Reign is Over???

**jeanpierre** · January 25th, 2009 08:03 PM

Guys, maybe late na ako pero kababasa ko lang ng naging result ng katatapos na DAKAR ( Argentina - Chile ) and I was surprised na di nakapasok ang Mitsubishi sa Top 3 samantalang for how many years din nila dominated itong Dakar di ba? Kung hindi pala nahulog sa bangin si Carlos Saintz eh Top 3 position puro Volkswagen sana. Tinalo pa ng NISSAN using the NAVARA pick-up ang Mitsubishi dahil nakuha ng Nissan 4th and 5th place. Matibay din pala ang Nissan Navara kung ganon

The Lancer was a failure but I still support their drivers.

They drop the Pajero dahil siguro legend na ang Pajero sa Dakar and they are trying to promote their new model which is the Lancer. Pero di ba Lancer ay model ng kotse ng mitsu, don't tell me na gagamitin na name na Lancer sa SUV ng mitsu. Isang problema daw nag ooverheat DID engine ng mitsu.

OT:
currently, the only D-ID engined mitsus are the Pajero CK/BK, Current Strada and Montero Sport. After lurking around the posts and observing feedback from other owners and Strada Club Members, they never mentioned about any incident of overheating- even at the Merged Mitsubishi Strada, nor at the Montero Sport and Pajero Threads... *jeanpierre, please expound further po... many thanks.

Reign is Over? perhaps yes... for now. Mitsu can always turn back to the
Pajero if they want.

Baka ung mga no complain sa overheating are those on City Driving only.
Mind you, the Dakar Rally run for hours in the gruelling heat of the Desert.

Eh dito sa City Driving, ndi ka talaga mag overheat. Sa Traffic ba naman eh laging naka-Idle ung RPM mo. Dapat sa Long Distance Driving tapos High RPM magkakasubukan kung ndi nga talaga nag overheat ang DI-D.

this is Racing Lancer's first year pa naman sa rally. so i'm sure, there'd be adjustments/modifications to be made. success does not happen overnight.

furthermore, a racing lancer placed tenth. a triton/strada/l200 placed 7th. still, there are also pajero's/pajero evolution used by other teams.
