2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

Napansin ko sa GS ko, sa 2nd row-4th row seat. 2pt seatbelt lang pala?

[jepoy m.]

Though I don't have pix, my Europas are located below the headlights. They're not touching any inner part of the bumper so they're moving freely when used, unlike when Autoline installed them in between the headlight and grille. Tsk tsk! Mga shortcut talaga ng installer na tamad!

*IMm29 yung europa horns ko sa ibaba rin ng headlights nakalagay kaya lang malakas ang sound ng horns sa loob ng sasakyan. Ganun din ba sayo?

[bratski]

Pag sa ibaba kasi ng headlights kulob sa loob ng bumper,atnag reresonate din sa loob ng sasakyan. Yung Bosch europa ko nasa ibaba ng grille. Nakasilip yung isa kaya pag busina nakakasigaw ng todo hehehe. Kaso since limited yung space isa lang napagkasya ko dun. Yung isa nasa itaas ng foglight nakakabit.

[jepoy m.]

Oo nga *bratski. Nagugulat tuloy mga passengers kong natutulog tuwing bumubusina ako.

Pwede palang ilagay sa likod ng grilles tulad ng ginawa sa gs ni *juan591. Akala ko noon hindi papasok.

*SG meron bang photos ng gs ni *juan591 showing the mounting of the horns behind the grilles?

[14myXUV]

what options are available in increasing the ground clearance of starex? Kinda low for flood-prone streets but at least about an inch higher than Carnival. Salamat po.

[IMm29]

Bratski and jepoy m,

Have long wanted to have my horns mounted like what they did on juan's GS. Don't know of an installer who'd do it tho.

Autoline does not want to put it there coz baka masira radiator. Nga lang nagduda ako na tinatamad lang yung gumagawa kasi pinaglilitan nya sa tabi ng headlight. Masikip at tago na, may sayad pa! Di ko na binalik.

Supreme Motors were hesitant about the radiator too. They installed it in the bumper. True may resonance coz nakakulob, but better than Autoline's install. Medyo nagka-bass konti yung europa.

I still wanna have it repositioned though.

^^^ The shop where we had the Europa installed in our company GS is in BF Paranaque,- forgot the name of the shop though. They placed it behind the grilles. This is the shop that is almost fronting the entrance to Tahanan Village, across President's Ave. Owner's name is Ritche. His shop's number is +6328427732....

Kung maliligaw ka sa Alabang area...

Me? I've been out of the south for quite a while now. Hehehe!

[jdee12]

Mga bro, kamusta?
Hehe. nasubukan ko na patakbuhin ng 180 km/h yung GS!
Kaya lang naalala ko bigla na T rated lang pala yung Nexen ko.

Ano ba maganda na replacement tires for GS? Tsaka nga pala. Yung isang kaibigan ko may GS na din. Naka 2kms na siya. Hindi masyado na break-in dahil city dwerller siya. May chance pa ba gumanda hatak nun kapag tinakbo niya pa ng medyo malayo na hard driving talaga? Thanks!

[bratski]

^im not sure kung kaya pa habulin sa magandang break in yan kasi 2k mileage na. Dapat sa 1st 1k mileage ginagawa yung hataw break in. City dweller din ako pero talagang sinadya ko pumunta ng baguio at tagaytay para lang maihataw ng todo sa expressway during my 1st 1k break in. Pinaabot ko pa 160kph nun. Kung hindi ko lang kasama mga kids isasagad ko sana yung speedometer hehehe.

[bratski]

Isa pa nakakaasar yung nexen na tires na yan. Na oblong isang front tire ko dahil sa bihira magamit hehehe. Kumakabig na kasi sa kanan kaya i had the alignment checked, wala naman daw diprensiya pero ang layo ng caster alignment. Mas pasok yung drivers side wheel compared sa passenger side. Ang bad news pa dito is walang adjustment para sa caster alignment natin. So pina swap ko yung left and right front tires, kumabig naman ngayon sa kaliwa. So ni rotate ko ngayon yung rear sa front, ayun problem solved. Ang culprit aside from.the caster problem is yung isang tire defective. Oblong siguro, couldn't tell just by looking at it though. Bilis pala ma oblong ang nexen tires, mine is just 2 years and 10k mileage on it.

I still wanna have it repositioned though.

I just had mine relocated similar to Juan's gs. A couple of flat bars were used as brackets and bolted to existing holes on the upper and lower frame of the radiator. Sinabay ko na sa 5k check-up kanina. Now, i can hardly hear the horns from inside the cabin. A very big difference from when the horns were located below the headlights inside the bumper.

Ako din city dweller, pumunta ako ng Subic nun nung bago GS ko.

Tingin ko nahahabol pa rin naman nung kaibigan ko. Kasi kagabi while in SLEX Sucat-C5. Eh naihataw niya hanggang 140 km/h ng hindi pa sagad.

Bro. Bratski, T rating ba NExen? Kung tama pagkabasa ko ng tire. Hirap basahin eh.
51 pressure ko sa likod, madalas 5 kami sakay.

Tsaka napansin ko sa NEXEN eh yung right part nga, medyo may pudpod na bakat na. Yung pinaka outer part ng right side.

Bigat kasi ng GS kaya mahirap mapirme.

Matakaw sa sides ng tires ang GS. Bigat eh. Same problem as Carnival.

Ok maghahanap na nga ako ng gagawa. Nainggit naman ako.

[Starex_Gold]

*IMm29: Spotted your GS last night. Buendia cor. Malugay again. Haha. Sa Buendia ako papunta Zueling Loop para makapasok sa Malugay kasi hinarangan na nila yung (&%*#$ng street na yun.

Busina ako ng busina baka sakali mapansin mo
