mag dagdag ka grounding kit or linis mo yung mga ground points para gumanda takbo ng makina.

also gamit ko synthetic oil na and pallit na air filter to k&n. mas malakas na hatak at mas pino takbo

ah yes sir naka 5pt grounding kit din me DIY ngalang and i agree po nag improve ang hatak ang wala pa ko yung k&n mahal eh ahehe then high tension wires din siguro pero chaka na muna pag naka budget na muli ahehe

panalo yung crystal tail lights ah... yung altezza may nag bebenta sa sulit 3.5 yata..

[impulzz]

yung grounding kit ok lang DIY basta maganda yung wires mo at malinis yung kung saan naka tap, para maganda bigay ng current. as for the high tension wires the best pa din OEM. air filter meron ata hurricane na pang vit. matanong ko nga sa supplier. di na ako maka palit kasi naka k&n na ako.

ako na US version tail lights na hehehehe selling the oem phdm TL kung kelangan mo just tell me.

[rogerkabungkal]

mahal ng oem ser eh.. meron kay olympia 1 plus yata replacement magandang klase daw..
patingin nman ng vit nyo sir rear shot naman para makita yung US tails... ok pa naman yung stock ko thanks sa offer po... yung roof rail ser baka may extra kayo dyan or re copy na fiber ahehe..

Hi guys, has anyone experienced po a problem with brakes na tipong pag naka incline yung Vit e parang unti unting bumababa yung brake pedal (to a significant extent) tapos nawawalan ng kapit? Pero kapag nag hand brake naman, walang problem.

I haven't really tested na kung naka incline e totally mawawala ng effect yung foot brake or kung aabot ba siya dun sa max pressed mode ng pedal kasi baka madisgrasya pa.

di ko makita yung rear pic, pag may time kunana ko ulit.
as for the roof rack mahirap na humanap talaga nun, ang sabi sa akin, these oem racks came standard on certain year models lang. very rare may magbenta.

may singaw either master or hydrovac. yung handbrake kasi mechanical yun, meaning pag hatak mo ng hand brake lever it pulls a cable that engages the brake shoes in the rear drums.

happened to my hiace, malas lang hydrovac talga yung may tama. kaya ang laki ng gastos.

[rogerkabungkal]

*bigberts - panalo ser, pag may time na lang po siguro.. honga eh sobrang rare ng roofrack nyo iba talga pag OEM ganda compared sa mga generic na binebenta...

ouch. kung sakaling master ang may damage sir, malaking gastos pa din ba?

[impulzz]

kung repair kit mura lang, kung yung buong master mahal yan.

[guido]

sir saan mo nabili yung mga bulbs? madali lang ba diy yan?
malabo na talaga panel lights ng vit namin

thanks

changed the panel bulbs to LED
sa gauges 2 peanuts(short) and 2 rice bulbs

bought the LED's from the US. mahaba kasi yung mga locally available sa banawe na led so sasabit, as in 1mm lang ang hinaba para ma lock, plus walang RICE LED dito .

diy pwede, matagal na kasi ako nag kakalas ng gauges to clean the insides

[archijardy]

wow leds! magkano inabot? you have the exact codes? kay brightleds ka kumuha?

[archijardy]

surplus master mura lang, normally kasama buong assembly = hydrovac. sa toyota it goes 1.8k-4k, siguro ganun din sa suzuki. not sure how much ung repair kit. sa rav4 ko kasi ginto ang repair kit, i opted for a surplus hydrovac na lang

[impulzz]

hinanap ko lang sa net then asked my friend to buy it for me. landed cost parang inabot 2400 +/- including shipping na. di ko alam kung saan nya order.

[CrankyHitman]

Quick question, Gusto ko sana mag change ang engine pero converted na Escudo yung sasakyan ko, pwede ba ako magswap ng Vitara engine? Ano Pros and Cons pag ginawa ko ito? Sino recommended ninyo shop near dito sa Banawe? Medyo nagka phobia na kasi ako nung pinagawa ko yung auto after Ondoy naloko lang kasi ako.... Hope you could help me on this.

[impulzz]

the phdm vitara uses g16b engines while the escudo uses g16a. sa pagkaka alam ko these engines and almost identical. konti lang iba internally something like forged crankshaft or something and a little difference in the pistons.

maybe you could have my friend (who also maintains my vitara) take a look at it before considering a swap engine. getting a 2nd hand engine is a hit or miss deal ,. you could get a damaged engine.

will PM you my friend shop location

[max-o]

sir may nag changed engine na ba from gas to diesel sa vitara?nabasa ko sa kabilang forum na pwede daw yun r2 engine from mazda or kia.dami kasi surplus r2 engine sa amin.

[archijardy]

here's the pic* the helipad trail

this one rocks big time! very nice rig! (halos parehas tayo hehe)

simex or maxxis ba ito?
