New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

That's a sign of Fungi growth inside the AC system. Careful because those microbes can attack your lungs' cells.

any suggestions on how to totally eliminate this? Other than turning your blower full blast? Baka mg spread pa sa whole cabin..

Strada Owners,
Does anyone experience frequent static or "ground" everytime go down and closes the truck's door after a long (sometimes not so long) drive? Kasi this always happen to me after driving. So minsan ayaw ko na hawakan ang door kasi nakakagulat din yung small shock. Is it only me or does anyone also experience it too? Btw it only happen in my Strada and never experience it in all of my other ride.
Thanks!

Sir normal yan lalo na pag dry ang hangin sa paligid or dahil sa klase ng material ng damit na suot natin...nakakaroon ng static. Na-e-experience din ito sa mga pintuan ng bahay. Nagbi-build up yung static pag pasok at labas natin sa kotse.

ang static ay wala sa pintuan ng kotse kaya walang problema actually ang unit, yung katawan natin mismo nang-gagaling yung static, at yung kotse ang nagiging ground pag bubuksan o isasara mo. Ingat lang kasi ito yung minsan na nagiging dahilan ng sunog sa mga gas static

Thanks for all the reply. Actually meron nga ako nakita spark from my finger to the metal part of the door. Parang spark galing sa electronic lighter. My unit is a '10 GLS with no seat cover (ang sama kasi ng free cover). If I remember right, I saw a small antenna like in one of the auto accessories inside the mall which eliminates the static energy created in the car. Just can't remember where

Akala ko ako lang din nakakaexperience nito. talagang makagulat. kaya till then i always close the door or touch it on the window. minsan nga pagbaba ko pagdumikit ung binti ko sa running board. di ko naman kc tinatapakan yun, direct sa ground pag bumababa.

sirs, can i ask, going to change my rims in the same size 17" but 0 offset, same tire size 265/65R17 A/T. do i need to lift? as much as possible sana i dont want to lift.

Another way also to avoid such incident ay yung susi hawakang maigi tapos saka itutok sa susian ng door. This way ma re-release ng hinay-hinay yung static sa katawan natin. kasi kung may pagitan yung kamay natin at yung pintuan makakaroon ng spark

Good evening strada owner...im a newbie here...i enjoy reading this thread...very informative..i just got my 2010 strada gls 2.5 4x4 mt fairy white only this afternoon...i really love the strada...i used to have the 1999 strada before, then i try the pajero...but my heart still looking for this monster, thats the reason why i get the new strada...hehehe...


sir shakatak----your truck look familiar, and the color of the font that you used is very familiar to me...

:shhh: welcome sa Strada thread fafs...and congrats to your new toy. Mas lalong gaganda iyan pag may sticker na ng TSCP at pag nakasakay na sa likod either yung FZ6 or yung GS1100.

By the way you too looks familiar with that aviatar of yours. if you decide to attand the TSCP EB sabay tayo ha?

complaint has been filed against the adjuster. (para tumino naman) both panels and the front fender replaced not repaired. Sir, i was advised na wag muna post yung name nang insurance company para walang problema. Pero once ma settle na i will post na lang the whole story.

My wife will visit our baby today . Sayang hindi ako makapunta..get repaired soon baby!

buti naman sir.....ubod ng yabang nyang adjuster na yan.... kaya ka nga kumukuha ng insurance for security na ma mababalik sa original state yung auto mo...tapos babanat sya ng ganung "inde naman luxury car ang pickup" eh talaga palang !*#$%^&* sya eh!....if I where in your shoes baka kung ano ng nagawa ko dyan...anyhow...please do update us on the situation of your car....and goodluck to your claim...

any suggestions on how to totally eliminate this? Other than turning your blower full blast? Baka mg spread pa sa whole cabin..

medyo exaggerated naman yung fungi fungi na yun....IMO it will take a very loooong time and a very poor aircon maintenance for those moisture feeding bacterias to grow in a state that its gonna be harmful to humans....so what I suggest is that kung talagang masyado ng maamoy yung aircon then have it cleaned to your suking service center and tell them to check for some flaws in the aircon system....because some times this certain flaws are the ones causing the foul smell or anything unusual, like tickiting sounds and the lost of coldness...In my case I have already log 36k kms on my truck and there is a bit of a "newly opened aircon smell" whenever you turn on the aircon which I believe all cars do have this smell and IMO it is perfectly normal for my truck.....also it can vary to the brand of vehicle....as per my observation the brands that was having a hard time perfecting their aircon system on the past years has already perfected it now....and there are also other brands that has perfected their aircon system in the past but have seem to lost that perfection on their latest models today..

sirs, can i ask, going to change my rims in the same size 17" but 0 offset, same tire size 265/65R17 A/T. do i need to lift? as much as possible sana i dont want to lift.

Hi sir! How are you?

hinde nyo na po kailangan mag lift if your sticking to the same tire size and 0 offset mags....it will fit perfectly without any rubbing AFAIK.... but the width should only be limited to 8"... larger than that it might cause some trimming of the mudguard na just like mine....But I'm still not trimming the mud stock mudguards...=P.....but the best way to decide is have the mags fitted para sigurado tayo sa fitment....HTH


OT: 4 days no internet! 4 days no post!

Sir locoroco777,
Nag file na kami nang complaint sa adjuster. Panay tawag daw sa bahay pero di na namin i-aatras yun. Baby has been completely repaired as of today yung fender na lang kasi inorder pa.

Bibili na lang ako ng pine scent ng sinasabit pag meron na "fungi" smell yung ride ko.
