New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[Allegra]

If you guys read sa thread na fastest speed on a diesel
You'll see lot of posts ng other diesel vehilce owners saying top speed nila was 170 or 180 but natakot na sila or hirap na yung makina nila

I dont usually drive fast , kaya nagulat ako 170kph ang tahimik ng strada and very stable except for the engine noise or I wouldnt have driven it that fast w/ my whole family on board. Di rin hirap makina , it was singing hehe
Galing ng performance!

Kung gusto nyo naman ma depress , read the crdi thread hehe

I wanted to see how it would feel if I accelerated at full throttle with the 4x4 H engaged (without the 3 sacks of rice this time... na-deliver ko na sa mga kapatid ko eh)...well, it felt just a little bit more powerfull than if it were in 4x2 - parang mas solid yung acceleration. I guess the added traction is what I felt.

Then I made a u-turn while the 4x4 was engaged. That's when I felt something weird and herd something weird from the steering wheel. The steering groaned at full turn. I remember warnings posted on previous conversations on this forum, that's why I released the wheels immediately. Some are complaining about their steering having sounds while turning... check if the 4x4 is engaged... =P

It's called tire binding. Try not to do that again. Your drivetrain will not last long or even break if you engage 4x4 on pavement. You should read the instructions located on your door. You engage 4x4 only on slippery surface.

Hello again!

I wanted to see how it would feel if I accelerated at full throttle with the 4x4 H engaged (without the 3 sacks of rice this time... na-deliver ko na sa mga kapatid ko eh)...well, it felt just a little bit more powerfull than if it were in 4x2 - parang mas solid yung acceleration. I guess the added traction is what I felt.

Sir bonifyde, bawal po ihataw like normal driving sa highway pag naka-engage ang 4x4. Check your owner's manual po. Baka masira agad ang 4x4 mechanisms ng Strada mo. Ball bearing kits located para sa front whells pa lang are around Php xx,xxx.xx na per piece. Also, never make a fast turn/u-turn while the 4x4 is engaged. You dont want your Strada to get bogged down at the casa for repairs, do you?

[moxxxs]

Oi... Been expecting to this one pero wala akong 4x4. Pwede ba sumama lang sir?

hehehehe.....puwede naman.....but im still not sure if i will be joining the said event. I will let you know kung tutuloy ako. Sana may iba pang mga naka-Strada na pumunta.

[moxxxs]

I just discovered this recently regarding the Strada's Turbo Timer (2.5 GLS model). Meron palang turbo-timer ang Strada ko!!!!! hehehehehe.


Try nyo po these easy steps sa mga Strada nyo baka gumana rin at malaman nyong may built-in turbo timer na pala ang Strada nyo:

1. Before turning your engine off, and while the key is in the ignition, press and release button 2 (the right button) of your MMAS car alarm remote control(the one with the black casing and red diamond design).

2. If you did it successfully, your signal lights/hazard will flash once, the doors will be unlocked, and the engine will remain idling (for 1 minute).

3. Open the door, get down from the vehicle, close the door, then press and release button 1 to engage the alarm and lock the doors.

4. If you did it successfully, the doors will lock, alarm will engage, engine still idling (for 1 minute), then your signal lights/hazard will flash every 5 or 10 seconds until the engine stops.

AYOS!

Curious question... How does the ride of the Sport Trac compared to the New Strada?

There's a big difference between the two. The sportrac I had before is a 4x4 automatic 5 speed 4L gasoline engine with cruise control. The ride is just like a car and overtaking is no sweat. Kaya nga medyo nanibago ako noong nag-road test ako ng strada bago ako bumili dahil iba talaga ang suspension ng sportrac. Yun nga lang dahil malaki ang makina kaya malakas sa gasolina. Laging full tank every weekend kung nasa bakasyon ako kahit city driving at sa farm lang ako pumupunta. The main reason I changed it with Strada is walang casa ng Ford sa Bohol so kung may major problem, kailangan ko pang dalahin sa Ford Cebu via ro-ro boat. Hassle sa oras. Isa pa 5 years old na rin kaya nag-uumpisa ng lumabas ang sakit. Sa Strada naman, hindi na rin masama ang riding comfort kumpara sa ibang japanese pick-ups. Isa pa since diesel engine once na lang akong magpakarga every 5 weeks vacation ko. Tapos may mitsu casa rin sa Tagbilaran kaya madali lang ang service.

Anybody interested in taking their Stradas for a spin this weekend? Light trailing lang. I happen to find this thread at 4x4ph.com. Check it out if you guys are interested. thanks.

Hi sir moxxxs, I would love to join this off-road light trailing, but unfortunately, I can't make it this weekend. Still have not tried out the 4x4 of my 3.2 strada, I thought this will be an opportunity to do so. Kaya lang talagang di pwede eh.

Anyway, I registered in that website, and hopefully next time around I can make it.

If ever you join this Sta. Inez trail, post mo naman ang experience mo. And of course, don't forget the pics.

[ooba99]

Oi... Been expecting to this one pero wala akong 4x4. Pwede ba sumama lang sir?

Hi sir drey, don't worry, if ever I get an opportunity to join a subsequent light off-roading, I'll invite you to join me. Promise.

AYOS!

Sir moxxxs, yung "AYOS" lang ang naintindihan ko, hehehe. Sa susunod na EB natin, i-demo mo na lang, hahaha. Sigurado, dala ko na yung strading ko. Di ko pa nasusubukan ang turbo timer eh.

Kelan nga ba next strada EB? Spearhead mo na sir moxxxs, unless sir av8or5 insist na sya uli ang mag-lead,hehehe.

Sorry mods, flooding na ata ako. Medyo natagalan bago ako nakapag-post uli, eh.

[egaysky]

My ride is white, same as yours. When I'm home I usually go out in the afternoon with a dog at the back to break some sweat. I'm hoping to get the ralliart mags I ordered from mitsu soon.

I just don't know pa any one sa mga strada owners here in TAgb. If ever, count me in if a mini EB is planned. :cool01:

I know 2 other white stradas in Tagb. One has a construction company which is our friend and a doctor. I also carry dogs to our petshop besides Sayong furniture or goats to my farm in Panglao. I will also pass through miggyboy on my way back home to buy some accessories. Doble kasi ang presyo diyan sa casa. Aside from the thule roof bar, I have already installed headlight and tail light covers tsaka yung carryboy window visors.

Sige tignan ko kung ma-convince ko yung ibang strada owners diyan sa atin para sa isang mini EB.

hehe.. sabi ko na sir moxxxs! impossible na wala Turbo Timer yung sa inyo halos sabay sabay lang tayo bumili.. have you tride the auto start function? ok din. just press the lock button and hold it for about 1 to 2 secs.. and when the light on your alarm turns green, press it (the lock button) once more but this time simply tap it, do not hold. after a few secs, your car will start.

oops.. this is louchua by the way.. ibang account ang gamit ko now.

every 5 weeks then you refuel? Teyka... Anong FC mo? I think okay lang naman ata kasi maliit lang ang Bohol.

hehehehe...thanks sir louchua/macoylatte. Yup, na try ko na rin po yung remote engine start. Ayos din but i rarely use this feature because I seldom park outside.

My turbo timer was there all along....tamad lang magbasa ng manual..
