Sa Payless (Federal) free ang nitro, balancing and alignment. May bayad lang tingga. Not sure kung may bayad din pito.

Nung last ako nagpakabit sa Bridgestone BGC (tagal na nun hehe) free alignment and balancing lang. May dagdag sa nitro. Not sure kung ano promo sa malapit sa warehouse nila sa Pasong Tamo.

Not really banawe. Its an appartment almost in the intersection of Del Monte and D. Tuazon almost across Parco and PBcom(? not sure) bank. Kay Miller sa P. Tuazon free ang Nitro and balancing. Sa isang store, i forgot the name in N.Roxas, kumho ang brand na carry nila and naka Altis na beige ang may ari free rin ang nitro and balancing. Sa store na pinagkuhaan namin ng Toyo DRBs na libre rin ang nitro and balancing sa konting haggle. Dun kami sa maraming DUB mags bumili beside BDO in banawe near kaliraya.

Based on forum posts though I'd avoid Miller unless gusto mo magpalit ng mags

May naka experience na ba sa inyo na masikip yung hinge ng hood? Hindi siya flawless pag open and close.

Regarding sa tires, A-drive na gamit namin sa 14 na steelies namin. Ok namam sa wet and dry. Mas tahimik kesa sa stock na dunlop. And mas maganda handling sa wet. Kagabi sa skyway hinataw ko ng 160kph lakas ng ulan

experienced this last January lang. yung tipong napaka-tigas. one time, pinilit kong buksan kasi ichecheck ko yung coolant. ayun, natuluyang maputol. almost 1 week ko din hindi mabuksan yung hood ko. buti na lang madali lang ipagawa. manipis pala yung stock na alambre nung lever. pinapalitan ko ng mas makapal. ngayon, kahit daliri lang kaya ng buksan yung lever.

8.5k nga benta namin sa stock E rims. Used for 30k kms. May at least 50% tread pa. Lugi ka dyan sa 8k hehe gamitin mo muna ng husto. I-burn out mo.

What to do with the stockers. If there was room, I'd keep the stock rims/tires for PMS and for long drives.

The OEM set of the wife's Gen 1 is still with us in storage. Have never put them back though since I got 2nd hand 16s from Freddie's 6 years back (tagal na din pala). Sabagay, have never also driven the Gen 1 farther than Sonya's garden in Tagaytay. If you make farther runs, the stockers would be easier on the gas budget and on performance. Plus hindi masama loob mo kung masama nag kalyeng madaanan mo. In my case, however, I got the 16s for handling. Nakakatakot yung stock 14s. Kaya on the car the 16s have stayed.

On the Prado, I kept the stock 17s for a while, thinking my dad was going to get a van/pickup that could use them. Di pala, kaya binenta ko na. Makapal pa naman ang goma ng 20s, kaya pwede isabak, basta wag lang paakyat ng gilid ng bundok. Kung madali lang sana makahiram ng OEM 16s ng Starex for PMS ite-trade in ko na kay Freddie yung stock ko. Habang hindi pa naman siya nagrereklamo sa pinapatago ko, dun na muna. Hehe!

What are your spare tires ? I have seen a 2007-09 1.5G pre-facelift issued a black painted steel rims for its spare.

I guess its a buyer's market for common OEM mag wheels.

If only I had one of those 1.3 taxi edition or 1.3 J, then the mags from the 1.3E would be a great upgrade from the steel rims. Tires as is.

Although the steel rims are tougher and durable.

Our 2011 E came with an Enkei spare

Them rims are pretty light. Hardly broke a sweat changing one in the basement parking.

**basti08** · August 3rd, 2012 11:29 AM

Yup, those making a one model up upgrade would be the best to get your mags. Best is swap your mags for rims (rims only kasi same tires lang ang E and J) plus another 5-8K? If possible hehehe

Still saving your tires and getting rims in exchange so you can still use it in emergency, baratin mo rims kasi rims lang naman hehehe

I usually sell the tires then just keep the rims.

Our 2007 1.3E (one of the first units) had a black spare rim.

Even my 2010 1.5G have black 15" rims as spare. Still thankful than having a donut spare.

**renzo_d10** · August 3rd, 2012 06:39 PM

I have OEM Enkei's as my spare. No donuts.

Got my new dealer plates as I went to TQA a while ago. Saw in flesh the Toyota 86 as well. Beautiful ride.

Sir, yung hinge yung masikip sa akin e. Hindi ko nga alam bakit. Biglaan lang. Subukan ko lagyan ng oil bukas

**vinj** · August 3rd, 2012 09:06 AM

Naputulan na rin kami ng hood cable. Pero Ondoy edition naman kasi yung Vios na yun.

**Chikselog** · August 3rd, 2012 07:30 PM
