Guys...

We have a Mitsubishi Adventure Club site... where the discussion is mostly related to the Adventure... here is the site:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mitsu_adventure/


I might be biased but I think comparable na ang suspension ng bagong Adventure with all the other AUV's in the market... (I find mine better than my friend's Revo SR and another friend's XUV... I might be biased :o ... btw I have a 2002 Super Sports, Manual, Gas)...
Napansin ko lang kasi sa Diesel (even on my friend's XUV) parang ramdam na ramdam mo yung vibration ng engine sa loob... parang iba yung feeling compared sa Gas engines...

What I hate about my Adventure? the sobrang tigas of the Clutch and the Gas pedal...
yung Gas pedal tolerable ko pa... yung sa clutch grabe... help naman Doc Diesel, pano yung mod ng springs? puwede din ba sa clutch? san kaya puwede pagawa?... :|

[pajerokid]

Concentrated?

Lakas laming talaga! Bilis sira naman!

Yung 1998 pizza pie lancer ng bestfriend ko halos nasa off na yung thermostat lever, malamig pa rin.

Kaya lang noung yr2000 palit na siya ng evaporator. butas agad!

Same with my L200.

Lui,

Yung 3rd row seat ng bagong adventure malaki na yung space...Yan ang isa sa mga una ko tinignan bago ako nagdecide...on the previous model, tumatama yung ulo ko sa ceiling pag umupo ako sa likod...ngayon okay na sya, very comfortable...I stand 6' btw...

[chieffy]

na-drive ko sandali yung mitsu adventure a/t ni miogi sandali(from washbay to parking nga lang :lol: ) okay naman yung ride...nagpa-convert siya upuan....






pina-undercoat pa niya yesteday...



doc baka may ma-i-share ka sa amin...

[Hero]

ang ganda ng seats!..magkano naman nagastos nya?...mukang lumilinaw ang choice!!!

[miogi]

Chieffy,

Hey thanks a lot for the ultimate in undercoat servicing, the best! ?Worth it talaga! Libre pa drinks and pizza, pati kids ko gusto na pumunta sa iyo weekly. Try ko rin pa undercoat the other cars, a corolla and the diesel adevnture.
You also did a great job on the crv. Thanks again pare!

Anyway, its my first time to post here. Been reading lang, buti wala ng pop-ups!

Hero,

The adventure seat conversion costs 35k at Seat mate in Mandaluyong. The front bench seat was converted to captain's seat with individual arm rests. Second row seats were placed on the third row, pinutulan ng kaunti para di tumama sa wheel wells. Two new captain's seats were placed on the second row with arm rests din. If you watch the Kia Carnival commercial sa tv, you'll get the picture of what I mean.

Ride is definitely better than the 98-00 models. I know this since I had a diesel 2000 model. Advice ko lang is to get the gas AT if fuel is not a prime consideration or if you put premium on driving comfort. Depende kasi kung ikaw ang mag-drive or passenger ka lang. Diesel offers great fuel economy, kaya lang it really taxes me easily especially kung traffic. Weigh things clearly kung ano ang needs mo before you take the plunge. Nagsawa ako sa diesel bec of the vibration and usok.

Miogi,

Ang ganda ng ginawa mo sa Adventure mo! Very elegant ng dating ng interior mo. Question lang: Kasama na ba yung seat covers and the 2 new Captain seats sa 35K? Gaano katagal inabot ng conversion?

[pajerokid]

miogi::: Ganda seats mo pre!

[miogi]

Thanks for appreciating the seats. It was actually Chieffy's idea to post it, maganda nga daw. Class daw ang dating. All inclusive na sa 35k: all seats (including conversion) and seat covers. Actually 29,500 without the seat covers, so ginawang 35k flat para may discount na sa seat covers. Worth it talaga! Began to realize this when my kids would camp out there at the third row seats. I was skeptical at first regarding leg room doon, of course, I tried myself ok pala. Its not as cramped as the crv's third row-malayo. The third row folds and tumbles, but you have to remove the head rests to do that. The second row slides fore and aft and reclines. Nagamit ko rin yung lap belts sa 2nd row. Di ko na napalagyan ng seat belts since walang provision sa B pillar unlike the REVO na meron. I still want additional lap belts for the third row, but saka na yon. No skimping on safety. People at the mitsu casa liked it too--saying na baka maglabas din daw ng ganun in the future.

Bluesman68,

Took almost a week to convert it. First, I needed the car for work, so they had to remove all seats. Had to drive the car with everybody on the floor. Second, sinusukatan nila well to get all the necessary diemensions, no room for error since puputulan nila yung front bench seats and 2nd row bench seats.

Professional naman ang mga tao doon. They also supply converted seats for Nissan Serena, Revo, Isuzu. Minsan kasabay ko si Benjie Paras with his Expedition. I also saw a Kia Sedona being converted there supervised by Kia motors staff--which meant the car left the casa without the would-be owner knowing it!

I also have the 2002 SS model. . . . .

One thing I noticed about the new adventure is the stiff accelerator pedal. On long drives and traffic, you would surely feel pain in your feet due to the prolonged pressure on the pedal.

I remedied it by fabricating a new accelerator spring, the one that is controlling the stiffness of the pedal. From 2.5mm thickness, I made it into 2.0mm. Now it feels so good to drive it around even on long distance. And with more power you can feel.

Doc Diesel

Sir Doc Diesel, saan pwede makakuha ng fabricated accelerator spring mo ? tama ka, grabe talga tigas ng pedal na yan....sakit nga pag longdrive.......

Gambit5,

Already emailed you. Chieffy did mention you also had your adventure undercoated at his station.

As of now, Chieffy is staying put at the station. Everybody thoght hanggang Nov. 15 na lang sila, but apparently nobody is reay to take over. Kaya for those who wish to get the ultimate in undercoating, drop by lang kayo sa ADR station ni Chieffy.
