[marcnmark2]

Hi drivensteven,
I'm photography enthusiast also but presently here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia working.
Hope to have photo-ops with you and members of Montero Club on my next vacation probably March-April next year.

Sir from were you in Jeddah ? way back 1995-96 i was working at KAIA since then i just stay here and presently working at UST ... hope we meet when you go home

[RevD]

RevD,
You did a great job in modifying your Silver Monty
IMHO, Original silver front skid plate and silver rear skid plate look great and matches perfectly the over all design of your Siver Monty.

i think so too. I received very good feedback here in the forum.
I'm now repainting the skid plates silver again. ty


No grill yet.

Guys, what is the widest tire size that we can get for our monty? The rim size is 20 & the sidewall is 50. One time I saw a monty along Marcos Highway. His/her tires were so wide. I think it was 305 or wider. Maganda din tignan. Machong-macho..I like it!

When I went to a tire & rim store, the seller told me that the widest we can get is 285 (at R20/50). May computation daw yun. I really like wide tires for my monty.

Welcome po to Tsikot.com!

How long did you wait for your unit to arrive and from what dealer po?

If you're going for 20" wheels, 285/50R20s are perfect for the Monty. 305/50R20s are going to be too tall and too wide.

Too tall - the speedo reading will be off by around 4.7%. If you're travelling at 100km/h, the speedo will only read 95.xkm/h. The odometer will also read lower.

Too wide - depending on the offset of the wheels, the tires may rub on the fender.

265/65R17 (stock) - diameter is around 30.5x inches
285/50R20 - 31.2x inches, around 2.2% difference
305/50R20 - 32 inches, around 4.5% difference

[quote=dadamchu;1335938]Good day sirs,

OT lang po.... Padaan... Wala kasi nag mention sa PMS thread kung saan ok mag pa First 1000 PMS? Any personal experiences po b? Any casa's to avoid? Also, Its it true dapat synthetic na ang required ng casa? Pwede po bang ordinary oil muna? After all papalitan ulit by 5000km? Thanks po in advance! Almost lahat po kasi tinawagan kong casa sabi P6thou po aabutin... Sa otis lang nag quote ng P3500 pero ordinary oil.... Medyo conflicting kasi sabi sa iba requirement na is synthetic. [/quot
sa otis kami nag papalit pero hindi synthetic ang inilagay mineral oil lang siya ok naman basta alaga mo lang siya. kaya lang sa manila pala ang First Service eh may bayad ang lubricants ang service lang ang libre hehehe

[marcnmark2]

Boss sa Otis ako nag pa first 1k PMS i paid almost P7000 less 500 gift certificate they recommend synthetic oil kaya i dont see if they really followed the correct oil ..other dealer they used synthetic free labor kahit saan siguro..and they have different prices..Boss im from Cavite rin

any gains if we upsize an intercooler of montys?

No point in doing so if you're still running the stock turbine. Your fuel to air ratio might be off if you do this, resulting to power loss.

But if you plan to raise your boost, you'll need a better fuel management system, too, that's when the upgraded intercooler will come in handy

[motorider]

sir motorider i think you have to look on your Monty Manual on what specification of ATF you will use mostly available in casa it will not cost much i guess

In owner's manual, specified ATF fluid is SP-3, but when I called up citimotors makati, sabi nila dexron II daw ginagamit sa monty. These 2 fluids are not the same, and since our units come from thailand completely assembled with all the fluids, baka SP-3 ang nakalagay and I don't know if these 2 diff. types are okay to mix. Wala kasi ako makita SP-3 sa auto suppy. Just wondering.

[georgeparis]

got mine chromed in Balintawak. I canvassed first P7k highest quote. Got mine for P5.5k but I had to wait for 5 working days.

Ganda ng pagka-chrome, pulido

I will surely have my lower honey comb grill chromed too during my vacation next year.

Thanks for the info

[freeman789]

Are there any photo-enthusiasts in this monty forum? (nature, wildlife, architecture/interior design, underwater, etc) Mag photo-ops naman tayo!

pede. if ever matuloy.. give me a heads up para maisingit ko sa sched ko...

[georgeparis]

Sir from were you in Jeddah ? way back 1995-96 i was working at KAIA since then i just stay here and presently working at UST ... hope we meet when you go home

Yes, i've been working here in Jeddah almost 10 years na. Some folks from KAIA are regularly playing tennis with us here at our tennis club.

Hope to meet you and other Montero Sport Club members during my vacation next year

This would be very exciting.

normally ang ATF Dextron II ay para sa mga lumang modelo at sa mga bago at mga electronic fancy na tranny eh Dextron III na, saka konti na lang ang mga gumagamit nito (Dextron II)
pero wala naman siyang masyadong effect as long na ang viscosity requirements is na meet para sa tranny ninyo...

sa mitsu kasi spII or dextron II , while spIII or dextron III ang kanilang katumbas... sa manufacturer lang sila nagkaiba pero ang grade nila pareho lang
