guys, right now, diba lite-ace na ride ko, coming from an older delica, na binenta ko na kasi sa mahal na ng maintenance(malapit na masirang turbo, a/t, pangit ang conversion ng a/c sablay ang steering, lakas ng brake fade, etc, at siyempre pinagpraktisan ko yung sasakyan na yon).
nagpalit ako ng liteace kasi mas mura nga sa maintenace and much smaller siya pang-ikot around the metro. pero lame siya pag hi-way runs na,e..(i barely hit 100kph lang,e!)
tsaka, totoo, iba parin ang power ng 4d56-t kaysa sa 2c-te,e...ang layo. pero sa ride, mas gusto ko ung TEMS ng liteace ko, unlike sa halos truck-like ride ng delica...
ang tanong ko panu ko sisimulan sa misis ko na gusto ko na sell ulit ung liteace kasi gusto ko ulit mag-aquire ng newer, jdm 1994 na delica starwagon, kung papalarin manual tranny naman. nakakamiss at hinahanap ko parin kasi ang ride-height, left-side/right side elbow-room(kung nasa left/right side ka), front leg room, power at versatility (good off-road and on-road capabilities). and importantly, i missed the light output of having mutiple lights(6 for my older delica-->main, aux(high)+fogs vs "2 x 2-in-1" ng liteace->main+fogs lang.)
naiisip ko kasi, kaysa sa much newer, more powerful, more spacious and more expensive na spacegear, mas madaming matitira sa aking sukli (100-250 thousand pesos to be exact), for other things-->immediate repairs, mods, for other business ventures, and of course, maintenance.
di bale na comment ni mom/dad, gusto ko muna i-open sa wife ko ung dillema kong ito....
pls help naman...

if only i have the option to keep the ace and aquire a delica, mas ok na yon (1 city-rounder, 1 hi-way/out-of-towner, and a coding van).
the maxima will be sold na as per mom's notice (biruin nyo P500 of prenium(kulang pa minsan)-->proj.6->AMA university in proj. 8-->uwi, then pag sundo, proj.6->AMA university in proj. 8-->cherry/circle-c/SM north->uwi) ganun katakaw yun..
