[zechs]

thanks vicoyski, unfortunately wala ata kaming nakuhang touch up paint sa casa. will address them the problem na lang when it come to our next PMS. konti lang naman eh.

[leinahtan]

Got it for P950 at the Araneta Auto Center, along Araneta Avenue. Just look for Jeff Tan.

*Vicoyski, meron bang ibang models ung Stebel N? or just one type?

How does it sound compared to Bosch? Is it really LOUD ?
Sensya na, Bosch lang kasi yung alam mong BOSCHina na maingay eh. Kasama na ba installation dun?

[vicoyski]

P950 includes installation na. Just give a tip to the installer para ayusin ang gawa. Bosch is also a good horn. Your ride will sound like a Benz, which is quite cool.

Try to visit Stebel's website at www.stebel.it to see other models. You can also sample the sound of the horns there.

*beebs : but ka nga ganyan lang eh ... sa toyota kal, sabi nila kelangan ko daw magpurchase ng 250k worth of accessories. parang bumili na rin ako ng second hand na tiskot pansagi sa mga tricycle dito samen

ang gusto palagay saken ng toyota bitch na nakausap ko is mags & tires : R18 chrome (127k) + kelseat (65k) + door visor, muffler cutter, scuff plate, bumper cor. protector, front sunshade, chrome door housing, spare wheel lock, hands free kit, inverter, chrome mirror cover w/ led, body cladding, alarm ... all totalling to 252k ... wala pa insurance dun ... ang computation nga ng unit is close to 1.9mn na ... konti nlang durango na mas tigas pang tignan

Look at this!

It's a 2.7VVTi Fortuner converted to also run on LPG in Thailand...


Here's a closer look at the 80 liter multivalve LPG tank...

Went to the site. I liked the way the TM 80 Magnesium sounded like. Imo, the best sounding of the lot. The HF80 series bagay k Herbie.. he he he.

Usually the kind of honking sound that I like is similar to those of imported cars. It sounds solid without being overly annoying or loud. The horns of locally manufactured, CKD, and CBU cars sound like peep-squeaks.

try nu po sa gtd ms mura ang mags dun mahal lang ang tires pero mastercraft ang brand nung tires US made, parang sa amin it cost 83k mags and tires na set of 4

[kent]

*kent: I was looking at the pic of your unit... Did you really place neon lights under the body? Those are showroom effects... Do you plan to enter a competition? Also, how much did that bumper over-rider of yours cost and where'd you have it installed?

yup may neon po, hindi naman po sumasali sa competition pagala-gala lang po kami d2 sa place namin natuwa lang po sa neon lights

bumper overrider = 8500 * goldcars along banawe

[kent]

*kent... nice ride!!!
Btw, what's the specs of your wheels/tires?

tnx! : )
18" inch 5 spoke- a-line mags
265/60 R18 mastercraft avenger st tires

gusto sana 20" kaso ung road condition sa slex papunta sa quezon prov. mdyo hindi maganda para sa ganung size, tska matagtag na din ang 18's

What brand of sensor did you install in your Fortuner?

[jl888]

I also asked to have the back-up sensors painted, after seeing the body color back-up sensors of a Previa.

What brand/type of back-up sensor did you install for your Fortuner? Where did you buy it?

[herbularyo]

peeps, makukuha ko na raw unit ko next week! yahoo! problema ko, yung dalawang dealers na pinalahan ko yung tumawag. pinagpipilian ko kung 4x2 d4d or 2.7 vvti ang kukunin ko. by monday kailangan ko na mag-decide. ang fear ko kasi sa 2.5 d4d eh yung mga nababasa kong problems from fellow tsikoteers. re 2.7 vvti, yung fuel consumption. 90% highway driving ako. need some advice. thanks!

Mga Sir / Mam:

I'm a new member of this forum but i've been reading the posts for several months na. Anyway my dealer called me up today to inform me that my unit: Fortuner 4x2 2.5L d4d G variant will be available with in the month. My problem is the same with "beebs". I've read in the previous posts that it has some minor problems: eg: hard starting etc.. I need your advice. Thanks in advance

Go with it. Who knows, you might be one of those lucky D4D owners. Good luck.

already took out my name...

[vicoyski]

What brand/type of back-up sensor did you install for your Fortuner? Where did you buy it?

Honestly, I didn't get to see the brand of the sensor that the dealership installed. The control unit is stuck inside the housing for the tools and the jack, so I can't see the brandname. But, it works great.

*mazdamazda: I'm kinda sad that you've decided to pull-out. I was looking forward to hearing that you've already got your unit.

Visited the site, too. The TM 80 Magnum sounded like a tenor, and the Nautilus is a baritone. Nice sound! Dual tone variant's the better of the lot... Worthy alternative to Bosch.

*herb....We can't exactly say if the D4D problem in the Fortuner is statistically significant since a very few, probably a couple of 2.5G owners had this problem, unlike in the D4D Innova. Since the engines of these 2 vehicle variants are identical, we're actually extrapolating the problem to the Fortuner. I've been using mine (2.5G) since September and i never had this problem. It could be a batch problem in fuel system/pump, injectors, fuel quality, amongst other things, that have been already discussed in countless posts.

Having a diesel engine requires more technical and hands-on involvement on the part of the owner. The VVTi is practically trouble-free, proven in the Altis and RAV4 platform. You'll have peace of mind. The D4D is still experiencing "growing pains". With all the recent experiences on the D4D, you have to take the risk. Risk vs peace of mind. Weigh your preferences very well. I never had second thoughts on getting the D4D variant. The choice is yours...
