Thanks guys, parang nakaka sawa kasi un smell ng marine squash eh.
BTT: sabi ng friend ko ok lang daw yun. Hindi ko alam dun kung hindi nya naamoy or baka wala ng gaanong amoy kasi nabawasan na ng konti. Oh well, to be sure pa check nalang sa casa. Thanks for the help guys!

Mga Sir question po, sa mga nakakuha sa Kia Las Pinas but get it through bank finacing totoo po ba libre yung headunit upgrade. Baka pwede po pabulong ng name and contact number ng agent. Thanks!

[blooperoo]

Mga sirs, available kaya dito sa pinas ito?

In channel window visors para mas clean ang install, flush lang.

ako din magtatanong if meron may alam saan pwede mag-order ng OEM subwoofer assemby for the sportage.

this morning, i was paying extra attention sa sound system ng sporty. i think the stock is decent enough kulang lang ng bass and amplification

Im using Nitro for my tires 35PSI. Napansin ko ang lakas ng road noise and mjo stiff ung ride.
Yun una gsto ko ung sounds, pero un pag tagal parang may kulang. HAHA!

Has anyone installed an hid kit yet? Any problems with the led drl? I read somewhere that you meed to buy drl cancellers so that hids will work properly on our sportage, is this true?

Fleas, i did't see your review on the rc pro, can you pm me your opinion if it was a worthwhile purchase? Tnx

ahh that's because i didn't well, the difference in acceleration is noticeable and i'm on stock settings lang. according to the manual, there are usually 2 more aggressive settings available. my highway mileage is improved but i think my city mileage worsened, but i do have a tendency to boost between traffic lights

and if its a worth-while purchase, if you spend more time on open roads or highways, it's definitely worth it as for those with mixed highway and city driving, it boils down to how much you spent buying the RC pro, hehe

there's another guy here (Oilman) with an RC pro and he gets his money's worth on the expressways

my daily drive is a civic FD 1.8S. driven it for 3 years na. prior to that, my daily drive was a honda city 1.5L CVT. sa tingin niyo worth it mag change na ako ng car? we have a red 2012 sportage. 2.0L 4x2. its our extra car. planning to sell the 1.8s na.

natatakawan ako sa gas ng sportage. 2k palang odo nito. performance wise, saan mas mabilis? 1.8s civic or 2.0 theta II in terms of acceleration? im always a spirited driver that is why performance is still my # choice. any advice? thanks! help me decide

[renzo_d10]

^ I'd always keep the newest one, so I'd sell the FD. Besides, the Sportage looks better than the Civic. Probably because of the chrome rims that the Civic has (no offense)

consumption wise, I get 8km/L at an average for our 1.8 FD MT. I heard it's around 6-7km/L for the Sportage. Not much of a difference if you ask me kasi mas bigger naman yung Sportage to begin with. And higher displacement as well.

not sure how the two performs on sprints pero yun Hondas kasi high-revving meaning kailangan mo parati mataas RPM para maramdaman power nila, di ko lang sure sa Sportage, but kung low-revving yung Sportage siguro sa duluhan nalang makakahabol yun Civic say it's slower than the Sportage.

kung gusto mo naman ng fast car, sell the FD then buy a toy car. say a 2nd hand STi

Fleas tnx for the comprehensive review, btw are u required to use better diesel (like shell vpower) because of the race pro? Does it have better throttle response and less turbo lag?

AFAIK, you use cleaner diesel (less ppm) generally for CRDI engine longevity, RC pro or not. I fill mine with Unioil (Euro 4-ish) or Seaoil (Euro 3-ish) diesel

Responsiveness might have improved a bit due to performance/power output increase. Honestly, di ko naman napapansin 'yung lag or unresponsiveness but it's probably because I'm not aware of it? Hmm, can't think of one situation where I needed power and the sporty didn't provide

Without na boss. Kita yung clean lines ng body. Got the emblems courtesy of advices from you, twinnies, and dockiks....thanks a heap.

no problemo as for the visors, undecided pa ko, for now, nakakabit para masulit muna

Totoo cleaner ang high euro rating fuel kasi less sulfur content, ang question lang how strict yon quality control ng mga small player sa mga dealers nila? May bais ako sa mga small oil player, stick ako muna sa Shell V-Power diesel.
