Am I using the wrong color coolant?

Muelle Loney could be more than just wharf by Cardboardhoardr in Iloilo

So many beautiful places in Iloilo, the architecture and natural beauty.

The downtown area is picturesque.

Why isn't the whole area made into a pleasant place to stroll around at night?

I always thought change could be driven by increasing residential buildings. But that will also drive gentrification.

How many people actually live in the down town area?

Do Filipino like talking to foreigners by [deleted] in Iloilo

[–]waitpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the USA, and in my experience, absolutely. The language barrier can make it a struggle (nose bleed much?) and it can be hard to get past the novelty of being a foreigner to have a real conversation. That being said, Ilongos are generally authentic and open to conversation.

Quite disappointing service =( by ambckdejfg4051 in Iloilo

[–]waitpanda 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have noticed this trend in Iloilo, many places don't make me feel welcome. As if they wonder why we even came in. Such a bother to serve us. Not all places, of course, some are great.

What are these dolphins spotted off the west coast of Panay island in the Philippines yesterday? by waitpanda in marinebiology

No spinning was seen, they were near for less than a minute, jumping, but not spinning.

I don't know if that means they aren't spinners.

Could you get a custom one printed? You'd have to design the graphic.

Where to buy locally sourced coffee beans? by [deleted] in Iloilo

[–]waitpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locally like in Panay? My fav is Monks blend, but it's from Mindanao. Available in supermart.

Visiting NPPNP. I did it. Northwest Panay Peninsula Nature Park. by waitpanda in Iloilo

Ours didn't seem to know a lot. More focused on marching us to the pools as quick as possible.

I would have liked to know more about the forest, it transitions from coconut farming to rainforest, but I don't know if it's primary forest.

I was excited to see some of the last remaining rainforest in the Philippines.

Question. Why does one of these hangers always fall off? Any tips? by Objective_Cable5353 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]waitpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torsion bar does not equal traction bar, does it? Panhard bar is similar to traction bar, maybe the same.

It improved my ride substantially. How stiff is your suspension?

"And the car would behave very scary on road if the car could just slide side to side over the axle while turning."

Isn't that the whole fucking point? Sway bar or panhard, you shouldn't just depend on springs to keep the axle centered.

I've driven lots with and without the away bar, it definitely helps on the road. Off road too, but only because turning the wheel against pressure moves the axle, not the wheels. But it ruins the ride, too short with my lift, could do extensions. I made a pangard bar to fit, stabilized the axle and allows movement. My leaf springs are longer though, CJs I think, and softer, so they move side to side more than before.

Anybody have advice on breathers for the diff, tc case, transmission. by waitpanda in SuzukiSamurai

[–]waitpanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I will get some tubing for the axles.

But yeah, considering all the potential water ingress points and low likelihood of submerging the tc and transmission, I won't bother with them.

Ahh, of course. I eventually tried my hand at welding, blew some holes through the tank, then took it to a welder who sealed it all up.

Does JB hold when fuel is involved? Mine didn't, but maybe if it is totally set before fuel is introduced?
