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

in addition to what Doc ooba99 and thepatriarch said, the strada is not a perfect vehicle... that is very true! ...And that includes Mitsubishi as a brand!

========================
OT:
papa moxxxs- looking forward to seeing you at the Fun Run... i would like to talk to you about a possible "joint venture"... hehehehe

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

*docholiday, welcome po...
the 4M41 3.2 first came into existence in 1999 as an "enlarged" version of the 4M40 2.8 with the Gen 3 Pajero was modified to include the Common Rail Direct Injection later (with Variable Geometry Turbo for other markets). The Strada and Montero Sport and recepients of this engine also as mentioned by sir Dadz. Yes, i must say tried and tested ang 4M series engine- just like the 4D56. thanks. looking forward to your new truck po...

kudos to sir nismo26 for such a positive response . the strada is NOT a perfect vehicle, hence its quirks. but in almost a year of driving my strada and my observations with the other stradas owned by the club members, 99% of the usual complaints have been remedied and resolved.

change of topic naman.... last weekend, i saw the sturdiness of our stradas. one club member figured in an accident (no one was hurt, thank God for that) with another pick-up of the same year model (guess na lang kayo). yung strada front bumper lang ang tama, major gasgas lang and driveable pa, but yung isang pick-up laglag ang axle and naputol pa ang molye. it needed a tow truck to move the darn thing in order not to cause traffic. even the other pick-up driver commented that "ang tibay pala ng strada, dapat ganyan pala ang binili ko!"

pictures were taken... its up to the said club member if he wants to post them here, hehehe...

Mukhang kilala ko kung sino yun ha! hehe!

yan ang di ko pa alam kasi black yung glx ko... no need for a body paint on that part... pero just like any other parts... puede mo din yun ipa-body color... just make sure na maganda ang primer na gamitin para hindi mag-chip pagtagal

sir plan ko kasi magpalit ng gulong sa glx ko..if ever yung stock mags gagamitin ko, ano kaya yung ok na size ng tire para dito para mag mukhang malapad gulong? kaya ba yung 255/70R16? ok din ba kung sakali ralliart mags ikabit ko bagay ba yun?

Bro vladrosssanatos sa stock na mags until 265/70R16 pwede wag lag sosobra kasi ma compromise ang turnning radius mo. Yan ang advice sa amin dito nag casa.

well, my unit arrived. i didn't realize the 3.2L came with 6-spoke alloys. i remember seeing a 3.2L with a bit more complicated thin type spokes na parang mga tinidor yung style. it doesn't really matter as the truck came with 17in tires so... and it didn't seem to have an uneven height.

but i did have the sales guy return the thing because he had a hard time with the alarm system and said that the dealership will have to reprogram it in time for a 10am delivery tomorrow.

i got a black unit and i must say that it looks very elegant for a pickup truck. they also reinstalled the tint with a much lighter shade although i still found it a bit dark as compared to my mazda 3. not much i can do in that department as it was their lightest available.

i also told him to double check the ride height left and right to avoid anymore receiving hassles tomorrow.

i felt sorry for the guy as it was his second time to bring the unit to the office but we really have to be anal about these things while we still have a bit of consumer power left.

i hope the transition to driving a pickup won't be so aggravating as i've never driven anything other than a sedan in all my driving life.

excited as hell but nervous at the same time
