New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[av8or5]

mga sirs, this is my first time to post.
meron po bang thread dito ng strada 2000-05 model? im planning to acquire one, hope you could redirect me.

Thanks

i tried searching..not really much info on older strada... what's your question..maybe someone can answer or we can ask two of our members who has your year model strada.

Got it installed yesterday! Thanks for all the help!

great..why dont you join the club. you will learn more.

[vinkim]

basics lang po sir, such as the engine, ilang kms/liter, if its easy to maintain, stock size of tires and rims etc.

currently, I own a gen 2 pajero and its very easy to maintain, parts and even aftermarket, just thinking if the previous gen strada is the same with paj gen 2 or 2.5 in terms of parts availability and car durability.

Planning to replace my car with this kind of truck.
Also, whats the price range

thanks mga boss.

[jdlegaspi]

what the biggest possible tires pwede sa stock strada? stock gls rims din po. thanks.

*av8or5
Actually it is not the top that was cut but the underneath about 2 inches ,it will not be noticeable unless you peek the underneath, true the metal body is exposed and future seepin of water or dirt likely to happen, so im planning to seek the help of upholstery guy to wrap or patch up a long (fore & up) sheet of durable synthetic sheet,about 6 inches width, another expenses to the mounting cost of dressing up . I'm planning to have her a leatherette seat cover but not a smooth transition due my wife dislike the idea dahil mainit daw like our pajero ,the leather when exposed under the sun fried eggs ang labas. Any comments about the idea of leatherette seat covers or I'll just go to the traditional cloth material. My other car is nagseselos because she is not pampered like the lady strada.

its actually the preference of the owner...but many owners have had those done to their strada seats...join the club.you will see it in actual.

hi guys. tagal nako di nakalogin. at di pa rin member!

6 months of ownership at wala pa naman problema up until this morning. i think it's a minor one.

started my ride after a 3 day hiatus. everything was ok except for the fuel gauge. empty daw. eh meron pa ko half tank. in fact, the digital thingie in the middle tells me that i still have enough to run for like 270 kms.

if the needle is down and the empty tank indicator is lit, i'm wondering if it's just a sensor problem. di naman siguro yung needle mismo

first time to have encountered this problem. and on a 6month old strada pa.

anyway, i'll have it checked tomorrow. will keep you guys posted

[vinkim]

that good. keep it coing mga sirs.
anyway, engine po? is it the same with gen2 paj?

[dadz]

*sir skippy dalin mo na lang sa casa kasi pwedeng sensor or me na dis connect lang sa dash board kasi it happen to one of our friends dito akala nya sensor yun pala me bumitaw lang sa dash board nataranta siya hehehehehehehehe.

*sir vinkim ang engine po nag mga strada is as follows gen2-4d56 turbo(same with the gen1 pajero), gen3-4d56 turbo inter cooler(same with gen2 pajero) and the new one is 4d56 turbo inter cooler and 4m41 turbo inter cooler(same with pajero sport and im not so sure kung same nang new pajero), sa pajero engine po ang wala lang katulad e yung mga gasolina at yung 4m40 na enngine.

hi guys,

newbie here. am about to upgrade from a gsr to a strada (most probably a glx or a gls) within the next few months. hoping to join you guys real soon.

am happy with all the specs i've been researching so far, except for one little thing...i could be wrong, but judging from the brochure, even the highest model strada (gls sport custom) apparently does not come with a dvd video system or backup sensors.

had a chance to use an alterra this past week, and i have decided that this small feature will be a necessity for me (unfortunately, i am not the best backer-upper in the world, and- like most of us probably are-i am not a fan of sitting still in heavy traffic).

so, my humble queries are as follows:

1) has anybody here attempted to install a third party DVD-video-backup +backup monitor system (preferably GPS-ready) on a glx or a gls?

2) if so, what brands have you installed? any feedback on performance? price?

3) for the backup video system, how do they install the camera at the rear, and can they install it so that it's not stealable? (kasi in the alterra it's integrated in the body, so miscreants can't just lop it off.) do they have to drill into the body?

4) may i humbly request for recommendations with regards to vendors who offer the best price and reliable service? contact details and addresses would be highly appreciated.


thanks in advance, and more power!

welcome to the thread sir. I also have a gsr when I bought my strada.... my wife inherited my gsr since i dont want to sell the said vehicle for sentimental reasons hehehe.

for your queries, our president, av8or5, can answer most of them since he installed a 2 din DVD player with back up camera...

hope to see you join the club soon! drive inspired!

[vinkim]

thanks

search mo sa tsikot or sa mitsubishi root thread...someone posted them there. or mr google can help

[av8or5]

please see my reply

1) has anybody here attempted to install a third party DVD-video-backup +backup monitor system (preferably GPS-ready) on a glx or a gls?
its easier in GLX because we dont have the MID
2) if so, what brands have you installed? any feedback on performance? price?

there are a lot of store that carry 2din HU, just choose the one that fits your budget and features you want

3) for the backup video system, how do they install the camera at the rear, and can they install it so that it's not stealable? (kasi in the alterra it's integrated in the body, so miscreants can't just lop it off.) do they have to drill into the body?

they drill the bumper and its will take time for them to steal it, its screwed on.

4) may i humbly request for recommendations with regards to vendors who offer the best price and reliable service? contact details and addresses would be highly appreciated.

try jessa of citimotors

natuwa ako dito... Free Goat for every Triton(strada) sold- in NZ!

http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.nz/c..._item_0168.asp

Mitsubishi offers free goat 22 May 2009

In a drive to help the rural community stave off the recession, Mitsubishi Motors is supporting primary productivity by offering a free goat with every new Triton sold before August.

“We firmly believe that New Zealand’s recovery is in the hands of the rural sector and they’re the people who are buying our utes,” said MMNZ general manager of sales and marketing Peter Wilkins. “Goats, like our Tritons, are hardy, versatile units, which will integrate directly into existing farm operations”.

“Goats improve farm productivity by providing an environmentally friendly defence against noxious weeds and they’re a lot cheaper than toxic sprays”.

“Goats also provide export commodities that can help improve our balance of payments. They grow a fine micron fleece, much like the renowned Merino, which can be used to produce high-quality garments. Goat’s milk provides a nutritious alternative for the growing number of lactose intolerant people and while goat meat is seldom featured in Western restaurants, developing countries consume vast quantities,” said Mr Wilkins.

“And, most importantly, there is no such thing as Goat Flu – so no threat to tourism. It’s hard to see a downside,” he added.

“At MMNZ, we are aware that three years of drought has severely depleted sheep and beef populations, so what better time to ‘float the goat’?” said Mr Wilkins. “We’ll supply a free goat with every Triton sold before August and do our bit to loosen the grip of the recession”.

“On the off chance that the purchaser already has enough goats or feels that goat herding is better left to those in drier climes, we’ll supply a ‘no goat package’ consisting of a five-year/100,000km extended warranty, five free WOF inspections, 5,000km road user charges, five years of roadside assistance and $500 of genuine or approved Triton accessories,” Mr Wilkins said.

hmmm, sarap ng kalderetang kambing... or adobo...

[hansypattucci]

*Patriarch: thanks for the welcome, chief! yeah, i know what you mean...don't really want to dispose of my gsr, too many good memories in there! *wink wink ;)

*av8or: thanks for the info mr prez.... not really a sound techie but looked up the abbreviations for 2DIN, at least now i can specify what i want when i visit the stores. also helped me in deciding which strada model to get. wanted the gls for its rear window feature (hmmm...pwede kayang lagyan ang glx nito?) , but now am leaning more towards the glx for the ease of installation of the video system.

speaking of which, 1) which store/installer did you get yours from, and what brand did you install on your ride? ayos ba ang service/performance so far? any buyer's regrets? dehins ba nadamage ang bumper mo when they installed the camera?

2) don't really have an idea of the budget for this, what would be a good price range for a reliable system? any suggestions on brands which give the best bang for the buck?

3) did you also put those lcds on the back seat? yeah, i know it's luho for just a double cab, but want to avoid noisy kids (and adults as well haha) peering over my shoulder to watch the movies on the monitor.

thanks chief!

pa add din ako sa queries mo na pede bang pakabit ng rear window, if im not mistaken ive read sa navara thread carryboy is selling a rear window option daw sa nav, well if meron sa nav theres a big chance na meron din sa strada

hehehe... i didn't know 2doors can do wonders... :naughty2:

============================================

*hansypattucci, hello po sir!

this is what i checked on regarding the DIN for car audio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7736

IMO, it is somewhat impossible for the GLX to have the rear power window. probably due to the additional wiring, space and labor to have it installed. I don't think MMPC has the parts readily available for this kind of pursuit and i havent heard of anyone to date who did something like this- but i could be wrong though... Nonetheless, irregardless of getting either the GLS or GLX, it is still a good investment.

as far as installing LCD screens at the headrest, yup, i know how you feel since my nieces at one time Laughed Out Loud to the antics of Mr. Bean behind my ear while i was driving... I think leading car shops have installed an LCD screen- Fellow Strada Club Member Bobcas was able to have this done (i forgot how much it was and where it was installed) but leading car shops can have the LCD strapped to a pre-existing headraistrant... just be aware of cutting a big hole on the seat cover though...

lets wait for sir av8or5 as well as the others for their response... HTH.

im still searching for that... but when i saw the OEM rear power window of Brand N, ang liit! it lacks width! The Strada is probably twice the size!
