I asked our agent... ok lang sa labas magpakabit ng accessories..as long as na maayos ang pagkakakabit.. sa labas kasi ako magpapakabit ng alarms and locks..

Congrats meier!!! I'm sure enjoy ka diyan sa innova mo

[A_eyE]

Congrats meier and smooth. ^_^

kuyapete: Thnx. Atleast my talent in photography is appreciated. LOL. ^_^

smooth: Front bumper guard yata tawag. Some ppl call it the Front bumper overrider din. LOL. Nwy, just a reminder, you can only put one if you install a front skirt. FYI, I bought my overrider and skirts (front,side,back) sa casa dito sa Cebu. Btw, thnx for your wonderful comments of Cebu and I hope you visit us here more. ^_^

thanks A_eyE. hmm.. kelangan pala ng skirts. if you don't mind, pwede paki-post ng front, side and rear pics ng innova mo? i was wondering how it would look kung may skirts. our innova is color white and i was thinking kung gray ang kulay ng skirts and bumper overrider. okay kaya tingnan ang two-tone? anyway, next month or next next month ko pa naman papakabitan e. pakaligaya muna ako sa itsura nito for the moment.

OT: bakit A_eyE handle mo? peborit mo ba si allan iverson? phoenix or detroit kasi ako. also, i really enjoyed being in cebu. sarap sarap diyan. went to tops and (on that road going to tops) my friend treated me to an italian restaurant. ANG SARAP! da best pa ang scenery sa tops. ang lamig (incidentally, mahilig kasi ako kumain heheh. pag napadako ka dito sa manila, subukan mo sa chef ed's sa dela costa sa makati. super sarap pre)

meier congrats din. inspect mo na maigi kaagad kung may factory defect heheh

[A_eyE]

smooth: I've posted pics of my innovas front, side and rear pics in this post. Malayo na ngalang. Nwy, if its ok with the other ppl here, i'll post it again. I hope these pics could help you. ^_^

OT: Tamang tama ka smooth. Paborito ko si Allen Iverson. Sayang nga lang di sila tumagal sa playoffs. However, he's playing his best year though. Top 1 in scoring, Top 2 in steals and 5 in assist/game. ^_^ Kakapunta ko lang sa manila. Sayang d ako nakapunta sa lugar na sabi mo. But, I had a good tym there too. I'm glad you had fun here in Cebu though.

thanks din. magkano ba aabutin ang central locking and saan okay magpakabit? di naman ako masyado hung up sa power windows actually e. yung central locking lang ang talagang nakasanayan ko na.

lastly, ano bang magandang mags para sa innova? same size lang ng nakakakabit. ayoko ng low profile (my car had - HAD as in past tense - 17-inchers and 40 series tires na after just one week e nakakainis na gamitin).

lastling lastly, may company na ba na nagbebenta ng flarings at bumper overrider para sa innova? siguro in about a month or two baka palagyan ko e

central lock + keyless entry with alarm prepare ka ng P2,500 up. it depends sa brand na gus2 mo (alarm). sa banawe or evangelista sa makati dae nagkakabit non. mas maganda kung yung magkakabit eh naka experience ng magkabit sa innova. pa power window mo na rin para di hassle kapag gus2 mo buksan window ahehehe. mahalaga talaga central lock at keyless entry lalo na sa kagaya ko na tamad na tamad magsusi ng kotse kapag bubuksan.mas convenient kapag isang tsuk tsuk lang bukas na sasakyan.

[A_eyE]

Guys, I have a question. Napansin nyo ba ang plastic thing indicated sa picture na toh? If you can understand what I mean, then why are there only three of these in the innova. Both front has one each but the side opposite of the picture (right of the Innova) doesn't have one. bakal diretso at walang plastic. Ganun din sa inyo? or ako lang.

[likot]

meron na ba dito na nagpa lowered ng innova ano kaya itsura?? sino may balak sa inyo??

you mean the fiberglass covers inside wheelwells...

Yes all the same cause di puede mapasukan ng putik area na yan where the rear evaporator of aircon is located, kaya sealed and wheel well for that matter...

WBR, ;)

[A_eyE]

Yep! So, of the 4 wheelwells, ilan meron fiberglass? I only have 3. Walng fiberglass ang rear right well. Normal lang ba toh?

Sir A_eye, napansin ko din yan.

[raider]

Sir Innova Boy, Do you have plans to have a grand eb for the club? Since we live at different areas, i would like to suggest that it is important to know the location of our members .

Unahin ko na sarili ko, I'm from Makati.

question lang po. effective ba yung mga nabibiling steering wheel lock?

likot,

the steering wheel lock provides an additional layer of protection for your vehicle. As ethan said, any anti-theft device can be defeated by a skilled and determined thief. However, having multiple layers of security may make the thief look for an easier vehicle to steal or, at the very least, it will take him longer to drive away with the vehicle, during which time someone might catch him in the act. ok naman yung Solex brand na naka-lock sa steering wheel at clutch pedal --just make sure that if you have a tilt-adjustable steering column that it is set to the lowest position. Otherwise, the thief could just lower the steering column possibly enough to remove the lock. yung ibang magnanakaw nga yata linalagari na lang ang steering wheel para matanggal ng mabilis yung steering lock.

In addition to this lock, I would also recommend having the vehicle's plate number etched on the windshield and side windows to make it harder for the thief to sell the vehicle. Heavy tinting also keeps nosy persons from seeing if there's anything valuable inside your ride. HTH.

*********

Anyway, thanks to everyone who responded to my queries. I have one more question. What exactly is this blue metal spring located near the rear left tire of the Innova for? The rep at Toyota Calasiao said it was part of the "load bearing sensor system," which is used daw to distribute the braking force for the rear drum brakes. Anyone care to confirm or elaborate on this? Also, the spring and its connecting points look kind of flimsy to me... parang bibigay sya agad dahil sa lupit ng mga kalsada natin dito sa Pinas. Does anyone know what would happen if the spring suddenly breaks?

I think location is not a problem if your living in metro manila..

The big question is to have maximum no. of members to attend...

SO may be we set first date and location, then from there we finalize it..

ALSO PLS post your intentions of joining this EB if ever we can arrange one..

I think normal lang to A eyE. kasi yung samin ganun din. yung fiberglass sa front wheels mas maliit compared sa left rear wheel. yung sa right rear wheel wala talaga.

[A_eyE]

Ya... I just want to confirm with others lang. Thnx for the reply. ^_^

central lock + keyless entry with alarm prepare ka ng P2,500 up. it depends sa brand na gus2 mo (alarm). sa banawe or evangelista sa makati dae nagkakabit non. mas maganda kung yung magkakabit eh naka experience ng magkabit sa innova. pa power window mo na rin para di hassle kapag gus2 mo buksan window ahehehe. mahalaga talaga central lock at keyless entry lalo na sa kagaya ko na tamad na tamad magsusi ng kotse kapag bubuksan.mas convenient kapag isang tsuk tsuk lang bukas na sasakyan.

likot, yung innova namin kasi walang central locking. i would assume na kung ipapa-central locking ko, kelangan ko ng apat (or kung kasama likod, lima) na actuator. P2,500 lang ba to? usually nasa how much ang isang actuator? di ko kasi alam honestly e.

actually may alarm akong extra galing directed electronics (nabili ko last year). ito ang plano ko ipakabit. sayang din kasi.

re: power window, tsaka na lang siguro. di naman ako mahilig magbukas ng bintana e

A_eyE, thanks for reposting the pics. hirap to go through the whole thread. 120+ na kasi (dial-up lang ako). OT uli: bale wala nga ang pagdating ni CWebb sa sixers e. laging na-i-injure. dapat dinala na lang ni larry brown si AI sa detroit para sibak na sibak ang miami heheh

[A_eyE]

Np. I'm glad I can help. ^_^ OT: Oo nga. Ang lakas sana ng Detroit ngayon. LOL.
