AUTODRESSCODE tabi ng BDO...side mouldings ang tawag...

meron din si MARF nun mas maganda kasi rubber talaga..pareho rin ng design di nga lang painted with body color...ang tanong lang kung kakapit pintura...

yung sa kin kasi plastic(?) fiberglass(?)...not sure..pero trust me, effective talaga..dami na nga nya small dents..at least di sa body mismo tumatama.

BTW...OT muna...napansin ko pag minor repair lang kailangan ng oto..bakit sa labas pa kayo nagpapagawa? sobrang takot yata kayo sa CASA...ako kasi pag minor scratches or tear...sa CASA talaga...just try to find a decent service man..kasi lahat ng pagawa ko..minimum lang ang charge which is 1k...at good as new lahat...

my 2cents

[sascha]

sach...kahit naman saan toyota casa pwede e..ako nga alabang galing unit ko pero ni minsan di pako dumadalaw dun..dito ako toyota north beside sm city kasi tapat lang bahay ko...(ayan ala nako ligtas eb)

service man ko is louie cabangon..

[sascha]

ok tnx. mas malapit nga yan d2 sa opis. pero kapag nagpagawa ka hindi thru insurance right galing sa sariling bulsa

[spongee]

ok tnx. mas malapit nga yan d2 sa opis. pero kapag nagpagawa ka hindi thru insurance right galing sa sariling bulsa

J ba unit mo? J kasi ako..at yung oto natin...in any form of bangga or gasgas...minimum participation fee natin is 3k..kaya pag ang damage mababa sa 3k di ko na pinapasok insurance..

1sample..unang bangga ko..sideswiped ako ng taxi...minor gasgas....kaya ng repair which is worth 1k..tatanungin ka ng SA mo kung ipapasok mo ng insurance...pag YES, babaklasin ang panel which will cost 5k (for all we know, same treatment din ang gagawin like sa repair...term lang nila yan para makakolekta ng malaki sa insurance natin)....sa totoo lang, hassle sa insurance kasi may police report e dito pa lang nasa 200p na gastos...etc etc...kaya kung minor lang naman at kaya ng repair di ko na pinapasok sa insurance...

pero just the same insured pa rin oto ko...

[sascha]

ganyan din sabi ni qwerty 3k participation nya

mabilis naman gumawa at kuha yung color? dyan n nga rin ako papagawa malapit pa d2 sa opis. thanks spongee

may number ka nya?

[Marfin]

*marfin,
ano ang pinagkaiba ng old and new power side mirrors?

Sir Marfin Kelan ulit dating ng next order po? order sana ako ng console box at power side mirror with led. Ano din po pagkakaiba ng Powerside mirror new?

So far alam ko meron sila atleast 4kinds na powermirror pero only these two lang ang madalas ginagamit nila.

Yung new power mirror w/ led is bigger providing more view. this is the difference yung black(old) >< lightgreen(new)

Bro Marfin ang sinasabi ko ung sa door sa likod i think ung scuffplate para sa mga side doors. Tama ba?

Yun ba, rear stepguard yata tawag jan. Anyway wala akong dala stepguard ngayon. Baka meron pa kay mr. pres yung mga extrang rearstepguard dala ko dati? tanong natin kay mr. pres.

hi Marfin,

Ok.
This time naka notes na mga list of order ninyo

[Marfin]

May nabasa ako dati na di daw safe na iwan ang car sa neutal while moving, you will never know if you will need engine braking or sudden acceleration daw kasi. Kung gradual ang pag slow down ko, I downshift sequencially. So para if I need power, gas na lang ang tatapakan. Nasa right gear na ako. Nag skip lang ako ng gear/s pag sudden decceleration.

Driving Tip. Ang stock na brakes ay humihina pag mainit na. Use engine brake to support the brakes to prevent over heat ng brakes. Iyon mga bababa ng bundok tulad ng baguio, take note.

Driving tip: In a 2-lane road, when overtaking, do not upshift in the middle of the overtaking maneuver. Up shift only when you are safely in front of the overtaken vehicle. Why? Delikado na mabitin kung nagkamali ka sa pag shift - di pumasok.

Comments to these tips are welcomed/encouraged.

Share ko lang experience ko before while driving on the wet zig-zag road while my gear was on neutral (driving avanza). That time i was climbing up with 40km/hr ang speed. I try to play within 2nd and 3rd because of the road condition and suddenly the road start to going down so i decided to put my gear to neutral. I was on 40km/hr when the turn is comming and i decided to switch my gear to 3rd, abaa nagulat ako biglang nag drift (skid ba tawg jan) ang avanza ko. I try to analyze how did it happen, eventhough i drove before from Ontario to Vancouver (4500Km) with the snowy road condition this thing never happend to me.(cevy van with front wheel drive). Now that explain to me na yan ang mga disadvantage sa rear wheel drive car.
At the time na nag switch ako ng gear from neutral to 3rd, the backwheel where the power from our avanza drive the car siguro nag brake (enginebrake) kaya yung tendency ng car is to skid. Buti nalang i was able to control back the car before it smashed the tree.

nagpa reserve sa akin si licristo ng rear step guard at chrome door handles. Sa araw na kukunin nya na, di na nya ako tinawagan. pero the day before, nakapag usap pa kami over the phone. Puwede kong dalahin tom. Both items.

malamang nag engine brake nga dahil kulang pa sa rev ang makina, dahil dito nag skid.

Baka nabigla lang ang pag-gear at nasabay sa pagkabig ng manibela sa winding wet road kaya nag-drift...

Na-experience ko na yan sa NLEX, single-cab pickup na walang laman sa likod at medyo kalbo na ang rear tires, basang-basa ang daan.

Nag-overtake ako, at nang pabalik na sa right-hand lane, biglang nag-drift ang pickup, at umikot pakaliwa (!!!) -- bale bumaligtad ang direksiyon! Nag-360degree turn ang sasakyan at napadpad sa center island ng NLEX, pero dahil kasama ko si misis, siyempre hindi nagpahalatang na-rattle, tinuloy-tuloy ko lang at ibinalik sa daan ang pickup. Yung isang bus na inovertake ko before the last one, nahabol ako at sinenyasan ako nung konduktor na "LAGOT KA!" Siguro akala niya, nag-exhibition lang ako.

[likot]

it would be much better if you use 10w-40 or 15w-40 than 20w-40 coz pangit to sa cold start mas magagasgas ang engine mo dito. dont use fully synthetic when your stilll under break-in perion 0km-5,000km, sa 10k ka na mag fully synthetic if you want para sure.

Wala sa number of posts. Sina jedi at doc tsikot ang puwedeng gawin ang isang tsikoteer to moderator. Sina liv, ooba, and thepatriot parang less than 1,000 ang mga post nila each pero kasabay ko na na upgrade to moderator.

BTW, moderator lang ako ng Avanza Club sub-forum. Si liv sa Innova, sina ooba and thepatriod sa strada and mitsu.

Congratz Mr.President/Moderator Meledson , wala bang mag rarally jan sa blowout! heheehehehehe.... tamang tama yan sa eb..

[newbie_innova]

Hello po!

Bago lang po ko dito, we're still considering what unit to buy. Dati and pinagpipilian lang namin e innova e dsl m/t, carens, at sta fe. Ngayon, nagiisip kami kung gas na lang bibilhin namin unit, specifically the avanza.

We've never had diesel units before, e sabi daw pag diesel kelangan matagal ang warmup/idling time bago paandarin, which is mahirap for us dahil when we leave the house, palagi kaming nagmamadali; trabaho din kasi ni mister kelangan ganun e. Kaya parang hindi sa min uubra ang diesel.

ANYWAY! My post here is about the fuel consumption of the avanza and the other good/bad points nito.

Hope you can share with me your FCs, your problems, and your sweet successes w/ the avanza!

thanks in advance!

Meron na ba sa inyo nakapagpalit na ng headlights? Hirap magdrive sa gabi pag hindi well illuminated ang streets.

Gusto ko sana HID ang gamitin kaso wala naman ako makita na may kasama projector housing. Ayaw ko naman makabulag sa ibang motorista.

May nakapagsuggest na to change the bulbs to either philips or osram. I plan to go with this option. But before I buy a pair, hindi ko alam kung pano ikabit. Anyone care to instruct me. Also kung sakali palitan, may kailangan ba gawin alignment check afterwards.

[meledson]

Para makatulong, nagpakabit ako ng fog lamps pang supplement ng headlights. :D

Pag walang kasalubong at madilim ang daan. OK lang ang lakas ng headlights natin. Ang problema ay ang mata natin. Pag may kasalubong, nasisilaw mata natin at lumiliit ang opening ng iris. Madilim tuloy. ang fog lamps pakalat pababa ang ilaw. pati sa sides ng lane na dinadaanan ay lumiliwanag. Iyon lang nga, walang range tulad ng low beams.

[meledson]

Mayroon short thread on the Avanza FC. Pa search na lang. Pero basically malakas ang makina pero matipid.

regarding problems witht the Avanza. Nothing mjaor so far.

Regarding the ride quality, mas matagtag than a car pero less matagtag compared to AUVs. Coil springs ang gamit, hindi leaf springs.
