New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[comecum]

Sali ako.

Got my new ride last week from Citimotors Makati. Its 4x2 GLS Gemstone Gray Mica.

So far, modification made is FXR bixenon HID Projector retrofit by Garyq. Took them more than 15 hours to do the retrofit. Result is quite impressive.

Planning to do following (I'm more into function than form):
- Complete rust protection (ziebart)
- Diamond gloss (ziebart/carsaver)
- upgrade horn (europa??)
- Turbo timer
- Rear Spoiler
- Rain visor
- Leather seatcover

Hope I have enough budget to do the above soon

Para saan yung Turbo Timer?

[Reepicheep]

Sirs, I'm still about to get myself a Montero. It's going to be my first new car after 15 years. The whole while I have grown an aversion from casa services -- they cost too much, they take too much time, and when time comes that you need to invoke warranty, either they'll reason their way out or require you to leave your car for X number days even if the part, however minor, is already available with them.

So, I hope to solicit advise about where I could possibly get my periodic checks for a Montero aside from, perhaps, Rapide, Bosch, or some obscure but highly efficient shop?

Autoplus? Hehe

Para saan yung Turbo Timer?

It's for cooling down the turbo. You set the timer to one minute (or more), remove car key, lock/arm your montero sport. Engine will continue running and shuts off automatically after one minute.

Turbos need to be cooled down after long distance driving or when you have driven with high rpm for a long time, not so applicable in city driving.

A proper HID upgrade for the Montero Sport, complete oem setup using FXr bixenon projectors, Philips 4300kbulbs, matsushita oem ballasts:

from:

stock halogen



Output of stock halogen:




To FXR/Philips combo:



output



Aside from the increase in intensity (hid bulbs has 3x more lumens output vs. halogen bulbs), the width increases also.

road output:




The HID system has it's own oem spec wiring harness and separate circuits for left and right.

Hi Sir Garyq, I guess that's my ride. The output is quite impressive. The bluish color band at the upper edge of the light adds to the "cool" factor.

To all fellow tsikoteers, this is my first time to install an HID light. I decided to go the proper way. Proper way means a complete HID Projector retrofit. Result is a clean cut-off without any glare to opposite driver. I just hate those plug and play HID that give a lot of glare, whether they are at the opposite lane or behind me.

Wow that's nice. Tama nga si sir gary, walang sisirain sa OEM chrome assembly.

BASH pLATES FOR NEW MONTERO SPORTS...







pm lang po if interested thanks...
( me ibang color pang available, powder coated or stainless steel )

[ianmitsulancer]

nice one there, Master Sael! is that your Montero Sport? hehehehe...

also, what variant is this? I guess 2.5 GLS 4x2 A/T ito 'noh?

I presume that the bash plates you do for the Strada are very much applicable for the Montero Sport due to a very similar design on the first half. I'm wondering how will your tow hook fit the MS since the Spare tire is closer to the rear bumper. hmmm...

Thanks! Anything but the casa is worth considering for me!

hi,

paano pinapa linis aircon ng montero?

nasa likod lang ba ng glove box yun evaporator (easy access)? at hindi tulad ng mga toyota/denso ngyon an baklas lahat ng dashboard.

any non-casa aircon shop kaya ba linisin aircon ng montero?


thanks

Sir, question lang about your HID upgrade. All along I thought our montero was already equipped with projector headlamps, which meant the only thing we needed to change was the bulb itself - from halogen to HID. Now it appears that that's not the case.

Am I missing something here? Is there a difference between our stock projector headlamp and the HID projector retrofit being referred to above?

FYI, my car is a 2009 GLS 4x2 A/T model. Hope to get feedback on this. Thanks!

Hi Sir Kapitan,

Yes our Monty is equipt with "Halogen" projector headlamp. It is not the same as "HID projector headlamp". The light source of the former is based on Halogen bulb design and if you install a plug and play HID on a "halogen" projector, you still get undesirable glare and the light output is uneven are there will be "hotspot" (spots of intense lights) and the width is limited. I must however say that the glare caused by such a set up is limited compare to installing an HID on reflector housing.

Therefore a total HID retrofit by replacing the existing Halogen projector to an HID projector is the correct solution. This way, you get a beautiful light cut-off which doesn't cause glare to opposite traffic and you have an evenly spread light that is very helpful in night driving. The width of the light is also maximized as you can see up to 4-lanes of the road.

Hope this helps.

Mga sirs share ko lang po, especially para sa mga hindi pa nakaka-alam. This product worked for me. Parang bago ulit, mukhang kakalabas pa lang ng casa. Dati kasi daming swirl marks, ngayon di na masyadong halata at mas deep at rich yung black color. You can really see the difference. Baka po makatulong sa mga black monty owners like me lalo na super hirap imaintain ng black. Work as advertised sabi nga ng isang site na nakita ko.

Bought it at ACE hardware MOA. Ewan ko lang po sa iba kung meron.

Try this 3M. Very easy to apply and same results as yours. I tested it on my black monty and the result is very nice. Nawala yung rain spots na di kinaya nang turtlewax magic color pero nang ginamit ko ito tanggal ang rainspots, watermarks, light scratches at super kintab.

tnx bro! nagpa 10k pms ako kanina fully sunthetic na pinalagay ko inabot lang ng 5.6k

[Reepicheep]

I was banned at the MSCP forms. I wonder what happened. My handle there is Degu.

Update:
It's fixed already.
