My FC ranges from 8.5 to 9 kpl. Front tires 36psi, rear 39 psi. Odo 17+k, got my unit June 2005. Casa PMS at Toyota Alabang. My leaking shocks still subject for replacement. Other than that walang akong prob sa ride ko.

mine is using 33psi (front and rear) and I got 8.3 kpl. di ba matagtag yung tire pressure mo?

Of course mas matagtag against yours. Just following the recommended pressures from the manual with the stock tires and rims. My FC results basis 30% hi-way, 70% city. Can't achieve more than 10 kpl with the kind of traf I'm getting to, even in south tollways.

tataas ng tire presure nyo ah, hehehe, sa akin sakto 31psi lang kasi parang umaangat na sa road yung oto lalo na pag mabilis pag matigas ang gulong... oks yung oto nyo sir mag 3 years na 17k pa lang din yung odo nyo...

I'm still enjoying 10.5-11 Km/Li daily driver from Bulacan to Makati and back loaded with 8 adults.

Fuel: Shell E10
Motor Oil: Mineral
Spark Plug: Ordinary Denso plugs
Tire Pressure: straight 33 Psi

Go light on the gas pedal

With 31psi, what's your best achieved FC relative to road traf and condition?

... Can't do better than 5k run lang pag nandito ako sa Pinas, but when I'm out, nakabalot lang si Nova, he he he. My 3-yr reg has expired and been renewed.

yan ang karaniwang problema pag di sa casa binili ang side mouldings... me isang member din (Daryl) na yan ang reklamo sa akin nung last EB... kung anu-ano na raw tape ginamit nya pero natatanggal pa rin.

Sorry to butt in mam liv, yung sa kin sa casa ko binili and installed. Hinintay ko pa nga kasi at that time walang shade of blaze available. After a couple of weeks bumuka yung sa aft part. Di ko na lang binalik kasi baka ganun din ang mangyari. Kaya DIY ko na lang, sinamahan ko lang ng tyaga. Super kapit na sya ngayon.

[kumagbehota]

sobrang di na ako makatulog pag nag below 9.5 km/l ako sa city, hehehe... hangat maari mataas doon at na aachieve ko naman, medjo trapik kasi sa dinadaanan ko, edsa to buendia and C5 lang peak afternoon hours....

ganun, buti na lang di pala ako sa casa din, din rin naman pala assurance yun na di matatangal, noong una medjo nagsisisi ako bat sa labas ako kumuha matatangal din pala, siguro yung sa G and V lang talaga yung sure kasi by default meron na sila....

Idagdag mo na rin, pag DIY mo, bago mo idikit yung tape sa likod ng side moulding, painitan mo ng hair blower yung pagdidikitan ng tape, warm/hot enough for firm/permanent adhesion.

Problem with aftermarket side moldings is that they are not curve accordingly to the shape of the doors, that's why they tend to flex back to their original shape rather than stay with the door curves.

If that's an OEM side moldin, I'm sure there wont be any problem.

guys, share ko lang yung bad experience namin nung april 21. nasa harap kami ng traffic light noon near central bank tapos biglang may kumalabog na motor dun sa left rear bumper namin then nung bumaba yung driver namin biglang humarurot na lang yung motor tapos yun nung tumabi kami sa gasolinahan tanggal yung pintura and may scratches na siya pati yung mudguard namin bumaba at halos matanggal sa lakas ng impact... buti na lang at may kakilala kaming paint shop at kahit half day lang daw kaya yun maayos buti na lang walang yupi... sabi pa nga nung painter pag innova daw mahirap gayahin yung color... ask ko lang kung dupont ba yung type ng pintura natin?? yun kasi yung sabi eh??? malapit na rin pala ako sa 5k pms, anu-ano po ba yung tinitignan dun??

Nippon Paint yata yung sa Innova

Kahit nga yung pintor ng casa nahirapan i-match yung kulay nung sa akin, 7 times ko pina-repaint hanggang makuha nila ang tamang shade and mettalic content.

* bumags, the culprit is none other than the fuse of your foglamps. It is located just below the steering inside the detachable panel. See picture below:



The fuse tends to get loose from the terminal (esp on rough roads) thus creates sparks eventually burns the plastic terminal housing. I got my fuse replaced just 3 weeks ago when I experienced same. It's ok now. Pina-secure ko lang mabuti ng plastic tie. Have yours replaced, otherwise don't use your foglamps yet until the fuses are replaced. Drive safely bro.

Wow! Thanks Leinahtan! Actually last night, wala na siya. Pero, I'll personally check it. Dati kasi I DIYed the settings for the car alarm (masyado sensitive). Binawasan ko. Magkakatabi at masikip nga dun sa may steering wheel area na yun.

Again, Thanks po!

Well, it's not OEM alright. In which case somehow, someway there should be way to fix it, right? Constructive comments is just one. Everybody wished they have the dough to purchase high end units, but they don't. I hope you understand my point.

depende na rin siguro sa installer... napaka ingat at mabusisi ung nag-install nung sakin sa casa... kaya siguro hanggang ngayon kapit na kapit pa ung side mouldings ko.

My bad, sorry if it stings a bit, but that was just my point of view and no intention to hassle anyone.

It's alright. We're brothers here helping each other out. Cheers!

hindi po sa may pinapanigan ako kundi dahil kumagbehota seems such a humble guy(i hope he is in real life) that it makes you wanna help him. here's my 2 cents.

all the tips raised by leinahtan is perfectly true/correct!

1) alcohol para matangal "grease-like" substance sa surfaces at mas madikit adhesive.

2) change/palitan mo kasamang adhesive ng moulding to "original" 3M. ito no.1 culprit dahil fake at taiwan lang ang gamit sa aftermarket mouldings. which means kelangan mong bumili ng isang roll unless mabait pinagbilihan mo, willing nyang sagutin.

3M will never let you down kesahodang hindi original pa yang pag-gagamitan mo. even orange county choppers (OCC) uses 3M in their $50,000 dollar choppers in installing heavier steel accessories.

3) use of sandpaper to create uneven surface para kapitan ng adhesive at para di mag "slide-off"

4) the use of further pressure after the mouldings have been installed. just like babies until they can stand on their own, kailangang "akayin" muna.

5) use of blowdrier to hasten the curing time because like all adhesives no matter how good it is, is dependent on time and heat.

Thus, it goes without saying that

1) have your mouldings installed preferably kung ma-araw at hindi umuulan.

2) avoid having your car washed for 3-5 days (the longer, the better) to let the adhesive really cure. which also means avoiding, if possible, using your car when it is raining.

3) apply pressure on the mouldings every now and then for 2-3 days to help it adhere better on the surfaces. kelangang alalayan muna.


PEACE!
