2008-2013 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [continued]

[Rockyds]

Takpan mo butas ng mags muna..

Btw parang bitin tingnan pag walang skirt or yung nasa gilid ng pinto na garnish...or baka its just me.

Yung door side moulding ba yun? Pang GTA at MX ata yun, pero ok lang saking wala nun. Bitin nga kasi walang side skirt, naghihintay lang ako ng magbebenta ng stock GTA side skirt.

Yung sa takip ng mags yung centercap ba? Mas gusto ko na yung gnyan na walang takip at napapintura ng black, mas gusto ko plain. Unless makakita siguro ako ng centercap na maganda. :-)

kahit wala na yung garnish.. yung skirt na lang. mas malaki ang pogi points per peso B-)

Yup.. Patience lang, mas gusto ko yung stock ng GTA.

Sige bro patesting. Kahit pasakay lang hehehe. Since mukhang okay naman fc yung acceleration nalang papakirandaman ko. Wag ka na paside mouldings. Side skirts nalang. Di bitin look without it. Yung evo pati ralliart walang side mouldings eh. Nakakaexcite pala tingnan evolution ng mga kotse natin. Sayang wala akong pics nung stock pa ko. Hindi ko marerecord yung growth. Mage97 ako sa next ko. May nakita akong sea oil sa may aurora na sobrang mura. Parang regular unleaded ang presyo.

Hindi ko sure kasi hindi ko pinapansin hehe Pero check ko bukas ng umaga.

BTW guys update sa FC nung nagupgrade ako to 18, kung kahapon 9.5 km/l ako, today sinubukan kong magtipid meaning occacional na lang ang high rev ko, as much as possible hindi lalagpas ng 2.5k RPM lang, naka 10.4 km/l ako from Nova to Taguig, usual route and take note mas traffic pa. So kung same lang ang traffic kahapon na 50% lang baka naka almost 11 km/l pa ako. :-)

[payps21]

Sure pre! Maganda sana bago kung habang wala pang intake or headers :p

BTW Mike, eto na yung naPlastidip na window.

Ayus na yan, yung Evo X nga walang side moulding eh, then again Evo yun haha

[paomig098]

tried 0-100 on my stock lancer 2.0 glx 7.5 sec madumi pa oil nyan i try ko pagkatapos ng 10k check up ko (wag nyong i try kung manghihinayang kayo sa gulong nyo)

Question naman sa mga naka CVT Lancer EX.

I know that a CVT is not designed for a drag launch pero tanong ko lang kung paano ba i-launch for maximum whp output without damaging the transmission. Neutral in rev tapos tsaka ipasok sa gear? Put in gear, step on brake and gas at the same time then release ang brake? Or naka "manual mode" then rev until redline tapos paddle up? TIA.

Kung mag18s ako. Baka matagalan pa lalo pagpalit ko since masmahal ang 18s at ang tires for 18s. MagStock GTA nalang kaya ako? Kaya lang mabigat eh. Nako nako.

ano yung usual FC mo sa route na yan compared dati ng naka 16s ka pa?

[Rockyds]

ano yung usual FC mo sa route na yan compared dati ng naka 16s ka pa?

Dati 8ish to 9ish km/l, swerte na maka 10, mejo mabigat paa, madalas overtake at konting luwag hataw agad.

I just realized nasa bigat din talaga ng paa, ngayon sobrang traffic sa EDSA Quezon Ave to Buendia U Turn to Kalayaan, gapang kung gapang. Pero dahil simula bahay tinry ko tipid mode, basta target ko 2k rpm shift na, bihira umabot ng 2.5k RPM, ayun naka 9.6 km/l pa din ako kahit gapang ng mahaba sa EDSA. Ni hindi ata ako umabot ng 3.5k RPM kanina kahit gigil na ko humataw hehe

3 days Novaliches to McKinley Taguig:

1st day - 9.5 km/l (50% traffic Kamuning to Annapolis, then Boni to Buendia mejo maluwag sa yellow lane kaya minsan nakakasundot dun, mejo mabigat paa)
2nd day - 10.4 km/l (75% traffic Kamuning hanggang Robinson Galleria na, nakakasundot pa din sa Yellow lane, occasional mabigat paa)
3rd day - 9.6 km/l (eto heavy traffic gapang kung gapang simula Quezon Avenue hanggang Buendia na to, kahit sa Yellow lane masikip, super tipid mode ako dito walang high rpm, mostly 2k rpm)

Nagpalit ako from 16 to stock 18s..wala naman pinagbago...kung meron man di ko napapansin..naka 2.0MX pala ko..

good day mga sirs! im new with tsikot.com, ive been following this thread since last week, kasi ive chosen as my first car is a lancer ex, quick question lang po, napansin ko ang laki nang price difference nang mx sa glx, do you think it's much wiser to get the mx version rather than the glx, although mas malaki ang matitipid ko sa glx kesa sa mx parang nakakatempt kasi sakin is the afs and hid headlights, auto climate, gps and the lcd readout, parang nakakastress ang red sabi ko sa sa ko hehe! pag kinuha ko is yung glx, pero the offer for glx is really low, and may free ipad pa, ano sa tingin nyo guys ang mas ok? im used to driving manual naman, yun nga lang it's a Isuzu sportivo, maninibago ba ako sa ride quality nya ie, height, handling smoothness of the ride in general, next question ko po is the fuel consumption or FC nabasa ko ditto sa thread ang FC would be around 8-9 km/l is it at par with other cars in the class? although I know it depends sa driving style, last question po, which do you think is a better color? im looking at silver and black in terms of maintenance in the long run, ano po ba sa tingin ninyo ang mas ok na kulay? thanks in advance, would really appreciate your help kasi im planning to pay na next week. thanks!

As for the color, black is a pain to keep because the smallest piece of dust will be visible on it so you will have to clean it more often. Silver or grey cars tend to be easier to keep clean because dust is not visible on these colors. The same on white colored cars but to a lesser degree.

FC is at par with other 1.6L cars of its class.

If you can afford it, the MX is a better deal since you will get a better overall package including HID headlights, GPS navigation, auto climate, etc. Although you wouldn't miss most of it if you got the lower model car, it is a big plus to have them.

[lisa_mae]

welcome to tsikot!

you got FC wrong, mine is 2.0 and i got the 8-9km/l. you will be getting the 1.6 which plays 10-11km/l.

for color here's the take:
1. gray - noob color, para sa mga taong tamad maglinis ng kotse
2. red - sporty color yun nga lang daming kakulay
3. white - perfect color yun nga lang kakulay mo taxi, pero maganda yung grill na naka blackout + white body combo madali pa lagyan ng carbon fiber
4. black - mawawala yung pagkamacho ng nguso takaw dumihin pa (minus 1pt)

glx vs mx? i'll get the glx anytime (kasi im pretty sure nasa tsikot ka, mag mo mod ka!) and you need lotsa money to do that, for example, unang pinapalitan nung iba is yung stock na 16" wheels to 18" (mga 40-50k agad yun) pero +40 pogi points. tapos may GPS pa yung ipad, yun na kang gamitin mong entertainment system matutuwa pa misis mo (or gf), kung bokya talaga, eh matutuwa sayo nanay mo.

[smityjoe]

haha! mukhang bokya nga ako sa aspeto na yun lisa_mae, and tama kayo dun, the reason why i'm here kasi im planning to mod it, pero not too much naman, ive read from auto industriya that the glx (or mx) is like a blank canvas which I actually affirm to, great for personalizing to suit your taste , though ghosthunter, yun rin yung same reason why I wanted the mx variant, pero ang laki talaga nang difference when it comes to pricing, and the sa is also willing to add a gta spoiler pag roll out kung glx daw ang kinuha ko, hehe! cost-benefit analysis, manghihinayang ba ako in the long run kung glx ang kinuha ko rather than the mx? and then tanong ko na rin, maalaga naman ako sa car, actually spoiled na spoiled sakin yung sportivo and I kinda like the black color in my lancer, babalik ba ang macho points kung before I roll out, mag purchase ako nang chrome inserts in front of the grill, (ala gta style), or bad idea yun? hehe! thanks!

[oliver1013]

Mx na yan...para mags at skirts nalang...ayos na..may 2.0 pa ba na mx...
