haha hindi naman paps, pero normally, when you fit larger rims, you'll want to take up the slack by going with a smaller tire profile. since you get less space for air, you'd be bumping the tire pressure kaya nasasabi nila tumatagtag... when i still ran 17s on my t171 corona (R17 / 40 / 215) the recommended pressure was 40psi...matagtag nga haha nung nagpalit kami ng R15 / 60 / 195, we can go lower, mas comfortable ang ride.  nung naka 55 series pa ko, i used to go as low as 23-25psi for the front so i can get more grip on track (but that was a year and a half ago pa)...pero narealize ko hindi din pala ganon ka ok ito kasi a boxtype is setup with positive camber (as with most vehicles) from the factory. di ko pa natry sa current tires ko, i'm looking to try to run with lower tire pressure sa sabado  getting negative camber on wider rims is a different story - ito ang current na hinahabol ko. balitaan ko kayo with what happens after i get through with my current suspension project


uu taga manda lang ako hehe sige kita tayo minsan. kung taga boni ka baka nakikita mo na ako pagala gala - green, almost grey lancer box. ayos lang yan paps para magkatutuhan tayo lahat! di kasi ako nagpapamekaniko, so most jobs on a car (unless may kinalaman sa suspension, but that will change soon) i do it at home

ramdam din naman talaga nating lahat mga drivers ang urge na magpark kung saan yung pupuntahan natin.. lalo na pag wala naman talagang designated parking lot, kumbaga lahat tayo innate ang ugaling "selfish" pagdating sa kalsada kasi nga mas uunahin natin ang sariling convenience kahit na ma-sacrifice mo yung convenience naman ng nasa paligid mo.

parang dyan sa pag park nyang gunggong na yan.. kahit ilang beses na syang pinagsabihan na bawal magpark dun eh baka naman kasi wala na talaga syang ibang mapaparkingan or sobrang layo na nung susunod na spot na pwede nyang parkingan.. kaya siguro nagdecide sya na kahit na bawal eh for his own convenience eh ginawa na nya.

ang siste baka naman may ibang taong naagrabyado dahil sa ginawa nya..

so tama lang sa kanya yan.. baka kung samin nangyari yan baka di lang ganyan ang gagawin ko.

[spadettie]

Many Filipino motorists would rather deface their motor-vehicle license plates--yes, those officially issued by the Land Transportation Office--than attach these to their cars in their original form. We see plates that have been stripped of their paint and adorned with subtly different art; plates covered by such dark plastic you can hardly recognize the alphanumeric figures; or plates made entirely for vanity (or number-coding exemption). In other words, many car owners do not possess a high regard for what is otherwise a legally mandatory motoring article.

Why is that?

One of our readers, Stephen Nicolas Malaluan, may have provided us with an irrefutable answer, and it's that our license plates are of such poor quality that some people think of them as a joke.

The photos you see here were sent by Stephen, who wrote: "I just got the plates for my new car. Before that, I had plates custom-built with my conduction sticker's info embossed on them. When I got the LTO-issued plates, I was disappointed. Compared with the custom-built, unofficial plates, the quality of the LTO plates is very poor. The edges have unevenly cut and sharp portions that will surely scratch the car's paint. And the paint even have fingerprint smudges! Did they think they were making a GT-R engine so they had to leave a personal mark on the finished product? I paid almost the same price for the custom plates, but the difference in quality is very apparent. We really need to retire the current-design plates already. And I hope they'll get rid of corruption when they produce the new ones so the quality won't suffer."

Wow. These are very incriminating images. We've even heard stories about the screw holes not being aligned or something. We definitely do not deserve this. It's not an excuse to break the law, but would you be excited to attach these plates to your new car?



ang malupit nito kasi wala tayong choice.. mandatory ng mga gunggong na to ang policy na yan na magpapalit tayo ng walang kwentang plaka..

dig this mga pre.. a few weeks from now may mga magrereklamo ng motorista about this plates.. di ako magtataka kung kusang kumalas sa turnilyo nila yang mga yan at mahulog sa highway ng di mo alam..

another P480 bucks nanaman yun for them.

kalokohan. parang high school student lang ang gumawa nitong mga plaka ahh. may smudges pa, ewan ko lang kung sample yan. pero kung bigla kang pinara ng mga tauhan ng LTO at nakita yan, iisipin pa nilang peke 'yang mga bagong vehicle plates, P*tcha! ubod ng dumi.

[fizz450_03]

^ sir, it's an insult to hs students haha even primary kids can do better!!!

but really, such poor quality plates. i mean yes it's not for decoration, but who in their right mind would be happy to pay for such a poorly made product?

kala ko nang-threadjack na ako nung nabasa ko yung unang paragraph. 

yun nga yung kinaiinis ko dito eh, plate numbers serves as an identities para sa mga sasakyan natin, hindi decoration. kung ito na yung finished product ng kanilang kagunggungan este pagsisikap na maisa-ayos ang sistema ng pagbibigay ng identification para sa mga sasakyan natin, siguraduhin lang nila na maayos yan.

[fizz450_03]

haha bro baka dahil sa "identity" ng oto natin yung plaka kaya kelangan may pingerprint ng gumawa! 

[ME-30maniac]

haha bro baka dahil sa "identity" ng oto natin yung plaka kaya kelangan may pingerprint ng gumawa! 

pero dapat fingerprint natin, hindi sa kanila. saan kaya nila ito ginawa? sa likod ng bahay ni Sec. Abaya?

[rockophoria]

naku men.. hindi talaga ako marunong magkalikot sa kotse.. alam ko lang mag drive, pero metikuloso lang talaga ako sa preventive maintenance.. tama ka rin kung matututunan ko iDIY to mas makakatipid ako.. for sure papalo ng around 5k lahat lahat ang babayaran ko nito sa Servitek next week..

ah oo yung napisak na mekaniko ng aircon.. sa June 1 isang taon na yun..

alam mo ba parati ko nadadaanan yung shop kung saan nangyari yun.. tapos ang nakakatawa pa tuwing dadaan ako dun eh bumabagal yung traffic so mapapatigil at mapapatigil ako sa tapat pa mismo nung shop nya.. pero di ko sure kung naaalala pa nung may ari yung kotse ko.. at di rin naman siguro ako naaaninag nun kasi naka uber-manyak tints ako hehehe

[spadettie]

eh pano tol pagdaan mo, nakita mo yung deads na mekaniko, nakatayo dun at nakatingin sayo duguan? hahahaha

[rockophoria]

eh pano tol pagdaan mo, nakita mo yung deads na mekaniko, nakatayo dun at nakatingin sayo duguan? hahahaha

hahah pota di naman siguro, maraming tao dun sa lugar na yun so hindi nakakatakot.. unless nalang mag-hitch sya sa kotse ko yun matatakot talaga ako dun..

niloloko ko nga yung officemate ko eh.. sabi ko sa kanya paano pag may sakay syang chicks dun sa kotse nya tapos sasabihin nung chicks "nakakakilabot namang ang lamig ng aircon mo.." tapos marerealize nya HINDI NAMAN NAKABUKAS ANG AIRCON NYA hahahaha

pero seriously sabi nya wala naman daw eerie na nangyayari sa kotse nya after nun mapisak yung mekaniko.. siguro daw kasi nag abot sya dun sa pamilya.. baka daw kung di sya nag abot eh baka dun daw sya multuhin nun hehe

[fizz450_03]

eh pano tol pagdaan mo, nakita mo yung deads na mekaniko, nakatayo dun at nakatingin sayo duguan? hahahaha
