Di nya pala kasalanan vinj. Someone jerked his steering wheel, apparently a drunk girl so his rs ended up somewhere na nakabaligtad. Grabe! Hirap talaga pag lasing

That must have been quite a jerk. It takes a pretty considerable speed and an obstacle (or soft shoulder) to get a car turned over; Especially if its a sport tuned car with wide wheels and perhaps, a sport suspension(?).

Anyways, if i were the TS, i would jack up the cash savings first before buying again. Sayang lang kung i-finance ang balance sa second hand car... mataas din interest rate nun and accelerated yung payment. Most banks and FIs also don't loan out on cars older than 5 years old AFAIK.

104 wheel HP lang ang FD??? Man that's low. The old B13 1.6L Sentras used to get 100-105 (even 110) wheel HP with a good set of headers and an well-designed air intake. I guess the modern emission controls really takes its toll on output.

Sobrang kailangan ko po kasi ng car, almost lahat po kasi ng ginagawa ko is sa manila, sa laguna pa po ako.

btw,

upon scrolling sa sulit, nakita ko yung mga subic cars, kunwari,MRs etc etc, lahat sila halos 350-400k lang, naisip ko tuloy, etong mga to, stock lang pogi na, yun nalang kaya? hahaha, tingin nyo po?

Subic cars? You mean Japan surplus converted? Baka pahihirapan ka on registration bro. Hindi mo pa alam kung ano yung state ng conversion niya.

Pasok naman ang 2008 na FD sa 400k ah. 1.8S panga eh, at di 1.8V. This one for example... Honda Civic - 08 1.8s | Cars for sale Quezon City | AyosDito.ph Reasonable mileage, looks well preserved. Seems worthy of a visit. Being 1.8S, it has airbags and ABS too. Manual tranny also means it makes a bit more than 104whp.

Well, can't argue about the necessity of the car given your location of home and work

But looking at your buying choices (MRS, Civic, etc.), hindi lang necessity yung habol mo pero porma din it seems. If necessity then you would do best to look for a simple but well kept car and easy to maintain car within your budget range of 200K to 250K plus change for repairs and maintenance (i.e. City, Vios, Getz, Picanto, etc.).

On converted cars, keep away if you're not sure with what you're getting into. But yeah, at 400K, a Civic or Corolla fits the bill.

Yeah, 104whp lang yung 1.8AT na tinest nila Sid. Even the 1.6GLX EX Lancer MT got higher figures, around 110whp ata baseline IINM.

I think transmission plays a big role on power output talaga

Yup, an m/t will definitely put out more power at the wheels; a torque converter really saps up HP.

Depends on the Subic car you are buying. My ninong bought a Japan surplus LC90 Prado. Ang ganda talaga. No major problems since buying. When it was Ondoy'd, inayos lang ng talyer sa tabi tabi, at yun ang unang naayos sa lahat ng mga nalubog na sasakyan nila.

Ok ang Subic car if you are sure that no expense was spared on the conversion, it has clean papers, and it has local counterparts for you to source spare parts from.
