New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[WenG2]

based on my budget, i may be able to stretch it out to a VCT Corleone 22's at 160k.

now it's a tougher decision for me to make. if i will borrow your analogy, its either an Accel 22's or a Nike 20's

[XTO]

Just want to share mine at AMCAR Sta Rosa Laguna. php5,528.46 all in all that includes Oil Filter=P927.36 Rags=3pcs P11.10 Mitsubishi Turbo XP= 9ltrs x P510= P4590.00. All i thought 8ltrs lang but inabot pala ng 9ltrs.

sir i think 9 liters is so much for the 2.5L because my 3.2 was filled only with 2 gallons of turbo xp during the 1K PMS.

Weng2.. that's really not what i meant. you asked between brands.. not between models/sizes. If you use my analogy again, it would be like saying your foot size is 10.. with accel you can get a size 10 of a shoe you like, but at nike the one that you like is only a size 9.. So its like you're settling to get it smaller size just because it nike. of course you can't take it super literal, other than nike vs accel only as a brand.

In this case, even if they are the TIS 20" you really like, when you put it on your car compared to the vct 22' you've choosen from your list, you would totally see the difference, and you would've even give the 20s a 2nd look.

Again guys, just like migs, i'm not trying to step on anybody's foot or insult anybody, this is just a personal preference. And i hope i can help enlighten those people who are having similar problems in choosing between 20'' or 22''. But like i said, if you're going for the offroad/rugged look, 20'' are fine.. like the volk racing styles or similar.

hi jpg111,

wala ako masyado alam sa car kc, is that something we need to worry about and watch out if we're also to have our 5k pms? or sakit ba yan ng MS?

nop but irritating........ have your engine and tranny rubber support replaced with hard one and the entire truck vibrates. i did. i shake everytime i start and accelerate but better than the THUG sound....

[easyman3]

Nothing to worry about..nope di sakit ng MS, isolated case lang that happened to an owner of a MS..No problem about it ..Enjoy your monty

"isolated case" is a bit non factual..... marami kami.......... now watch your front brake pads just before you are 20,000km.... it will absolutely happen....isolated? test it.....

Maybe this is what they did when i had my 5K PMS.. Grabe vibration, its like sitting inside a delivery truck..buti na lang naayos nila, tahimik na inside way much better than before & buti na lang i didnt have the THUG issue on my monty

Agree with XTO, my 1K PMS they only charged me for 8 liters then may sumobra pa na konti which is isinoli sa akin. It cost Php5,300++ sa Diamond Motors Marcos Highway. unless hindi na-drain ng maayos tapos naglagay kaagad ... hmmm ano ba talaga ... sige nga let us check sa manual kung how much oil tlaga ....

+1.
if i were you weng, mag 22s ako! haha!!
ako plan ko, pag out of town (pagudpud, zambales etc.)
balik ko sa stock mga rims ko.
(that is if you don't trade in your stock rims pag kukuha ka ng 22s)
pag everyday lang gamit (sa school, office etc.)
22s para lahat ng mga nakakakita kay monty haha!!

"bengkong" only happens when potholes are so deep,
and also parang sinasadya mo sirain yung rims (based on my experience)
dati sa ibang oto ko, naka 35 series. (235/35/19)
one night medyo lasing ako (nagkwento pa talaga eh )
nadaan ko accidentally yung oto sa ginagawang daan,
the road was crazy, ang lalalim ng holes (i was going 60-70 km/h)
the chin fell of, the bumper got messed up, the undercarriage got really messed up, the coilovers were messed up etc.

but the rims were still in good condition.
the rims were only rota, (i think steel ang ginagamit ng rota)
most manufacturers use alloy w/c is stronger and lighter.
but in my case, rota lang nakalagay. but they were still okay.

so ayun, mag 22s kana kasi weng!!! hahaha!!

onga sir XTO, sa mga nabasa ko nga dito eh 8ltrs lang. i guess nautakan ako sa resibo ah.. tsk.. nasabik kase ako nung pagkatapos ng maintenance eh.. gusto ko na agad harurutin! hehehe.. hindi ko na nga nahingi yung exccess oil. i may have used it to my motorcycle though. next time i'll be more vigilant!!

Sir Navigator san po kayo dito sa laguna, I got mine also at Amcar Sta Rosa.

Hi sir NTB, good day!

Sa Pacita Complex sakop na ng Biñan. who's your SA? konti lang freebies nila diba? not convincing. sa Lipa kase ako originally but nawalan sila dun ng unit so they passed me over to AMCAR in which an advantage sa location ko. si Jaime SA ko dun. pagbalik ko pala sa AMCAR may pinakita sila sakin na 2din DVD HU kasama ang 2 monitor sa headrest. 42k daw yun and hindi mabo-void ang warranty. but i dunno how it looks. pero dalawa na ang nakabitan nila and so far okey naman daw. where you from laguna?

[jepoy m.]

guys yung bang undercoat nyo hindi ba parang kulang?
kanina kasi pina lifter ko yung akin, mukhang wheel wells lang ang meron.
the undercarriage parang wala. hmm

I noticed it too on my unit that is why im scheduling it for a full undercoat soon before the rainy season starts this june (or has it already started?).

Sir Navigator, were the two units that AMCAR installed with 2DIN HUs by any chance 4x2s? If so, did they give any details as to how they did it?

I want to have a 2DIN HU installed on my 4x2 but I dont like the idea of cutting the center panel to accommodate this. I prefer having a replacement center panel made specifically for 2DIN HUs.

sir ianmitsulancer,
i read about you in the may 2009 issue of top gear. ganda ng samahan ng club nyo! anyway, do you know of any shop in our area that's offering a paint protection service similar to big bert's optiguard? i've been wanting to have my 4x2 MS enrolled in a paint protection program since the day i got my unit. Travelling to QC is not an option at the moment because of my work. TIA!

Message for NTYcE : This is Simon. I visited A-Toy earlier this week and told Ton Ton that I really admired the photos of your Montero that I have seen on Tsikot. He showed me the skirtings and there was another white Montero on the side walk that I looked at (this had side panels along the doors but no front and read skirtings). I have not ordered any kit because I have not yet received my vehicle. What I am not sure about is whether the front and rear skirtings will still look good if I retain the original wheels or does one really need to upgrade the rims at the same time. There is no doubt that upgraded rims, new tyres and front and rear skirtings will look great but replacing the rims and tyres really increases the total cost to a level I am not sure I want to spend right now. I will just wait until my unit is delivered and then see how I feel about it.

sir navigator2377, same question din as with sir jepoy... yung sinasabi nyo na 2din pang 4x4 lang po ba?
