2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [ARCHIVED]

[aldskie`]

mas trip ko pa rin ang lancer gt-a kesa dun sa bagong labas na ASX, may outlander 08 na kmi kaya tama lang na para sa next buy sedan naman ...


until what year ba magiging ganyan itsura ng lancer ex models natin? early next year kami buy... para ayos ang pag bili hehe!

[magister]

ui guys it's me again, help nyo naman ako pls, ask ko lang kung ntatanggal ba yung cover ng oem seats ng gt-a? sobrang dumi na kasi gusto ko na palabhan.. waiting for your help friends.. thanks in advance po..

if you mean seat covers, kaya tangallin yan ng kahit anong car wash.

kung yung seat fabric mismo, Big Berts Detailers, for example, can clean them for you. hindi tinataggal ito. the zippers behind the front seat are there to allow access to the airbags for the GT-A model.

[magister]

Sir, bakit xcs? akala ko kasi unleaded dapat karga nito? never pa ako nakapaglagay ng di unleaded. pwede pala to?

by law, all fuels sold in the Phil have to be ''unleaded''. thus, the XCS variant is also ''unleaded''.

I am expecting the replacement for the Lancer EX to arrive in 2012.

The best siguro ang 95octane sa 4B11,but its says on the manual that 91octane is ok.wag na tyong tataas sa 95,kase may tinatawag silang "Octane Overdose".

Thanks mga sir, sinubukan ko na kanina xcs..

No such thing. Absolutely no car will suffer ill effects from using 95 to 97 octane fuel.

Now if it's 107 octane racing fuel, that may be bad for your oxygen sensors, but that's another matter, entirely.

I have a GT-A and I use V-power exclusively. Never ko pa nakita tumapak yung average consumption ko ng 8 kms/L on city driving mostly. (Nag 10/11 kms/L na 'to nung nag Pampanga kami ng family.)
Question: Reliable ba yung reading sa trip computer?

[giqiri]

share ko lang. nagmaneho ako last weekend 100 to 120km/hr paliku liku. biglang umilaw yung light ng abs at yung chech engine warning. dinala ko sa casa, may problema daw yung speed sensor sa gulong sa kaliwa sa harap. papalitan daw at covered pa ng warranty. isa pa, di gumagana yung am nung radyo ko. papalitan daw nila yung unit. buti ok kausap casa...

Question: Reliable ba yung reading sa trip computer?

Trip computer economy is relatively accurate, but usually off by about 5-10%. The most reliable is to use the trip meter and full tank test (full tank, first click. Reset trip meter. Drive around. Refill at the exact same fuel pump. Full tank. First click). Even though trip meters and odometers can be off by 2-4%, it's still a more accurate method than using the trip computer.

Sharing our newly installed seat cover from Boy C.

Mesh fabric yung gitna. leatherette yung gilid...



Side note (re: MITSU Otis!!)
-Normal ba na nag mo-moist ang headlamps ng EX? nag moist kasi yung samin and according sa SA eh NORMAL lang daw yun since plastic daw ang material nun. Tinanong namin bakit yung Altis naman namin eh di nag momoist? Bubog daw kasi yun? which is in fact eh plastic din naman. And nung nag moist one time yung sa Altis eh pinalitan agad ng CASA.
-Isa pa eh yung Maintenance schedule sa display panel. yung samin kasi eh nag pr-prompt kagad sya for 1k km periodic maintenance kahit 700km palang tinakbo so dinala ng mom ko sa Casa para i reset or i-reprogram. guess what kung ano ginawa ng SA... Dinisable nalang. eh di useless na yung feature na yun?
-isa pa. Just a while ago. umilaw yung battery check namin. nag po-prompt din na "Battery Service". ano kaya cause nun? low power? for a mo. old EX?

[ghosthunter]

My headlights never developed moisture inside.

As for the service warning feature... it will trigger that early at 700km for the 1000km service. You can reset it to the next service interval or simply disable it.

As for interior mods for my EX GLS, I had the faux wood trim on the dash & front doors reworked by ZWORKS.

My trim is now real carbon fiber. Looks great and has depth in it.

The plastic CF trim in the GTA doesn't look as nice.

At least now my car doesn't have that old man feel from the faux wood trims.

[bluerolla]

^^

How much did it cost you to replace the faux wood trim to CF trim?
and san mo din pinagawa?

TIA!

ZWORKS did the job (I did mention it in my previous post)

Price was P7,000.

But I had to leave my faux wood trims with them for almost three weeks.

Note: the carbon fiber is overlaid/bonded on the original fuax wood plastic trims.

My EMOTION coil-over & adjustable shocks' adjustment extensions arrived and were installed yesterday.

So adjusting the shock rates is now as easy as turning a knob (in the engine bay or trunk). I have currently found a setting that is good for spirited driving yet comfortable.

Hi guys, medyo matagal nako di nakakapag-log dito, hehehe. Quick question lang:

My GTA is almost 3 years old and I'm planning oh having it repainted, saan maganda magpa-repaint? Baka po may suggestions kayo. Baka may ma-suggest rin pala kayong modifications to make it look fresh and new. ;)
