Ok, so i have to connect an external power supply before taking out the batteries for replacement. I have a 22 month old car so I still have at least 2 more years before I start tinkering with the tpms sensor. And your right sir, parang disposable pala ang tpms sensor natin if ganyan ang design and hindi masyadong service/maintenance friendly.

yes sir you got that dead center

Gud morning fellow tsikoteers!

I cleaned my intercooler yeaterday and i noticed, bakit masyado yata lumakas ang whistling sound? Especially when i reached 2k rpm. Is this normal? Hihina din kaya yung whistling sound? Almost as loud as streaking fanbelts. Any info mga sir? Tnx

baka naman sir hindi mo lang napapansin before, and since bagong linis yung intercooler, extra obsevant ka, ngayon mo lang napansin.

Sir malakas talaga. Cant identify kung whining sound or rattling metal to meal sound.. pero siguro din dahil bagong linis yung intercooler. Dami din kasi sticky oil build up na natanggal. Observe ko na lang sir. Hindi rin naman nagdegrade performance. Tanx anyway sir. Mya try namin ilocate kung san galing yung sound.

[killer_eyes]

sir diba may clamp yun? baka di masyado nahigpitan

Mga sir ask lang po Feb. 2012 ang strada glx namin pero last time sa labas na namin pina change oil meaning wala na kami warranty..
Nagka problema kasi wiper namin yung pinaka high speed switch lang ang gumagana yung sa may timer at normal speed ayaw gumana ng wiper
tapos pag ginamit ko yung high speed na wiper at saka ko off yung wiper bigla hinto din yung wiper kung san gawi ako nag off ng wiper switch kaya
tantsahan pa pag off ng wiper para lang huminto sya sa normal standy positiion nya.2nd question kasabay nya nagloko yung headlight ang problema
naman pag naka dim at bright ako mahina ilaw sa left side pero nakikita ko naka ilaw naman left headlight yun nga lang sobrang hina.. 3rd question po
yung sa panel natin pag naka on yung ilaw medyo naka ilaw yung bright indicator sa panel pero konti lang.. Ano po kaya problema? Makikita kaya
problema sa computer diagnostic ng mitsubishi? thanks po Oliver of Bulacan

Mga sir ok na headlight at wiper namin.. Nginat ngat pala ng daga yung wirrings sa bandang ilalim ng fuel filter.. thanks po

Would any of you guys know when the 2014 strada is coming out? When i inquired for a unit first week of September, the SC told me to wait for the 2014 model as it is going to be released soon. Well its October now and said SC doesnt reply to my txt & call.

Ok na sya.. may leak dun sa may inlet, di naglalapat maigi kaya nagwhiwhistle yung stainless na gasket. Kinailangan pa lagyan ng silicone sealant.

Mga sir na naka strada, ano topspeed nyo? Kasi last month, pumalo sya 190 sa sctex, last friday ayaw na lumagpas ng 180. Ayaw na din tumaas rpm nya. Egr blanked and knn filter installed. Mag improve pa kaya yun when fitted with tuning chip?

There are many factors, tire pressure, wind speed, wind direction, etc.

You should concentrate more on improving acceleration and handling (including braking) rather than top speed. Pickups aren't really designed to go very fast.

[D3nb3r]

as what sir walter was saying, daming factors you have to consider if speed is what you want, like how you launch, gear timing and condition of the engine before when you had a 190kph speed and during the 180kph speed. Makaka improve din yung tuning chip sa performance and couple mo sa sprint booster. but still better bring your rig to a dyno shop for fine tuning. As for the pick-up being not designed for high speed. That is true if stock. But in thailand, they modify our beloved strada into a drag spec speed demon And if you want to go into the drag racing path, Then you have to mod your rig similar to this hehehe

Yes sir naisip ko na din wind speed and direction. Thanks sir. Sa accelaration satisfied ako. Since nagchange ako knn drop in filter and egr blanking. On handling, i installed osulle on front coils and loadplus sa likod. Matagtag kaunti pero satisfied sa result esp. when cornering and overtaking. Next in line is the tuning chip. And anyway di naman ako lagi tumatakbo ng 180. Pag napadaan lang ng sctex and want to stretch out my car.. at di nman laging 180 buong expressway..

Wow! Short air intake yan ah! Dami ko nakikitang ganyan. And also planning to install. Kaso problema lang sa socket ng maf sensor. And sa lowered, parang yung pick up ni sylvester stallone sa "expendables".. less air drag nga naman..

[CtrlAltDel]

Share ko lang guys, our trip to Baguio just this weekend, overnight lang...

Going up by Kennon Road, no problemo,


It's going down by Marcos Highway that's tricky. Parang zombie apocalypse or Silent Hill yung atmosphere sa kapal ng fog.


All in all, my pickup (GLX-V, Limited, AT) was more than up to the task. Complaint ko lang, lumalagitgit yung leaf spring right side (pa-check ko sa dealer next time). Walang problema sa over taking.

185km/h at the speedo *3500rpm with an all stock GLS Sport V A/T, A/C on. Did it on the Skyway at night from the start to the NAIA 3 exit. From what I can see, it is quite reluctant to go further unless given a very long stretch of road. It stayed at 185 for quite a while although the gas was constantly floored. Perhaps you hit 190 at the SCTEX while at a slope, and was unable to repeat it on a level road? Tuning chip should do wonders, since Speedlab did it in a model same as ours and obtained a 30whp increase from the stock 170whp. But if you're gonna do this a lot, better upgrade to at least H-rated tires. The stock S-rated all terrain tires are supposed to be able to maintain upto 180km/h only. Stay safe!

Mga gurus, I'm planning to buy strada glx 4x4 next month, I was lurking and back reading some strada threads I have some questions hope anyone here be kind enough to answer.

1. Read a lot of choking/loss power issues that was said and culprit was scv caused by dirty oils since the earliest models, question po has this been addressed na po ng MMC? If yes pls explain.

2. I have several brand new car purchase na din po but I don't go to casa for Any PMS just my choice of mechanic or gas station, thankful na wala naman kinailanagan I warranty sa kanilang lahat so my question is can do this with strada, I mean anyone here same as me na hindi nag papa PMS sa MMC but did not experience breakdowns or Warranty claims sa 3yrs na warranty period?

3. My car is gas, and old school Diesel engines one is 4d56 pa, but this would be my 1st Crdi if ever, question how much do your regular change oil (I prefer FS oil) plus oil filter, to those who already tried to have their PMS outside casa.

Just gathering ideas about strada any inputs from you guys are very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Ah ok sir. So its within normal for stradas to run for just about 180 to 190 kph. Siguro pag souped up din lang ang stradas kagaya din ng monty's kagaya ng kay sir zix ang pamapalo sa 200plus kph jeje. And yes sir, mine is 275 65 r17 115h. So its safe to run till 210kph and since bago pa naman yung tires.


Sadly, tatakbuhan din talaga tau ng navarras, dahil i have read that they can go beyond 200kph?

And if you're gonna do this 180kph runs and upgrade the tires, better upgrade your brakes also. Just to be safe sir, for you and everyone near ;)

Paalala lang po.

I think gauging our strada's top speed from time to time is ok and as long as you do it responsibly. and lets be honest nobody here races their rig everyday in making the top speed naman i think that is where the manual tranny is better compare to A/T's dahil you can change gear on a certain rpm to maximize everything to gain a good top speed. Unlike sa A/T na preset yung gear change at a lower rpm to have efficient fuel consumption (we'll not unless you have the paddle shifts).
