New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[hawkenph]

Hi,
Thank you again for your help. As far as the sales people. I have learned not to trust them. My experiences from the US I was lied to alot on what the car had. And my wife is getting shy about me always going to them and asking questions. Because we don't have the full deposit yet to buy.
As far as the Diff's. I really want the LSD its just will take too long to save the deposit for the SE. That's why I am looking at the GLS. If I can still have the 50/50 power between the wheels using the Super Select. Than I feel the LSD is not as important. Most of our driving will be on the roads in Cebu and up into Province. And the reason I want 4 wheel drive is for like floods,etc and if the roads conditions get bad. And me being Ex-Military I learn its better to have and not need than to need than not have.
Thank u again for your help.
Kurt in Cebu

Hi Stubby, may i know this picturewas took before or after casa remove the rust ??

Thanks

sorry for not mentioning that this was NOT your monty sir. taken from another monty. the rust build-up on yours has been cleaned. mitsu warranty guy said the build-up might return. he has yet to confirm with mmpc what to do to address this problem

Hi sir stubby, thanks and like the other MSCPs out there, looking forward to meet you too...

in order for you to practise the uphill climb to Baguio, try the uphill stretch from Star Tollway to Tagaytay. We did this with the Strada Club last year. Take the Talisay exit and (i think) it will be the start of the uphill climb to Tagaytay... before you know it... you might want to join the Hill Climb races... joke...

i drove eslonblue's Strada 3.2 GLS Sport during this time and it was no sweat!

ah yes i know that route sir. p*et ng manok yun! (its a chicken's bu**hole!) passed that road before but i was a passenger. my dad was on the wheel that time on a fully loaded 1st gen starex jumbo. we made it uphill but with lots of divine intervention! thanks for the suggestion sir. will try it out someday

Nakasalubong ko black monty ni mayor at marcos highway on my way to baguio. Nagflash ako ng lights pero di yata napansin. May nakasalubong pa ako na white monty near pugo, la union. Nagflash sya ng lights nya. Nakakatuwa talaga pag may fellow monty lover na nakakasalubong sa daan. Will go back home to pangasinan in a few hours after we drop off our daughter at her dorm.

good morning sir jepoy,
baka ako yun i was with my family around 10:30 to 11am at agoo , LU going to aringay then straight to manaoag for our sunday mass....

sir stubby you take sir chang to casa to remove the rusty parts for replace or just rustproofing the parts? sir any pics after it was done pls.TIA

Because i in Singapore right now, stubby help me sent my car to casa,to replace the steering shaft again and do some painting works........

sir ching I might see your monty, which casa did you bring your monty? , i brought mine today at Diamond C5 for the installation/painting of the OEM tailgate cladding..

Sabi ko na nga ba fellow Tsikot Montero forumer yung nag flash sa akin,sori di ko napansin coz i was about to overtake the car infront of me..

I'm sure mayor didn't flash his lights because naka HID sya.. bawal iflash! am i correct mayor? hahaha Or was it because di naka chrome rims mayor? kaya di mo pinansin? hahaha i'm just kidding, trying to stir up some contraversies lang!

Pwede naman i flash yung HID, kaw talaga NTYcE

Traffic at NLEX & EDSA last night was TERRIBLE!..I left baguio 3pm and arrived at valenzuela exit at 6:30pm where bumper to bumper traffic started to build up.. I took the alternate route exiting valenzuela going to monumento but traffic situation was the same because of flooded streets.. Grabe! It took us 5 hrs from valenzuela to Greenhills

just in time for the Baguio Centennial!

Sir JPG.....

Stubby took back my monty last Saturday, at my office now.

The last night heavy traffic, i think because of heavy rain, my office was flooded, lucky my Monty was OK...

Casa At marcos highway....

i agree with sir ian...... come one come all monty.........

good morning sir ian

I like too.......

Need to convince our president sir mic....to call a mini EB at Baguio..........

[stubby]

sir stubby you take sir chang to casa to remove the rusty parts for replace or just rustproofing the parts? sir any pics after it was done pls.TIA

sir, casa just removed the rust build-up. they did not do any rustproofing on the affected parts. wasnt able to take pics after the cleaning was done but it already looks similar to xto's

[chng238]

yeah I agree, it's better than no side mirror to look on, when driving....

Do you guys know where I could buy a convex mirror(or any mirror) that I can place on our garage to prevent bumpers of our cars from hitting each other?(space is limited so we need to park d cars really close to each other and it gets difficult if your alone parking without anyone to signal if its that close or not)

Usually I always double check like going out of the car to check the distance to make sure it won't hit, but last time I saw our other car's front bumper kissing the rear bumper of the other one(not my fault, actually my dad's fault heheh). Which caused a slight horizontal markings on the rear bumper caused by the plate cover of the other.

Another concern of mine is security(I'm living in a place where lots of side mirrors and wheel caps are disappearing overnight), if I'm taking so much time to park my car then that may give opportunity for burglars/thief or etc.... to get inside our garage. (that's why we are also planning to get those remote controlled gadgets that you install on your gates so it will open and close automatically, so it would close even before you get out of your car.)


Any other solutions? I'll appreciate any suggestions thank you.

Sir adrewlim, maybe you are looking for this ? me too.......

I still looking for it... it can view the front bumper and side...

Hi Everybody!

Let us pray for the safe travel of sir ching (wednesday night) and sir mikko (thursday) going here to the philippines/metro manila. Having said this, i call for a mini-EB this friday night after office hours either at the fort or metrowalk (but mostlikely at the fort) to celebrate their arrival (and pasalubongs) and to finally discuss the serious part of finally fully organizing the club which will result to core group/officers, the roadtrips, production of stickers/shirts, clubs rules, etc...

We really need to talk about these stuffs I'll keep you guys posted to finalize everything
