New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[Arvin Cristi]

hehehehehehe Sorry mr. av8or5!!!!! nagkamali ako ng type ng pangalan!!!

[egaysky]

mr. elsonblue, silhoutte ang kita. nahihirapan kasi ako pag sa dark tint. Pero madami din ang naka dark naman... to each their own!!

noted sir thank you!
sir question din regarding your tint and to other BOSB, 3M po ba tint nyo?balak ko kasi black yung tint ko yung hndi ako kita sa luob, tama ba na dark sa sides and medium sa windshield and sa rear?ang concern ko kasi baka mahirpan ako mag drive pag gabe, pag tumitingin sa side mirror..thanks

We have a ford everest before which has full dark tint. Bago pa lang sunset kailangan ko ng mag headlight kasi madilim na yung nakikita ko. You may have also noticed these on the road anywhere. Even on dark cloudy days, you will see some drivers already using headlights. Chances are, they have full dark tint. Then last year we tried it on our Fortuner. This time, it was only dark tint on the sides and medium tint on the front and rear. Still it is hard to see on the side mirror. On both vehicles we have to take it off and changed it to medium tint. So dito sa strada ko medium tint na lang pinalagay ko. I know a lot of people don't want to be seen inside just like me but the problem is, it also lessen my visibility looking out lalo na pa medyo malabo na yung paningin ko. Anyway, silhouette lang naman kita sa iyo sa medium tint. In the end it will be your choice. Ika nga e kanya kanya lang tayo ng diskarte at opinyon.

*INVINZOR927,

IMO... MMC had to balance the size height of the 17" tires over the width of the 16" tires... so if i was to visualize the 2008 strada with 265/65R17 tires (instead of the standard 245), there might be tendency for it to hit (kiss-kiss) the wheel well and other underchassis components for the front wheels- and it would look very, very odd if the rear tires had a bigger tire size. BUT considering that there are Strada Owners there who have those big bling-bling 20"+++ tires, i may not know what could be the reason.

7"LCD for the HU? is it a motorized screen from the HU? i think this might be available at the 2.5 GLS 4x4 paano na yung RV meter? andyan pa ba?

pls post pictures of your ride when u get it bro... be happy!

OK, Sir Ianmitsulancer, post ko kaagad pictures when I get the unit. With comments kung ok yung profile ng tires na ikinabit nila sa 2008 series ng Strada. Pati gulong kukunan ko. Qou vadis, MIkko_18?

Welcome to the Strada thread, sir awoo. If you are from metro manila, do join us sa mga EBs that we organize every month. There is one forthcoming and its the Grand EB sa Tsikot Autofest this coming Saturday. Mag-member ka na rin ng Strada Club. Do visit our yahoo group site: stradaph to know the other strada owners.

On your query on the fender flares, miggyboy ang pinakamura. I think it's the same that is placed in the higher variants of strada. Dun sa stradaph yahoo group site naka post yung accessories, prices and seller.

I hope you will enjoy the company of the strada lovers in this thread.

*awoo! you're not a wolf, are you? joke lang

welcome to the strada club of the philippines! we are a bunch of guys with a common interest for the mitsubishi truck with the common rail (make no mistake: earlier generation stradas are also welcome)! we are looking forward to a picture of your ride on the forum. and you will receive a similar welcome (like this) from the other members quickly because other Band-Of-Strada-Brothers (BOSB) are habitually logging in to this and see what's new!

for the fender flares, please read the posts by thepatriarch, our vice president among others. he has a black strada GLX with with fenderflares and his post says it all with a good explanation. it is possible to have an upgrade with your tires and we haven't heard of any differences or side effects sa speedo, trip meter or odometer- unless anyone here crops up with the problem. may i suggest upgrading it to the play-safe GLS spec 245x16 making it look macho at the same time giving you a wider grip.

this thread may be your subsititue for a car magazine and even the pocket book you read on your spare time! hehehehe! please feel free to back read!

again, welcome awoo!

drive inspired, ianmitsulancer

*eslonblue- it seems to be that egayski and arvin may have answered your question. actually, +1 ako din. i used my sister's Altis G with silver medium magic tint- 3m ata and my vision is not compromised. however, if your vision is not 20/20 and it is blurish i suggest NOT to tint the front- only the upper portion of the glass. But with privacy at hand, then u can.

*mikko_018 or anyone else, can someone plot the EB meeting place and the Antipolo Church for the blessing of the Stradas on google earth or wikimapia? or siguro gagana yung navigation ng N95 ni thepatriarch... hehehe

update: my boss gave me some perfomance metrics that i must attain so i can go the EB and meet all of you... i'm still 50/50 in chances. this is a work in progress. pls wish me luck! thanks.
