sir yung dashboard ko pina repair ko sa pat-paint sa san juan, pero pinatakpan ko ng nalang ng leather yung dash(oem look at fit) kasi pinaayos niyo ulit yung dashboard niyo mag cacrack pa din yan after less than a year. ( napa repair ko twice yung sakin)

try mo dito pa repair dashboard niyo
a. boy chingcuaco ( araneta ave)
b. patpaint ( san juan)
c. seatmate ( mandaluyong)

mas maganda po na patakpan niyo ang dashboard niyo leather na similar sa color at texture ng oem material kasi kahit pulido po ang pagkakagawa sa area ng pinagrepairan ng dashboard maylalabas pa rin na crack dyan

What about the passenger side airbag sir. What'll happen when it deploys?

Do you have any pix of the finished work? At price range?

Thanks!

[jun_mazda]

price range is 7-8k ang repair ng dashboard, try ko i upload ang pix next time

[IMm29]

Very interesting. Kindly post pix. And how long did it take to have the dashboard covered?

U can try C3 in banawe. They posted some Prado parts before on their ebay.ph website. Look for user snyc3.

[IMm29]

If u want full exhaust, SMT in makati can make 1 for you. Intake (drop-in) try Car Shack in Makati.

sir, what are the advantages of upgrading the full exhaust? and how much would it cost?

[IMm29]

Upside: Better response. Bigger downpipe makes turbo spool quicker taking away turbo lag.

Downside: will probably get a bit louder than stock.

Oh, get a DP Chip too. Hehe!

naka dp chip nako last april ko kinuha nasa setting 5. ok naman ang hatak pero after 5k kilometers napansin ko bumagal. pinalitan ko ng fuel filter bumalik naman sa dati. 2 weeks ago nag 20 inch rims ako with 55 series tires.

kailangan ba sir palitan yung setting?

[IMm29]

I think your tires have some effect coz you went with 55 series. Usually it's 50 series for 20s to be within stock range.

The full exhaust mod will allow you to go up to setting 7 or 8. At least in my case.

You have the 1kz-te on your 120 right?

yes sir 1kz engine model. you're right there is a slight difference in the initial take-off. feels heavier so i need to press the gas pedal a little more. on the positive note series 55 tires have a similar ride with the stocks. fyi though i have ome shocks installed.

sir, how much would the exhaust upgrade cost me at smt?

[IMm29]

Ah really? Didnt notice much difference with the 50 series tires vs stock. Also on OMEs. Anyhow, have u also replaced the air filter?

SMT's black iron full 3inch exhaust is about p20k++. i forget how much exactly. For the exhaust note, type 'smt prado' in youtube.

thanks will check it out at youtube.

yes i already did. actually i was advised by chris pangilinan from berrima diesel to replace the air filter every 5thousand kms. i guess its s.o.p. which i ignored at first but having experience a change in the acceleration it prompted me to change the air filter immediately which from now on i will strictly follow.

regarding the 55 series vs. 50 series, maybe i guess the ride for both is pretty much the same. the reason i chose 55's is primarily due to my driving notably how i drive over potholes, etc. to me i guess 55's are more durable and resistant to road blemishes.

sir, any idea where i can purchase a 120 body kit?

[IMm29]

It's easier to just replace the stock air filter every 5t kms than to clean an aftermarket one. Based on berrima's tests on an LC, wala daw naman gains yung aftermarket type of drop-in sa stock element. I went with unifilter coz of feedback from pradopoint that it filters better.

Body kits? Never asked sorry.
