thanks a lot sir!

though im from cebu, im more than willing to fly to marikina if they still have the color i want..

but on the 2nd thought, i heard that the 2010 facelifted strada in coming real soon (maybe last quarter of 2009..? i hope..) then im willing to wait for another 2-3 months..








thanks a lot sir.. pm me your mobile number and i will contact you..

pmed you na sir.

[tancho_kuhaku]

copy that, thanks sir ooba!




thanks sir tancho, sige will take you up on that in case the other cebu project pushes through.

yikes, mas mahirap pala maintain ang black? kasi during weekends i usually stay at my shagpad in laguna, but i don't have a garage there so i have to park outside. come monday, my ride usually looks like it either came from a tour of duty in iraq, OR a dip in shrek's swamp, depending on the weekend weather.

so any tips on how to maintain my future black beauty?

was considering getting a car cover but the nearby neighborhood's kinda rough, baka maging bubong lang ng squatter shantee. unless i get a car cover with a lock provision, which i can't find anywhere. kakatakot din yata magasgasan ang paint pag laging tanggal-lagay-tanggal ng cover.

anyway, any maintenance tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

tips? uhhh... in my opinion i wash away the alikabok/dirt with water using my hands para walang scratches, after that i use chamois and/or flanela cloth(correct spelling po ba?) to make it dry. and tip ko rin is wash it by portion (like una sa top going down and left door to back) i also wax once every 1-2 months using yung 3m wax sa sachets. pag 1st week my ang my helper, tinuruan ko but ngayon sila nalang.

better ask some experts sa detailing and some members for sure makintab yung mga rides nila. wala kasing ok na detailing shop dito(sa opinion ko lng) sa cebu. so sometimes after 6 months nagpapa all around buff ako sa kilala ko para tangal minor scratches.

and also dont worry mas rugged and mas macho din tingnan yung marumi strada natin sabi nga sa iba parang battle scars or wounds.

HTH

just wanna share with you kamalasan ko last and this week.

last week hit and run and some crazy guy also made a cut sa front right tire ko.


and timing na that tire may warranty issue of very small cracking in some parts. hoping mitsu will not think na i did it on purpose for warranty claim malas talaga. then, i changed to my spare tire para ill leave my warranty issue na tire sa casa then, while running some errands for my dad sa province sa cebu may under construction na road na baha malas lang talaga ako na may kabilia(steel iron) pala sa baha, ayun na rip off tuloy yung spare tire ko na new! i was just using 1st gear pa naman kasi very bumpy yung road. and of all the other cars/motorcycle tricycle in the heavy traffic ako pa natamaan, sabi lang sa worker na im the 3rd one na daw for the week 2 taxis and ako. wala pa naman sila sign or anything, in short they dont care.



dont know why minamalas ako this and last week.
wala naman akong napapgalit na tao that resulted to him/her making fun of my tire.so kaya ingat sa pag drive mga fellow BOSBs.

i think i should get a new set nof tires nalang talaga. im thinking of getting a yoko geolander a/t. ill do some canvassing this afternoon, kasi pag inquire ko sabi daw 5k per tire daw yung bridgestone h/t dueler na stock sa GLX.

hmmm..... i smell GROWTH in your area Sir Tancho_Kuhaku! I'm positive that Cebu will increase in number!

as for your tire incident, oh well, life goes on... My Space Wagon took the beating by vandalizers who smashed a side window up here in Baguio and my Spare Tire gone in 60 seconds in front of my tita's house in Cubao, QC on broad day light... Just remember to keep an eye on your truck before leaving it and i'm sure everything will be just fine...

WAW! click on the link to find out more, if priced reasonable and if it looked better for the Global Market, this would surely be a best seller!

ask ko lang mga sirs BOSBs if anyone with 3.2 engine having rust build up doon sa may turbo is this normal,cover kaya ng warranty?btw this from my Monty almost 10 months na siya


RUSTY PARTS

[dadz]

sir the rust is normal dito sa amin kasi they stock the trucks in an open air in the pier before sendding it abroad that is why me mga rust lalo na sa turbo hehehehehe same with me para mawala tinapalan ko nag mud every time na nag off road kami hindi na ako nag papa engine wash para hindi ko na makita ang rust hehehehehehehehe.

[Idoy]

Mine has rusts too but minimal. Like dadz said, dahil nga naka stock yan sa pier sa Thailand kaya kinalawang.

Ask your SA if they can remedy it. If not, go to any hardware shops and buy a rust remover. Easy to do.

sir dadz & sir idoy thanks sa advice, frustrating kasi linis ka ng engine then kita mo kalawang hay naku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boz]

[SIZE=3]Upgrade to the DiD engine? ditching the solenoid injectors and adopting piezoelectric injectors to finally silence the current DiD's clatter or just improve the cabin insulation para wala ng ingay.[/SIZE]

and for the engine's noise management I think the mechanical terms that you have mentioned kinda sounds Volvoish and Merchish, so I think we just need to settle for that improved cabin insulation because for sure the price would go near to that Volvoish and Merchish Sound also when those kind of injectors were installed to the 4m41.

Another option is to upgrade ECU... Yung engine ng Triton ni Dadz is a lot quieter than our 3.2 version, and faster! Hayop sa acceleration.
Bro dadz, thanks for the meet up. Naisip ko lang kanina na gawin ko rin yung mag-inom habang pinagmamasdan yung truck ko para makaisip ng modifications. hehe. Ganda talaga ng truck mo! Salamat bro.

Hi Doc Boz, you went to Thailand po?

regarding the rust issue on some parts, i think these are thick metal parts that shows rust on the surface but actually solid. no need to panic for them and by the looks of it, it is not bolted on to the engine wall on painted surface.

Hi,

Noted the light film of rust in adjacent to turbo area, same as mine, what i did is applied thin coating of used oil & when engine is runing, the thin used oil film is coating the rusted area ,in that way it prevents the progress of rust to deep pitting, yun lang, It is not a good idea to apply rust arrestor like turpo or other brand it is highly corrosive.

thanks sir RTS i think im gonna do the way you did

[locoroco777]

thanks sir RTS i think im gonna do the way you did

another thing that you could do sir is that rub it with fine sand paper to remove the rust and then put some grease afterwards

Nanggaling ka pala ng thailand di ka lang nagsasabi! Ipapa-hand-carry ko pa naman sa yo yung i-order ko kay sir dadz na mga bash plates at snorkel!

Ngayon mo lang pala naisip uminom habang pinagmamasdan ang strada? Kaya nga weekly ang mini-eb ng club para maraming maisip na modifications para sa truck natin e hehe

hey guys, first time poster.

i've been looking for a site where i could express my feelings to people who have the same feeling as i do towards the Strada, and thankfully, i ended up here.

i have a question,
is there a 2009 Strada coming out this year? or any later model aside from what's on the market now?
i'm really sold on the Strada, and i've been hungry to buy a Strada since early this year, but i've been waiting for the latest one. Any ideas guys?

thanks in advance!

just to share the little info i have procured while shopping around:

according to citimotors, yung next batch is already here, i guess they're just disposing of all the old stock first. so if you order from there, i guess you'll get the newer model already.

with regards to specs, very minor facelift lang daw, i.e. chrome grilles, HU upgrade (for the GLS) etc. when i asked if the cargo bed would be straigher or bigger, hindi pa daw, so i guess walang structural modifications.

with discounts , slight price increase lang, in the vicinity of 3k-5k daw.

<btw, as of yesterday, diamond motors hasn't even gotten the memo for the new batch yet (well, at least MY s.a. hasn't confirmed it yet heheh).>

but sa OZ, mitsubishi has officially announced the new triton (longer bed, smaller but more powerful engine, straight and more spacious cargo bed, etc) , it's arriving in septembah:

****droooooooool****

dunno when or if that's ever coming here though. *sigh*
