Una po, how much po yung budget niyo?
Second, yup oo pwede ka magdala ng mekaniko with you when choosing a car.
Third, if you're going to get the vti-s what year model do you plan to get? 01, 04, 05 etc?
Fourth, I also suggest that when you just got the car have it checked immedieately the engine, etc. before you install mods
Fifth, If you wont mind the FC get the vti-s but let me just remind you it's 2.0 and the SIR is 1.6
1. Budget: max 480 k at may 25 k na me reserve for minor repairs & upgrades.
2. I plan to get a 2.0 VTI-s, kasi parang mas oki ang performance. balak ko kasi kumuha ng 2nd car na pang japorms lng at pang sunday driving. Need your suggestion for other options. Is the VTI-s 2.0 is better than the 1.8 performance wise?
3. Di kasi me medyo nakakakita na cool at aggressive look na VTI-s 2.0 dito sa amin pero mga honda SIR ay marami. Kaya di ko pa naapreciate yun stock looks na VTI-s.....sa ngayo SIR looks more japorms as I have seen many different mods have done in our area (cavite & laguna area me) not sure kung meron din pero seldom ako makakita ng japorms)
4. Is the aftermarket parts for an SIR is more/cheaper than VTI-s. not been a good in price hunting kahit pumupunta me sa Banawe QC.
5. Not sure i the VTI-s 2.0 & 1.8 has the manual transmissions. wala pa me nababasa kasi. Hmmm very concerned din kasi may recall din daw sa mga VTI-s regarding fuel tanks/solenoids (not sure)
5. Generally give some advise which is better to lower (SIR or VTI-s) .. I am planning to go lower....deep talaga 2" or more....I planning to save money to buy TEIN for street looks lng....not going to circuit races...
