Advise on Mitsubishi RVR (Sports Gear)

TIG- Tungsten Inert Gas welding
MIG- Gas metal arc welding

From how i understand it, they bond to the welded metal better then the run-of-the-mill acetelyn welding that most corner shops use. If they use acetelyn, it usually brakes off after some metal fatigue as it is not that well bonded onto the joined metals.

Mukhang nalito kayo mga pards...sorry ha! Actually mukha siya putol na space wagon natin pero sliding door sa gilid tapos liftback...kaya 4 door siya. Meron standard na RVR tapos yung sporty version tawag Sports Gear. Kaya nga kakatuwa nung una namin siya nakita kasi wala masyado nagkalat sa kalye ganito model. Parang cross between van and sedan tapos SUV. Gulo no?

eto itsura niya...checkout niyo website na to (kaso RHD siya dito) http://www.doremotors.co.uk/cars/N68W0666426.htm

Unang bigay sa akin nung dealer is P375k pero kakatawad ko (close friend kasi nung friend ko yung may ari) pumayag sa P300k. tinignan ko current value nito sa local buy and sell P330k-above for a 96 model RVR Sports Gear. Hope good deal to.

2cturboy,
actually all conversions yung a/c vents (foot vent, defrost) does not work anymore, yung sa front lang ng dash gumagana. except when the whole dashboard was changed including everything under it not only the external dash, bihirang-bihira lang ang gumagawa nito since it will be too expensive, hindi na worth it.

ok na yung price, but sure ka ba na gas/turbo yan? not diesel? tapos hindi pa 2 tone?
all RVR i've seen are 4x4. RVR sportgear that I've seen have rear tire rack, full bullbar in front, side moulding, fender flares (kaya sure na 2-tone silver), turbo Diesel, real time 4x4. Baka naman hindi siya sportsgear in-accesorize lang niya

kimpoy,
short wheelbase na spacewagon ito, in the US, "Expo" tawag dyan, body parts are same w/ spacewagon.

thanks hybrid, 2 units yung nakita ko na RVR sports gear (gas and diesel). maybe napagahalo ko na yung specs nung 2. Correct ka sa lahat ng sinabi mo regarding the accesories. Tinawag ko na sa shop just a while ago and sabi nila two tone-sliver na pala to. Further questions:

1. Di ba turbo yung gas RVR Sportgear?
2. Performance wise, should we get a diesel or gasoline unit?
3. In the event na magkaproblema to, me parts kaya available? Ubra ba parts ng space wagon dito?
4. Meron ba sa banawe orig/surplus parts and accesories ng RVR?

Thanks mga demiGods talaga kayo sa auto!

1. Di ba turbo yung gas RVR Sportgear?
I'm not sure about this 1, wala pa ako nakikita na gas-turbo, diesel lang, although meron nagsasabi na may gas-turbo

2. Performance wise, should we get a diesel or gasoline unit?
Depends on what you want, kung performance I think gas will be better, if you want economy, diesel naman

3. In the event na magkaproblema to, me parts kaya available? Ubra ba parts ng space wagon dito?
exterior-wise almost the same sila ng spacewagon w/ the exception of some parts like the sliding door.
engine-wise, kung gas it will be the same as galant dohc 4g63 so safe ka na. kung diesel naman, 4d68 yata yan, not sure about parts since most mitsu engines available locally are 4d56

4. Meron ba sa banawe orig/surplus parts and accesories ng RVR?
If you look hard enough, meron. people have offered me the rear tire rack, I've seen a tailgate, rear plate garnish, among others but not cheap.

Salamat muli, gas turbo daw to kaya most likely gas unit kunin namin.

question lang, paano ko malalaman yung year model (year manufacture) nito from reading the engine and chassis no.? meron ba tayo dito like reference materials for Japanese made CARs and SUVs. Tip naman mga pards.

Thanks!

ownertype,

Tignan mo yung tag sa seatbelt. You'll get a rough idea from there. Yung sa Pajero ko pati yung upuan may manufacturing date, eh. Saka yung likod ng mga sidings may manufacture date din mula sa contractor ng Mitsu.
