Honda Odyssey

**junkie** · November 17th, 2006 08:45 PM

honestly i would really stay away from converted cars, but the odyssey really does make me think twice. why?

1.) opposed wipers are a plus, di na kelangan ilipat iyong wipers, plus sure ka na may mabibili kang wiper arms and blades for it since opposed wipers naman ang 1st gen odyssey everywhere.

2.) like what's been posted, parehas na parehas ng pang-ilalim ng accord, including engine (F22). so no problems with sourcing out parts.

3.) dashboard is pretty straightforward. lipat mo lang iyong gauge cluster sa kaliwa (AFAIK may pipingasin lang na tenga but otherwise it bolts on), fabricate a parcel tray dun sa pinagtanggalan nung gauges, lipat manibela at iyong mga surrounding plastics, that's it. symmetrical ang dashboard niya. take a closer look at the A/C controls, pang Civic EG ang controls

4.) iyong iba nalilipat na iyong shifter sa kanan . i don't know how they're doing this, but just in case na gusto mo pulido ang conversion the CR-V steering column is a perfect fit. parehas lang kasi sila.

5.) 4 door kaya parang kotse na rin ang dating.

this one's the lesser evil of 'em all JDM cars

basta maayos at walang shortcut sa conversion.

included din mga JDM vans na 4-door, mazda MPV, spacewagons(chariot), chariot-grandis...

and mayrong nakalusot na 1999 nissan serena na may YD25, matic(kamukha nung local, pero YD25-diesel matic ang laman!) > http://www.ebay.ph/viItem?ItemId=200046125056

at 1999 previa 3.0 v6(paero nung pinalitang model, pero may power sliding at v6!)!

Nakita ko sa ads nasa Php470k pa din ang local unit na '97 model.

so, otep, ok na yong kuha ko na 445k! saka lahat ng nakakita sabi mura na daw kasi nga sariwang sariwa pa. mukha nga daw brand new kung hindi lang syempre iba nag itsura sa mga bagong CRDi models.

tuwang tuwa utol ko, nong sinabi ko kasi initially na odyssey kukunin ko, medyo di sya ganon kaexcited, pero nong nakita nya starex di na kumakain, nasa sasakyan na lang.

taka lang ako kung bakit 36k lang ang odometer, pero 1997 sya. na-aadjust ba to?

yup i know there are other vans out there na four door. but then again, asymmetrical na iyong mga dashboard nila so you need to cut the dash etc.

not unlike the odyssey wherein halos underdash lang ang reretokehin.

why not spacegear?? eto wala ka nang iisipin pa:

gagamitin mo nalang yan...masmadali pa ang piyesa at manual tranny pa..benta lang nya kasi nakakuha siya ng 1997 model na JDM 4x2 m/t spacegear din..ung kamukha ng unang labas ng local spacegear sa atin.

ody, medyo nag 5-8km/L, ang spacegear na yan, 6-10 naman, pero ang difference is ung fuel cost, plus masmaluwag pa kaysa sa friendee or ody.

kung gas talaga preference mo, ODY ka. ako personally gusto ko siya. pero practicality, ang price ng friendee, di nalalayo sa spacegear..

kaya in short, spacegear na! engine sa harap talaga, walk-tru config inside, capt seats yan, and much-much smarter ang folding ng seats nito, flat foldable at pwedeng iikot...

ang friendee hindi stowable, flat-fold lang..

kung 4wd habol mo: may eemail ako sayo mga 310 lang din, maganda din, binebenta lang dahil kailangan sa business...

salamat alwayz_yummy for a very nice comparison.

di ako masyado madunong sa mga sasakyan. question, mas preferable ba ang manual tranny? di ba mas convenient ang automotic? saka gas ba yung sa space gear and ody?

**alwayz_yummy** · November 20th, 2006 09:39 AM

ang ody 2.0 2.2 at v6 3.0 gas and matic lang, ang space gear 2.8intercooler turbo at 3.0 v6-gas manual at matic.

manual for long-term at fuel efficiency, matic,especially used rides, risky lalo na di mo alam ang history ng sasakyan. learned my lessons hardway, pero yup its convinient talaga pero additional cost pag nasira.

pag nag sliding:

manual: palit clutch disk, pressure plate at release bearing.
automatic: OVERHAUL or palit surplus uilt hantay ulit magsliding, palit ulit ng buong A/T unit...

pag ody, just stick to FF(front wheel drive) models para madaming parts source ka.

pag spacegear, 4x2, best kung manual, matic kung 4x4, pero manual meron din.
