low maintenance pa ang FX.

Yup. And kung gwapings naman pag bumaba ka di nakakahiya hehe. Pero mas ok yata if pang-negosyo na lang to (ie. transporter of goods, pasada)

Just sold my FX 1998 diesel engine last february.. for 190K! Red mica in two tone at pormado na... I used it for more than 5 years(Bought it 2nd hand in 2001). ang masasabi ko....

! Most of the time, DIY lang lahat ang maintenance ko(If my time permits). Very reliable car... Hindi naman cya hulihin sa kalye... dahil siguro pormado! I sold it coz i need to have a presentable car for my new job!

! Minsan kasi pinapara eh!! Pumili ka lang ng maayos pa ang makina.....

Naalala ko dati. Matrafic sa Monumento nakatigil FX ng friend ko may sumakay bigla at nagbayad. Sabi "Ma Recto lang"

But really. The FX is truly a reliable vehicle. 3 of my friends have FX. 2 gas and 1 diesel. Yung mga unang FX pag matagal na mahirap nang umahon pag uphill na 50 passengers lang (gas). Yung friend ko sa CEU dati kulay ref naka set up pa.

basta pag FX ka, be ready ka parakin ng mga buwaya sa daan.... colorum-->pumapasa na walang frankisa....or green plate ika nga...

other than that, is a nice ride din naman,e....

**saintmichel** · May 11th, 2007 11:35 AM

ah yun rin pala prob nun noh.. okey so in terms of interior convenience may mga lets say power windows ba un?

**alwayz_yummy** · May 11th, 2007 10:05 PM

power windows--> sa front lang, ung nabibiling aftermarket na sinasalpak sa siding na buo... pero alam nyu ba may limited run/models na may factory-installed power windows!

interior convinience, kung stock, try to ride on those FX-mega taxis. pero mura lang naman ang surplus seats sa banawe, kunin mo yung seats na nakakabit sa 4runner/hilux-surf or AE101/sprinter/ recaros sa first row...then captain seats na galing sa town/master ace/delica or seats from hi-ace for the second row.... last row, retain mo yung orig side facing orget the 3rd row of the lite/master/townace-ace--> front facing na side folding...

kung maganda at makinis naman ang FX mo di ka naman siguro basta-basta paparahin, lalo na kung original "green"/private plate (usually T ang simula nun, not P)

**saintmichel** · May 12th, 2007 10:29 AM

ah! may after market palang installable na pwoer windows? e bakt bawal ung likod?

cool sige mmmmm ano pa ba magndang itanong..from what i've been reading avanza ung pamalit ng toyota sa fx ryt?

**bosstl** · May 12th, 2007 03:36 PM

sir, yung tamaraw FX as i know is one of the pioneer passenger AUV here in our country, so in most cases, it lacks the usual power amenities na meron ngayon sa mga current models ng AUV.basically yung FX kasi was designed to haul passengers. very crude yung design, somewhat an experimentation of incorporating the seating arrangement of an SUV to a smaller body of an AUV. pero it serves its purpose, kaya nag-click sa atin.

in terms of maintenance, ang sakit sa ulo lang naman ng FX e yung makina. initially, nakasalpak sa kanya e 5k. this is a small engine for its body size. kaya malakas sa gas. kaya pinalitan nila ng 7K. lumakas nga sa torque, pero malakas pa rin sa gas. hahaha. about their diesel engines... one word. panget. bad rep ang 2C. kung papa-overhaul ka rin lang nito, better kung magpalit ka na lang ng makina (and as for my case, nagpalit ako ng 4AGE). another member also had his engine to 4AGE. si EssB.

i think i have some pics of some mods i made sa FX namin. hmmm... try nyo po tingin dito... www.cardomain.com/id/bosstl
