Tnks. Also have GLS with the same mags and naliliitan ako sa stock tires. Malaki ba sir difference sa fuel consumption and nabawasan ba acceleration? Turning radius?

**gastromd** · April 21st, 2012 11:29 PM

Haven't computed FC yet. Medyo mabagal ng konti sa acceleration, pero malakas naman vgt eh... Just push d pedal and halos same n din ng stock. Hehe

O.T

First time to get a 'check engine' light on my almost 5yr old gls. Any pointers before I head off to the casa tomorrow.

TIA

Tank is mounted firmly using the 2 stock protruding #4 stud bolts from the firewall (just remove the mounted plastic cable fasteners). Drawback is slightly slanting yung position ng tank (pero atleast secure ang tank kahit ihataw sa rough roads). Additional items used were two 3/4 inch hose clamps (for tank end), three #4 slim head bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers (masikip if using the supplied #4 nuts and bolts; masyadong malaki ang ulo ng supplied bolts). Black hoses used is the stock 1-piece rubber hose cut in half for engine and intake end. The supplied 5/8 inch hose clamp was used to connect the stock rubber hose with the supplied barbed silicon hose (stiff kahit tight na ang hose clamp). Installation time is around 1 hour with some acrobatic moves around the engine bay during bolt tightening.

Update:

New oil catch tank position and mounting (sorry for the dirty engine):

The stock two #4 stud bolts gave in. Luckily there was a bit of metal sheet holding one stud bolt pero nakayuko na ang can. Muntik nang malaglag ang oil catch tank ko!

The stock stud bolts were just adhered to the thin metal sheet. Akala ko naka-bolt sa other side at makapal ang sheet kase firewall:

The new position and mounting, hopefully, will be durable enough for high-speed offroad runs. I used one stud bolt (upper left corner) of the plastic engine block cover and inverted it to secure the mounting bracket of the oil catch tank from below:

Oil catch tank height is just enough to clear the hood insulator and the can doesn't vibrate as much as I expected.

Hi mga Sir.

Got my GLX Strada 2 weeks ago. Have been back reading a bit and I want to join the club. Just can't seem to find details on the next EB schedules.

Wanna meet the gurus and get feedback on the usual Strada problems and solutions for the usual problems.

Also wanna see other owner's units. Thread palang parang ang sarap mag mods. Pano pa kung actual makita!

Hope to meet you guys soon!
