I hataw na yan. Hahaha
wag mo na i-beybi. :D

hehehe. kaya nung pag-uwi ko galing sa 1st pms sa la union (sa amianan motors na isa sa authorized service centers ng hancars) hinataw ko agad kahit maraming potholes sa asphalt road tapos umuulan pa. andami kong nilampasan na naipon sa likod ng mga mababagal na ten-wheelers.

[jepoy m.]

Hehehe! Congrats! Binyagan nga!

thanks *IMm29.
since tag-ulan ngayon, worried ako sa kalawang. meron bang parts ng gs body na dapat ingatan like yung sa loob ng wheel wells?

[jepoy m.]

Figures your Axx plate number, bro....

Nice rides! (especially the one in the left side)...

(Which makes me remember a comment of a Korean some years ago, that the colors of the vehicles in their country are boring,- black or white,- while here in the Philippines, we have other interesting colors like red, yellow, orange, green, blue....

Fast forward today,- we have practically black, white and silver..... )...

thanks *CVT. Yung ms pinili ko ang black para intimidating ang dating (sa mga traffic enforcers at would-be-carjackers) kaso pag nagasgas litaw yung white na primer nya. kaya eto naman sa gs ang pinili ko white para di halata yung gasgas. yesterday napansin ko may tama ng batong maliit sa may bandang baba ng pintuan ko. ang lumitaw na primer parang dark gray.

[jepoy m.]

Weight savings! :hysterical:

*jepoy m.: Tama lang yan. At least hindi na baby yung sasakyan. Nakakaantok lang though sa GS kapag mahaba byahe tapos maulan. Comfortable eh, sarap matulog... :lol:

parang gusto ko ngang matulog noong pauwi kami buti na lang at may binigay na usb si webson na may bossa nova songs. :cool:

[jepoy m.]

*IMm29 mas mabilis ang gs vs ms non-vgt (nilagay ko lang yung sticker na "v" ).

*jdee12, 30k yung charge sakin sa pag-2tone ng cvx.

Two-tone ba iyan bro.jepoy m.,- o cladding?...

Iyong side din, ganyan, di ba?

Ang ganda ng dating...

(Pareho tayong ceramic white ang GS....
Isa rin naming sasakyan,- itim,- kaya pahirapan sa alaga ng pintura... )

Ah i see. Head to head VGT na sana.

*imm29 ok lang pahiram kaso nabenta ko na sa friend ko yung filter at coupler eh. lol. Mura lang naman kay DZ ko kinuha mga 1600 ata yung filter pati coupler at clamp.

Just changed my tires to yokohama geolandar g0521. Eto na yung best reviews na nakita ko sa net eh. May onti pa yung stock at around 44000km pero pinalitan nalang. Although i gave up load capacity since 100 nalang compared sa 108 ng stock ra08 it's still more than enough for the GS' weight(around 2300kg gross) plus our family and luggage pag out of town. Been to baguio 42psi front 45psi rear hindi naman nagkabukol. 100 load rating = 800 kg per tire.

IIRC 5200 isa kuha ko sa JSM sa jp rizal marikina. Jay also had ra08 at around 4800 i think.

Hehehe! No worries. Just figured if it was lying around doing nothing, eh bigyan natin siya ng gagawin. Hahaha!

Out of curiosity, is the 2,249 kg the gross weight or the curb weight?

*CVT, cladding sa side tapos front and rear bumpers painted to match cladding color.

yung itim dapat talaga e alaga sa wax, kung hindi tiyak tadtad sa swirl marks yan.

I checked on the weight, and it seems curb weight yung 2,200+ kgs. 2,700+ kgs yung gross weight.

Anyhow, the 1,000 kg capacity per tire should still handle that.

Mga kapwa GS owners, meron ba sa inyo nagpa service sa standout motors recently and may ilalagay daw na silicone oil sa may fan sa harap ng makina para daw lumamig yung aircon? Hmmm...

[CVT]

Kung bago lang ang GS mo bro.,- I see no need for them to add (repack) silicone in your fan clutch.... In my limited experience, iyan ay kailangan lang kapag dumudulas na ang iyong fan clutch which could cause abnormal engine temperature.

Malamig naman ang aircon, di ba?...

Sorry curb weight pala hehe. 800kg lang kasi ang 100 load rating pero kayang kaya pa naman 3200kg capacity tapos 2300kg curb weight. Nicompute ko pa weight namin sa family plus guesstimate ng heaviest possible baggage hindi naman aabot 1 ton eh haha.

[jdee12]

Tanong lang, para saan ba yung Eco Mode?
I was able to turn it off. Hahaha.

Sir Jepoy, taga saan po kayo? I'm from Bauang, La Union pero nakabased po dito sa manila kasi dito nagwowork. Amianan Motors Rosario is accredited ng HANCARS na service centre kasi sila dati ang nagsusupply ng Starex nung hindi pa binili ng HARI ung hyundai kaya may Hyundai La Union na sa San Fernando. Pero as per HANCARS, nagbebenta pa din daw ang AMIANAN ng mga GS pero may additional na and ang maganda is galing pa din kay HANCARS ung mga units nila. Sabi pa nga ni Webson, parang 2 units per month daw ang orders nila. Thanks

Hehehe! No prob. Nag-wiki na din ako to be sure I wasn't mixing up definitions.

I think you're still good bro.,- but of course with a smaller factor of safety....

A 900Kg margin (800Kgx4 vs. 2300Kg++) for passengers and luggages should be more than enough. Don't overload, though...

Sir jDe ang alam ko ang eco mode ay 3 colors , green, grey and red. I think the eco mode gives you a tip on how to drive best para maging efficient yung gas. Notice if you drive naka green cya, pero pag lalimin mo yung apak sa gas pedal magiging grey. If naka neutral ka naka grey din. If uphill ka mag drive then it turns red . So in short, you need to keep the eco mode on color green most of the time to be fuel efficient
