Check ko lang kung bagay or medyo maliit nga gaya ng sabi ng iba...

Sir renzo, sobrang liit ng OEM Mudguard ng accent. It ain't serving its purpose kasi tingin ko, the body still would be caught up by the mud splash from the tires...

Kaya ginawa ko, hehehehe, modified an OEM SONATA YF Mudguards, it extended reasonably sa fender, and my door handles never get caught up by muds during hard rainy days...

Kinatay ko yong OEM Mudguard ng sonata using my dremmel.

While sa likod, I have to reheat the plastic and mold it to exactly fit to the contours of the rear bumper. Then filled the stock screw holes with plastic fillers (masilya) kasi hindi tugma sa accent. Then use fillers also on the rear mudguards kasi nga I heated them to shape them up according to the contours of the bumpers. Plastic primer, then painted them with matte black...

Here is the front

And here is the rear mudguards.

Hehehe, hindi pa nahugasan ang sasakyan as this was taken early today after a mild rain yesterday...

*meikey : Thanks bro. Yup, saw it when I did a little backreading. Galing.

If ever, baka hindi nalang muna ako mag-mudguards. BTW, how's your FC ? Okay ba ? And no knocking issues whatsoever ?

Thanks! Nga pala, galing nung mga DIY mo. Hehehe.

sir renzo, so far this is the most economonical car I've had. I average around 11-12KM/Liter on mixed city-highway traffic. Around 60% highway, 40% City.

During our holy week trip, I logged around 16KM/L on highway with a trunk load of beach outing stuff, my wife, my yaya and one in-law... This is based on manual computation as the trip computer computed a much higher mileage w/c is 5.8L/100Kilometer or roughly 17.24KM per Liter...

Sa knocking naman, I guess my car was able to dodge this headache. I don't know what's special w/ this unit. I guess I call it luck, kasi may kabatch ako sa dealer, the same AT unit, grabeh knocking... It's the only unit I tested na nagknoknock. Hehehehe, but it only comes out when feathering the gas, but pedal to metal, wala naman... Pero as posted, I've got few weird problems. Velocity Joint ticking when shifted to drive or reverse, Unusual sound when turning right (Felt like one component is rubbing on the other), and Rear Hub bearings...

I'm glad that my dealer, address these issues professionally and I don't have to raise my eyebrows to claim warranties on these defects.

Wow that's impressive! I`ll be happy if the Accent does 11-12km/L city driving.

I've been doing a little backreading and it seems that the knocking issue is no longer evident on newer batches especially on MT units (which I have plans on getting). Hopefully, the issue wouldn't show up anymore.

Minor problems are acceptable, no car is made perfect anyway. The FD had a share on this, quite costly if you ask me (engine support + tensioner gave up right after the warranty!), the Vios & 10th gen Altises had very minor and very fixable rattle issues etc. but I'm hoping, for the Accent, it wouldn't be as troublesome as what others have experienced.

One reason why I am looking for a reputable dealer over here in MM, I want them to address the problems (if there will be) as fast and as professional as possible.

If ever, I'll be joining you guys soon.

BTW, *meikey, renzo nalang. :-)

*renzo,

I picked Greenhills from the list that our purchasing sent to me for the reason that they offered the better package. I hope to get the car by June.

Sana okay din customer service.

First dealer I went to was Greenhills as well. Will check out Hyundai North Edsa & Balintawak probably next week. Hope to get the car by June also.

Accent na pala trip mo bro, parang last week lang City 1.3S ah. Why the change of mind? Rio 1.4EX di mo trip?

**renzo_d10** · May 18th, 2012 09:46 AM

Yup. Was weighing both things out and saw the only advantage that the City had was it being a Honda.

The Accent offered a larger interior space, more power, and is more bang for the buck as well.

Fuel efficiency should be similar for both.

When I went for the Accent, I've saved roughly a good 140-150k.

Checked on the Rio as well. Nice features but wasn't impressed by the sedan's look. Siguro kung may Rio HB MT then I'd surely change my mind.

Di pa naman ako nakakapagorder. June pa. Hehe.
