New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

Latest update on my squeaky leaf springs:

It seems that the squeaky noise of my Strada's leaf springs already stopped after spraying a good doze of WD-40. Drove my car on rough road yesterday and drove it over humps this morning and I am happy to say that the leaf springs no longer has this squeaking sound.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

It took me quite some time to choose my next ride. I was actually going to go for the Isuzu Global D-Max (I even posted a couple of times in the Tsikot thread for that vehicle), then I stumbled across the Euro NCAP results for this year's Strada, Navara, and D-Max (in this thread). Medyo natakot ako sa low scores ng D-Max at Navara.

The last nail to the coffin was the fact that price-wise, I felt Mitsubishi had a better feature/spec package for their pick-up compared to the other brands. Kahit top of the line model nilang GLS Sport, mas sulit ang value compared to the others.

I'm even learning the quirks of my future vehicle without having it pa, thanks to this forum. I'll make sure to have the leaf springs outfitted with those silencers before I take it back to Bohol with me.

I'm buying sa main branch ng Fast Autoworld sa Cebu. Yeah, I know meron silang branch sa Tagbilaran city, but I want to shop around for accessories in Cebu kasi mas malaki ang selection at mas mababa ang mga presyo. Plus, sobrang hawt yung sales executive nila sa main branch, si Mae.

ThePatriarch, I'd be glad to join the club! I'll contact egaysky when I have my ride na (enge mobile phone number niya pala

).

JJCarEnthusiast, I love that thingy that Triton Panther has on its back... overider pala ang tawag niyan. I wonder if merong binebentang ganyan dito sa atin. I want!

Hi guys!

I'm quite new here. Do you guys know the difference between the 2.5 GL (priced at 830k) vs the 2.5 GLX (priced at 890k)?

Is anyone selling their stock rims and for how much?
