It is but Normal for water splashing on your windshield when driving carelessly fast on a bulk of standing water. Just slow down before hitting those waters.

I KNOW THAT THE CURRENT STRADA MODELS ARE NOW ASSEMBLED IN THAILAND AND W/ A VERY POOR QUALITY CONTROL I SHOULD FRANKLY SAY..SAAN BA ANG GEN 2 ASSEMBLED I THINK THAILAND DN!..AM I RIGHT? BUT Y IT DIDN'T GIVE THAT KIND OF PROBLEM(GEN 3) THAT SEEMS TO BE CONSIDERED A LEMON CAR IF WE IN THE PHILS. DO HAVE THAT LAW APPROVED? GOOD I WAITED A LITTLE BIT OR ELSE I BOUGHT THIS CRAP VEHICLE! I STRONGLY SUGGEST BUYERS THAT HAVE THE INTENT TO BUY PLS HOLD UNTIL PROBLEMS SOLVED!!! AND THAT WAY MITSUBISHI WILL DO SOMETHING ASAP.. I AM A MITSUBISHI AND TOYOTA ENTHUSIAST BUT I ALWAYS SAY NOT ALL MODELS THEY MANUFACTURED ARE GOOD QUALITY! TIPS IN BUYING NEW CARS WAIT UNTIL THE NEW MODEL CAR HITS 50T MILES THEN CONSIDER REVIEWS! MILLION pesos IS NOT THAT EASY TO FIND. NO OFFENSE.

My rig doesnt possess these problems or yet to produce these problems.

Thank you very much Sir ooba99! Meron naman dito, Fast Autoworld has a branch in Tagbilaran City. I'll remember the thing about the tire pressure sensors being in the "pito".

Sir Shizen, "SAF" simply means SAFE, that is, all your tires including the reserve is in the allowable pressure state.

There is nothing much to it except that it reports that tire pressure status and temperature of your tires upon start up and continuously monitors it while being driven. It will sound off if there is a rapid decrease in pressure, with the monitor indicating which tire is affected.

The sensor is located at the "pito" and remotely (wirelessly) connected to the monitor. Remember that the orientation of the sensors are specific and you just cannot rotate your tires by yourself without you adjusting the monitor. When doing a rotation, it will be best that you have it done at the casa (may casa ba sa Bohol?). They know what to do, I suppose. Paturo ka na rin sa casa how to do it, in case you have to DIY the tire rotation. Or probably a knowledgeable strada owner here can share how to do it.

I remember I have a TPMS manual, but I can't seem to locate it now. Sa mga club members na merong manual ng TPMS, baka pwedeng ma-scan at ma-upload ang file copy sa strada club yahoo group. TIA.

sir astec, about that bike rack where did you got that sir? and how much kaya sir? salamat....

Friendly, ha?

Remember, I spent my childhood days there, I'm also a Cotabateño.

Of course, there is no substitute to being extra careful under that situation. And as sir siomai said, simply use your windshield wiper.

Now, back to the thread....

hahaha no probs sir. hope to see you here... We'll i hope to see you around sir

how i wish we could invite those politicians with their strada

, as far i'm concern there's a group of strada owners who gather together in a certain place here.... but i'm not interested.. you knew what i mean and i only use my strada during out of town trips..

ive ridden on both, but haven't driven the 4x4. so far my observations are, i dont see a big difference. only that you have the option to have 4x4. the ride seems to be the same, stance are almost the same, handling are almost the same...what i meant was.if you put the same tires on glx as with gls same handling..fuel..would be + on glx less weight..power + on glx less weight.

if i look at the specs on the brochure..its practically the same components.

Hello to everybody.

I would like to ask queries about water/alcohol injection kits.

Anybody from the strada owners here experience installing one on your ride. If ever did your fuel consumption change.
How about my engine warranty? Is it became void after I install it.

Thank you in advance for your answer and clarification.

one member has...please check the strada modification thread. anything you install on your vehicle that wasnt there originally will void your warranty...yan po ang rule of thumb.

*auroraoffroaders
P5T from Thule located in Ortigas ave. Thinking of selling it na nga kasi medyo mahirap nga lang itaas yung bike ng mag-isa pero siguro hindi lang ako sanay, sanayan lang.
