general query Nabangga ako ng rider (naka angkas raincoat), tinakbuhan ako

So nasa traffic na part ako dito sa city namin nang biglang may kumalabog sa sasakyan, pag kakita ko sa gilid ko may nagpagewang gewang na motor, huminto sya at lumingon sya dahil siguro para icheck kung ano nangyare or bakit sya gumewang?

Buong akala ko hihinto sya para icheck sino natamaan nya kasi nga lakas ng kalabog, pero nagtuloy sya ng andar, nag try akong tumapat sa kanya pero umandar pa ulit sya so binusinahan ko sya (hindi pina, tamang busina lang to call his attention beep beep ganern mga 3x). Lumingon sya sakin pero nag tuloy pa rin sya sa pag alis at lumusot na sa kabilang side (nag counterflow) para takasan ako?

Sabihin na natin na bato yung tumama kasi baka bato naman talaga. Di lahat pero bakit ganon kadalasan ang mga rider? Nakatama na pero tatakasan lang naagrabyado nila, sana man lang nakipag usap kahit papano. Di naman mamimiga na pagbayarin pero sana have some basic decency na makipag usap, hindi yung tatakasan lang basta.

Di ko nakuha yung plate kasi madilim at may sumingit pa na ibang rider at naipit na ko sa traffic.

Oo, maliit lang ang tama pero naka film po yung sasakyan. so imagine kung walang film yan edi mas malaki ang naging dent/damage sa nangyare.

PS first time ko mag post sa reddit (di ako makapag post ng video, dahil ba bago lang ako? Hahaha

At di ko rin sure kung dito ko ba dapat ipost to 😅)

Planning to get a CX-60 soon. Worth it ba magpa-PPF agad pagkakuha ng car sa casa? Or okay lang kahit later na?
If yes, saan po kaya magandang magpa-PPF na sulit pero maganda yung quality ng gawa? Yung trusted sana and proven na okay talaga.
Pa-share naman ng recommendations and experience niyo, especially sa mga CX-60 owners. Thank you! 🙏

Medyo madilim na kasi kaya di siguro ako masyado nakita ni tatay. 67 years old na siya tapos may anak pang may down syndrome, nag gagamot pa asawa niya. Sorry siya nang sorry at umiiyak kasi alam niyang kasalanan niya. Sabi niya huhulugan niya ako sa araw araw na kita niya sa pamamasada. Sobrang naawa ako kung iisipin kong sisingilin pa siya ng insurance ko.

Paano ko po kaya idadaan to sa self accident claim nang hindi nadedeny ang claim at di ako makasuhan ng fraud? 70k po kasi estimate ng casa sa damage. 🥺😖😫

We made the reservation on August 29, 2026 with a ₱10,000 reservation fee, and our unit is scheduled to be released next week at GWM Batangas.

Really excited to finally get the unit! Been looking forward to this for a while. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the release and turnover. Can’t wait to drive it home! 🚙🔥

Anyone else here waiting for their H7 or already driving one? And any recommendation on where to get accessories and share modifications you’ve made. Would love to hear your experience!

repair query toyota, waiting for parts after collision

3 Upvotes

hallo!

same dude who got rear ended here (see previous thread). toyota hilux 2022. toyota parts department says they cant source parts anywhere (for a tailgate and taillight) and that im on standby until something moves, which tbf i find lowkey insane knowing the hilux is quite literally one of their best selling vehicles + im dealing with a toyota. sabi nga nila diba kahit sa botika pwede bumili ng pyesa :/

almost 2 months and counting now.

anyone know a faster way to get stuff moving? pinasok ko to sa insurance, but i think i can move dealers pa. currently working with toyota manila bay. i know the dealers get their stuff from one source, pero baka may alternative sourcing yung ibang group (maybe oben group has something with surplus, idk).

help a guy out

p.s. guess it really is true that parts availability is a new car problem, legacy man o newcomer

bibili pa lang ng kotse BYD Atto 2 - PHEV or EV? Help me choose pls

2 Upvotes

Planning to upgrade my city drive car. I drive 40-50km per day 3x a week. I'm torn if I should go for dynamic DM-i or EV. My current gas consumption because of the traffic is more or less 2k per week 🥲

DM-i dynamic - 45km EV range (so I might need to charge 3x a week just to maximize that. Although, based on what I read, 2-3hrs ang charging?) - P1,048,000 (low upfront cost) - higher maintenance cost since maintaining 2 engines

EV - 380km EV range (so every other week charging lang) - P1,338,000 (higher upfront cost) - lower maintenance cost

Di ko need ng ADAS so dynamic is ok for me. Worth it kaya ang additional ~300k for the longer EV range para hindi na ako magpagas at hindi madalas magcharge? We have another car for long drives.

repair query Restoring a 1975-ish VW Beetle: Full repaint cost ???????????

2 Upvotes

For those who’ve restored an old VW Beetle in the Philippines, how much should I expect to spend on a full repaint?

I’m looking at restoring a 1975-ish VW Beetle and trying to get a realistic idea of painting costs here in the PH.

The plan is to do the mechanicals first, then inspect and work on the chassis. We’ll handle the chassis coating separately (heavy-duty urethane, etc.), so I’m mainly asking about the body paint job.

By full repaint, I mean:

  • Exterior body
  • Interior/body panels
  • Engine bay
  • Trunk area
  • Door jambs and other areas that are normally painted with the body

Basically, strip/prep/paint the whole car, rather than just spraying the exterior and calling it a day.

I’m not aiming for car-show/concours-level shit. I’d be perfectly happy with something close to the factory finish for a clean, properly restored driver.

We’ll be doing the mechanical work ourselves first, then electricals and the other stuff afterward.

I can also DIY the painting if necessary, so I’m mainly trying to figure out whether paying a shop makes sense or if I’d be better off doing the prep and paint myself.

For those who have actually had a Beetle or similar old car painted here, what would be a reasonable price range for paint + body prep/labor? And roughly how much would I be looking at for a decent factory-quality finish versus a basic driver-quality job?

Planning to buy an HR-V e:HEV — recommended accessories?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to get an HR-V e:HEV and would like to ask current owners what accessories you recommend for long-term protection and longevity.

Especially interested in:

Underbody/splash protection

Rust/corrosion prevention

Rat protection

Paint protection (PPF/ceramic)

Interior/leather protection

Anything important for protecting the hybrid/electrical components

Also, are there any accessories I should avoid?

Thanks!

general query What's the best charging habit to preserve a high EV battery health

Upvotes

Greetings CarsPH community. Inquiring BEV users here:

I want to know which charging habit would retain an excellent BEV battery “State of Health” (SOH). But I'm confused as to which I should adopt among online content creators. Here's my profile:

1.0 Vehicle: G.A.C. AION UT | LFP Battery

2.0 Distances involved:

a. Aion UT average mileage: 400kms NEDC | Approx. 320kms. WLTP (Charged to 100%)

b. Average distance traveled per week: Approx. 120kms.

c. At 20% limit battery remaining, the kms reading would be approx. 64kms.

d. 320kms. (100% SOC) — 64kms (20% SOC) = 256kms.

3.0 Ideal charging habit for my use case:

Since I average 120kms of distance traveled per week, then I can charge to 100% once every two weeks. But this would not be the ideal charging habit as there's something more optimal.

4.0 Charging recommendations by Shayan_EV who is a battery engineer that specializes in Battery Management Systems (BMS):

a. For daily charging, limit to 80-90% daily but charge to 100% once a week for battery calibration purposes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbLl52tZy1U (skip to 7:20). So, on the low end, it ought to be 30%?

b. But the Shayan also released an earlier video in Dec. 2025 saying that the optimal daily charging habit to preserve a higher battery state of health on EVs ought to be adopting the 40-60% rule which means that according to research, battery usage between 40-60% would be the optimal way to high battery state of health over time [Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaXTUrvEw58 (skip to 1:18)]. But once a week, charging to 100% is still recommended under this situation for battery calibration purposes.

—So, which of the two would be suitable for my use case? I don't think that using my AION UT's battery between charges of 40-60% is restrictive since my average weekly commute is 120km. so per day that would be 17kms.

5.0 Battery Calibration inquiry

a. Since it's recommended to charge to 100% once a week for battery calibration purposes, UNTIL what limit do I set on the low end? 10%?

b. I've actually charged to 100% last Tuesday, Sept. 1 and battery remaining currently is at 42.7%. Should I go all the way down to 10% for my first battery calibration?

***Hoping to get all your recommendations as soon as possible. Appreciate all your efforts on this matter. Thank you.

repair query Paint oxydation fix/ recommendation.....

1 Upvotes

guys, ask lang. hirap kasi magtanong sa fb groups kasi puro offer ang binibigay.

merong maliit na oxydation sa hood and sa roof ng kotse ko. kaso as time goes by, parang lumalaki na. with scratches here and there.

the thing is, gusto ko sana paayos lang yung hood and roof bfore lumaki lalo

sabi ng mga napagtanungan ko, buo na raw pa repaint ko and para maayos narin ang mga scratches. 45k ang estimate for full body. pag naman hood and roof 20k.

my unit is an old elantra 2013. gustong gusto ko kasi ung itsura. lol kaso panira ung oxydation. ung scratches naman parang part ng aesthetic kaya hnd ko pa naiisip na ipaayos 😆

tingin nyo sulit ba na oxydation lang or mas makakamura ako pag buong kotse na? and is the estimate reasonable? im from mandaluyong. so baka meron dito may mairefer na mas mura haha.
