tanong ko lang, pwede kaya ang kia carb sa lx carb natin? tipid daw kasi ang kia carb.na search ko dito na yung terrano at L300, ngpalit ng carb at nilagay ang kia carb, mga 14-16km/L nung pinatakbo na. wala naman daw naging problema.

pwede kaya sa civic lx carb yung kia carb?

hi guys nice to see some LX owners here. mejo mahirap na ba maghanap ng carb? kasi my brother have an LX din and he doesnt have problems with consumption. i think it all depends on your driving style. last time i used it from tarlac to bataan it cost me around P300 lang. steady driving and normal acceleration lang.

maraming surplus naman sa banawe na carb. mga ilang kilometer per liter yung tarlac to bataan? panong tune up ang ginawa ng kapatid mo sa carb? baka makakuha kami ng idea para patipirin ang lx namin dito. sakin mga 7-8km/L city driving. gusto ko sanang gawing 10km/L. early shifting ginagawa ko. basta naramdaman kong humatak ang kotse,change gear na kagad ako. dahang dahang tapak lang ginagawa ko sa accelerator.

ano oil ginamit ng kapatid mo sa lx nya? any additives?

im not sure menggoy parang nasa 110 to 115 km ang tarlac to bataan actually malapit lang yun kasi may SCTEX, best one i did was around 17 to 18km/l. but that was a "budget run". no aircon, and im keeping it bellow 2500 rpm lang and for long travel i make sure tire pressure is a little above recommended para low rolling resistance. as for the engine, nothing special, its been with the family kasi since 1995, my father brought it brand new. kaya naalagaan sa check up. di sha laspag kasi 2nd car lang sha. they cant sell the car kasi sobrang tipid. i cant match the consumption with my esi kahit ano gawin ko.

17-18km/L sa highway driving?! ang lupet naman nun. there something in your car. sumasabay sa honda jazz. sa inyo lang na lx car ang naringgan ko ng ganyang fuel consumption. might as well keep that car. its a rare one. efi engine does 10km/L on city driving and 12-13km/L on highway. nakakainggit yang kotse mo. sana maging ganyan din samin.

ilang tire pressure nilalagay mo?
kind of oil youre using on lx?
additives?
stock engine and carb?

hope you can answer my questions para rin sa ibang lx owners dito. konti na lang kasi tayo kaya tayo tayo nalang magtutulungan.

depends on your tire sir. or look at the tire pressure indicated sa driverside door mo. then add 1 or 2 psi. im not recommending ha, but if you think about it, having a right tire pressure (in my case a little bit more) would decrease the rolling resistance of your tires. bone stock ang engine nya kasi extra car lang sha so its useless to upgrade it. kaya im stressing out the rolling resistance kasi ganito ginagawa ko. on the expressway, you speed up constantly changing gears within 2.5k to 3k rpms. there will be a point where your in the 5th gear ad youll be around 100 to 110kmh and your rpm will be near 3k rpm then i go to neutral. yes neutral. and coast until im gonna reach 80kmh. then i shift to gear and steadily accelerate and reach 110kmh again. so it depends on your driving style talaga. and cguro sa type of roads you are driving at.

i know its boring and youll stay at the right side of the express way while people on your left pass you by. but eventually dadating ka rin naman sa pupuntahan mo and youll not feel like nag sunog ka ng pera dahil if youll look at the fuel gauge youll be satisfied.

changing gears within 2.5k to 3k rpms.

parang pag ginawa ko to sa lx ko, ubos kagad ang gas ko. ginagawa ko early shifting. 1k-1.5k rpm, basta humatak na kotse, shift gear na ko. minsan nga try ko 2.5k rpm bago ako magshift. ah sir, oil na ginagamit sa lx nyo? 10w40 ba? tire pressure ko ginagawa kong 33psi, 17inch rims and 215/14/17 ang gulong. yung sa inyo?

**pacs908** · September 25th, 2011 12:06 PM

Wow nice! naka 17 ang lx mo? di ba matagtag? i have a d15b engined esi naka 15 inch. gusto ko sana mga 17 but not sure baka kasi matagtag. anyway, as for the lx, stock rims lang sha. yung 13 inch rims and tires. as for the oil, ang alam ko last time na nag pachage oil sila castrol gtx, i believe 10w40 yun.

pano ba yung matagtag? yung parang kahit deretso ang daan e parang bako bako dinadaanan mo? hindi naman. kaso naka low profile 45 series ang gulong kaya konting bako lang, medyo ramdam mo. tpos lowered sa harap, my konting gap lang sa fender. pagtitingnan mo nga kala mo syad na eh.

13 inch pala yung malupet na lx nyo, kaya pala very fuel efficient. pagkakaalam ko "bigger tires, big fuel consumption" kaya siguro 7-8km lang ang fuel consumption ko (city driving). stay ka na lang sa 15inch. baka pag nag 17 ka, magulat ka nalang kasi bababa fuel consumption mo. maporma rin ang 15, tapos lowered yung harap pero di naman masyado, yung tama lang.

try ko mag 10w40 next time. baka gumanda ang fuel consumption ko.

sa mga naka lx civic dyan, share naman po kayo about sa kotse natin. lalo na sa pang fuel economy.
umpisahan ko na,

nagtanggal ako ng extra pabigat sa kotse, tulad ng hydrolic na hindi ko nagamit nung naFLATtan ako (lowered kasi,eto yung gray na tatak dub na tig P899), iniwan ko lang yung dating jack ko na di ikot. from 7km/L to 10km/L. nagpagas kasi ako ng P200, umabot ng 35km/L, city driving ( dahan dahan lang sa pagtapak ng accelerator tpos nasa correct psi ang gulong, saking ginawa kong 33 psi. 17 inch rim, 215/45/17 ang gulong).

nagbabalak rin akong i fiberglass ang hood para makabawas ng bigat. diy lang ang gagawin ko. pag sinipag ako tsaka ko uumpisahan.
