Q's for gurus on our LiteAce

[drey]

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.

[alwayz_yummy]

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

[afrasay]

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.

Thanks user friendly


2.5k lang pala ang dalawang seats dito sa Banawe... cant find a Royal Purple here...

Thanks for the info rayban7g... Hmm... May point ka... Naguguluhan tuloy ako hehehe... 11 y.o. Na ang kotse, ang kinuha ko na viscosity ay 10W40 instead of the 10W30... Gusto ko lang ma try, less than 100 kms a week lang naman ako magpatakbo. Kaya I think there is no harm in trying... 101K kms pa ang Liteace...

hope no problems lang talaga since gusto ko tipid ang gaso...

[rion]

in my opinion ok na yung 10w-40. 40max oil weight kung maiinit na yung makina. engine wear usualy occurs during cold startup kasi eh. lighter weight oil is good in the cold start.

or maybe 10w-50 kung myroon...

Sir Drey Good day. Uhm just would like to help kasi owner din ako ng liteace dito sa cebu. What I did to my liteace is use shell helix plus 10w-40, BOsch Oil Filter, Bosch platinum super 4, Bosch IC, change air filter element every year(use toyota OE), Use Caltex Vortex Silver w/ Techron, Installed Khaos, Align every 6 months, Used 17" wheels w/ 215/40ZR17 Tires from Dunlop. plus added power steering. and I used to get 1:11 even with aircon and 7 people city driving. But as what sir always yummy said change your engine to diesel if you want to get more power and km's for the given amount of fuel I would second the motion. Because I've modified my liteace to accomodate a 3C-T engine plus intercooler, new tranny, new tires from the said above to BFGoodrich 215/40ZR17 front and 235/45ZR17 rear. My liteace pala is model 1990. and for upholstery I spent almost 15k (change cushion, seat cover, carpet, and for the driver seat use leather. By the way there are more things that I add to the vehicle but I know that is for another topic. Again good day to you sir drey hope this could help.

Bay...

11 km/l imong gakakuha sa city with 3C-T? Dili man nako gusto engine swap because I am trying to make the van as stock as possible.

I have heard about Platinum 4's na Bosch... Pero some people here say na Platinum 4's are better on long drives. I only drive the van 2 times a week. Maximum na ata is 3, and that is less than 100 kms.

I bought a filter element just this afternoon... The brand is Koji. I don't know if this is good but it says made in Japan.

What kind of Ignition Coil do you use from Bosch? I have heard horror stories from this brand of IC. I will be using a VIC oil filter as well.

Regarding sa Khaos, does it work on your van? I've heard effective daw to sa mga Carb engines but reading the posts here. Walang epek daw kuno ni nga gadget.

And before I forget, Welcome diri sa tsikot.com bay!

bai, mga pangutana nako... is your liteace local or JDM? and where did you install your intercooler? and from what intercooler ride did it come from?

[drey]

Sir Rion,

OT: Taga aha ka? :hihihi: May Liteace ka rin ba?
