but seriously, hindi ko alam kung binababa pa yung makina ng front wheel drive, kung transmission lang ang pinag-iinteresan..
sa rear wheel drive kasi, bell housing lang ang binababa.. hindi ang makina..
Mga pap's sino na po nakaranas ng pigilan ka ng parents mo mag customized ng sasakyan niyo? Aware lang po..
Oo nga siguro pap's nhel tinatawag din po nilang financial mistake, pwede din natin dagdag na hindi nila hilig. Other parents naman kasi pumapayag o ok lang sakanila. Sabihin na po natin na ginamit mo yung money mo which is galing sa job mo. Pero mahirap talga pag ayaw nila wala kang magagawa, unless bumili ng sariling ride hehe..
it's not your car. if the owner says no, then it's a no.
no arguments.
but so you may know...
1. "customized" usually drags down the resale value of the car. the highest resale values, are the stock, un-modified ones. as far as i remember, only big, real diamonds can consistently cause an increase in car resale value.
2. "customized" can cause premature ageing of the car.. because of poor engineering, increased electrical or engine requirements, etc...
3. "napapangitan sila".
4. parents have "been there... done that". and they have developed this un-explainable insight that says, "no".
Hey! even the beatles, were criticized by an old lady... when they gave their rolls a psychedelic paint job. the old lady said to the beatle, "you beast!".

mga sir,
newbie po dito sa tsikot. question po. may replacement po ba para dun sa rubber na nakapalibot sa door? kapag umuulan po kasi may times tumutulo na siya and barag barag na yung rubber. also, ano po ba tawag dun? sensya na newbie palang. hand me down yung oto ko mula sa kuya ko and he's kinda busy now so hindi nya maasikaso. gusto ko sana patinuin yung itsura. thanks in advance.
weatherstrip yata.. sabihin mo, yung goma ng pinto.
merong brand new, at meron surplus..
nakikita kong naka-sabit sa poste sa kathay centers sa evangelista dati..
dalhin mo ang sasakyan kapag bibili.. dapat kasi, ay eksakto ang lapat.. walang putol.. walang sobra..
Maybe sir sa performance upgrades mas mura nila kukunin.. Pero ang pagkakaalam ko po talaga nagdedepreciate ang value ng car depends on the model. kasi yun din po nasabi ng tito ko and based on the standard level of price. Curious lang po ako sa stock body kits pero pwede mo sya enhance by adding fashion, sa mlph ang alam ko marami din po mahilig magcustomized ng kanilang mga pizza..
Sir dr. D, need your help. San ba ok na shop for lancer pizza parts? Particularly yung mga valve seal oil seal and timinh belt. San kasi sabi ng mechanic ko. Pati pla clutch repair kit. Thanks
of course the vast majority of cars depreciate the moment they roll out of the casa.
stock, unmodified cars, are generally easier to sell.. the car manufacturer has already made sure that the car will be palatable to the majority of car buyers' tastes.. the generic buyer.
if the car is customized to the owner's tastes, one would have to look for a buyer who shares that owner's tastes.. and that is not as easy to find as the so-called generic buyer.
car fashion is just like any fashion... they come and go.. what is hot this year, may be laughable 5 years down the road..
personally, when i buy second hand, i look for factory spec.
doubledouble..

naku... hindi ko alam.. for big jobs, pinababayaan ko ang mekaniko na pumili kung saan at anong tatak ang kukunin. hands off ako dyan.. i trust my mechanic, because we go back a long time, and he's the chief mechanic of a big company.. he does my car on weekends..
kapag ako naman ang bibili, kung ano ang kursunada ni mekaniko doon, yun na.. so far, ok naman..
but for timing belt, CASA!
MGA TOL,
QUESTION: na experience niyo na ba yung panel gauge niyo intermittent na gumagana. minsan ok, minsan hindi. although yung fuel and temp, nagana, yung speedometer at yung isa kung ano man tawag dun sa rev nya, hindi. pero minsan ok naman, kaya lang pag inoff mo, nawawala ulit. ano kaya problema? hope you could help me. thanks in advance. i appreciate all the help i can get. inaayos ko kasi yung oto eh, nababoy dati sa mga pinsan.
