guchie yung owner type jeep ko nabenta ko for financial problem dahil naospital ang nanay ko kasi nga yung liver nya ay nasa stage4 cancer na at namatay sya nung sept 7, 1997.

it's so hard for me to sell it hindi lang dahil sa pili ko ang mga parts na pinaglalagay ko dun kundi marami na rin kaming pinag-samahan ng owner type jeep kong yun ni minsan hindi ako ipinahiya nun although more than 1 year ko lang nagamit yun.

pero wala rin tayong magawa kasi buhay ng mahal mo ang nakataya nung time na yun kahit alam natin na hindi na rin magtatagal buhay nya sige pa rin tayo at nagbabaka sakaling gagaling at tatagal pa ang buhay nya.

BTW kung naghahanap ka ng H4 bulbs i think na mas ok na lang na mag all weather/season ka na lang para hindi mo na kelangan pang mag palit ng relays at wirings, tutal old school naman yan puede na dyan 90/100w na all weather/season na H4 bulbs gaya ng osram, narva at bosch.

osram, narva at bosch it's around 700 to 800 pesos by pair kung sa mall mo sya bibilhin medyo mas mahal pa sa presyo na nabanggit ko.

uy, kamuntikan ko na makalimutan kapag ganyan wattage ang gagamitin mong bulb ang kelangan mo lang palitan yun head light socket mo from plastic to ceramic ang pair naman nyan nasa 90 to 110 pesos maganda ang piliin na brand yun tyco na ang kulay ng balot na plastic nya sa ceramic ay kulay itim na may pangalan mismong tyco.

actually kahit DIY na lang ang pagpalit ng socket na yan.

guchie,
nice to hear that you are enjoying your car. i had a '78 2 door "macho machine" corona and it served me well. too bad about the celeste, remember guys dumping the astron engine for the saturn from the '76 galant. just add twin weber side drafts on velocity stacks and a 5spd. if your car still has a voltage regulator, you may want to have that checked. hope your 18R has a clutch fan. no fan drag at highway speeds.

boy,
yung kaibigang kong taga navotas noon, yung owner nya naka 18R at 3spd na HURST quick shift. wala sa aming gustong sumakay sa kanya.

18R na naka 3spd tranny tapos na naka HURST quick shift.... hhmm?

naka mustang na tranny 3speed manual yan mula sa baby 6 cylinder engine, bale yun tranny nya pinalitan nya ang bell housing na pang toyota mula sa 18R hanggang 22R nun para sumalpak sa 18R.

madalas kasi yung mga may-ari mustang na nag dodowngrade mula v8, v6 or straight 6 pag gasolina ang choice nila 18R, 5R, 21R or 22R pero yung tranny nila yung mustang pa rin na original na nakakabit sa kotse nila, dahil nga sa kahirapan mag hanap ng piyesa nito noong wala pang internet at yung mga nagiging praktikal na lang kung ano ang madaling mahanap na piyesa nun.

Remember the celeste gang guys of all the cars at that time they have to choose celestes to do their dirty deeds hehehe
pwede naman starlets mas maliit kaso ala pa atang starlets noon, except for the live ones hahaha

I'm still car-less di pa kasi natitignan yung batery,

Boy> so I have to check if ceramic yung socket kasi baka matunaw ba pag yung plastic pa din yung kakabitan ko. Ah ganun pala same with my dad kahit malaki nagastos kahit pano nakasama pa namin sya ng 3yrs before siya kinuha ni Bro sa Taas. Naisip ko lng if you have the budget why not build another one with better parts to choose from as well.

Gold> I thought so your a former corona owner sarap nun machomachine yun yung parang mustang na maliit tama ba. I've seen our neighbor's rona macho green kaso mukang nabenta na lakas daw sa gas eh. yun lang talaga trade off today about having a huge curb engine you get to enjoy the power yet the fuel prices and consumption will hit you back with a vengence. I snoop around the net and some of the old carina parts are compatible with ronas, sabagay mukang interchangeble sila since toyatas are like that hehehe. We'll a long way to go in fixin' some stuffs on the car but its fine slowly but surely. The list will still expand but the important thing is your having fun with it(para di sumakit ulo at maramdaman ang sakit ng bulsa).Bibili pa pala ako ng gulong hahaha kalbo na yung sa kanan sa likod hehehe this will set me back around 4k for both. Maraming salamat talaga sanyo sirs. Old is Cool!

mga pafs bad trip kahapon nagloose yung clutch ko, ayaw na kumagat buti nalang nasa loob na ko ng village namin, nung tinignan ng mekaniko di pa matukoy kung may problema na sa primary clutch kasi puro daw hangin. I'm not a mekanik but sa tingin ko di kaya sa lining nya yung problema. magkano kya palit ng primary assembly just in case yun ng yung problem.TIA

Sir Boy_Tino

All weather ba yung kulay is parang normal na headlights but mas malakas intensity or is it also white like the other h4s out there. Thanks

[guchie]

guys tulong naman napansin ko kasi sunog na pala yung reflectors(chrome part ng headlights) I just want to know if pwede palitan nalng muna ng aluminum foil yung nasunog na part.

Thanks in advance more power guys

Sent you PM guchie

hi sir,

need info about the shocks for my rona, cause im thinkin' of having them replace by gas type shocks. But I need to know if there are any brand/type of shocks would be compatible with the car, you know just "snap it in there problem fix" kinda stuff or do I have to know some other stuff since the car is old. Or do I just swing over to kruven for this since I'm on tight budget.

And the other thing is if I can just replace the contact-point type distributor (i think thats what it is called correct me if Im wrong pls) to a breakerless (as what out mechanic said) type distributor and would any brand or specific type would I do before consider. Cause me thinks their are 3rd party brands other than the one made by the car manufacturer that may be compatible with the car. Many thanks fellas!!
