Thanks for the replies pcuerpo and sabawballs.. I like cleaning my car, the only problem is we don't have a garage. I usually wake up very early in the morning and go to my gf's or tito's house to clean my car. Yun lang mejo istorbo ako sa pag tulog nila. Follow up question mga sir, what's a wax cleaner? what I only have are the common and the liquid turtle wax and the collinite from sir Bayen.

what specific turtle wax? if yan yung green bottle, i'd stay away from them.. AFAIK abrasive kasi siya. Better use the collinite nalang or kahit yung mga carnauba waxes.The collinite, if that's the 476. is a very durable wax and you don't need to apply it every time.. A good 1s or 2s a month is enough depending on the weather conditions.

Cleaner wax yung pantangal ng mga libag libag.. but better to apply sealants after.

if you dont have a garage, even more need for a durable wax. collinite 476 will suffice your need. last cleaner wax i've used is the one from mothers. the one in the can. may cleaning properties sha.

i've never been a fan of the turtle wax, its to damn difficult to buff. and i have to agree with sabawballs, abbrasive nga sya.

guys,

anyone experience ung amoy patis/suka/sunog after opening your hood? kanina kasi may weird odor pag pop ko ng hood... parang galing sya sa break reservoir/battery area..

drove from makati to qc mga 1hr and 30 mins.. everyday naman ganito kaso ngayon lang ung smell..

Hi mga GE lovers, may nakapaginstall na ba sa inyo ng chambered mufflers? If meron, anung maganda brands? Thanks in advance!

bolt-on? only ones i know are GReddy Spectrum Elite and 5Zigen ProRacer ZZ, which are both very very very very very hard to find unless you order them... i'd suggest to just get a universal muffler na chambered then pagawa ka na lang ng pipes to make it bolt-on, cheaper pa lalabas ;)

[jave]

Have to take note re: most universal mufflers, most of them will not fit the GE due to suspension of right rear tire getting in the way. Unless you want the muffler to hug the ground,

Tried it with Greddy Spectrum Elite in the past. Had to return it because of said issue.

Mag free flow ka nalang boss, mas madaming pagpipilian.

Boss masyadong mataba yung greddy spectrum elite e. Anu na muffler nyo ngayon?

[jave]

*Troy:

Blitz Nur Spec.

Ngayon ko lang narinig yan boss. May pics ka ng GE mo na kita yung muffler mo?

[jave]

I have no pics but the Blitz JP website does.

really? I really wanted to get a Greddy SE so bad, good to hear. If I remember correctly pcuerpo also had an issue with his Greddy SE not sure exactly what it was. I guess I'll be sticking with my HKS N1 or go back to stock.

[jave]

*krm:

Yeah. At least for the universal version, the one with the big chamber. I think Greddy makes a version designed for the GE but don't quote me on that, not 100% sure.

I found out the hard way when I took it to HP Racing to have them fabricate the pipes. They said it was practically impossible unless they were to shoehorn it and I was ok with it looking "unnatural".

Good thing I bought the muffler the same day and seller agreed to refund me on that.

[sabawballs]

AFAIK the Greddy SE of pcuerpo is specifically designed for GE..

[jave]

*krm:

There you go, ask pcuerpo for details. :D

Yeah, i don't want to ask him and taunt myself lol! I'll stick with my HKS/stock :p

In the case of Motul HTech 100 10w40, here is its Spec
1) TBN = 7.6
2) ZDDP = 800 PPM (parts per million)
3) Price: 500 per liter

sir thanks for the info.

nag-research ako ng konti tungkol sa zddp at ang epekto nito sa mga catalytic converters. ang current API standard for safe zddp levels para sa mga modern catalytic converters ay 800ppm.

eto ung mga related articles na nahanap ko

so ang tanong ay ano ba talaga ang safe na zddp levels para sa mga modern catalytic conveters? 800ppm or 1200pm?

thanks sir. that was a nice read.

anyway, i checked the manual of our GEs and its minimun requirement for engine oil is API-SL so i think zddp levels of 1200ppm is safe for our catalytic converters.

jave, nice muffler! alam ko mahal din yan ah

Mike, medyo malaki nga yung Spectrum Elite, tumatama yung body niya sa gas tank sa ilalim pag sobrang naaalog... pero meron ginawa Autoplus, sobrang stiff niya ngayon kaya di na umaalog muffler ko at tumatama

best bet would be to get N1 mufflers, at least maliit yung body niya, you dont have to worry about the sound, di naman ganon kaingay GE natin with just the muffler... tanong niyo pa si Troy lol
