New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[louchua]

Sabi nung dealer ko okay lang naman magdagdag sa sound system just as long as kung magkaproblema sa electrical, hindi yung pagkakakabit sa mga yun ang dahilan nung problema. Kaya make sure kung magpapakabit ka bagong sound system, dun sa professionals.

Dun ako nagpa-setup kay mickey. Suggestion nya dun sa ilalim nung front passenger seat pero dun ko na pinalagay sa likod ng rear seat. RF 12" shallow sub ginamit, yung amp ko na lang nasa ilalim ng front passenger seat, at morel dotech ovation 6 seps sa harap. Pinalitan ko na rin yung HU ko ng pioneer 7950ub para pwede sa ipod and 160Gb portable HDD ko.

sir, kasya ang RF 12" shallow type sub sa likod ng rear seats ng strada? may mga tinganggal pa ba kayo para magkasya? and waht about the enclosure? tnx!

not sure if these are 275's or 265's


afaik tsikot member din yung owner nyan. hehe

mukhang baguio city ang location ah! indeed the red and silver strada pics look cool! i just dnt knw why the product planners of MMPC did not put it in the first place... a good example is when the 4x4 2.8 Pajero was silently introduced in 1998- it came with H/T Dueller tires and when the revised 4x2 2.8 Pajero came in 2002, A/T Dueller tires came in the picture- an absolute mismatch!

Sana di ko ako makaranas ng naging problem sa steering; alam ko lang po kasi magdrive, dito nga lang me kahit papano natututo ng mga terms thru ur advices.

Thanks to all of you Gentlemen.

Wala pa naman akong naririnig na problem sa 3.2. Baka na-fix na nila doon pa lang sa planta. Pero kung magkakaroon naman, walang sisingilin sa iyo kahit singko. There's no safety issue doon sa steering column problem, may konting lagutok lang pag lumiliko. Pag naramdaman mo, umorder ka kaagad and in two weeks time, maikakabit na siya and it will take them just half-a-day to install.

Ipa-drive mo sa erpats mo yung strada, baka magbago kaagad ng isip

yes sir, kasya sa likod yung enclosed sub na pinagawa ko. GLX ang drive ko pero I don't think may pinagkaiba naman sa space sa likod ng rear seat between GLS and GLX. Yes, you're right, may pinatanggal ako, yung lalagyan ng jack. Di kasi lalapat ng maayos yung baffles at hindi mai-lock yung seat pag di tinanggal yun. small price to pay for better sounds.

Siguro gumastos ako ng around 55K sa initial setup. Ang nakapagpamahal talaga dun (medyo luho na nga yun) yung morel dotech ovation 6 separates, which cost me around 17-18k. Gusto ko kasi maganda ang quality ng output sa front.

Then, of course, yung enclosed sub (around 9-10k ata) kasi kulang sa bass yung setup pag wala e. yung seps and sub sa isang crunch powerzone pZi175.4 4-channel amp (around 9k) nakakabit (which is under the front passenger seat).

yung rear stock speakers ko sa HU (i changed my HU to pioneer 7950UB, around 11k at that time) na lang at binawasan ko volume para di sabog sa tunog. I'll upgrade it later with a set of morel coaxials.

Tanong ninyo rin sa dealers nyo kung di nga ma-void ang warranty when you upgrade your sound setup. If you decide to do so, you can have it done at Mickeys Autosound (where I had mine done) in Cainta or sa shop ni Jeff Tan in Araneta Avenue (kung budget setup ang gusto mo).

The only issue I had w/ mine was the clutch was too high tapos hindi smooth ang shifting ng gears parang jeepney
Went back to the dealer had the cluth adjusted , habang tumagal naging smooth na rin ang shifting
It's been 2 weeks na , 1300km
I just cant make up mu minmd if I'd put a lid on the bed or a utility box nalang

WOW!!! you spend a total of 103k on your sound system? super pogi na strada natin nyan. hows the sound sir compared to rockford fostgate of mitsu? alin ba mas maganda output . thanks

Ent_Md's post indeed says that the D-max is the most economical having a fuel consumption of 8.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. That's 11.9km/l. Next na pinakamatipid according to Ent_Md's post is the 3.0 Hilux (11.76km/l), then the 2.5 Navarra (10.20km/l). The 3.2 Triton/Strada and the 3.0 Ranger are the least economical having a FC of 9.62km/l.

ows sorry, kala ko km/l yon, l/100km pala, definitely dmax ang pinakamatipid.

the 3.2 strada is not ideal car for everday use like downtown drive, i think its more for towing and long hauling drives. i prefer 2.5, mas tipid and yet di naman underpowered, esp if you put a power chip, that will boost up to 160hp.

TO 3.2 owner ,

Malakas na malakas na po ba talaga tunog engine if nasa 100kph na takbo? usually kc kasama ko wife ko and baby, bka they will not feel comfortable pag malakas na engine on that speed. un lang kc max speed ko if they are with me. Im planning to sell my '04 sedan and get a 4x4 matic STRADA. I prefer pick-up because of business reason.

By the way sa front seat hinda naman po matagtag? sana sa rear seats lang ang tagtag

Thanks in advance..

If I remember correctly, nasa 2,100 ata rpm kapag cruising at 100kph. So it means na relaks na relaks ang engine. You actually have to be careful on the pedals, kasi nga very powerful siya almost double the power of sedans.

behn_axehl tel your dad with the kind of road we have here in camanava mawawala porma mo sa hilux sa tagtag given our roads...

Naku! Kung Makukumbinsi ko pala dad ko for sure panalong panalo ang strada sa byahe ko, From Valenzuela - Tarlac - Bataan - Pangasinan - Vice versa; From Valenzuela - Pasig - Laguna - Batangas - Quezon po kasi ang byahe ko almost every week...
