New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[sabadun]

lapit mo lang pala sir sabadun... kailan balik ng strada mo dito sa manila? if you want, even without your ride, you can still join the club's activities in order to know the members and the modifications we've done in our stradas. we can also give you tips on where to purchase them (syempre yung mas mura but the same quality sa casa), or just share a few beers with us, hehehe

sana makajoin ka rin sa baguio fun run ng club para mabinyagan natin ang strada mo with matching photo ops side by side with other equally nice variants ng strada.... very active ang club na ito and we are constantly accepting quality members who can further enrich the sense of brotherhood and fun for each individual...

Hi sir av8or5 and ThePatriarch i really like to join club and the activities kaya lang medyo nahuli ako ng konti. actually i brought my ride in the province for safe keeping muna. i will be out of the country on 1st week of nov. for 3 to 4 mos. if you have any activity with the club next week i would like to join. i hope its okey without the ride.. for initial membership para pagbalik full time na. sir pwede nyong palang ma post ang link ng website ng strada club at affiliates nito? thanks...

*sabadun- i understand po and we wish u the best of luck in your endeavors as well.
as far as an EB for next week is concerned, pls keep yourself posted regarding the club's weekly mini EB. Yes, u can attend even though your ride is at the province for safekeeping ([SIZE=1]i second what thepatriarch has mentioned[/SIZE]). Also, there is an affair with Tsikot- The Autober Fest today, saturday as mentioned by sir Av8or5. i would like to encourage you to drop by as fellow club members will be there- but you ([SIZE=1]as well as my fellow BOSBs[/SIZE]) will have to excuse me kasi i tried to ask for a leave at work but it was declined- due to staffing reasons here.

*Clone911- a gray GLX Strada is also appealing! sorry to hear that you had to wait for "eternity" for a red one to show up at the dealer. please keep us posted as you get your unit in the coming days po.

hmmm... come to think of it, dumadami na ang mga taga-mindanao ei!

*tancho_kuhaku- musta na penpal? hehehehe... no need for you to say sorry. in fact, the phone should say sorry to you. musta na si black beauty? just keep those questions coming.

*bikolana- welcome to the thread! congrats po. nice GLX with fender flares you got there! tanong ko po... what happened to the center cap sa front wheel? I believe sir Bluemica is from the bicol region- i'm sure you will hear from him soon.

sige sir..we hope to meet you in one of the meet-ups planned for the year. Just bring a copy of proof of ownership in one of the meetup, i think that would suffice for now.

*av8or5 - actually sir i been here on this thread lurking in the dark for 3 months ago reading every post infos pros and cons of the "spaceship" coz my preference that time was "everybody love INNOVA" but from the time i saw one in our town i say "someday ill be your pilot", then i search and learned from this thread and one day morning im heading to casa to apply for the unit, im like a trowing stone to a moon for that purpose but luckily hit the mocking bird dead. and i think im waiting to long for my Jumbo jet so i decide to go with gray. and hopefully next week tuesday i will be able to dock her. By the way I am from mindanao particular Cotabato City, my unit will come from Gen. Santos.

regardless of the color, i know you have chosen the right ride, and be it your in Cotabato, I guess those roads there your strada will prevail Meron tayo dyan isa pang owner of the Strada.he post here as well.

[Clone911]

* ianmitsulance - i will sir,

by the way po sa break in period po ba shall i faithfully follow the guide? or pag labas sa casa hataw ko na kaagad.

[dadz]

Kanya kanyang pamama raan yan bro Clone911 ako kasi salahat nag naging auto ko sinusunod ko ang tamang break in. Gaya nag bago mag 1k and speed ko lang e until 80 kph, me iba naaman ang pamama raan.

[Clone911]

*dadz- Tama po kayo dyan sir, pero ang concerned ko lang po sir eh sa mga humataw na ng d pa umabot ng 1k ang odo kumusta na po ang mga ride nila after several years,

sa lahat po ng me 4d56 engine paano nyo po ni break in ang unit nyo then hows your ride now? me pag sisi ba kayo sa paraan na ginawa nyo?
at dun po sa na replacesan ng trans.

this forum help a lot sa mga future buyers and had problems sa unit

Sir President po ng club pwede po ba akong mag join kahit na nasa malayo po ako.

[ianmitsulancer]

oo nga eh, next time nandito ka sa manila, mag-allot ka ng isang gabi for the BOSBs, hehehe

...in addition to that, add a sidetrip to Baguio ha... hehehehe :peace:

--------------------------

*Clone911 - i highly recommend following the manual for break-in. don't run beyond 100kph, no abrupt starts and stops and no racing the engine.

[av8or5]

* ianmitsulance - i will sir,

by the way po sa break in period po ba shall i faithfully follow the guide? or pag labas sa casa hataw ko na kaagad.

sir, just follow the guide. just try not to go over 100kph, dont break suddenly, dont accelerate rapidly..normal driving lang sir for the first 1000km

[jjmoto]

hi guys! will finally get my strada on monday. adobe grey GLX. i live in Binan and I see a handful of stradas here sa area namin especially sa Pacita pag nagbabantay ako ng shop ko.

this forum really made me decide to purchase the unit. very good inputs. this is my first diesel powered vehicle so the forum is really quite informative on impt items to check.

just some querries to the experts here for clarification:
1. according to the SA, di na raw kailangan ng turbo timer kasi CRDi na raw ung makina and advanced na raw ang technology nito?

2. what are the "essential" accessories that needs to be purchased whether for aesthetic enhancements, security, safety or performance? in order of importance? sabi nung SA unahin daw yung tire lock kasi madaling manakaw yung gulong. i made him give it for free hehe...

3. related to #1, what is the proper way to shut down the engine? nasanay kasi ako na inaapakan pa yung accelerator para "i-pump" yung engine before taking off the key. paano sa inyo?

more power to this group! hope to join you in the next EB's

as for the membership... nasa planning stage na ang davao EB... some of the officers might go there para mag-accept ng membership from the mindanao area... or if you happen to dropby dito sa manila, feel free to inform us para we can have an instant mini EB just for you... viola! member ka na, hehehe

congrats in advance sa ride mo sir jjmoto... im sure hindi ka na makatulog ngayon in anticipation... hehehe

to answer your questions:
1. turbo timer is designed to protect and cool down the turbo after prolonged/hard driving... although not 100% needed, this device adds to the life of your turbo... PhP2,500+ price of turbo timer vs more than PhP50,000 price of a new turbo if it bogs down prematurely... that would be the choice you have to make. also, i think binobola ka ng SA mo kasi the turbo timer is not in any way related sa CRDi engine...
2. buying a tire lock is a good advice... buti you got is for free. rain gutter is functional... fender flares and body cladding put more 'muscle' on the looks of your strada... perforated leather seats with matching leather cover for the steering wheel... 17" mags with mickey thompson ATZ tires for better ride, handling and braking... hardtop bed cover to protect your belongings... teka parang mods na sa strada ko mga yun ah! hahahaha
3. dude, pumping the accelerator then suddenly turning off your engine will have an adverse effect on the timing... no disrespect sa iyo but that practice should be limited sa mga jeepney drivers (para daw ma-clear yung carbon deposits sa mga old diesel engines)! the proper way to turn off your engine is to let it idle for a few seconds to normalize the idling (if you dont have a turbo timer) then swith it off. ganun lang kasimple

we surely hope to see you sa mga future activities ng club. drive inspired!

[dadz]

Bro jjmoto tama si bro ThePatriach needed ang turbo timer fro me. When you run your truck the oil is passing in the turbo and the oil is hot making the turbo hot. If you sunddenly turn off the engine the remaining oil in the turbo will burn yan ang maaring sumira nag turbo. Turbo timer with the set time keep the engine running until the every thing is cooled down including the oil and the turbo. Sa pag bomba naman nag gas pago mag patay ay talagang ginagawa lang nag jeep or auto para malinis ang carbon at nag mag add nag charge sa battery para next time e mag start ulit.

oo nga eh, next time nandito ka sa manila, mag-allot ka ng isang gabi for the BOSBs, hehehe

...in addition to that, add a sidetrip to Baguio ha... hehehehe :peace:

[tancho_kuhaku]

*sabadun- i understand po and we wish u the best of luck in your endeavors as well.
as far as an EB for next week is concerned, pls keep yourself posted regarding the club's weekly mini EB. Yes, u can attend even though your ride is at the province for safekeeping ([SIZE=1]i second what thepatriarch has mentioned[/SIZE]). Also, there is an affair with Tsikot- The Autober Fest today, saturday as mentioned by sir Av8or5. i would like to encourage you to drop by as fellow club members will be there- but you ([SIZE=1]as well as my fellow BOSBs[/SIZE]) will have to excuse me kasi i tried to ask for a leave at work but it was declined- due to staffing reasons here.

*Clone911- a gray GLX Strada is also appealing! sorry to hear that you had to wait for "eternity" for a red one to show up at the dealer. please keep us posted as you get your unit in the coming days po.

hmmm... come to think of it, dumadami na ang mga taga-mindanao ei!

*tancho_kuhaku- musta na penpal? hehehehe... no need for you to say sorry. in fact, the phone should say sorry to you. musta na si black beauty? just keep those questions coming.

*bikolana- welcome to the thread! congrats po. nice GLX with fender flares you got there! tanong ko po... what happened to the center cap sa front wheel? I believe sir Bluemica is from the bicol region- i'm sure you will hear from him soon.

ok naman si black beauty ko hehe copyrighted yan kay sir TP. hehe
ill make a new name for HER nlng po.

[jjmoto]

congrats in advance sa ride mo sir jjmoto... im sure hindi ka na makatulog ngayon in anticipation... hehehe

actually one month na ko di nakakatulog ng maayos hehe..

to answer your questions:
1. turbo timer is designed to protect and cool down the turbo after prolonged/hard driving... although not 100% needed, this device adds to the life of your turbo...

well said... i'll buy one if thats the case.

2. buying a tire lock is a good advice... buti you got is for free. rain gutter is functional... fender flares and body cladding put more 'muscle' on the looks of your strada... perforated leather seats with matching leather cover for the steering wheel... 17" mags with mickey thompson ATZ tires for better ride, handling and braking... hardtop bed cover to protect your belongings... teka parang mods na sa strada ko mga yun ah! hahahaha

thanks for this. i think i'll go with the fender flare, rain gutter and sports lid muna para kasya sa budget

3. dude, pumping the accelerator then suddenly turning off your engine will have an adverse effect on the timing... no disrespect sa iyo but that practice should be limited sa mga jeepney drivers (para daw ma-clear yung carbon deposits sa mga old diesel engines)! the proper way to turn off your engine is to let it idle for a few seconds to normalize the idling (if you dont have a turbo timer) then swith it off. ganun lang kasimple

ayos! thanks for the inputs! thanks thepatriarch and also to dadz!

[Boz]

actually one month na ko di nakakatulog ng maayos hehe..

Ok lang yan sir, normal lang yan. Lahat dumadaan sa ganyan.
