Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[14myXUV]

Wow. thanks a lot!!! effort appreciated kasi hirap mag search sa sobrang damin na

[ganglion]

pero wala naman akong naramdaman na mas bumilis sha, smoother acceleration lang pero mas lumakas konsumo. hmmm wala bang long term effects ito?

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...

Hehehe... Sir Red, under the hood kasi may insulation yun for heat
and for acoustic (noise dampener din) isa ito sa mga naisip kong pinagmumulan
ng noise or puwede ring yung hood lock na rin na loose na kaya hindi na lapat
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...

[TholitzReloaded]

The specs seemed to be like OEM --- only that the rim width is 8"! OEM is only 6.5" (or 7") A knowledgeable (and trusted) rim/tire shop should be able to decipher if that spec would fit a Crosswind without issues. Oh, correct tire specs (particularly width and flat rate) would prove important too.

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

*Benz
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.

Nice upgrade, goodluck.

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.

When I installed 18s on my former Crosswind, tires I used measured 255/55R18. But I was told that I should have used 245/60R18 tires. Unfortunately, since my former isn't with me anymore, I'll never know if those should have been ideal....

[baseliner]

will stick to my stock rim for a loooonnnggggggg time.

Thank you master benz, well at least you have given me an idea...i will find out from some tire experts here if those size are ideal and economical to use in terms of fuel consumption. Because they said that the wider the tires are the more you step on the gas pedal pump up some horse power to accelerate your car. Para daw kasi yang flat footed kapag malapad ang tires hirap tumakbo at kung nakatip-toe naman it can run easier during acceleration...

*baseliner, i think you have a wise decision, since you got the newer model of rims, if i do have those kind of rims on my ride i would do the same...kaso old model kasi yung sa akin kaya papalitan ko, it will not look good once i upgrade my ride to 2010 look. OEM 2003 stock rims kasi yung nakakabit ngayon.

Again, thanks much for the feedback mga masters...:D

[sportivonidave]

good evening mga guru's.. ask ko lang po kung saan pwede mag pa gawa ng remote ng alarm natin.. nabasa kasi sa ulan yung sa akin buti nlang naitago ko yung spare.. TIA

Bro meron tire size calculator sa internet. Dun mo makikita un ideal sizes para sa ride mo. Makikita mo un mga effects sa speedo sa gusto mong tire size. Isearch mo lang sa google. Wag ka maniniwala basta basta sa mga nagbebenta ng tires

+1 to this. Di ko naman nilalahat but more often than not, iba oo lang ng oo makabenta lang. This happened to my bro-in-law before when he liked a certain rim design. Yung shop salpak naman agad at oo ng oo di naman pala tama yung offset. Ayun, panay sayad sa fender well yung goma.... punit!

The concervative side in me says stick with the OEM. At the most, palitan mo ng pang '05-newer na Crosswind rims mo (since yours is a '03, right). Yun na yung "upgrade" mo. OEM na dating, wala pang compromise sa ride and FC. To top it all, ang mahal na ng mga goma ngayon. The thinner and bigger the diameter, the more expensive it is!

Pansin ko lang pag nagbbreak ako parang kumakabig yung manubela pakaliwa.. hmm. normal lang ba yun o alignment issue lang yun?

Not likely alignment issues but your brakes. Have it checked. Pabuksan mo and pasilip if needs replacement na pads or cleaning. Kapag alignment issues kasi, kahit di ka nagbre-brake, kapag binitawan mo manebela, kakabig yan.

Tama si Sir Benz, most likely di alignment issue yan, kc last week, ganyan din nangyari sa 09'xuv ko, if apply break, kumakabig din, sa kanan naman..nang pacheck ko alignment, ok nman, may inaadjust lng cla sa ilalim, yon bar n katabi ng stabilizer bar, if you notice yon bar n may nut s dulo, just beneath the radiator, for more convenient to work, you must need to remove the lower front bumper and you will see that nut, my mechanic was just only tightened the right bar, and the kabig was gone, for your part, just try to tightened the left part, and of course, you need also to test drive for exact adjustment, just my recommendations...

and also check your brake, baka madumi na or ayaw n maglaro ng caliper..
