Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[red16]

...no worries sir red, noon I did have thoughts of cranking up those torsion
bars before I made my tire set replacement.
Kaso, baligtad yung intention ko sa intention mo...mine would be to increase
ride height not "lowering" as what I have understood from your previous post.

I have this crazy idea kasi na gamitan ng wider tires sa XTi ko...hahaha

I realized the following and had to prepare for the worst:

1. Wider tires readily available for 15's would be 215, 225, 235...
I have read that 235 would be too much for XT-XTi variants, magkakaroon
daw ng sabit at complications sa wheelwell plus issues when full load.
So I contemplated on the 225s and 215s na lang... dahil may nakakagawa na nun
with little or negligible complaints. I PM'ed some forumers here to solicit their ideas
on my wide tire replacement hehehe.

2. So I learned that gunning for the 225s and 215s using an aspect ratio of either "65" or "70"
would mean a 1" to 2" increase in the overall diameter from stock size of 205/65R15...and
I had apprehensions na baka kapusin pa rin sa clearance...
>>>dito na ako nagisip mag-crank ng torsion bars and do suspension lift sa rear...

3. Last realization would be...ANG GASTOS PALA para ipagsabay-sabay ito.
(Tire change/Torsion adjustment/Rear suspension lift/Wheel Alignment/PMS activities for 80kms)

So I again compromised to a 215/65R15 or 215/70R15 para sure akong wala akong maging
problema sa clearances that would necessitate the torsion bar cranking and the suspension
lift adjustment...but again, nung nag-canvass at nagtabulate na ako ng mga quotations for the
215s from various sources sa vicinity ng LAS PINAS-ALABANG- SUCAT area, I finally realized
I had to change my preference to a 205/70 so that I could have a bit of increase in the ride
height at the least cost.

And besides I only have enough money for the 205/70R15 set of tires + Other PMS activities
such as Tune-up and Change oil...haaaaay, Kumpromiso...

Kaya end result...
NO TORSION BAR CRANK,
NO SUSPENSION LIFT,
NO 235s Tires,
NO 225s Tires,
NO 215s Tires,
Tires changed from 205/65R15 (Overall Diameter=647mm) to 270/65R15 (Overall Diameter=669mm)

Buti nlang malakilaki na tires ng xuv.. hehehe.. thanks again sir..

Which year is the Sportivo from which you compared your '05 XT?

Sir benz, ako din po medyo napansin ko mas maingay yung '05 sportivo ko kesa sa 08/09 na xt at sportivo ng mga kilala ko.. Ano po kaya pinagkaiba?

TIA..

[Benzmizer]

Hi guys. I got a 2005 XT. I noticed that the engine sounds louder than that of the sportivo when they have the same engine (correct me if i am wrong). Now, how can I make the engine not that loud?

thanks in advance!

I thought about that too.... for quite some time. Directly compared engines only to be frustrated until I found one distinct difference ---- Euro compliance.

I realized that Euro 0 compliant 4JA1 are "noisier" than Euro compliant 4JA1 engines. And I believe 4JA1 euro compliance began '08.

.... then again, I may be wrong.

Okey ba looks ng xt, xti variants pag may ganyang add on?
Isuzu alabang lang ba meron?

[Benzmizer]

Hmmm, if there is anything, it breaks the monotony thru the add ons --- resulting a "different look" feeling. But I personally like the "stock" look better.

I believe all Ayala-owned Isuzu dealers has this. (Alabang, Pasig, Cavite and Rizal)

Nakakita narin ako ng ganyang variant, pogi naman pero medyo weird-looking lang yung "bumper" sa likod with straight exhaust pipe. hehe just my opinion.

Guys pasingit naman ng concern ko. Do you think it's normal na nauubos yung tubig sa water reservoir ng radiator every 1-2mos? Nung friday traffic sa edsa, buti nalang I checked it first. Kasi pagkita ko empty talaga. Hingi naman ako opinion niyo guys? Thanks

PS: wala naman akong nakikitang tulo sa ilalim

Dapat hindi bro. Have it checked at baka may leak lang na di mo nakikita o nacha-chambahan. Mahirap maubusan ng tubig..... disaster lurks.

Salamat sa tip bro.. Naku mapapasugod nanaman ako sa talyer nito..

[Benzmizer]

Relax lang. Just have it double checked and it does not automatically mean "expense" right away. Preventive measures lang bro.

Oo nga bro, mahirap talaga abutan sa kalye. Kaso lang kasi, mga 3x narin ako nagpabalik-balik sa talyer this year with the same problem. Pina-fix ko narin yung 2 holes for hoses. pero nauubos parin siya after 1-2mos. Palitin na kaya yung radiator cap? 8yrs narin kasi ang crosswind ko.

[tata_ismael]

Good day guys!

Anybody here selling his stock/OEM crosswind/sportivo 5.6 LCD headrest monitor? yung 5.6 inches ang size like this..





and model nya at the back of the monitor is Necvox FD-2560 TFT LCD Monitor..

please PM me if you have even at least one monitor..

Thanks and God bless!

Guys, i'm still looking.. Baka meron sa inyo jan nag upgrade, isa lang sana kailangan ko..

TIA and God bless!

Okey, mas maganda nga pag stock look sya.

[tata_ismael]

Mas ok siguro if body-color yung mga cladding and door mouldings..

[Fargin]

guys normal lang ba na may natalsik na motor oil kapag hinugot yung dipstick while the engine is running? napansin ko lang kahapon eh ehehehe

[Sleepcare]

Alam ko, pag maraming tumatalsik, yun ang hindi normal.

[S.S.C._28]

guys normal lang ba na may natalsik na motor oil kapag hinugot yung dipstick while the engine is running? napansin ko lang kahapon eh ehehehe

Pag sobra talaga ang talsik di na normal, baka naparami lang ng lagay ng oil. Cguro maganda pag nag fill hindi lalagpas sa maximum level ang oil.
May breather di ba? baka barado. correct me if i'm wrong.

i just would like to share again my experience regarding leaks in the radiator. mine happened a more than a year ago when i got my 2010 m/t sportivo & i noticed the same thing with the reservior. i checked for leaks below the engine & radiator but didn't find any leak. i just noticed that there were white spots on the air filter cover & discovered that when the engine is running there was this small spray coming from a tiny hole somwhere on the radiator so i had the radiator replaced since it was still under warranty.

[im_mblue]

Wow sana ganyan din kalinis yung sakin.. Im from Cainta btw. Pa-rustproof ko na lang kaya. Di ko kasi alam kung ano ginagawa ng isuzu pasig pag rustproofing basta hihintayin na lang ni customer unit niya. hehe gusto ko sana makita kung paano nila gawin.

Hahaha... Sportiv08, yung rustproofing or undercoating naman ang ayokong
i-witness without the Chemical Mask. Grabe ang fumes nung epoxy based
or rubberized paint na ilalagay nila sa underchasis... (Naalala ko lang nung nag
stripping ako ng existing paint ng mags ng motor using "Stripsol" after a whole
day scraping and scrubbing...nako para akong trinangkaso. Then after a week
dun naman sa Spray painting...ganun pa din ang nangyari...siguro nga sa fumes
yun...kaya madalas nagsusuot na ako ng chemical mask pag nag DIY (Destroy It Yourself)
ako ng painting ko sa Motor ko hahaha)

well, sa underwash walang problema kung nakatutok ka dun para mag photoshoot,
nakapagbabad ako ng todo para maki-usyoso sa gagawin nila dahil tubig lang yun,
e pag undercoating na kasi may mga strong chemicals na kasi yun baka pag mag
pa-undercoat ako e, interval visits na lang din ang magagawa ko para sa photo
session (every hour na lang hehehe)
By the way, dun sa pinagdalhan ko ng underwash, they also offered
me to do "Undercoating" for a fee of 3,000 but I didn't care to elaborate kasi
nasa isip ko nuon baka tuyoin ako at ako na lang ang magpintura under pag
may mahabang holiday hahaha... siyempre pa-underwash muna bago mag
coating sa ilalim... bale intermediate coats na lang gagawin ko using epoxy
based paints para mas matibay sa abrasion kesa dun sa rubberized coatings.

Thanks for the reply.

Any sportivo for that matter.

Ang ingay talaga ng xt ko. baka merong idagdag para hindi ganon ka ingay ang engine.

Balak ko kasi maglagay ng audio system. Sa sobra ingay hindi maganda ang sounds. hehehe

Sir Miloboy, nung pinakinggan nyo ba ingay na yun nakasara pareho yung
hood ng engine? kaya ko naitanong e, baka dun lang yan sa acoustic
insulation ng hood nagkakaiba, i mean, baka dun sa ibang unit maganda pa
yung seal nung insulation at malambot lambot pa yung insulation at lapat
na lapat pag sinara yung hood hehehe.... baka manipis naman yung dun sa
isa o kaya tumigas na dahil sa laging nababasa at init...kaya ang effect
imbes i-absorb yung ingay...i-bounce na lang ang ingay hehehe...kapag
pareho silang nakasara ng hood. IMHO lang po...hehehe.
