Van that fell off Kennon

[OTEP]

I was looking at the pictures and it was one of those convered 4WD Toyota vans.

May relasyon kaya ang pagiging converted not to the accident itself?

[IceColdBeer]

Di ko alam, but naaawa ako dun sa mga namatay lalo na yung babaeng two months preggy.

[mazdamazda]

marami rami na rin akong nakikitang ganyan sa philstar... yan lagi kong tinitingnan, kung converted or hindi...

ang latest kong nakita is van rin, converted as usual, lost control... slammed into a post

its pretty safe to conclude that there is a relation with being a converted vehicle to the accident itself.

[FrankDrebin]

Yung 4wd na Delica?

tsk tsk tsk

sa pangalan na lang delikado na.

[HBOY]

hahaha.....


pero nakakaawa nga talaga... kaya hirap din mamili sa subic for converted vehicles.. parang mas gugustuhin ko pa na bumili na lang ng right hand drive, and ako na lang ang gagastos for the conversion, than buying one that is already converted. Di mo kasi alam kung paano nila kinonvert yun eh.. mamaya dyan may mga short cuts na ginawa o baka naman mahina ang pagkakaweld ng mga parts or whatnots.... ehehehe

[kimpOy]

sabi ko na nga ba eh!!!!

nung sinabi sa radio
X ang plate number nag duda na ako!!!


auction van nga !

[RedHorse]

sa plate palang na X, then ang model ay lite ace, mukhang tumpak na converted nga.

Pero, bakit yong mga passenger jeepney, wala namang ganitong kaso, samantalang pareho lang silang mga converted? (We used to have 2 of these)

[jojoico]

syet, we're planning to buy pa naman a 2-dr pajero sa subic! hwag nalang ata.

[benny010]

baka di rin naman sa converted... sabi kasi ng driver nakaidlip daw cya...
:roll:

[newkidontheblock]

sabi naman sa reports mechanical defect daw,cguro may relasyon nga sa pagiging converted.

nahulog ata yung van few meters away from the lion's head ang hirap naman talaga dun sa part na yun pa kurba na pataas. (yung nasa commercial ng petron diesel max) tapos sakto pa nawalan na ng control yung van.

[HBOY]

hmm... nabuhay ang driver?. ano yun?. tumalon nung nalaglag yung van?

[ephraim]

siguro mataas ang center ng gravity ng van.. it's 4WD right?

[HBOY]

if its the delica.. mataas yan.. 4wd, lifted van with A/T tires....

EDIT PART:

my bad.. toyota vans pala.. ehehhe

[Jj]

I think it was a toyota. because i was looking at the mags and it resembled the one i see in school and the van was a toyota town ace or Liteace.

It says in one of the news papare that the driver fell a sleep ithink?

[RedHorse]

Mahirap yatang maniwala na nakatulog ang driver,

mostly aantukin ka sa straights, but not on curves.

[nonie]

Mukhang converted town ace yung nahulog sa ravine......Talagang peste sa kalye ang mga sasakyang ganyan.....Ang talagang kina-aasaran ko ay yung mga Pesteng Hyundai Grace na nagkalat sa kalye. Harurot palagi..swerve dito/swerve doon! Obserbahan nyo anytime may counterflow ay nanduon ang mga sasakyang ito.....Muntik na akong makabangga last sunday sa Zapote rd ng ganitong sasakyan.

We dont know what really happend, sabi nga sa news na iaantok ang driver.

There are good and lemon convertions.

Sa mga gusto ng auction or converted cars, if you want to be sure have it converted using all original parts, kung pang pajero pang pajero dapat.

Yung mga nag coconvert sa subic mostly use parts what ever is available at match, hindi sila brand specific, like toyota rack & pinion on a honda, Isuzu steering box on Pajero.

Meron rin mga rack & pinion na RHD na pwede gamitin pag convert nila sa LHD.

Kaya nag kakaroon cut & weld sa parts para ma adopt.

Since you all know na converted, its better to have it checked by your mechanic or if you buy 1 bring it back to its original LHD spec.

Ang maganda lang medyo mura nga naman sila, kung iisipin mo maintained naman ng mga hapon kotse nila since mas strict ang car inspections sa japan to have it registered.

Ako lahat ng units binebenta ko brand specific and all brake lines that need to be converted are all replaced.

nonie - Ang problema mo is the drivers of the car, not the car it self.

The way I see it 60% driver error, 20% caused by another motorist (ikaw binangga) 10% freak (iniwasan ang lubak, bato, tumatawid, may nakitang white lady, etc.) and 10% vehicle/part failure.

[ghosthunter]

The news report said the driver fell asleep before the accident.
