IMO hindi naman yata dapat lumakas ang fuel consumption kase hindi naman nagdagdag ng fuel injection kundi air flow lang... yung acceleration/hatak pwedeng mapansing nag-iba ng konti yan pero kung hindi naman mineasure yung FC talaga before and after installing the filter IMO psychological lang na tumaas FC mo... wala naman siguro long term effect sa makina yan...

na lapat yung hood pag sinasara...meaning may singaw na both sa init at ingay.

Getzz.. kuna sir but mine yung hood lock nya eh medyo loose na sa kakabagsak ko sa pagsasarado. Instead mas ok parin pala na "press" down munalang ng kamay mo yung hood bago isira para iwas "loose"...

IMO i think lumuwag lang talaga yung spring or connection nung lock, kase saamin naman hindi namana nasira yung lock kahit puro bagsak ang pagsara sa hood... ang delikado kase sa pag-press ng hood is magkaroon ng dent...

OT: nakakalito bagong format ng forum ahh...

Slightly OT: Got pic of the rim in that box to show us? Hehehe!

This rim is not for my crosswind a friend just shared this pic to ask me if he wont have problem if ever he installs this in his xtrm.
Here is a peek of what's inside the box.

So what do you guys think, aside from the specs would this look good on our crosswind?

His XTRM is due for upgrade to 2010 look I doubt kung makilala mo pa yun as XTRM pagnapalitan na lahat ng dapat palitan. Pero maganda nga ang Mags noh.

Yeah sir Tholitz...ganda talaga ng mags, should he push through with his
upgrade, would you mind posting a photo for us (FOR INSPIRATION PURPOSES)
HEHEHE....and provide us the details of the tires he would pair for those rims.

karamihan ba ng crosswind owners dito sa casa pa rin nag pa PMS?

baka may ma recommended shop kayo na mahusay bukod sa dealership. nilabasa na namin sa casa ang PMS sa gas station ko na dinala mediyo sumablay nung una kasi tumulo ang langis after namin ipa change oil pero naayos naman nung binalik namin.

Based from my personal observation, most Crosswinds are CASA maintained during it's warranty period. After the warranty has lapsed, that is the time they opt to have the vehicle done out on other shops. But personally, I would still recommend to have CASA do maintenance despite past warranty period. They have certain "checks" that they do on certain mileage.

My Trooper is 6 years old.... 4 years past it's warranty but I still have CASA maintain it. It gives me peace of mind.

Sir Tholits thank you for posting the specs of the rim, i went again to the shop where i found that rim and a friend of mine told me, it would be much nicer if i will look for a 17" or 18" Rim along a set of tires. My only question is what size of tires should i fit on those rim sizes for it not to affect with the change? If our OEM Wheel set is 205/65/R15 what should it be for R17 or R18 rims? Thanks for any feedback.
