutasan nila iyun sa akin...

ill just have to wait and see and post the readings when my LPG tank goes empty.
