[jarx]

kung papakabit ka ng Tint punta ka sa Karrglas ok kausap yun may ari dun. Si ric ang hanapin niyo tapos sabihin mo nirfer ka ni darwin. He'll give you a good price. It is along banaawe between e rod and Q ave

Dapat pala dito ako nagtanong ng tint. Sa kabilang thread ako nagbasa, hindi ako natuwa sa pinagawan ko.

Hi bro, I apologize if this is a repeat on one of my earlier questions but I can't seem to remember if it was answered....

If you have tint installed on top of existing tint, won't the two layers of tint be too thick already and possibly get scratched whenever the windows are moved up and down?

[bogart]

kakatuwa nga nung nagpa-quote ako ng full tint for my LX MT last friday dun sa alabang.

the 2 shops i asked really measured the glass panels for their quotation. wala pa raw silang measurement ng carens. anyway the qoute was around P6k for a full 3M and P3.8k for a titanium brand.

in a las pinas accessories shop, they also measured the glass panel and the lady even asked: "sir- how do you spell that? c-a-r-e-n-s? ah- ito pala yung bago ng hyundai!" :D

sige game ako sa carens eb, sana sa the fort!

Just want to share my newly installed Rota Mags...
Size 15 na rin kinabit ko para di ako magpalit ng goma at di masacrifice ang ride quality.. pinili ko na lang yung sagad ang spoke sa gilid para malaki tingnan mukhang 16 na rin......

Sir pochie, can u give me the complete specs of the alloy wheels you bought, like size of the rim and mga size ng bolts and also the spacing between the bolts kasi im planning to buy my alloy wheels abroad and takot ko lang baka di kumasya sa wheels ng carens ko, thanks in advance!!!

first time q rin nag work sa kia hrap ako intidihin un brand sbi q sirain tba toh at panget aircon... sbi din ng dad q panget yan korean car yan mas maganda japan made dpt nag toyota k nalan... then nag trained aq dun q nalaman na mas lamang papala ang kia kesa sa toyota honda when it comes to technology... i demo the sportage to my dad ksi balak nga bumili ng isuzu or toyota nun nalaman nya specs and technology namangha hehehe! nun na test drive nya sobra smooth daw ng ride... sarap daw gamitin .. now his planning to buy 1! hekhek mga tao lan ngyn msydo crab mentality...

[wavecxs]

oo, hwag niyo pansinin yung mga humihirit sa Carens.

sobrang nakakatawa yung experience ko dyan.... sabi sa akin nung gasoline attendant, "Sir, bagong bago ah. Inabot kayo ng Php 500,000?"

Hahahahahaha

nung one time nasabay yung officemate ko sakin. tanong nya "magkano kuha mo dito?" e di sinabi ko price. sagot nya "wow, mas mahal pa sa jazz at sa civic ha?" imagine, comparing the jazz to the carens I was tempted to challenge him for a race, pero wag na lang.

i realize na matagal pa siguro bago mawala sa isip ng tao na cheap ang kia, but with the steady improvement in quality I think it will get to the point where it will rival the japs. on second thought...well, cheap naman talaga (literally, the price; compared to toyota, at least) yun nga maganda dun e; cheap na, maganda pa.

Now, if only Columbia will handle the distribution better. Start by convincing the Koreans that the Philippines deserve to receive the same car features as the one released in other countries, not some castrated units (lack of abs, airbag, alloy rims etc).

[jarx]

parang mabilis nga Carens (although parang hindi pa confirmed kung off nga yung speedometer by 10%) hahahaha

first time ko mag own ng diesel, mga na drive ko palang dati na diesel ay L300at Adventure, so hindi naman comparable

nung mga biyahe ko sa Tagaytay, effortless mag overtake. naninibago lang ako sa A/T. Iniwan ko sa D tapos nag lift ako ng konti sa gitna ng pag overtake, ayun nag upshift so nawalan ng acceleration. hahaha. wala naman problem sa kotse dahil ganun naman yata sa lahat ng A/T. dapat siguro iniwan ko sa manual mode.

reason naman kaya Carens kinuha ko is yung seat layout. plus nalang yung CRDI, etc.

kailangan ko lang matandaan is yung pag "cool down" after gamitin.... pinapatay ko kaagad makina. pero at least naaalala ko na hwag muna i-start hangga't may ilaw pa yung sa heater/coil.

to ser "magnusthegreat"
VGT turbo combust all the diesel fuel kaya siguro alcohol nalang ang naamoy ko.[/QUOTE]


fm. what i know the function of the "Variable Geometry Turbo" is to have better power flexibility of the engine. wherein it will enable to tune the engine to be on boost on a wider rev range. fm. low revs all the way up (to almost redline). some engines kasi go-on boost only either on early rev and taper-off severely at higher revs or tuned the other way around... hope this helps.

Hyundai bought kia years back because to gain entry in the states...and also for the technology...some korean products is more superior than euro brand take for example sa cellphone and home appliance....ayoko ko lang sa koreans ang lasing at bastos na koreano....future kia carnival owner here..next week. Long live kia!

[ace8tan]

pardon lang sir

i don't think they need to convince the koreans to send those full specs units here, since the local distributor is the one who made the order list to the factory of what features they want.

so to have high profit the local dealer just order the car with less features and sell it at higher price


if they bring in the full features and sell at a much higher price, higher than the price now, they will not be able to sell it .

Ok lang bro. Bali pinatong ko yung new tint sa old tint ko. bale ang nangyari is sungard lahat ang gamit ko. except for the back 3m yun kasi mas malipis ang 3m e. pero sabi ng lahat ng nagkakabit mas ok daw ang sungard sa pricing and sa quality may 10 years naman na warranty e. kay karrglas ako nagpagawa try niyo din dun ok kausap mayari dun

Hi sir, thanks sa info, i appreciate it a lot , im not in shenzhen, im here in zhejiang province, actually im not that familiar kng saan merong magandang quality and affordable na alloy wheels, but sa pinagtanungan ko last yr sa isang booth na nagbebenta, if i convert it to peso yung 4pcs na alloy wheels will be around 20k pesos di pa kasama freight from here going to pinas, i havent visited that supplier pa this year, baka next wk puntahan ko sya to inquire baka may bago sya hehehehe, pag nakabili na ako, post ko yung picture dito.

[Mschumacher]

Hey peeps with regards sa club or sa eb natin maybe we could plan it next week sunday (May 11) afternoon na lang para may time tayo magpadami ng confirmation. Pwede siguro sa metrowalk na lang para malaki ang parking or kung meron kayong suggestion na ibang lugar ok lang din. I could also bring a sample logo with sample sticker if you guys want to.

pls list your names na lang for confirmation:

HELLO!

Just got our Carens the other day(EX/AT, white) from KIA greenhills. Got some add-ons pa: rain gutter, DVD player, full front tint. LOOOVE IT!

Next is leather seats so if you know anyne who makes them well(and cheap) please let me know.

Question lang: Has any of you tried BIODIESEL on your Carens? Is it compatible and where did you get it? Flying V pa lang ako nakakita ng Biodiesel eh.

Thanks!!
