Mitsubishi Grandis [Merged]

[j4ever]

*J medyo naguluhan lang ako. So you purchased a new key + immobilizer from Citimotors tama? So yung sa Mr. Quickie nagpaggawa ka pa ng additional set?

Bro Raf,

Yes I purchased the key the with immobilizer chip kaso ako na ang nagpatabas sa Mr. Quickie nung susi kasi yung bago wala pang tasa. Ayaw pa nga nung una sa Mr. Quickie kasi daw hindi gumagana yung ibang susi na nagpakopya sa kanila. Sabi ko hindi talaga gagana yan kasi kailangan pa i-program. Pagkatapos kopyahin, sinubukan nung taga Citimotors kung kaya niya susian yung pinto tsaka yung sa sasakyan. Nung pumasok naman at nasusian, tsaka pa nila pinrogram para mapatakbo naman yung makina....

*J now I get it. Weird that dapat diba when you buy the key sila na dapat mag fit nya. Well buti na lang at ok na yan and hirap talaga pag walang spare.

[j4ever]

Raf,

Medyo matanda na kasi yung service advisor kaya hirap na maglakad ng medyo malayo hehehe...actually ka-close ko na yung advisor nila tsaka kakain din kasi kami malapit sa Mr. Quickie kaya ipinadala niya na yung susi. Ako na rin nga nagbayad sa Mr. Quickie hehehe...

[rafmac]

well baka nga mas makakatipid ka and ho knows maybe may extra charge pa to have them cut the key for you

Why did they stop selling the Grandis? what are the plans of Mitsubishi Motors?

The Grandis will be released with the latest version just as Rafmac posted the pic/link by July/August of this year. Similarly to what Bro Raf posted, the body cladding, bumper, rims will be the notable enhancements...so until then we'll just have to let a few months pass...HTH.

Ah okay. Thanks bro. Can't wait to see the latest Grandis. I thought tuluyan na nawala.

It's ok Bro. You're welcome. It's good to know hindi siya mawawala though it was also mentioned that MMPC will only order not much in terms of volume due to less sales of this luxury MPV compared to their bestseller the Monty...

[rafmac]

Sana nga they release the updated version. I've seen it when I travel abroad and ok sya and looks sporty. The Grandis that was previously sold here is the GLS trim in our ASEAN neighbors which pretty much have the similar specs and nagkakaiba lang is the HU kasi here its AVT. There is also the GT spec Grandis which I posted earlier. aside from the bigger rims and body kits it also has a power liftgate and different interior. If they release that version baka lang tumaas ang presyo.

Kamusta na pala mga Grandis nyo? Dsmi bang byahe during the holidays?

[spat]

In my case, baka minsan nalang magamit yung grandis kung matuloy pakabitan ng lpg kit yung innova

[rafmac]

Sayang Spat and magiging garage queen yung Grandis mo. Kamusta ba FC ng Innova mo? Just a question sa engine power, di ba hirap yung 2.0l engine nya kasi medyo mabigat yung Innova? Kasi if you put in an LPG kit, baka you'll loose some power since LPG generates less power compared to Gasoline

[j4ever]

So far so good for my Grandis turning 6 years this year...wala pa namang problema. Siguro yung gulong lang papalitan ko once lumitaw na yung thread wear indicator.

*Spat,

Bro papaconvert mo ng LPG Innova mo? Yung mga nauna unit namin ng Innova at Avanza naka-dual na pagkadeliver ng Toyota pero feedback ng mga katrabaho ko malakas din daw sa LPG kaya gasolina na lang pinapakarga nila. Medyo malaking space din kinakain ng tangke sa likod...

[rafmac]

*J, are you still using the OEM tires? If yes, better change them soon as tires also have an expiry date. Even if your thread patterns are still thick, but if your tires are old, there is a greater chance that it might fail you.

I think the advantage of using LPG is that its almost 1/2 the cost of unleaded gasoline, but since it is less potent than gas, the engine would need a lot more LPG to generate spark

[spat]

Rafmac, gagamitin pa din naman. During weekends nalang siguro. Not for daily hatid sundo sa school. Or might as well buy a new vehicle for hatid sundo and sell the innova. Hehehe

J, almost same consumption daw ng gas at lpg kaya ok lang. Space naman doesnt matter kasi barely may nakasakay sa likod. Usually mga 4 or 5 lang. There is always the grandis kung pito ang sasakay. Hehehe

Hindi ko natanong Raf kung kelan pa yung gulong pero makapal pa naman gaya ng sabi ng first owner. I already had one tire vulcanized at Good Year Servitek late last year. Pinarotate ko na rin. Ok pa naman daw sabi nung taga Servitek. Is there a way to determine if a tire needs to be replaced not basing on the thread wear indicator. Medyo mahal pa naman ang Turanza nasa 6,500 ang isa nung nagtanong ako sa Bridgestone.

Pansin ko lang din pag LPG hindi ganun kalakas ang hatak at arangkada lalo na kung paahon. Nagtaas pa naman ang presyo ng gas lately...

[rafmac]

*J aside from the thread wear indicator, may manufacturing date that is printed sa may sidewall. I think pag over 4 years na ang gulong may tendency to become brittle kaya advice is to replace it kahit makapal pa. AS for Bridgeston mahal talaga ang Turanza since its marketed as one of their luxury lines kasi it is supposed to run quiter. I suggest you look around and marami namang ok na brands. Toyo or Dunlop are ok and not that expensive

As for LPG, yan ang characteristic ng LPG, it is less potent that gas kaya masmahina ang spark and to compensate the engine needs to burn more LPG.

Hi Rafmac

Could you please send me the link of the new Grandis that MMPC will release this year. Im also one of those who is waiting for the new Grandis in our market.

thank you in advance for the link

[rafmac]

Im not sure if mmpc will release a new variant, but google the mitsubishi thailand website and you will the different versions

[jader]

thanks rafmac, Grandis is really nice! Hopefully MMPC will bring one of those existing Grandis variants from thailand (GT or GLS Limited)

[rafmac]

Sana nga they bring it, but maybe it will take a while kasi MMPC are focusing on launching new variants and models first such as the Mirage, smaller dispacement Lancer EX and the stripped down Montero and maybe a diesel Fuzion so baka hindi nila priority the Grandis

[rafmac]

*J re: the tires may nakita ako while looking for bigger rims and tires. Same specs as the OEM nasa 3.9k to 4.1k per tire(dunlop lm703)
