    Bago lang po ako dito at walang alam tungkol sa kotse. Pauwi na po ako sa Pilipinas galing dito sa middle east at wala po akong ibang sasakyang magagamit don sa atin kungdi yong Celeste na minana ko sa tatay ko. Itatanong ko lang po sana kung mga magkano kaya aabutin kung ipapa General/Major chek-up/maintenance ko siya like tune-up at iba pa. Can't afford po kasing bumili ng auto, worth pa po ba na ipa "major check-up" ko siya kasama aircon at palitan ang dapat palitan.

    Naibiyahe ko na po yon last year lang from Pangasinan to Makati at swerte namang hindi tumirik yon nga lang tatlong beses akong nag stop-over at on and off ang aircon. Problema pa kasi ay masyadong malikot ang manibela, mahina ang aircon kahit bagong karga ng freon at di mo siya pwedeng iwanan na umaandar ang makina dahil namamatay na lang siya basta.

    Mga magkano po kaya lahat aabutin at kung saan po sa Pangasinan, Tarlac or Pampanga may magaling na shop para sa mga ganitong lumang sasakyan? Pasensiya na po sa dami ng tanong ko pero kailangan ko po talaga ang opinyon ninyo.

    Maraming salamat po

    Welcome to tsikot. I recall when I was a child ay gandang-ganda po ako sa Mitsubishi Celeste. Very aerodynamic ang body niya during it's time.

    As for the cost depende po sa dami ng sirang makikita. Maganda po siyang project na i-restore ang inyong car. with the malikot na manibela baka po wala sa balance ang tires or kailangan na ng alignment. Also have the suspension parts checked and lubricated. Sa engine naman po ay try to have it tuned-up. Kung kumakain na ng langis or masyadong mausok ay baka kailangan na ng overhaul. Your mechanic can assess this. Regarding sa aircon baka po mayproblem ang idler-up ninyo kaya madaling mamatay. Have it checked. Pwede din pong baka may problem na ang compressor kaya minsan ayaw lumamig. Also check for hose leaks, auxillary fan and cooling system which may also contribute to your problems. Goodluck.

    Salamat po sa reply. posible din bang palitan ang transmission ng celeste ko ng 5 speed kasi 4 speed lang yon kaya pag naka 100 na ang speed niya ay ang ingay na ng makina.

    I am not sure about 5-speed transmission options for the Celeste pero kung may available po then it's very possible.

    Celeste (I think) have saturn engine ng mitsubishi (else Astron model)...both are very good ones...

    Opinion ko lang: Carb mo needs cleaning lang....DIY mo....get a carburator cleaner spray....remove the carb filter cover/casing, run the engine and spray the carb until malinis na....sometimes you need to rev it up para mahigop ang dumi...

    You'll see a significant improvement.

    Sa tune up (pa palit mo na lahat na dapat - air filter, contact points, fuel filter, oil filter, oil and spark plugs)....ang suggestion ko sa mitsubishi casa mo dalhin (baka meron pa silang mechaniko duon na sanay sa old school cars like celeste) malamang meron din silang service manual duon ng celeste para maiset ng tama ang mga tuppets (intake and out valve), dwell angle, contact point clearance and spark plug clearance.

    Konti lang ang ikamamahal ng casa....kesa sa mechanikong pupol!!!

    Then ipacheck mo na rin ang suspension system, brake system, aircon and wheel alignment (duon na rin sa casa kun kaya nila - else sa goodyear servitek could do that).

    Mahina ang P15,000 on all of this changes....but I can assure you na mas safer na ang oto mo pag lahat ng dapat palitan ay pinalitan at ginawa.

    My 2 cents.

    Kun low budget ka...i-DIY mo pero ganun din....marami ka pang oras na gugugulin

    maraming salamat po sa mga suggestions ninyo at mas maganda nga sigurong dalhin sa mitsubishi casa baka nga sakaling mas maganda ang magiging resulta lalo na kung konti lang naman pala ang itataas ng babayaran... actually naisip ko na rin po dati na dalhin siya sa casa kaso medyo worried ako na baka tawanan nila ang kotse ko dahil antique na :mrgreen:

    Kunwari...proud owner car ng mga classic collectable cars na meron history ng street drag racing capability...and now you're trying to "rebuild" it as a project car....he,he,he:lol::lol::lol:

    But honestly, the Celeste is a good project car...lalo na kung this was still in an almost original state (condition)....my current project car is an 80 Toyota Starlet....hope to finish it within the year...paipon-ipon lang ng kaunti for the budget.

    Ang velocity at blaze ay unleaded din. High octane nga lang. Bawal na ang leaded gas dito.

    Either would do since your Celeste I believe was designed to run for an octane rating less than the current lowest in the market (93 RON). Walang effect kahit alin. Mas makamumura lang kayo on the long run with cheapest unleaded gas available from the cheapest gas station which is usually one of the small oil players (Unioil, Total, Sea Oil, PTT, Jetta, Flying V, City Oil, etc...). Or even cheaper from those who sell from "paihi trucks" or backyard gas stations selling smuggled fuel.

    see!!! classic yang oto ninyong iyan....kun ako sa iyo...hingin mo na lang sa magulang mo at ipaayos mo sa konti mong naipon na pera. I'd say you could spend as much as P60K for show room finish ng body works and paints (mga P10-30K kung ordinary lang) and perhaps another P20K-30K for the aesthetics like mags, new upholstery, or new racing seats, power steering conversion, power windows, power locks, kung cable type pa ang clutch mo you can convert to hydraulic para magaang sa paa, kun di pa hydrovac ang preno pede mo ring i-convert.

    You could go extreme engine mods or even change engines (yung pang evo...na 2.0L :mrgreen: ) of course don't forget to upgrade your brakes if you upgrade your power (baka mabilis ka ngang tumakbo pero ayaw ka naman tumigil :lol::lol

    Ideas are extreme...depende na lang sa budget mo.

    If you have about P100k to spare to that car....grabe na ang improvement mo....

    my 2 cents.
