Mitsubishi Grandis [Merged]

[rafmac]

Just got back from Tagaytay yesterday. Sarap and no traffic, i guess everyone was watching the boxing match and it took less than an hour to reach Tagaytay from Greenhills. Ang mura den ng gas premium fuel was at 49.85 per liter. Also enjoyed good fc at almost 11 km per ltr

[j4ever]

That's pretty good FC. Mukhang sa Tagaytay ka nanood ng laban ni Manny. Good thing the prices of fuel are slowly going down. Oo nga pala, may bago ba sa Grandis mo?

Salamat in advance.

*Raf,

Wala pa ulit akong pinakabit bro hehehe


*Niner,

You can inquire with Mervin at 7113641. His store is Blueline Car Acc located at Banawe. He once told me about a tuner that displays crisp pictures. Yun nga lang medyo mahal tsaka lagi daw out of stock. HTH.

[rafmac]

*j any plans for new upgrades?

*niner saan ba location mo so thar mas madali mag recommend. Best ang pioneer tv tuner but its expensive nasa 3k up last I checked. Avt also offers goodquality oicture and maliit na footprint ng antenna and you will hardly notice ut. It should cost less than 1.7k

[j4ever]

Wala pa Raf eh. My sister's officemate was suggesting na palitan ko na yung front bumper ko kaso it was estimated at around 10K ang cost...

[Niner]

Salamat mga bro.

j4ever, tawagan ko si Mervin sa Blueline.

rafmac, sa QC area ako. Where can you get the pioneer and avt tuners?

TY

Niner any audio shop would do, try sun x sa teachers village from east ave go to v luna and straight lang, after the intersection ng kalayaan turn left and sya yung shop sa corner. Ayaw o kasi pumuntang banawe but marami naman nagoofer nyan sa banawe try Nihhon, Maspro or Ginza, but if you dont like to go to Banawe i would recommend sun x

[spat]

Yung AVT ba sa winterpine? If yes, niner pwedeka ding pumunta sa winterpine araneta avenue
di ko lang alam kung malapit ka doon. malaki kasi ang qc e
Kung alpine naman, sa perfect circle ako pumupunta.
Meron din akong binibilhan dati sa araneta avenue malapit sa winterpine. Araneta Car Accessories ang pangalan. Taga Grupo Toyota yung amo dun. si Jeff

HTH

[rafmac]

Spat Winterpine and distributor ng avt minsan. Ga lang ang dami lagi nagpapagawa

[spat]

Kung AVT ang bibilhin,sa winterpine nalang since sila ang distributor para less hassle kung may warranty claim

[Niner]

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have to postpone this first. Naatrasan ng dump truck Grandis ko. Basag yung right side rear windows and deformed yung door. Baka may suggested body repair shop kayo outside of the casa. Nag lapse na insurance nung car.

[rafmac]

Niner saan ka malapit so that mas madali mag recommemd. Yikes at nakakainis yan. Yung may ari ng truck magbabayad?

[j4ever]

Kumusta na rafmac/spat? Kumusta na Grandis natin? Tumaas na naman ang gasolina tsk tsk tsk. Mine's 'doin well. Just had a scare when I wasn't able to use the car for almost three weeks due to habagat. When I checked the car, nag-uumpisa nang amagin yung loob particularly the car seats. Also, my frequent visitor, the rats kept visiting under the hood even finishing all the racumin I prepared for them. So I went to the car wash to have it cleaned. I also availed the engine wash but when I got out, the transmission was having problems. The N and D lights up simultaneously then the car wouldn't move. I went to the manual tranny but it doesn't go up or down too. So went straight to Citimotors to have it checked. After a few days, the SA cannot find the problems I've encountered. They said it must have been caused by the engine wash done that had the sensors wet causing it to malfunction so when the water dried up, everything went back to normal. I then have them cleaned the interior to thoroughly remove the molds and mildews. We then tested the car to Batangas and back and found everything to back to normal...

[rafmac]

J kamusta na? Long time na ren. Be wary of doing engine wash lalo na that our cars are heavy on the electronics kaya ang advice is to have it engine detailed. As for you rat problem pag umuulan they look for dark and warm spots kaya ideal yung engine bay so dapat talaga hanapin mo yung source.

Since sunod sunod and ling weekend puro byahe. Brought the car to Tagaytay and Subic at least nakakatabo ng mabilis especially sa nlex and sctex where mas disciplined and motorists and mas mahaba. I was even averaging more than 130 at some stretches buti na lang di nahuli. Took advantage of the cheap gas sa subic and it costs more than 3 pesos less. Fuel consumption during those trips were around 10 km ltr

Ano bago sa unit mo? I bought a garmin gps which is really handy not just for maps but for other information. Like yung speed sa odometer natin nasa 100kmh pero sa gps it registers mga 90. Planning to put clear tint sa windshield to deflect heat kasi ang laki ng windshield natin. the likes of 3m clear and v kool costs mga almost 10k. Still tempted to change the wheels and rims. Mahal lang mag 18's and nasa 9k per tire

[j4ever]

Good to hear yours is fine. I drove test the car going to Batangas specifically in Star Toll where I reached 140 at some points. One Camry was trying to overtake me when I ran past him but I just let him pass and maintained my speed at 120 due to safety reasons. I was also using Garmin GPS and I have no complaints so far. I also noticed the discrepancy in its speed with the odometer. I had the car tinted at LA Cars where they have their own tint room with a Medium Neutral Llumar Brand. It comes with a 5-year warranty. Sayang nga nakalimutan ko palagyan ng dark strip tint yung upper portion ng windshield. Medyo nabawasan nga lng yung intensity ng head/fog lights when you look inside pero I agree it helps a lot in the heat rejection.

Wala pa akong bagong ikinabit sa kotse. Like you I was tempted at first with the mags/tires pero since maganda na naman siya, ok na rin sa akin yung stock. Maapektuhan kasi yung ride niya aside from mahal din ang aabutin. Still happy with the Seaoil Extreme I am using so far. Regards.

*j kamusta na your rat problems? Noticeable nga yung discrepancy ng ng speedo natin and sa garmin which helps lalo na sa nlex and sctex because of the speed limit kasi all the while kala mo 100 kmh ka but 90 lang pala. Can't complaint about the power and sarap lang i hataw kasi di mo magawa dito sa Manila.

Im having mine tinted near greenhills den Llumar den yung brand and its almost clear yung itsura. Sa may santolan road sya and like Sa LA may airconditioned tint room den sila

[j4ever]

*Raf,

I'm still observing an engine spray that has the smell that rats dislike making them not go under your car's hood. I will be observing it for two weeks and I will give feedback whether effective or not. Ok naman yung Llumar clear din pinakabit ko sa harap...

[spat]

Wala bago sa grandis. Ay meron pala. Bangga sa bumper. Hahaha
