Pano po sir? Yung sakin po kasi kelangan naka diin ng todo yung clutch para ma i-start. Kahit po matting na medyo makapal nagiging sagabal sa pag start.
2012 po yung akin sir

Mga sirs,

Pag nag lagay ako ng malaking kandado sa Clutch? Pwedeng thief deterrent na rin?

by the time makita ng thief ang kandado sa clutch, ay nakapasok na siya sa kotse mo. malamang may binasag o may lock na nasira, para siya makapasok. and seeing that he can not drive away with your car, he simply proceeds to steal whatever he can inside your car..so where does that leave you?
the better theft deterrent is the one that is easily visible, such that the would-be thief will have second thoughts attempting to break into your car. which is what you wanted in the first place, right?

Kahit naman anong security ang ilagay sa car kung nanakawan or worse carnap wala din magagawa, pwede pa nga na i-tow lan yan palabasin nag ilegal parking pero ung car hindi naman dadalhin sa impounding area diretso na sa baklasan.

Comprehensive insurance pa din ang mas advisable kahit na yearly you have to spend cash. At least you have the added protection in case of accident and acts of nature.

Opo sir, naka limuta ko ilagay na sinasabay ko po sa steering wheel lock yung may highly visibility feature. Kahit obscure yung tint ko.

Ito po talaga ang pinag iipunan ko annually, kaso pag ni declare na total loss yung car, gaya ng total wreckage, babayaran kapa rin po ba?

Koito is an OEM brand din naman, so sulit na sulit yan hehe. Ang alam ko Koito brand ng fogs ng gen 2.5.

Sir quick question lang. Bakit po ba iisa lang ang ilaw para sa rear fog lamps?

Sir quick question lang. Bakit po ba iisa lang ang ilaw para sa rear fog lamps?

Here's an explanation. Taken from Wikipedia.

In Europe and other countries adhering to UN Regulation 48, vehicles must be equipped with one or two bright red "rear fog lamps" (or "fog taillamps"), which serve as high-intensity rear position lamps to be turned on by the driver in conditions of poor visibility to make the vehicle more visible from the rear. The allowable range of intensity for a rear fog lamp is 150 to 300 candela,[17] which is within the range of a U.S. stop lamp (brake light).[6] For this reason, some European vehicles imported to the United States have their rear fog lamps wired as stop lamps, since their European-specification stop lamps may not be sufficiently intense to comply with U.S. regulations. Further, rear fog lamps are not required equipment in the U.S., however, they are permitted, and are found almost exclusively on European-brand vehicles in North America — Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, MINI, Land Rover, Porsche, Saab and Volvo provide functional rear fog lights on their North American models. The final generation Oldsmobile Aurora also had dual rear fog lights installed in the rear bumper as standard equipment.

Rear fog lamps in the bumper of a European-spec Chevrolet CorvetteMost jurisdictions permit rear fog lamps to be installed either singly or in pairs. If a single rear fog is fitted, most jurisdictions require it to be located at or to the driver's side of the vehicle's centreline — whichever side is the prevailing driver's side in the country in which the vehicle is registered. This is to maximise the sight line of following drivers to the rear fog lamp. In many cases, a single reversing lamp is mounted on the passenger side of the vehicle, positionally symmetrical with the rear fog. If two rear fog lamps are fitted, they must be symmetrical with respect to the vehicle's centreline. Proponents of twin rear fog lamps say two lamps provide vehicle distance information not available from a single lamp. Proponents of the single rear fog lamp say dual rear fog lamps closely mimic the appearance of illuminated stop lamps (which are mandatorily installed in pairs), reducing the conspicuity of the stop lamps' message when the rear fogs are activated. To provide some safeguard against rear fog lamps being confused with stop lamps, UN Regulation 48 requires a separation of at least 10 cm between the closest illuminated edges of any stop lamp and any rear fog lamp.

Good read sir. Thank you

There is no 100% deterrent against a determined thief. Watch Gone in 60 Secs

All we can do is to make our rides a bit more unattractive to them like hiding bags and coins and installing a steering lock. Kung carjack naman insurance na bahala dyan.

I have to edit kasi masyadong revealing :D Baka may lurkers na carnappers sir.

Papa lipat ko na lang yung kill switch.

san ka nagpakabit ng kill switch?

[soyuz1234]

I was referring to the kill switch na nakakabit po sa Vios natin mga sir, requiring us to press the clutch to start the car.

Gusto ko sana ipalipat at mag kandado sa cluth :D o dagdagan ng isa pang kill switch
