best model for an SiR replica...

[drew_5950]

if you want to take care of your SiR... the first step is to check all the engine parts... primarily the valve cover gasket then just make sure that you have regular change oil and tune up, usual naman na change ka some parts kasi luma na model... baka water pump timing belt and lahat ng fan belt palit for pms... just check stab link nad trailing arm busing baka may crack na... usual yan sa ek... use the 555 brand para ok.

Sir archie, tanong ko lang, i have an SIR at pinatignan ko sa CASA, kailangan daw palitan ng trailing arm bushing. saan ba tayo makakuha ng mura neto?Eto yung nasa rear wheel noh? at ano yung 555 brand? sorry just starting to learn about cars palang..

yup trailing arm is yung sa rear na mahabang bakal...

naku, dont put your car maintenance sa casa kung wala ka na sa waranty, sobrang taga diyan. if you want to get it cheap lang, yung sa HRC banawe, orig benta nila then may replacements din sila if namamahalan ka. yung 555 brand replacement yun, ok yun kasi ang bilis masira ng orig (in my experience). sulit pa kasi mas mura sa orig.

pakabit mo na lang motorcraft or m7 which ever is cheaper.

i agree with this. 555 brand is better than federal brand and other 3rd party replacements. Medyo mas mataas nga lang presyo ng konti vs the others. And medyo mahirap nga din hanapin minsan. Sa supplier ko dito sa cainta, madalas out of stock. Pero sulit paghahanap mo or pag-antay ng stock when you get one.

maraming salamat mga sir.. yung trailing arm bushing, iisa lang ba kailangan or pair na ba yun for both sides sa rear? at saan po ba banda yung HRC sa banawe? malapit lang ba sa M7?

usually sa trailing arm both yung crack kagad. i would prefer to change both kahit ok pa yung isa kasi hindi na pantay yung wear and tear niya. baka after ilang months palit ka na naman.

HRC is near banawe corner e rod if your coming from q.ave banawe, straight lang. kung makita mo yung children's medical center lapit ka na. its to your right. if you reach corner ng e rod lagpas ka na.

heres their contact number 7120303. tanong muna bago punta... hehehe


good luck sir, its true na scare ang supply ng 555 pero sulit kung makakuha ka.

hmm if thats the case then you should try to test drive all the models para makita mo whats right for you.

a few hints lang sa problem ng ek...

yung aircon releases foam like things lalo na kung bagong linis. nakakapuwing kung tamaan ka. hehehe

solution: full blower mo yung aircon then vacum it out.

water getting in the sa trunk, pero can be resolved naman DIY lang

solution: hanapin kung saan nanggagaling then epoxy kung sa may antenna pero kung sa tail light kahit strong tape lang puwde na.

pangilalim, medyo magastos... lalo na stab link and trailing arm bushing.

solution: get the replacement (555 brand) na lang mas mura or fabricate (mas tatagal daw)

slow or stuck up power windows sa likod

solution: wd40 hehehe

other than these wala na ko prob sa ek ko... exellent choice of car, for me this is the best model ng civic that came out. good luck sir!

Ngayon lang ako napadpad sa Honda Talk ah. Well, anyway, sa TS, an SiR is one of the best cars realeased in the Philippines. Sleek, Fast and roomy (for 4 people) but then Maintenance would be ALMOST the same with the VTi version. Since it's DOHC, Timing belt would be expensive and you have and Idler bearing not like the SOHC engines. Another thing would be fuel consumption. Don't go to the VTEC range because it will drink gas like coke then burp on you like hell. Maintain at power band RPM's and you'll be fine. Also, reagarding the under chassis things, just bring it to someone like cruven or zee. They'll know what to do if you don't have the money to burn on replacements.

Also an advice would be, dress up the car nicely. Don't go too much on aesthetics as it makes the SiR ricey.
