2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [continued]

[kutangbato]

Sir I just like to share that oem tires isnt a perfect match after all. On oem, I am running 140kph on my gtv's speedometer, but actual speed readings from 2 gps units read just 132kph. I tried 265 70 17 tires and my readings were identical (gtv's , 2 gps units) meaning, the stock tires are a bit small than what it should be. Changing to 265 70 will be perfect, giving you exact speedometer reading. Power and torque is negligible, we are just talking of 2.64 lbs of rotating mass. Change all the lug nuts with a performance nuts and it's gonna be all even.

+1 .....thank you zix888

this is good information. i have my eyes on the 265 70s for the additional height it will give

how about the MIS readings on average speed and fuel economy? will the new tires have an effect? although, this is really minor since those readings are only indicative not exact and for fuel economy, the manual method of computation is still the best for me

You are right sir, manual computation is still the best para sakin, iyong sa mids are more of just an idea lang, hindi naman exact yon

*zix- nice info sir very helpful coz i am planning to change my stock rims to 20" or 22", please help what tire size should i get?

Sir sa 20s puwede na 265 50 and for 22s naman 265 40. Best choice na po yan for our monty, since major consideration natin eh iyong heavy steering, plus economical/practical din because ang dami po nyan tire size na yan dito satin. Overall height stands pretty much the same as our oems.

I think kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. The 2.5K camera by tsikot is mounted at the LTO plates screw....may chance na manakaw although pwede yung DIY ng one of the forumers who cut out the plate cover. The one offered by the CASA is OEM kaya pricey and di ito mananakaw because it is mounted at the rear plate lamps replacing the OEM lamps. In order for it to be removed you have to open the trunk door and remove the back sidings to access it. Plus, assured ka na i-honor yung electrical warranty ng Mitsubishi lalo na sa MID, and this is my experience.

So it really depends on what you want, kung important sa inyo ang price, then go for the 2.5K camera, kung important sa inyo ang OEM and warranty not of the camera per se because lahat naman magbibigay ng warranty, but the warranty of the electrical/MID system, then go for the CASA or winterpine camera.

Amen....

Since I'm a cheap guy, I'm leaning for the 2.5k Camera.... however, I was looking at the plate mounted camera and I kinda dont like the way it stands out, plus the cable run thats very visible, I was thinking of using a bumper mount/hole type, since we have the 2 sonar mounts at the sides, mounting the "bumper camera" would be a welcome symetry, plus no cable runs and a little hard for thieves. If you want to remove it, you can always put in a OEM plug, a non-working sonar (if you can find one) or "why remove it?" right?

Any comments?

there is a plate light mounted camera. just another option for you.
well there are several problems..

one is about the warranty since you can buy it and installed from a third party.

second, they will removed one of your plate light (since the camera has a built-in plate LED light.)

third, you have to replaced your other plate light into LED to balance the brightness.

which will cost you more than the plate mounted camera.

already inquired din po for a TV tuner but still waiting pa daw for the special cable na naman...need the cable for A/V input sa MID...

Special Cable na naman! WTF.

Garbe itong MMPH at winterpine ah!

Benta ko na lang kaya itong HU's na OEM, bili na lang ako ng Pioneer an AV unit?

Hmmmm....

*GGMMS,

Nga noh? daming hassle.... haay hirap din mag mod.

hehe ganun talaga..
but the plate light mounted camera is nicer than the plate mounted one.
nakatago ang wire, but sakit makita putulin nila ang ilang wire dun hehehe.

my friend just installed it to his fort, so i saw how they did it.
it also match sa ating monty (camera). you can also put a switch so you can view your rear even if your not backing. i dont know if possible sa hu ng monty ang switch.

btw, he replaced the oem hu of his fort into a pioneer.

I been using diesel engine for a long time mazda, nissan and lately isuzu. In fairness montero v is quite engine.

Salamat sir sa inputs!! mkkha ko na later yung monty ko!!! anu ba ang mga tricks sa pagmaintain ng diesel? every ilang kms ang maintenance and anu anu yun?

thanks chief!!

good evening ask ko lang po kung saan maganda mag pagawa ng leather seat covers for monty. sa ace po 10k ang price eh. mukhang pangit ang quality. thanks po.

Sir, try lederland at west ave. Galing nila gumawa and it cost me 8k only. Look for Jimmy the owner, madali pa kausap.
