ei guys! was finally able to upgrade my exalta to a 95 nissan safari!
just traded it in and added cash, got great value on both, thank God

in case you were wondering about the subtitle, it's not about pacquiao & erik morales,it's a reference to a certain 'seedy' character in a thread i started in the goon squad forum...hehe

anyways, t'was a blessing in disguise cause the unit i got was in waaay better condition than that one, aside from much lower mileage that was untouched...just wanna update those who followed that thread and expressed their support...thanks guys!

so here are some pics in the car gallery:

what i've had done so far:
change oil (conoco semi, 11 liters!), oil & fuel filter, tint (mahal!), alarm, 3M undercoat, stebel nautilus ....also had 2 buy side mirrors & 1 tail light...loaded w/ biodiesel of course!

what i like:seating capacity of a van, looks and performance of an SUV...R-E-S-P-E-C-T on the road from jeepney & bus drivers!

cons: waay too big, can't park where i used to, can't drive like i used to...

overall, very happy & satisfied, can't wait to go on an out-of-town trip w/ the family...

safari owners, has anyone changed the steering wheel to one of those momo ones?i find the stock way too big.also,what's your consumption?coming from a matic, my 1st coupla days i did only 5km/l...now that i've adjusted & loaded biodiesel, it's 6-6.5 city...is that normal? any other suggestions on how to improve it? do you have difficulty shifting gears sometimes? (it takes effort going into 1st from tym to tym, maybe its just me,haven't driven a manual in 2 years!) many thanks again to everyone, God bless!

congrats! "all good things come to he who waits"

thanks again to everyone! nung una disillusioned na ko e,but got encouraging feedback so still pursued it.... next on my list:leather seat cover, probably another stebel (ort maybe an NBA or NFL horn), tire cover, racing filter...sir glennster, next project pala namin ni ronald to, balak ko to get a racing filter from the shop & have it rigged like your ride before. do you recommend this or should i just get a drop-in?parang mas expensive drop in though....guys,anyone know where to get drop in filter for the safari & how much?

sir when i installed knn..mas nakatipid ako ng filter. 550 kasi ang air filter niyan. bili ko sa knn 3,700.900 yun charger kit.used it for 4 years.hanggang ngayon buhay pa.

sa dalas ko mag change oil and filters..mas sulit sakin ang cone type.

wala nga lang kaming knn..you might have to buy it in another store.

yung mga busina madami kami niyan.hehehe

wulf: PM Otep for details. AFAIK the only requirement is having a offroad capable diesel rig.
