New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

**glycerine** · January 20th, 2008 08:21 PM

Hi guys, just bought kanina ng utility box by rubbermaid, yung tag 8k php sa true value pero just got it around 4kphp sale kase sila lahat ng rubbermaid products. hindi kaseng ganda ng sa carryboy pero it will serve its purpose i guess, now ang problem ko is pano ko siya ikakabet ng maayos, kasya siya sa likod and pantay naman yung taas sa bed ko, ask ko lang baka may alam ko magaling mag ayos ng mga ganito and mga magkano budget? kase kung wala balak ko i chain na lang dun sa hooks ng bed e then double adhesives para hindi gumalaw, pero i was hoping na makabet ito na parang yung sa carryboy na mahirap nakawen and stable yung pag kakabet para hindi umuga uga.

i'm encouraging you to join the EB learn more and meet new friends from the forums. kung payag sila, you can ride/drive their stradas. but i won't be there kasi my boss didn't approve my leave and i will b coming all the way from baguio in case i'l see you all.

im not sure kung 2008 na yung quote samin kasi dec pa yung quotation niya, pero sabi nung ahente nun na wala pa unit na gls sport a/t nun, by feb pa daw. siguro yun batch na dadating sa feb ay 2008 model na..

sayang sir ianmitsulancer di kayo ma kakapunta,cge ill register..kahit di nako siguro sumakay baka dinako maka tulog sa sobrang inggit at paglalaway ,pag na kakakita nga ako sa daan pa uwe from work napapanaginipan ko pa minsan eh!hehehe

[quote=av8or5;993930]do join us sa eb even if wala strada. its best to know the car your about to buy from the owners themselves. bro, contact my agent, she can offer you better than above (is the 3m tint kasama full windshield?)my 3m tint kasama full windshield for free din. . my lto was free and other things pa, but glx lang sa akin..i bet for your gls meron pa more freebies...ask mo rin si boz...he bought from my agent as well. i also visited citimotors makati and ganyan din bigay sa akin, but my agent from citimotors las pinas gave more than what makati agent could offer. you can private message me for her contact number or back read as I have posted her number (with her permission of course). tell her I referred you, she knows what to do to give you the best offer she can possibly give.

hmmm... this is interesting... a good deal, i must say...

i presume that the box would simply have curved walls so screwing it to the wall of the pick up bed will be tough. also, If u got a GLX, GLS or GLS Sport, you will have to deal with the tough-as-nails hard plastic bed liner. Looking at the cargo box of my friend's 2003 Strada A/T, there are 2 big screws bolted to the bed wall. you can lift it up, say 5mm and pulls itself back to position. it might break if i exerted more effort...

i want u to back read also... i believe that at one time, the cargo box was the topic of disscusion some months ago- i wasn't too active on this thread back then.

drop by the EB on the 26th and i believe drake (?) has a cargo box. notice the type of screw - (2 of them) that carryboy used and find a counterpart, going back to the contour of your cargo box, it is a challenge for you to fabricate an block/adapter from the cargobox wall to the pickup bed wall- of hard plastic or wood perhaps... to prevent unecessary movement. then screw it- 2 of them. once you bore a hole on the body will void the rustproofing warranty- just like other selected pickup bed accessories.

how is the locking mechanism pala? by key or u will put a padlock?

if all else fails, im very sure you can find other uses for that box... a treasure chest?

good luck bro... sensya na... being in the call center and growing up in english speaking schools took over my native tongue...

at this time, the batch of 08 stradas must be inside the ship to be distributed from the plant- port of entry is the seaport of batangas.

a while ago, i saw a blue GLS Sport purchased from Motorplaza last month with carryboy sport lid and visors- i started to drooooollll and daydream on the spot!!!!!! i was bright-eyed and dreamy

!!! i couldnt stare at it for long kasi someone was inside. but... wow! i wanted to take picture of it but there were a lot of people. too bad... back to reality

...but make mine silver!

I have no problem w/ my truck doing 10.1 li/100 kms basta hataw ng hataw
Mukang matakaw lang sa gulong

ever since I took my truck up to 170kph , parang lalo lumakas ang acceleration. Na break in yata ang makina hehe pati andar mas smoother

Gls Sport din yun unit m? Lakas nga ng hatak pero havent tried 150+kph territory maybe after reaching 2k on my odometer.

just came back from tagaytay and was able to drive my car at 145kph. kayang kaya pa to go faster, but takot na ako, i have thinner tires and dumadami na cars sa harap,so i had to slow down. this truck is a good sports truck. quiet pa rin sya with good aerodynamics.

eslonblue: just update the post regarding the upcoming eb and will see you there. btw, replied to your email. you can also PM me your cell so I could introduce you to all or just approach us at the said venue. Friendly naman kami. join us even if wla ka pa strada..but i bet when you see all these nice strada, you will be excited to have yours (for sure)

Bro, kaya yan hanggang 180kph, pareho lang tayo ng engine. Mag-upgrade ka na ng tires. Your engine is much too powerful for your tires. Safety is more important than warranty.

eslonblue, av8or5 and I have the same agent. But she's on maternity leave, but I'm sure she can always assist you. I got my truck last Nov. At that time, the price of GLS Sport M/T was P1.23M pero may 20k discount, so P1.21M na lang. Freebies included full 3M tint, 3 year LTO, rainvisors, plus the standard freebies like EWD, floor mats, seatcovers na pangit. What I discovered that you can easily bargain for these freebies. Just tell the agent that other dealers are offering me these, so why can't they?
