*glycerine- glad to see the box seems to be a perfect fit! how did u clamp it to the bed? i saw in the pics that u had chains there... para saan po yan - i hope u dnt mind me asking...

thanks for posting your pics, bro...

hahah ung chain dun sa bed wala un nalagay lang, ganun kase ung mga kadena na nilagay ko sa spare tire, yung rubbermaid naka chain (pero ung chain na may balot na goma o synthetic leather) sa hooks ng bed, tapos naka padlock lang, dapat lalagyan ko ng double adhesives sa ilalem kaso baka mahirapan ako alisin pag ayoko gamitin so ganito na lang muna, umuubra naman eh

edit: bought it last october 26, 2006 not oct 2007. i've just installed claddings para tumaba tignan ang side mirror signal lamps.

bro ganda naman ng body colored claddings mo ... san mo nakuha and how much?

BOSB, if there is one part of the Strada that I dont like, its the Steering Wheel.

Aesthetically, its an eye candy. But when I start holding it and of course use it, I could feel the cheap plastic in the horn, the slippery synthetic leatherette wrap, and lastly the steering wheel's uncomfortable size.

Whenever I use the horn, the hollow plastic sound is more audible rather than the horn's sound outside. When the need arises to maneuver in tight places, its hard to use one hand as the wrap is slippery despite my non-sweaty hands. If you will be using two hands, the area of the two silver things between the spokes greatly reduced the area where you could insert your hands for ease of turning the wheel.

I dont know if its just me or the steering wheel of the Strada is really uncomfortable to use making the Strada a bit tedious to drive when conditions require massive use of the steering wheel.

BOSB, let me know your thoughts on the foregoing.
Thanks.

P.S. Other than that, and the budget constraints of a new momo steering wheel, I dont see any other cons with my Strada.

yes ser na experinced ko rin ito, kaya binili ko ng steering whhel cover ba yun? kaso ung mumurahen lang din kaya ayun hindi na madulas sa kamay..... masaket na siya sa kamay

*Boybit and Moxxxs

Meron sa Goldcars Banawe Hi and Lo HID at bluewish color (XEON HID) loaded in a silver make up case. Price around 7k lang cash

Mga Strada Bros.. There is sound system already design for Strada..

I got mine custom made box for 12" sony subwoofer LOCATED BEHIND Back seat where the jack and tools located. the amp (JBL mono) is located under front passenger seat. It was driven by pioneer 7950ub w/ crossover to control the sound frequency. and I use infinity separates for sound quality.

*moxxxs,

bro, as for the love-it-or-hate-it steering wheel. its on everyones discretion... a few days ago, i test drove a customer's GLS A/T (unfortunately he is not internet and forum savvy) and observed everything to be ok the steering wheel- yes, i do agree with you that the plastic makes a hollow sound-parang tabo na tinatama sa pader! another friend of mine uses a steering wheel attachment- a knob clamped on the steering wheel so u can steer with 1 hand- not my cup of tea, but it works for others.

as for a momo steering wheel, paano po yung airbag, sir? IMO, the Sold-Out current body Lancer GT has a momo steering wheel with airbag- perhaps you want something like that, isn't it?

[glycerine]

Same feeling there. Dagdag na rin for me is the arm rests. Instead of sloping down, I would preferred it to be sloping upwards para maka reast talaga ang arms..Plus the finish of the plastic material..I think it will be full of scratches because of my watch.

Anyway, a Momo Steering Wheel is a good proposition..but what are we goind to do with the SRS?

[RedHorse]

might remove the rear bumper...

pls take a look sa pix




heavy school bags... hassle if not fully drop down, hence I have to remove the bumper he he

experiment kaya bukas, when canopy is installed na

Did you have to move the jack and tools somewhere else? where?

Whats the model of the 12" subwoofer? I'm concerned about the thickness of the sub. Pioneer has 'shallow-type' subwoofers which are around 98mm thick compared to 177mm for standard ones.

*DonT- knock on wood po... the SRS will still be there. that will serve as a spare steering wheel in case you had a frontal collision. As we all know, once the airbag has been used, we can't use it again.

however, if you feel that you don't need it, you can perhaps, offer it the dealer whose strada had a collision. bless them ...

[ooba99]

baka anak ni sir ooba99 yun nakita mo hehehehe

Huh?! Tinakas ng anak ko yung strada ko kahapon? CRV dala ko kahapon eh. Teka, ma-check nga. Irresistable talaga strada. hehehe

Sa 3.2 model, the steering wheel has a genuine leather cover. Initially, it was slippery pero ngayon makapit na.

It also has a plasticky and cheap feel sa horn pero nasanay na ako.

My main issue sa steering wheel is mabigat sa kabigan. Probably because of the larger tires of the 3.2 variant.

[bonifyde]

I guess its all settled then... when we see another strada on the road we give each other two honks!


glycerine... ipagdadasal ko rin na sana chick yung maka-honk ko then we might have a little personal EB on our own! Hahaha!

Good Evening Brother's!!!!

superbilis talaga ng thread... kahapon lang ako huling nag log in ilang pages na nadagdag...

BTW,

*sir lanjohn82: welcome po sa thread!!!

* sir moxxxs: agree ako na parang "plastic sound is more audible rather than the horn's sound outside"... kapag may makukulit kasing tricycle samin busina ako ng busina parang mas malakas ung "tak tak tak" sound... balak ko nga palitan ung horn kaso cute ung stock na horn natin eh... naexperince ko din na dumudulas ung kamay ko sa steering wheel pero kung yung driver namin okay lang daw sa kanya....

P.S. sir mas marami akong nakikitang Red na Strada... GLX at GLS... pero sa province, cool silver... alam niyo na kung bakit... he!he!he!

* sir DonT: ang cheap nga po talaga nung material na nilagay sa arm rest... 3 months palang samin ang dami ng gasgas... hay nako... siguro palagyan nalang leatherette cover pagdating ng tatay ko...

wala naman na akong ibang problem sa Strada... maganda parin naman siya idrive... ika nga eh "love-it-or-hate-it" ni sir ianmitsulancer

[ianmitsulancer]

*mikko_018- hehehe! love-it-or-hate it indeed... but our overall impression naman sa strada is good diba!? heheh

Ser bakit ako kahet 4x2 glx lang (mas maliit ang gulong than 3.2s) eh nabibigatan rin sa kabigan compared sa steering ng fuego namen dati? though i dont think may prob ung steering wheel its just that parang ganun lang talaga siya, hindi naman mabigat in a sense mahirap i kabeg but compared lang sa fuego ko dati sarap ng manibela.

Oo nga eh. Naisip ko tuloy, probably the stradas were made and designed for muscled men. Time to go back to the gym! :showoff:hehehe
