Cool! yup I've tried also using this specially when spending weekends at my parents house at amadeo just few minutes away din sa tagaytay..

Medyo OT, but since emblem is a topic, those who bought it over ebay, did the supplier had it delivered to you directly and without any issue on taxes? Had a sad experience when a friend sent a parcel via mail. It should had been delivered to my adress, but i got a notice instead. I had to go to a postal office to claim it, and I had to pay taxes. Just wanted to know if internet purchases are hassle-free. Thanks.

Try Johnny Air, call them * (02) 817-0781 and look for Jova and ask for an explanation on what they do and what's their fee. I had my emblems shipped this way pati si allenjo. They air-ship so you can get your embled as early as 3~ days if you're very lucky. I also had my amplifier shipped this way from the US. I dread dealing with our postal office or that EMS place.

Hi,

Hello IceT. No they're not!

I ordered a jewelry box with dancing ballerina from eBay for our daughter. The product was shipped from Germany and supposedly would be door-to-door. I also got a notice and ended up paying at the postal office. The same thing happened to my husband just before Christmas. During the Black Friday sale in the US, he ordered a few Columbia pants and North Face bags at a huge discount. He asked a friend to buy it for him. His friend from LA, sent it via USPS (United States Postal Service) to our home address. Again, we got a notice and ended up paying taxes at the local postal office. I don't know the BIR rules about these things but thank you for reminding me. I have to find out if we are getting scammed or not!

You should spend more time in Amadeo. The weather is much much nicer. Plus, you'll get a chance to use the fog lamps for their intended purpose!

Saw the ad na. Hindi na in good condition yun plates kaya mura. Pag may pair na decent looking pa, better go for it

Hello SG! How are you? In your opinion which Euro Plate is the best? As I have read from the exchanges here, it comes in various colors. Thanks!

Confirmed: Ang front brake pads ng Sportage 2WD ay pareho sa Tucson 4WD. Pero ang binigay sa akin yung Hyundai spare part, hindi Kia. May minimal brake dust parin pero wala nang sound, unlike dun sa Kia spare part sa Tucson ko na walang brake dust at sound.

Sir SG,

Natandaan mo kung anong kulay yung metal ng brake pad? Mayrun sa Good gear, same part number, pero brown daw at hindi blue. Baka maingay din yun, hindi ko na bibilhin. TIA.

Same color. Pero di na sya maingay.

Ang problema andun parin brake dust. Tragis yan. Kung meron sila kamo nung Kia, yun nalang.

Thanks for the tip, Fleas. I've been hearing about johnny air. Minsan kasi mas mahal pa yung tax kaysa pinadala sa akin eh.

Buti natanong kita. Hyundai nga siya. Pareho lang pala part number ng Kia at Hyundai. Pass muna ako doon. Hanap ulit. Thanks!

Petron palang kasi ginamit nilang oil noon. Tsaka free pa labor.

Ito naman cost breakdown ng 22500km PMS ko.

Motul H-Tech 100 = P2,000 (From PowerTorq)
Oil Filter = P125 (From Fronte)
Engine air filter = P330 (From Fronte)
Brake Pads = P2,100 (From Fronte)
Labor + Misc. Fee = P1,440 (Kia Congressional)
Brake pad installation labor = P300 (Fronte)

Confirmed: Ang front brake pads ng Sportage 2WD ay pareho sa Tucson 4WD. Pero ang binigay sa akin yung Hyundai spare part, hindi Kia. May minimal brake dust parin pero wala nang sound, unlike dun sa Kia spare part sa Tucson ko na walang brake dust at sound.

*SG: You told us before ang kinabit sa Tucson nyo ay yung brake pads na pang KIA Carens (Part No. 58101-1DA00), nawala ang sound and brake dust. This is the pic you provided




Bakit Hyundai part ang binigay sa iyo ng Fronte, not the same KIA Carens pads you used for your Tucson?

I've verified at the casa that the pictured item is indeed for the Carens. The one for the Sportage is Part No. 58101-2SA70, which costs P6K (2K more than the Carens). I don't know if this is identical to the factory-installed front pads that came with our unit. I wonder kung meron nang nakapagpalit ng front pads using this part from the casa? At kung pareho pa din ang noise and dust. Kasi kung ganun pa din, I would insist that they install the one for the Carens instead, kahit dun ko na din bilhin (no time to go to Fronte)

Instead of having an upgraded hu with back up camera worth 26k(lurkercar) Any gps navigation na masusugest nyo?

Kanina may nakita ko sa snr "car navi" worth 7999

Garmin as suggested would be good. But GPS for use in Manila is not really necessary IMHO. We know most streets, and even if we don't, ang daling magtanong. Di tulad sa US or Europe na ang lalawak ng travel/driving, one could easily get lost. In Manila, GPS = pogi points, but not a big deal. I can't say the same thing for out of town (no experience to speak of), though maps may not be accurate. Pwede pa din magtanong just the same

My lurkercar HU/back-up cam freebie has GPS but I never use it (only once to show my kids who thought it was "cool"). What's more useful for me is the back-up camera. With the Sportage's high carriage, small rear window and limited rear visibilty, I feel more confident with visual cues from the camera when backing up. The back-up sensor is a big help, but actually seeing what you're backing up against is a bonus

Btw nakuha ko na ung sportage sandtrack kanina from kia congressional. May break in pa bang dapat isunod? Crdi ung nakuha ko

Congrats on your new ride igi! Enjoy the power! No breaking for new vehicles these days. Really no need to control your max speed, though some suggest trying to drive at different speeds para ang RPM level is not always at a certain level. Frankly I think this advise is not necessary for daily use kasi talagang your speed will vary with the traffic flow. But it might hold some water for looong trips

[igiwtf]

Pansin ko lang sa lock unlock nya sa driver side di sumasabay lahat kaylangan ung mismong button para mag lock unlock lahat.

Kaylangan paba ipaprogram ung unit ? Hindi kasi sya naka speed sensing lock tapos pag nag park ako hindi rin nag uunlock.

[igiwtf]

Say hello to your baby brother crv

Normal yun. Opening the driver door does only that. If you need something from the back seat or trunk, you need to press the UNLOCK button. Speed sensing locking is not on by default; kailangan ipa-program if you want. I tried it before but had it reprogrammed back to default (locking upon shifting to DRIVE). I wanted earlier locking for security/safety purposes: both from inside and outside. Default unlock is when you remove the key from ignition, not when you park. Don't know if there are other options for UNLOCK though

Bali sir ganto po ung pinaprogram nyo :
Lock - when shifting to drive
Unlock - when key remove from ignition.

Baka ganto nalang din ipaprogram ko sir thank you po.
