I alternate between Petron and Total unleaded. Mukhang walang diff. in FC between tire inflation at 23 psi front and 26 psi rear VS. at 26 psi front and 28 psi rear....

Will next try loading up with 95 octane gas variants

Yup, dati pa magaang paa ko... Am hoping nga to find a good vacuum gauge (like Veglia Borletti) so I can find out how most economically to drive and shift sa Jimny.

These days, when I start getting the urge ibaon ang pedal sa traffic and stoplights, I try to concentrate na lang on listening to music that I love and try to play. Pinapakinggan ko maigi yung mga licks and solos, para mawala yung gigil ko makipag-gitgitan. Nagiging parang auto-pilot nalang yung pagmamaneho!

ahh kaya naman pala...hehe...problema kasi sakin pag nilakasan ko pa yung music lalo akong ginaganahan umapak hahaha!

lalo siguro pag nagka jimny ako...tapos lalagyan ko pa ng 31" tires after lifting...hehe most probably 7 to 8 din ang consumption ko

I finally found and bought the Veglia Borletti Vacuum Gauge I've been wanting... but now I can't decide whether I want to install it and chance on voiding the casa's (engine) warranty.

Good evening mga boss... Ask ko lang po regarding a newly purchased 2003 Jimny Manual Tranny SE, kapag arangkada ko sa 1st gear at 2nd gear may ugong ako nadidinig lalu pag nasa peak na(above 2k rpm about to shift) ng 1st at second gear, yung ugong parang tunog pag reverse/umaatras ng mejo mabilis, di naman sobra lakas pero dinig talaga, sigurado ko di sya sa engine kasi pag di naka engage ang gear or neutral kahit apakan ko gas hanggang high rpm wala yung ugong.
Normal po ba ito? Kung di po, ano po ang possible sira at san po recommended natin mechanic for this?
Sariwa naman po sya, labas loob, pati engine pinong pino pa. Napansin ko lang talaga yung tunog na yun sa arangkada.
Thanks in advance.

Tsaka san po ba recommended shop/mechanic ng jimny natin balak ko sana pa change fluids bukas, engine oil-differential oil-tranny oil- ano pa po ba?
Ask ko na din ano oil for tranny/differential and ilan liters. Thanks.

San po pala kayo nabili ng parts, bnew and surplus...

I won't be able to see this video til I get home to my pc tonight, pero saan po kayo nagpakabit ng vacuum gauge? Maghahanap pa pala ako ng bracket or casing na babagay sa vehicle...

**jaymd** · July 12th, 2012 10:03 AM

nakita ko lang sa youtube yan video not actually my car. balak ko din pakabit yun 3 gauge na vacuum/oil temp or press/ volt meter. kabit sa pillar kung pwede or patong sa gitna ng dash

on another topic...

Sometimes after I start up and turn on the air-con, amoy mabahong trapo yung buga ng air-con (parang yung ginagamit pang pahid sa mga lamesa sa ChowKing

) for the first few minutes. Am not sure if this first happened after it rained hard overnight (walang bubong yung garage ko).

What I do now is: sa last 2-3 minutes bago ko patayin ang air-con at makina, lini-lipat ko sa high heat and high blower ang air-con. So far parang di na umulit yung ganun ka baho...

But does anyone know why this happens, and/or has a better solution?

Btw, pumapasok sa aircon yung exhaust fumes ng auto sa harap ko while in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Nasa recirculate naman ang setting ng air-con. I know this shouldn't happen in a brand-new car. Where should I be looking for the leak?

Thanks!
