may alam k b...kung san pwede mag panitro at how much....makati area me...ty

- Bridgestone, Global City - P400/set
- there are several tire shops along Evangelista which offer nitro - no idea about the cost
- tire shop beside Petron (across Shell) on Macapagal Ave. - P400/set including spare

Where did you have your seatcovers made and for how much?

[ManicMan]

pwede rin ba sa kahit anong sasakyan yang nitro nitro na yan? san po matatagpuan yan? ako sa caloocan san kaya? sa mindanao ave meron ba? tnx

maybe this will help:

Mahal naman ng nitro nila.. I pay only 200 at Servitek Congressional branch. I dont know for the other branches.

dude alam mo ba yung MCS tapat ng shell libertad (malapit sa Rizal funeral).. look for Mario nalang.

This is a good read from Honda/Acura.

Nitrogen Inflation: What’s Our Position?

Surf any automobile tire-related website these days, and you’ll likely see something mentioned about nitrogen inflation. It’s becoming a hot topic. We’ve gotten a number of inquiries lately concerning American Honda’s position on this practice.

When it comes to inflating automobile tires, it’s our position that ordinary, dry compressed air— which is about 80 percent nitrogen already—is the best choice. That’s because it’s more readily available, and the benefits of using nitrogen simply don’t appear to outweigh those of using compressed air.

The practice of inflating tires with nitrogen really isn’t anything new; it’s been around a long time. It’s been commonly used on aerospace vehicles, commercial and military aircraft, military vehicles, race cars, and even heavy off-road construction equipment. Here’s why:

• To meet rigid safety and performance specs, the required tire inflation pressures are often very high, especially in the aerospace industry. The tire inflation pressure for NASA’s space shuttle, for instance, is a whopping 315 psi!

• Nitrogen is an inert gas; it doesn’t combust or oxidize.

• The process used to compress nitrogen excludes water vapor. Water vapor can expand if the temperature climbs above 212°F.

• Tires inflated with nitrogen leak slower over time than those inflated with compressed air.

Automobile tires, on the other hand, are subjected to an entirely different set of conditions. Here’s why inflating tires with nitrogen offers no real advantages:

• Although tires inflated with nitrogen leak slower over time than those inflated with compressed air, they still leak and need to be reinflated to maintain proper pressure. If you can’t find a place that offers nitrogen inflation—and there aren’t yet all that many places that do—your only option left is to reinflate with compressed air. Doing that drops the nitrogen purity.

• Nitrogen offers no better protection against road hazards such as cuts and punctures. So no matter what you inflate the tire with, you still need to check the condition and pressure of the tires at least once a month as recommended in the O/M.

• Tires that are inflated with compressed air and properly maintained offer the same fuel economy, tread wear, and ride comfort as those inflated with nitrogen.

• Nitrogen for automobile tires is produced by nitrogen generators, which typically get about 95 percent purity. But to actually get that level of purity into an automobile tire, you would have to deflate and inflate that tire with nitrogen several times. If you’re not careful doing this repeated deflation and inflation process, the purity level winds up being closer to 90 percent (compared to the approximate 80 percent nitrogen already in compressed air). Because of this, those claims of less pressure loss with nitrogen aren’t valid.

So here’s the bottom line: Nitrogen is an ideal gas for inflating tires in aircraft, military vehicles, race cars, and heavy off-road equipment, but when it comes to automobile tires, it offers no apparent advantages over ordinary, dry compressed air. Our advice to you: Just stick with the air you breathe.

Ganda nito sir. Saan and how much to?

Sa seatmate po. 5.5k po, pero pwede ba ihaggle to 5.3k po.

Want to share you the good news...
I made downpayment and hope to get the 1.5 Silver in a week or two. Upgraded the stock sound system to AVT 998 and request installation of fog lamp, tail gate spoiler and rain visor.

Hope to join your EB soon. Thanks

Hey peeps, I'm just wondering if you recently received a survey questionnaire from Honda Cars Philippines. The survey asked very specific questions on how you rate the build quality and performance of your Jazz unit.

Regards to all.

Yep, however, what my wife got is a phone call. It was during the last week of January. She also had the chance to rate the agent from Honda Pasig (that is where we got our GE)

Phillip sent me a text, ready na daw covers ko :D kaso sa weekend pa ko magkaka-time to get it, para ma-fit na rin ng maayos at hindi ma-madali.
Pics to follow when I get it done.

Hmmm, napadaan ako nung Saturday after lunch dun sa Coventry, and I saw a TW GE, 1.5, ikaw na ba to bro?
