Last i heard from insiders ng planta, ubos ang stocks! If you get the chance to go around the plant, you;d see no Crosswinds at the depot.

A big part of me says the 2010 Crosswind has not lost its charm despite the increase in price.

[Fargin]

diba ang ang price increase lang naman yung sportivo and xuv variants? kasama ba mga xl, xt, xti and xti limited?

OT:
ano nga pala diff ng xt sa xti?

Top of mind:

XT - bench front seats, side-facing 3rd row seats, radio, no foglamps, black sideview mirror without turn signal, pull twist handbrake, alloy wheel design, exterior colors.

XTi - bucket front seats with center console, front facing 3rd row seats, radio, with foglamps, chrome sideview mirror with signal, floor handbrake, alloy wheel, exterior colors

Ayos! Ibig sabihin marami pa rin naniniwala na magaling/maganda talaga ang mga crosswinds natin.

Hi! Im planning to replace stock mags size 15 of sportivo '08 to 255x55x18 size of tires...

1. Will the new tire size make it more mabagal?
2. Will it make more matagtag?

Need your expert advise.. please help!

Thanks!

I would be the perfect person to ask.

I had installed exactly a correct offset set of 18" rims and the same tire specs as you mentioned (Bridgestone Dueler H/P). The following were observed <and to answer your queries>:

1. Will the new tire size make it more mabagal?
Logically, yes. Not only that you increase the rim size (15 > 18s) but you also increase the rubber weight due to the larger tires (235 70R15 > 255 55R18). Expect speed (specially on acceleration from full stop) to be compromised.

2. Will it make more matagtag?
Yes. Any vehicle that increases the rims size on thinner flat-rate tires without modifying the suspension (to address the mods done on the rims/tires) would result to this.

In addition, expect that there would be "scrapping" at the rear wheels on the fender arc near the stepboard endcap) when the vehicle is fully loaded or at least 5 full-size adults. (see photo below)


Here is a photo of the rims and tires I used.



Good luck!

[SIZE=3]Thanks Benzmizer for the detailed explanation![/SIZE]

Can you give me any suggestion?

What is the appropriate rim and tire size? Also, can we change the rear shocks, in order to control the tagtag if Im going to an 18inch rim? Any brand?

THANKS!

[Benzmizer]

Can you give me any suggestion?

What is the appropriate rim and tire size? That's a subjective question. If you're to ask the manufacturer, they'd say 15" (or they'd void your warranty!), If you as me, 18s would be a good compromise between the suggested ride and looks; If you ask my friend A-Toy, he'd say 20" (which is actually possible --- saw him do it 2 years ago in a Sportivo). Short of saying, that would depend on you, my friend. You can go with your original plan of 18s --- but expect the ride to be compromised (vs. the 15s) and vehicle acceleration to be affected.

Also, can we change the rear shocks, in order to control the tagtag if Im going to an 18inch rim? Any brand? Sure you can. Thou I am not that sure on what shock absorber brands that would be suitable for a Crosswind. As a reference, for european cars there is Bilstein. This brand would have OEM spec shocks and they would have the upgrade ones which are Bilstein HD (Comfort Setting). In my Trooper, it was available. So when I changed my rims to 22", I installed these special shock absorbers to compensate the stiffness in ride caused by the bigger rims.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

[SIZE=3]Thanks Again Benzmizer! Ill go with size 18.. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]More power to you!!!![/SIZE]

Much luck my friend. Again, please study the best tire size to avoid the "rubbing" issues on the rear. I could not give you a definite size for I didn't replace the tires I had already bought. I just had to limit the # of passengers/load of my former Crosswind.

An intelligent guess would be 245/55R18. Just double check with the shop you are to get the rims/tires. They [SIZE="3"]SHOULD[/SIZE] know.

Surely it's an isolated case. Bring it to your selling or nearest authorized Isuzu dealer and use the car's warranty.

[dekhsamson]

maybe it's not the windshield mam, i also experienced it in my 2010 crosswind xt which i purchased last june 30 at q.ave., if you can still remember, heavy rainpour last july 10, the following day, saturday yun, mag-vacuum sana ko and to my surprise, bahang-baha ang flooring ko, sa drivers' side extending sa likod, rush agad ako sa casa, thorough inspection revealed that, sori di ko alam ang tawag dun, pero yun yung, if you open the hood, mayrong bundle of wires just beneath the clutch fluid reservoir, holding by a rubber plug then inserted to the unit's body (cowl yata un) correct me if i'm wrong sa term ha, na-dislodge sya dahil siguro dun pinadaan ang wire ng horn ng alarm ng magpa-install ako nito sa casa din, iniba nila ang linya then ibinalik sa dati ang natanggal na rubber, ang hirap magpatuyo, mga 4 days din cguro and around mga 5 dangkal na newpaper and several thick doormats, after that, tuyong-tuyo na, takot nga ako baka mabulok ang flooring, after several days of heavy rainpours wala ng tubig, tuyo na talaga, ipa-check nyo na rin mam bka dito nanggagaling.....

[kevin3000]

suggest ko punta kayo sa upholstery shop then pabalutan niyo ng plastic ung flooring.. di ko alam tawag dun..

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get a rotor disk for Crosswind XUVi 05 and how much? I recently worn out mine, it still working though pero naging manipis na ung Disk Breaks ko. I was running pala without break pads sa front left from Manila to Bataan, ung sa back side ng disk break wala ng pads. nung pabalik na ako ng Manila di na talaga kumportable ung breaks pakiramdam ko lumulusot na.. so I have it check the sa nearby Servitek, they told me na wala na ngang pads and the piston was grinding with my disk breaks.. the mechanic told me that i should have the rotor disk replace when i get back to manila.. what he did was just replace the pads on both front tires.. btw, it also caused my stock mags to rust because of the tiny metal particles resulted by rubbing to metals sa break assembly ko.. a costly mistake for me I should have had check the moment na naramdaman ko yung problem now.. mdyo malaki na ung gastos replacing the rotor disk and piston.. btw, does anyone know also where can I have my stock mags fixed? I mean rechrome or painted?

[noygelo]

is it possible to install the spare tire at the back of an XTI or XT to make it look sportier? price wise, i will prefer an XTI over the XUV and Sportivo...too pricey for what they can offer.
