BMW M3 GTR.. in love with it.. kahit hanggang tingin lang..

British Leyland Mini 1000 - kotse ni Mr. Bean.. cute.

nakakita ako sa may kapitbahay namin (kulay silver nga lang sya), parang gusto kong carnap-in..

i meant available sa local dealers. i have seen it here already here sa taguig. but most prolly, shipped from abroad.

[hiei]

naiiyak ako sa thread na ito.... it's been 6 years and still counting when i had my last car.... ipon mode pa rin. here are my Xs

1st car Lancer GSR 1997 - initially set-up for show and sounds - it has the customary separates, amp, CD changer and 2 12" subs... tapos nahilig ako sa body kit kaya pakabit ng evo IV kit, euro type free flowing muffler and big a$$ 17in rims... i tried drag for a while pero friendly gauges with friends.... found out my lancer is a slow poke... it just look fast.. ika nga all show no go. then napabarkada ko sa mga tumatakbo sa subic international raceway.

then my car was born-again.. binalik ko to stock specs, tanggal lahat ng body kit and restored sa dating itsura minus the spoiler. tanggal lahat ng emblems. palit ng light weight 15in mags then usual bolt-ons - airfilter, longer suppressor and better exhaust system... di ko lang tinanggal ang sounds but kung may takbo sa RWYB. madali naman tanggalin.

2nd car honda civic EG hatchback... my dream car noon pa. it's a slow poke kaya engine transplant from a civic type-R EK9 na B16b engine... it also have the other goodies dahil front cut galing - big brakes, 5 lug wheel hub, CTR OEM springs, nissin calipers and LSD... palit rin ng mags to lightweight 15incher.. usual bolt-ons lang for upgrade since the car is already beyond my abilities - airfilter, 2in pipes, front/rear upper/lower strut bars, stiffer lowering springs  and JASMA muffler. more than 1 year bago ko nagamay i-drive sa track. my plan even backed fire kala ko bring the best bakal to push me to higher class kaso nahirapan akong i-drive unlike the GSR na match with my abilities and even able to outrun bigger displacement cars sa class ko.

ngayon, i just ride my biskleta still saving for my porker

kuntento na ako sa b16b na modification.. masaya na akong i-drive ang eg nun. pero ek pa rin ang gusto ko... haha


btw, ano yung front cut? ito ba yung galing Japan?

[hiei]

oo, B16b is more than enough for the track. actually, kung ulitin ko lahat ng ginawa ko, nag-stick muna ako sa 1.2L kapag na-maximize na ng driving skills saka palang upgrade to B16b which is a big leap na rin.

lahat ng surplus engines galing ng japan. kung front cut buong harap literally i-cut so it includes the whole engine including components like radiator, ilaw, front fenders, LSD, close ratio gearing etc... swerte na lang ako nakasama pati rear disc brakes and springs... kung half cut from back ng front seat all the way to the bumper naman ang putol

re: FJ... mayroon ninong nun i think he got it for 2M nung unang labas at sa mga importer nya nakuha. sad thing lang with FJ parang tigil na rin ang production life nito kasi di ata kumita. pero sarap i-drive nito. kino-convince ko dati barkada ko na eto kunin instead of the camry. tinest drive namin and di ka bitin. maganda handling, sa hilly twisties namin dinala, ni minsan di nag-gear hunting tulad ng CRV. yep, A/T tinest namin kasi un ang gusto ng kaibigan ko. the best na FJ na nilabas ung tom's equipped.... wala ka ng papalitan.

ahh.. thanks!!
oo maayos yung FJ pero sa states ko nasubukan yan (sumakay lang).  dati kasi pinagpilian kung van (sienna) or yung FJ. magiging family car kasi so my cousin ended up getting the sienna.

[hiei]

excellent choice ang sienna for family car... maluwag at may ample space pa para sa luggages... ung FJ pang binata hehehe excellent bike carrier parehas ng honda element kasi very spartan ng interior.

eclipse- khit 98, color black.. ganda

speaking of eclipse, a 98 model costs around 700K kahit second hand na. ang mahal pa rin.

[hiei]

the locally released units used to ballpark 1M during the late 90s. sadly, lahat automatic... same sentiments w/ nissan 200SX lahat AT the imported ones naman afaik is around 400K... imo the gen1 and gen2 eclipse are the best compared to the newer version 

the limited number LHD evo IV RS ang gusto ko kaso 1.4M ata sa casa ang mahal nito noong late 90s to early 2000... even the engine swap ng 4G63T w/ all the evo knick-knacks to a lancer EL, laking project! a friend na kasabay ko w/ my b16b civic EG project did the 4G63T EL evo... 700K nagastos nya not including the recipient car   ngayon relatviely mababa na para makakuha ng evo even with the orig LHD.

[angelo]

alam ko meron locally available na LHD evo kaso may 2 months lead time pa. and afaik its more than 2M PHP.
parang mas magaan tingan yung kaha nung mga 90's model than the one they have now.

anyway, kung talagang short sa budget, kuha ka na lang nung ex. maganda na rin kahit stock lang.

[hiei]

di ko na alam presyuhan sa atin pero mas madali ng makabili ng evos and even exotics. afair 20 units lang ata ng evo IV officially release thru dealership. and its bare walang -> aircon, recaro seats (regular seats lang), magwheels (steel rims lang), brembo (regular calipers lang), power amenities, foglights (plastic cover lang)... dahil RS which makes it relatively cheaper than the GSRs (the one with the complete options).. pero most after ang RS since its an enthusiast model na i-upgrade rin

kung my budget sa EX, older evo models na lang i heard na mas mura pa rin... kahit RHD kelangan lang mahusay mag-convert di naman problem ang kit since readily available namn.

[pinoybrusko]

wow meron din pala mahilig sa cars dito 

kaso ung sasakyan ko SUV hinde car

actually ok na yung conversion na gawang Pinas, problema lang yung mga kits, kailangan maganda talaga yung pagka-chop at buo pa yung mga parts na nabaligtad.

hindi rin ako masyadong familiar sa conversion ng mga lancer. hindi ko alam kung limited, pero mukhang hindi naman. basta haba lang din ng lead time para sa mga orders. tapos ang laki ng DP. medyo kawawa ka talaga. buti pa mag import na lang tapos convert. JDM pa. hehe
