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

[mars_paruli]

Guys, we are planning to upgrade our old altis to the new Lancer EX. Which dealer do you think is the best to get one from? What packages (freebies, discounts, etc.) were you able to get?

Please PM me.

Thanks

Mars

Question..
Ano difference ng GT and GT-A?
Darating kaya dito sa atin yung Lancer Ralliart?.. pang tapat daw sa impreza..

Thanks!

The GT loses the following items from the GT-A:

1.) Rockgate Fosgate Audio System ( 9 speakers + 4 tweeters + subwoofer). GT comes with an OEM 6 CD HU with 6 speakers + 2 tweeters.

2.) GT's airbags are dual front + driver's knee.

3.) Auto rain-sensing wiper + auto lighting controls

4.) Automatic Transmission. GT comes in manual transmission only.

Congratulations on the new Lancer sups.

Moipogi, do you have pics of the leather seat cover? Makakagawa kaya sila ng seat cover for the GTA? May side airbags kasi eh.

this side airbag thing has me confused a lot sir...
nakalagay kasi sa manual,mayroon tag na SRS/Airbag sa side ng seat if there is such an airbag installed,otherwise it should be a curtain running from the pillars.even mitsu here cannot tell me where these things are since i told them i'm interested on getting leather covers too.
i hope some guys sa mitsu dyan kayang mag-elaborate

*sups, congrats pala... let us know when you have your ride!

(((IMO)))
as far as the leather seat covers are concerned, share ko lang po. i have a friend who installed leather seat covers for his Outlander GLS Sport with seat installed side airbags [SIZE=1](which is different from the side curtain airbags deployed across the side window).[/SIZE] What he specifically requested from the shop was not to tighten the stitch at the side to aide in the seat installed side airbag deployment. But i believe that SAs who are selling the Lancer GT-A and other models with the seat installed side airbag should educate the customer about the airbag installed should not have seat covers in the first place... i saw the memo and i'm wondering if you guys were advised. it's anyone's risk once installed. what i know, the seat installed side airbags and the curtain airbags work in unison to help the occupants in side impact protection and deployed upon impact. it is also highly advisable NOT to lean on the window/door for slouching or sleeping as anyone who does will get along the way of the airbag deployment. i hope this helps. thanks

I discussed this with the Leder Interia owner, and he said it could be done. All they have to do is put in thinner stitches on the places where the airbags are located. That way, the bags can rip through the upholstery when they are deployed.

Thanks moipogi, where is their shop located? Para masilip ko na rin yung trabaho nila. Pagsasawaan ko muna yung seats ko bago ko lagyan ng covers, hehehe. Did they also put covers on the doors as well as the compartment near the hand brake?

Tama kayo, kasi may SRS Airbag label yung fronts seats ng GTA.

[Biggs]

Mga tsong, saan ba may nakasulat na Made in Japan ito? Hinahanap ko sa ilalim ng driver at passenger doors at sa loob ng engine bay pero wala akong makita.

[alainroyce]

Lancer EX MX owner, anyone here convert their head unit to touch screen? if anyone interested just PM me for the pricing..like the one in citimotors..

[magister]

I also tried the K&N Drop in Filter on my car. Galing sa Outlander ng Bro-in-Law ko. Not much difference. I think umingay lang sya. hehehe

sir, saan kayang shop available itong K&N drop in filter? any idea how much this costs?

thanks!

hello peeps,
on the side airbag issue, i talked to the upholsterers accredited by my mitsu dealer here in ny concerning the same issue...regarding my outlander and a friend's lancer
he head guy said that the leather seat covers they make have a gap where the srs airbag tags actually stick out and are stitched lighter compared to the rest of the seatcover and have an allowance of 1cm on each side of the srs tag

Nilagyan ko ng covers kasi sobrang dumihin yung seat material ng Lancer. Yung compartment pinalahyan ko rin ng takip para match. I'll post pics when I get the chance. . .

masyadong matagtag ung new lancer 2008. cguro sa 18" rims. tps rinig mo pa ung road noise... mahina ang sound prof ng lancer..

yeh right! on 18" rim talagang matagtag but the handling and grip is superb (parang BMW M series) .. parang mas ok yun 16" tama lang almost same grip.. i test drive yesterday using the display unit GT-A and MX... pero with the GT-A bucket seat all i can say is wow! swak na swak ako dun....they offer me the old price GT-A.. nag increase na daw kasi from 1.125M to 1.198M less 10k sa new price.. tama ba yun?

[oliver1013]

Alainroyce san yun dealer na nag offer ng old price? Baka ako offeran din kasi sa pinuntahan ko new price na ang quote sakin

sakto lang ba ung rim 16" sa lancer gt? hindi ba aabot sa disk break? plan ko 2loy palitan ung 18" rims ko. pero sayang naman..
