sir, magkano po ang mazda r2?

In my case, Php46,000 andito na sa Iloilo, siguro, mga 38,000-40,000 yung bli ng cousin ko sa blumentrit. Other than that bumili pa sya nang fuel pump and air cleaner.

Problema ko ngayon yung registration kasi wala pa ang papeles ng engine na galin sa LTO (Quezon ba yan or what), end of the month pa daw makukuha.

marami pala ang fitting job na kailangan kung gas to diesel engine change. a mechanic here said its drop-fit from kr2 to mazda r2. advised me also that its better to change the kr2 engine if kelangan nang i-overhaul, mas quieter daw ang mazda than kia. kumusta na ang sporty during roadtest sir?

Mga Bossing,

I'm from batangas!We're planning to buy a sportage!question lang po ok ba bumili sa CDO or cebu ng sportage surplus, reasonable kasi ang prize nya!Ano po mga dapat i check na documents para safe i byahe ng manila!

thanks,

i heard some if not most Cebuano sporty owners changed their engines to mazda r2, try to browse buy-n-sell sights baka masuerte ka may mga sporty owners disposing their already tuned-up sporty.
remember, most of this as-is sportys have been sitting without engine start in korea for some time before being shipped here.
i got mine at 180k as-is, with papers na, so no worries.

*here are the things i changed in my as-is sporty:
-timing belt
-all water jackets(kinalawang na maybe due to long stand-by in korea)
-all of the cooling system hoses(most if not all are already brittle resulting to leaks - resulting to overheat)
-master break system
-break pads/shoes
(did this one after another if i did this one time, mas naka mura cguro dahil isang baklas lang sa engine area hehe


some things you should look out for when buying (good if you have a mechanic background or bring a mechanic friend):
*engine
*water pump
*alternator
*fan(kung naka-lock na sya)
*usok, as long as black/dark wag lang white
*walang noise sa drivetrain
*suspension coils
*power steering
*go for manual Xmission

- if your going to cebu or cdo, do a change-oil/greasing/washing(with engine wash) and drive around a little bit to see its performance before the road-trip home.

bottom line, this is a very nice and reliable suv, been all around zampen with this baby currently running with an ave. of 12Km/Li (with aircon-on). still needs to do an injector tuneup/adjustment?? - might give a little to its fuel efficiency. good luck

ok naman yung takbo nya, pro hindi ko pa ma labas-labas sa bahay kasi hindi ko pa ma register (change engine). perfect yung mounting ng engine, may kaunting modification lang sa steering shaft at sa lalagyan ng battery since you need a bigger battery if the engine is diesel, yung ma busisi yung sa transmission nya. Talagang hiniwa yung sahig malapit sa tranny just to adapt the new transmission.

Ang una-una kung titignan yung fuel consumption nya. Hopefully I can register before this month will end.

Kalabas lang ng talyer kahapon. These are the new images I have:

am a newbie here.. am planning to buy a kia sportage short first gen. ano ba ang actual overall length sa unit na ito including the spare tire? of course excluding bull bar if any. ayoko kc ng may bull bar. ang nasa specs kasi sa kia site is bumper to bumper length dimension lang which is 167.1 inches. Sa may mga ganitong unit na, pls help. I was wondering kasi if this unit will fit to my car port which is only 169 inches. Thnx. GOD Bless.

sir, magkano ang grills? marami po bang option sa cebu?
i also want to know about the drivetrain noise. mine was particulary noisy when on 3rd gear. regular greasing helped some, but you can still notice noise during acceleration when the rpm is <1500.

hi huys..

ask ko lang po kung magkano ang price range ng sportage ngayon 1st gen plano ko po kasi bumili. at ano po ang fuel consumption nito?

1st gen sportages in Zamboanga ranges from 200k-270k. mine is a 2.0l diesel Kr2 non-turbo engine, averages 12km/liter with aircon. planning on doing the fuel injector tuneup, i hope it improves the fc.
