okay ang styling ng estima, medyo egg-shape din, looks like cross between old previa and largo.

how much ba mga ganyan ngayon, di ba mahirap parts?

[carlocaraddict]

I just like the name.

[caloyski5]

diba previa din yan? so parts should be the same with previa....yata, and can be serviced in your nearest toyota casa..yata hihihi

[pparado]

oo nga po, ser ross....magkano po ang ganyan these days? mukha ngang maganda for the family e!

I have a Gen1 Paj (import din) that will soon undergo rehab with jga22bo....

yup Previa din ito but the Old Previa.Ang name Previa dito sa Pnas but in japan its AERAS Estima and sa US,Aus.,Can. i heard its Estima meron din mga model na lumabas like EMINA,LUCIDA nag kaiba sila sa dashboard, headlight(naging singkit),the body naging ***y ang estima kc macho ang body i mean mataba (hehehe tulad ko).
About the service from casa nag tanong narin po ako kay Sir Marantz pero sabi nya di raw nag se service ang casa ng Toyota kung ang oto ay galing ng Subic Auction unless ikaw ang mismo ang nagdala ng car dto sa pnas at ikaw ang nag pa convert.

hi Ross,

we got the same ride, at least for my parents. eto yung driving impression ko sa kanya.

* acceleration; okay for an automatic so alittle slow.
* cruising: yes this thing is built for that,
* engine: alittle noisy during acceleration but it settles down
quite a bit once u picked up steam.
* interior: oh yes, this thing has got everything, u know its
really much higher quality compared with Revo or other
AUV's.


Known problems:
- brakes: bumababa sya, very dangerous. then we had it
replace the Brake Cylinder Master kit fm. FX. but
somehow still doesn't feel right. and seems like
Toyota Casa say its different fm. the locally sold one.

- A/C: it seems to overheat when continuosly used. anybody
knows of a good shop that can deal with JPN imports?


OverAll: its really a Toyota, well built vehicle. at walang kalampag even having 180,000km on the odometer. Still running very strong. But the dashboard lights and headlights could need some brightening up.

Can anyone recommend me those above fixes?

Parakito,
You might need a bigger brake master cylinder.
A/C: you have to see what was the conversion done to it muna, it may need a bigger radiator or it may be something else.

We can take a closer look at it at our shop if you want.
