    Sirs...

    Dami rattles and squeeks po sa LiteAce namin... Ano po ba pwede gawing maganda para di sya ganito? Any good ways to improve ride comfort?

    Gusto ko sana yung cheapest way possible kasi limited lang budget namin.

    Salamat po!

    Alisin mo lahat ng laman ng interior. Everything in the glovebox, door pockets, anything hanging from the rear view mirror or stuck on the dashboard so you can have a good baseline.

    Where is the rattle coming from? The suspension, seats, interior trim, etc.?

    yun magandang unang gawin, para ma-isolate kung saan talaga may rattle and squakes...

    usually mga bushings lang mga yun... and mga nagagagilangan ng greasing..

    indeed.

    improving ride comfort?

    check if your shocks are leaking. I woudn't recommend KYB gas shocks replacement. ganyan kasi gamit ko recently, acceptable, but too stiff for "lite" weight vehicles.

    kung luma na Tires, palitan mo na. hanap ka comfortable zone-size.

    un nga prob ko, auto-adjustable sa akin, mahal palitan

    kung kaya, palitan mo nung ranchos rs9000s or lower ba yun...manual adjustable yun for every situation ata.. otherwise, fluid-shocks ka na, ng medyo longer than sa normal...for more play

    magsama ka ng kaibigan. let him seat sa likod and look for the rattle. have him brace the seats, sidings or whatever he thinks the noise is coming from.

    Oi... Salamat nga pala sa lahat ng replies... Tagal na nito... hehehe...

    Sir's... Ano ba fluid shock absorbers ang pwede i-recommend? Was lurking the underchassis, suspensions etc of the Lite kanina just for fun. Was thinking of replacing na rin the shocks... Gusto ko super plush yung ride nya! Nyahahaha... Ano dapat ko gawin sa shocks? Since light lang naman karga namin, 4 people max, mountain bike and a sometimes, 30 kg cargo. Okay na ata ang Fluid shocks no? How much are these?

    I've researched a lot of stuff, gusto ng kuya ko palitan na ang van with a newer APV/2nd hand Starex but I insist kasi it won't fit my mountain bike inside, Starex is big, APV & Starex still guzzles gas and I know for sure that the it will become a classic in the future though kahit na tetemp ako . So I was thinking ways to make it "livable" til the year that it will become a classic.

    Project namin and questions narin ulit sa gurus...

    1. I have to make repairs on the aircon... Aircompressor is busted and I know it's expensive. Were eyeing for a brand new one. Gusto ko talaga lumamig ang aircon just like our Honda Jazz!!! :grrr: Ano modifications na possible for the van?
    2. Since wala pang overheating problem ang Lite since then, yung climate control switch nya though blue lang at walang red, sira na ata ito... Where can I have it replaced?
    3. This January, after my midterms, ko ipapagawa itong aircon problem, we are also going to have it oil changed... They "LiteAce owners" said, that using Castrol Magnatec/Mobil Super Fully Synthetic Oil, Bosch Platinum Super 4 Spark Plugs /?/ and Bosch Ignition Coil would be better and might have a dramatic increase in my fuel mileage figures... Can you please enlighten me on this? Moreover, how much would this cost me?
    4. Q about Air Filter element, is this for replacement or just for cleaning? If so, how much?
    5. They said to use Rotary type Compressors... What are these? And how much are they?
    6. They also said to add silicon gel to my clutch fan for maintenance purposes... ???
    7.The switch of the rear fan is located on the left side, can I put another switch in the front for easy access?
    8.2 Aux fan daw, question is, paano kung baha?
    9.Lastly, the last project would be converting this one to Power Steering... Will it affect the resale in the future if it's not going to be pure stock/all stock?


    Maraming salamat talaga sa last replies ninyo! Kuya Otep, Kuya Marlon, Sir Afrasay, Sir Rion and all... Maraming salamat, and I hope you could help me on this...

    musta drey! hehehe nalihis na ako sa landas ng liteace, pero eto parin naman ako...halos naman lahat ng sasakyan parepareho ng core knowledge ang alam mo...anywayz--eto sagot kosagot nalang ha--baka maging "tcash beast ako pag sama ko pa tanung mo,e)

    i recomend sabi nga nila, are monroe gasmatic, ung yellows kung gusto mo heavy duty, blue gasmatics will do fine na daw sa liteace sa 4x4ph thread meron dun...or kung gusto mo, hanap ka ng rancho kahit RS5000 lang, adjustable yan...5000+ each nga lang..

    1. may alam ako na magaling gumawa--aside kay mang mario.. mga siguro mga 10 thousand, your aircon will be freezing cold na...text mo lang ako, at ikot kita dun sa alam ko, medyo papasok lang yun kasi,e...

    2. as i know, local liteace, malayo/walang additional aux fan sa harap ng radiator and condenser...this solves the problem 85-90% of the time..but kung may warpage na sa cylinder head, well thats another story...

    3. ok magnatec--eto gamit ko sa car ko, super 4 plugs do me fine, but putting a longer life platinum is good lalo na cab-forward design ng liteace at hassle ang repairs talaga..do strengthen your ignition system, and have a stable electrical current. for me its not true na having the most expensive coils, plugs wires will give you a lesser fuel consumption..but having those thing might make your engine efficient as new. if gusto mo talaga tumipid, palitan mo ng 3-cturbo or 2c-turbo hacked from a JDM lite/town ace...kung galing sa emina/estima/previa dapat kasama computer box dahil EFI yun. cost: if standard tuneup lang, less than 1500 lang naman(1200-magnatec, 250-300-vic filter, 90-flush.addtionals are: spark plugs 1200 ata ang super-4, air filter mga 500 siguro.)

    4. kung sobrang itim na ng filter, palitan mo, kung di naman, pwede mo pabugahan ng hangin sa suki mong gasolinahan...pwede ka palit to open-mushroom free flows para mas ok ang breathing...

    5. i have no ideas on these.. pero minsan samahan kita dun sa sinasabi ko para mapatignan natin a/c mo...

    6. nope--di lagi nilalagyan ng silicone oil po ang clutch fan.only when di na siya na-eengage dahil kulang na ng oil.99/tube ang silicone oil sa ace hardware, usually, you need 2-3 of these. to check na kailangan na lagyan ng oil ang clutch fan mo: get the thickest slipper you have, run the engine at idle, then try mo stop ang fan with the slipper. if napigil, dagdag ka ng oil, otherwise, wag mo pagalaw. dont direct bolt that clutch fan, mas maganda kung ganyan yan kasi pag highspeed na, mararamdaman mong lumalaban na ang makina... and additional load sa makina kung fixed na yan..

    ang ginagawa ng iba--ask wiretap_md ung ginawa nya sa vitara nyang pula ata(nung naaksidente) inalis nya yung clutch fan at pinalitan ng 1 big main fan na powered ng electricals mo at may thermositch para di laging bukas...

    7.pwede, kaya lang pa-electrician mo--di ko masyado pamilyar sa electrical,e (hehehe elec. engineer pa naman ako :p)

    8.madali lang, put a manual off switch and a thermo switch(auto mode) para di laging buhay...

    9.nope, magiging good pa nga,e...bili ka lang ng original parts like steering rack, pump hoses..

    dito parin pics ko ng dati kong liteace, para may reference ka if you want to have some JDM parts for it...

    hope nakatulong to..
