New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[vladrosssantos]

100k, i hope ako may anyan budget hehe, personal opinion ko lng ha. fenders,lights(HID?)TT-(if you dont mind voiding your warranty. tapos rims syempre but i prefer performance rims di yung chrome at ma bling2(personal preference ko lng yun. may nakita ako rays engring na rims 12k per piece dito sa cebu w/o rubber yan. or you can also try fitting mitsu fieldmaster's rims yung ralliart i think 4-6k per piece yun order mo sa mitsu(pls correct me if im wrong )
tapos sportslid.

hehe pero syempre di ko din sasagarin ya gusto ko nga ng fenders...i prefer siguro yung roller-up kasi naisip ko pag sports lid medyo limitado din makakarga sa likod tama b? pagdating naman sa tires...nakakita nga ako ng rays ganda nga kaso di ko naman sigurado kung magkano aabutin with the tires hehehe...kya option ko din yung stock nalang na mags nung glx ko then palit nalang ako ng mas maganda na tires...balak ko din palagay ng turbo timer

[vladrosssantos]

meron ba may alam kung magkano rays na mags with tires? o kaya yung ralliart? if may makakasuggest kung san shop sa banawe na mas ok pricing dun ako kukuha ok lang din ba kasi option ko din yung retain nalang yung orig. mags nung glx then palit nalang ako ng tires...if ever nu ba ok na goma?

Up ko lang. For the newcomers sa thread na ito who are interested in seeing other modifications in the strada, I suggest that you go visit also the TSCP Strada Modification thread under the The Strada Club Section of Tsikot.com. There are tons of information there about actual strada modifications with lots of images. You ask questions and also share your images of your modifications. Konti pa lang pages kaya hindi tedious to view all the posts.

Good day po mga sir, bothered lang po ako sa FC ng unit ko kc kung accurate po ang reading sa odo ang difference po ng trip e 7 does this mean that i am getting 7L/km? sabi kc nung sa SA is 1:18 . nasa break in period pa lang po sya.

ano pong MID sir? at paano mag reset ng odometer.

Sorry, ano po pala unit nyo sir? I was referring to the display sa center ng front panel (above controls ng aircon). Sa gls/gls sport variant lang yata meron nito. Di ko kasi naintindihan yung re: sa reading sa odo.

sa akin naman FC ko almost 200km highway driving nasa 11km/liter ngayon odo ko 3500km, pero nung time kakukuha ko lang ng unit ko nag 12km/liter pa ako after ng 1000km periodic maintenance ko nag 11km/liter nalang ako. My unit is 3.2L manual, me prob ba unit ko? yung driving ko the same pa rin average 80-100kmh.. same routine Davao-Tacurong yung highway driving ko weekly ako nag tratravel.. once na try ko parati 150-170kmh takbo ko my FC is 8.9km/L.

As mentioned by Av8or5, almost everybody has a 'better' fuel consumption during the initial 1K. Logical explanation here is that, everybody is on 'break-in' period, whereby, we keep our speed less than 100kph or 80kph, which is the most fuel economical speed.

hi guys whats up? It's good to be back, just to inform you that finally we got the white 3.2 gls m/t just today. though i haven't yet tested it since i'm still here in abroad, i spoke to my brother of what he can say about it, we used to own the 2003 model and it was not easy for the family to let it go but we thought it's time to say goodbye and welcome the new breed of it's own.

here's his obs:

1. it goes like a rocket, napaka sensitive daw ng accelerator, konting apak sulpot na agad.
2. 110kph marks only at 2000rpm, almost effortless.
3. the ride is exceptional, it's like a dream.
4. engine is very quite it's almost like a gas daw.


we got it with 60 thou discount, plus the typicaL freebies.

will post pics soon, thanks to all strada owners who really inspired us to make the right decision..again!,. More power to TSIKOT!

just few things to clarify though since we are not familiar with it's engine, sabi daw kasi ng mekaniko don na no need na daw i tune up yong engine kasi kumbaga self winding daw ito? is this for real?

sabi din ng brother ko wala daw remember instruction like the 2.5 variants na i idle muna engine from a high speed to cool down turbocharger, (normally placed by the door on the driver side) does it mean exempted ang 3.2 with this?

thanks a lot, can't wait to come home in 3 months time!!!!

its really on what you need. major difference lang is bigger engine w/ higher torque. Dadz is right on what he previously posted.



there is really no advantage or disadvantage of either variant. again it depends on the purpose of the customer. the best thing is to get a copy of the brochure and compare the two variant. but if tamad ka magbasa, the difference from gl to glx are the following:

chrome garnish on door handles
center panel dash above the aircon controls have a lid
dual airbags
mag rims 16x6 instead of old reg steel rims
rear bumper
rear third brake light
bed liner
step board
front fog lamps
alarm

some people want to dress their ride the way they want and they can get some of the accessories i stated above at a cheaper price. but for me, the difference in cost cannot substitute the dual airbags and orig front fog lamps and switch.

same engine, same braking system

Sir av8or5 thanks a lot, really helped me sa decision making.. Pasensya na medyo late tong pasasalamat ko, medyo busy lang...really enjoy reading this forum ambabait ng mga tao rito...mabuhay kayong lahat!!!

Congrats bro. We got the same variant. Dito rin sa thread na ito ako na-convince to go for the Strada. No regrets up to now. I'm sure di ka na makakatulog ng maayos nyan.
Re: the engine, just follow the periodic maintenance schedule stated on the manual. Medyo malabo yung comment nung mekaniko. Some of us opted to install a turbo timer for proper cooling down of turbo whether 2.5 or 3.2. For me, human turbo timer gamit ko. Pa-relax relax muna bago turn off engine. Mahirap lang sa expressway tapos titigil ka sa gas station. Kaya ginagawa ko, park muna sa gilid for a few minutes bago magpa-gas.

ok naman maging human turbo timer , pero minsan nakakalimutan ko mag cooldown. Magpapa install na rin ako ng TT kasi minsan makalimutin na. hehehe



* wulf_geo - di ko po dadalhin Strada ko hehehe, maybe one day..
