Kia Pride [MERGED]

Mga KIA Peeps! Happy New Year to all!!!!.....Sorry ngayon lang ako nadalaw sa tread since no time to be here while on holiday. Yup! umuwi ako ng pinas for more than 2 weeks kaya lang I was in Isabela (Ilocos). I managed to drive also my KIA car down to Manila to fixed other components since ibang piyesa ay hindi available sa province. Sad to say that repainting was a big disappointment, palpak yung pintor at di pa masyadong makinis yung final coating nya but anyway I have to accept that fact. Palpak din yung mekaniko ko sa province so decided to bring it in Manila. These are all the parts replaced...aray ko po!!!!!: All shocks replaced Front And Rear(mando made in korea), CV Joints L&R, Alternator (Japan rebuilt), All Window Channels and seals, Rewire to its original wiring system kasi yung system ko was using AVR before, Front Disks L&R + Brake pads, Brake Shoe sa Rear drum brake, Thermostat Control + Aircon Cleaning & Declogging And new accessories like new steering wheel, shift knob, seat cover, new tail light (from 96 model GTX), windshield sticker and Type R washer...I guess I have to enjoy all this till it lasts. Pinachanged oil ko rin to Castrol GTX with Engine flush. The car now is running smoothly when I drove it back to Isabela loaded pa kami with my family, isa na lang ang dapat ayusin yung rear suspension bushing kasi sumisipa kapag nasa rough road. Kung sa takbo rin lang ay di pahuhuli especially when i was in Manila talagang hataw!!!!. It even reached up to Tuguegarao when I settled my OWWA there. Super tipid talaga hopefully last major headache ko na yun. Plano ko pa ring paHilamos para naman oks na kasi naisagi rin ng misis ko nung ipasok sa garahe eh! tsk tsk..Namayat husto bulsa ko

:cry::cry::cry:
I am planning to buy a bigger family car before the end of this year at baka gawin ko na lang ito na Project car...Cheers!!!!!:lol:

isang hamak na owner din kami ng kia (both sedan at yung hatchback) matindi narin
serbisyo naibigay nito, eto gamit namin pag umuuwi dyan sa bicol, weekly pa yun mga pre, and been travelling that route for 3 years now, so far ok naman, flat tire yung
madalas na problema (attributed narin siguro sa sa road condition) pero serbisyo wise
Patok! basta alaga lang.

as the saying goes:
Take good care of your car and your car will take good care of you!

my impression on the car (Kia Pride - CD5 o LX) is such a simple car na pwede mong gamitin everyday, serves its purpose in taking you whereever you want to go. Matipid sa gaso ( i think nag 22 kms/liter yata ako dati on a CD-5 which belongs to my cousin), practical, spacious tsaka hindi ka matatakot iwan maski saan. i have heard din news na may mayari nyan na sinugod sa baha yung cd-5 nya tapos hanggang hood na yung tubog, pero hindi sya tumirik (water sealed ba makina nyan?)

kung pang everyday use kasi eh you really don't need power specially kung nandito ka sa metro manila. madali pa sa singitan.

I have two unit of kia gtx 98 and 2000 model, okay naman yun performance nung auto for me. if want to view the unit www.pbase.com/skn555/kia I'm selling this one, kailagan ko nang malaki ride.

simple lang yun setup ko sa 98 model. Pioneer car stereo with CD changer, Alarm(COBRA), Dashield, Spoiler. seldom ko nang ginagamit.

:wink: The 2000 model naka dressup nang spoiler all around, :cry: kaya lang ay nabangga na hinayupak na nissan terrano. both of may car engine are all stock.

Sana meron din ang KIA PRIDE club so that everybody can show off yun auto nila.

just email me if interested SKN555*YAHOO.COM

Kung gusto niyo ng club, i think i try natin pumasok sa www.protegetech.org. O kung gusto niyo talagang solo lang ang Kia Pride owners. Depende kasi yan kung ilan ang gusto magparticipate. baka kasi konti lang. For me gusto ko, kaso hindi ko alam kung pano at ano ang hirap ng magkaroon ng isang internet site like Protegetech(Mazda Club). Kung talagang mahirap at konti lang tayo, try ko na lang i-convince organizer ng Protegetech to formalize that Kia Pride is included, since Mazda din naman tsikot natin.

For those who want to have a club, declare it by posting it here. So that we could know kung ilan tayo.

Im a KIA PRIDE DIE HARD so i want a club!!!
