New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ooba99]

thats what they said as well..but when verified...they have taken the module of TT...anyhow..its best if someone who had it activated after sept 2007 could attest to this... and also it depends on the stock...could be sept 2007 release, but the unit was an old stock.

I do not think my unit is an old stock because it is the first released (first batch) GLS Sport. Actually, I was about to get a 2.5 GLS on July 2007. But when I heard the news that they are coming out with the 3.2 version I held back and waited for its release and was able to get it September 2007.

It is not only the turbo timer that MMPC removed starting on 2008 models. They also removed the remote automatic start feature of the MMAS. Probably the 2 are bundled in the system, and since there were complaints on the automatic start they removed this, and nadawit lang ang turbo timer (which is nothing but an engine shut-off delaying device). If you try to take a look at it, the remote auto start and the turbo timer are exact opposites of a function.

Sir eslonblue, ikaw, pina-activate mo ba yung remote start at turbo timer mo sa winterpine?

Redhorse,

What is your 10th digit number? Mines is "8", so I assume I don't have the RS and TT anymore.

Would be nice to have a Sagada Fun Run or how about the Hot Air Baloon Festival in Subic this Feb. 12-15? O/T na.

BTW, where is Winterpine?

chasis no? 10th digit from the right? my is 8

to solve this,

go to winterpine, pa checkup na lang, if the module is there, and the 6-dip switches are covered by a silicon glue. most prob, nka disable lang.. good luck

be nice to the tech...

Strada Club mini EB tonight 8 pm at Metrowalk parking lot near the airsoft field. Coincidentally, Team STAG (Strada Tactical Assault Group) will play at the said airsoft site, hehehe

Also, camping EB on Saturday (overnight event) at sir Arvin's property in San Mateo, Rizal. Meeting place at sir Arvin's yard in Marcos Hiway Marikina City around 4 pm Saturday.

No problem, hockenheim. If you appreciate what I did, you can push the Thanks button. It's at the right lower corner of my post.

*hockenheim, BOSBs and tsikoteers, yup yup yup... pampa-pogi points natin yan! hehehehe

*Idoy, im afraid i don't know where winterpine is. however, the dealer might know where it is... or a fellow BOSB can post it here... thanks in advance. (yung thanks button 'ha...)

*Ooba99, correct for 10 points! probably you (Lucky) are one of the first 3.2 Stradas that your dealer has rolled out from the showroom then. with that in mind, im sure the MMAS system was NOT old stock po.

*eslonblue and jeffthermosa- belated happy birthday to the both of you! Drive*earth Inspired.

RedHorse's unit is A/T same version like Doc Ooba99's... only BLACK.

pics of his ride coming in a moment... baka mag hang uli ang tsikot...

*RedHorse, musta na bro? hows your Strada na po?

[ianmitsulancer]

here is the ride of Redhorse from his visit to Baguio sometime April 2008 with sir G01... it may have the G500 canopy BUT the main attraction was the ARB bullbar!

[sadek]

Wala po engine shut down feature ang Strada. Sa immobilizer naman, pag equipped ang engine ng vehicle, hindi oobra yung pag-hotwire or pag-direct wiring sa engine para ma-start. Nasa key kasi ang code na magtrigger sa ECU to allow the engine to run. So the only chance for the carnapper to take your vehicle is kung nasa kanya yung correct key.

Maraming Salamat po!!

So di po pwede dito yung ordinary key duplication at ingatan din natin yung susi na di mag error..Thanks again sa info.

*hockenheim, BOSBs and tsikoteers, yup yup yup... pampa-pogi points natin yan! hehehehe

Aside from the pogi points , I am trying to educating newbies of the function of the different buttons that you see around.

*Ooba99, correct for 10 points! probably you (Lucky) are one of the first 3.2 Stradas that your dealer has rolled out from the showroom then. with that in mind, im sure the MMAS system was NOT old stock po.

Yup, right you are, I am one of those who got the first shipment of the 4m41 stradas.

Was the front bumper cut to accomodate the ARB?

Any volunteer to test the piggy back system na dadalin ko for dyno test to see the additional HP and torque, im planning to have it dyno in speed lab and auto plus to demo the piggy back system also mga bro's baka me naka fortuner kayo na kilala also for test and demo of piggy back system im looking for triton and fortuner.

All piggy back system is plug and play wala pong putulan nag wire kaya safe padin po kayo for service hindi ma apektuhan ang warranty.

[ianmitsulancer]

Was the front bumper cut to accomodate the ARB?

AFAIK, yes, it was a bumper cut because the bumper is merged with the front grille- specifically the centerpiece Mt. Fuji part with the Mitsubishi logo so if it was a total bumper removal, pati yan kasali din EXCEPT for the 2006-2007 GLX 4x4 like Fellow BOSBs Mr_Incredible and Bluemica na separate chrome grille and stock front bumper (originally unpainted black).

With this type of bumper, My concerns are:
1. the removal of the foglamps.
2. pedestrian safety.

Hi guys! Newbie here..

Im very happy to say that we got our new black GLS just last week .
I never thought that I'd be converted from a strada hater to a lover overnight!

It was my wife's decision to buy a strada, for I've always wanted a trekker.
Well obviously,she has a better taste than I do.

But during our test drives, I noticed that our unit swerves to the right every time i let go of the wheel...and yes, the wheel is not normally aligned in the center.

How can this happen to a brand new car? Did any of you sirs experienced the same thing?

Other than those above mentioned concerns, overall, the truck looks and feels great. Is there a strada club here in davao?

[dadz]

sakin pwede! basta't wala ng tanggalan! hahhahaha teka, magkano ba yun sir dadz?

Bro check it out muna hehehehehehe bago ang price hehehehehehe okay yan lets put the piggy back system to your truck and dyno so we will see how much HP at Torque ma dagdag, depende kasi bro i will bring 2 types of piggy back system let us see kung ano ang okay.

[G01]

Was the front bumper cut to accomodate the ARB?

Yes, I saw during the mini-eb that the lower portion of the bumper and even the fender flares had to be cut away.

I saw in one Australian website where the original foglamps had been incorporated neatly to the ARB bumper. They foglamp frame had to be trimmed though so that they will fit.

Congratulations, sir Bertobol, for being a covert and an owner of a black GLS Strada .

Regarding your veering problem, I suggest you bring yur Strada back to the casa to have your unit aligned. I did not experience that when I drove home my brand new unit.
