Suzuki JIMNY [merged threads]

[tamundoy]

Mga sir anu po ba pros and cons ng surplus na jimny? Meron po kasi ako nakita na for sale na medyo pasok sa budget pero converted lang. Pag sinabi ba pong turbo ibig sabihin diesel? Pasensya na po newbie lang po ako. Thanks in advance

[OTEP]

Gas po yun 660cc. The engine has enough parts locally but the conversion must be done correctly. =)

Thanks for the reply sir. Hindi ba mahirap i maintain ang surplus na jimny? Matipid na po ba ito sa gas?

[OTEP]

The engine is different. But that engine is shared with the older Jimny as well and there are lots of those here.

Matipid? Its no Vios but a Vios cant swim and go off road neither,

nakakagigil naman talaga yang jimny na yan! gustung gusto kong palitan na yung honda jazz ko, especially i'm here in palawan now, more rough road than asphalt or cement. hehe.. landed value here is * 790k, kainis lang wala ata sila trade in na.

[pop3corn]

bakit ba hindi na lang i-offer ng Suzuki Phils. yan CRDi Jimny kaysa mag-offer sila ng Gold Variant at 900K++. kasi sigurado matipid yan diesel na Jimny at that body

What can be done about the rear seats that vibrate and squeak? (referring to the back rests, in particular)

yun akin drivers side pero parang galing din sa side panels e.

My ten year old does not have this annoyance, perhaps because the leatherette seat covers are preventing the back rests from moving. But my front passenger seat does rattle kapag nakatodo slide siya palikod. I just position it sa bandang gitna and wala na iyong rattling.

Put that elastic cloth thing that girls use to make pony tails on the two knobs that allow the seat to fall forward, this will hold the two together and prevent them from rattling as you drive.

nakapag-inquire na ako sa suzuki, they will accept my jazz sa trade-in since it is still fresh and 2010 model. pwede daw sa kanila ang trade-in 2004 and up models, nae-excite naman ako! haha.. ano ba mga sir ang ma-recommend niyo na dapat palitan or upgrade/s sa jimny? i won't do much off-roading for the mean time.. sometimes lang cguro just to have a feel of it, so ano kaya ang ok na gulong for this mga sir? inggit ako sa mga ginagawa ni sir larshell e. hehe..

balak ko kunin yung silver sana since di masyado pansinin ang dumi and alikabok dun.. ok kaya yun sirs?

Sir rain_012,

Saang Suzuki dealer yan na pumapayag ng trade-in? Those dealers here in Manila I inquired from were not too receptive to trade-ins...

For BEST fuel consumption in city driving, stay with the stock tires. Can't comment however on their performance off-road...

For most essential mod: replace the puny stock horn which even tricycles and motorcycles disregard.

For 2nd most essential Jimny mod: replace the crappy front speakers. Most any branded 4" speaker you can find in a car accessory shop will sound lots better than the puny stock 10w Sanyo speakers.

For 3rd most essential mod: add another pair of branded 4" speakers for the rear compartment.

Lastly, have a decent tint installed, so that other drivers on the road won't see you bouncing around in your seat when you're driving too fast over road bumps.

haha. maganda din nga black! BTW san ba makakabili ng wheel and tire package para sa jimny. hirap ata maghanap ng 15in na 5x139 rims pati size ng gulong pahirapan din

[rain_012]

*vegetablejoe -- sir, dito sa puerto princesa palawan yung suzuki dealer. still waiting kung magkasundo kami sa price ko for the trade-in. hehe.. sana maging ok na agad, atat na ako sa jimny! hahaha..

thank you sir and sir jaymd for the info, actually yan ang pinagpipilian ko nga, silver and yung black na jimny, parehong ok e. anyone knows kung yung stebel nautilus STEBEL NAUTILUS VERY LOUD CAR HORN BNW ORIG WRNTY SALE | eBay busina kakasya as replacement dun sa existing na space ng busina?

[jaymd]

yun busina ni sir vegetablejoe hella supertone na di nagkasya sa jimny ko. depende sa nagkakabit din kaya nauwi ako sa bosch na OEM type na busina. May pics dito si doc otep ng jimny nya w/ snail type na busina kamukha ng stebel na gusto mo
