May nakaexperience na po ba mag gas sa caltex? Nanotice ko parang lumakas tunog ng makina after ko magpacrudo sa caltex, did anyone here experience this? Tapos parang humina yung hatak lalo na sa overtaking.. Dati kasi pag nag tiptoe ako e arangkada agad. Di ko lang sure kung dahil sa change oil kasi after ko nagchange oil, nagshift ako to caltex. Your comments and insights will be highly appreciated. TIA!

Sa akin sa Petron Max ko na-experience yan, umingay ang makina, then unti unti humina ang arangkada, after 3 months pinalitan ng casa yung SCV at nilinis yung EGR. One bad load of fuel lang kahit haluan mopa ng V-power or Turbo P long time ang effect.

Advise ko sa iyo dalhin mona sa casa at ipa check SCV at EGR.

Hi Sirs,

Pasensya na po kung malayo sa current topic. I just got my GTV last January 2012. I am planning on changing the wheels for a better look. I saw on previous pages of this thread about somebody changing their for 24". It would certainly look nice but I don't want to lose it's off-road capability so I'm planning on limiting the change to one of those shiny 20" rims. Malaki ba magiging difference sa ride nung Monty ko kung 20"rims with 275/50/520 tire? Meron iba nagpapachrome na lang ng stock rims. Baka naman kasi malaki difference sa ride quality using larger diameters? Isa pa, yun bang TPMS sensor ba eh maililipat din sa new rims? I would appreciate getting feedbacks from any of you who has experience changing their wheels.

sir, if you are planning on going to 24" medyo ramdam mo na nga yung road because of the low sidewall. you can ask sir zix, naka 28" yan (astig!). but sa 20" okay naman yun ride, actually am also on 20" kasi. then regarding sa TPMS, as long as yung rims na pipiliin mo has the slot for such, no problem ka dun sir...

For as long as your wheel's valve stem mounting looks like this,Â*



you can have your oem sensor on your new wheels.

But if the valve stem will be mounted in this manner,



our oem sensor wont fit.
Btw here is how our oem sensor looks like



My 26" is daily driven for 2 years, sacrifice talaga ang ride, ingat talaga sa mga lubak

Yung 28" naman talagang for show lang, parang walang goma when you drive them, ramdam mo lahat ng makikita mo sa road.Â*

I started at 24"s, daily driven din for more than 2years. North(manaog) to south(batangas/tagaytay) naman even with 7pax and bagahe eh walang problema. But medyo bumpy na din.Â*

If you really want to put on 24s, here is what you need,
Offset not less thanÂ*+30mm, if you can getÂ*+35-38mm much better. With these offsets plus 305 35 24 tires , perfect fit, no rubbing and splashing.Â*

Just to give you an idea on how offset works(because usually what we have here in the local shops areÂ*+15mm offsets), we mounted my old 24s Â*+15mm offset 305 35 24 tires from my pajero fm to 2010 montero gls, we had to cut some parts of the mudguard just to be able to fit.Â*

Plus mayroon pang bonus na ganito



So stay away from offsets lower thanÂ*+30mm

Not on a Montero Sport but in another car (Crosswind and MB100). Yes, whatever is playing on the main unit (TV/DVD/FM), yun din ang lalabas sa ibang monitors. As long as the head unit has a video out.

What I don't like about the aftermarket headrests is ang luwag ng tilt adjustment. It won't hold in the 'yuko' position very well. Yun pa naman ang ideal for whiplash protection and for the rear passengers to view the screen. hehe.

If you want to be sure, the shop can test it naman. If they are too lazy to do so, try going to another shop. Testing it is not terribly difficult. Just need to pull out the stock head unit.

Hi Zix888,

Thank you for the very informative pictures and insights :-) . I'll probabaly stay with the 20"s with 30+ offset. The Dropstars DS03 or VCT Romano from Concept One looks right. I will just have to check the offset. By the way , the PCD of our Monty is 139.7 right? The VCT Romano is 139 exactly. Do you think it would still fit wheel hub/studs?
