/mitsu/ - Mitsubishi General

malaysian here.
they do swap the entire bumper.

we had a surprisingly good buddy cop movie based on ricing the car. Except it's an Evo, not a bloody Proton

wrong pic, that's a 350z. THIS is the ricer

What's a good site to import oem parts for my Evo 1? Pic related, but green.

Don't do this, stop.

>tfw when you're too poor to own this in the near future ;_;

Here's my week-old (to me) pigfat 4g. I am still in love with it. Thinking about lowering it an inch and a half just to kill the wheel gap. Other than that i plan on leaving it completely stock until something needs replaced. First thing to go will probably be replacing the rotors and calipers once it comes time to do the brakes on it. If i come across a deal on some more attractive wheels I might do that as well.

Sup kntsss

I have to agree.
Its nice to have a mitsu thread from time to time but not a freaking general. It attracts the worst people and turns into a shitty circlejerk eventually.

Honest question here.

What can be done to raise Mitsubishi?

These are pretty good.

le Mitsubishi is a single company meme

>mfw I currently own loads of mitsubishis

Talk me out of buying a manual SWB Shogun (Pajero, Monetero) 2.8 turbodiesel with 279,000 miles for £900

>279,000 miles
Good luck with that.

Seriously jelly of that, tbqh.

>Despite its naming and the near identical logomarks, Mitsubishi Pencil Company is unrelated to the Mitsubishi Group, and has never been a part of their zaibatsu.

Why would I? If you don't off road then don't bother, though.

Name of the movie?

I just got one for under 2500

Anyone have thoughts on the 02-03 Galants? I saw one for the first time today and really liked the look of it.

As long as it's not getting much in the way of blowby, and the timing chain isn't sounding like a sewing machine, it's got a lob of miles left in it yet. Just fit a catch can and delete the EGR if it hasn't already.
Those 4M4x diesels are tough.

Nah there are just barely any. If a listing appears its either stupid pricey, beat to heck, or with a ton of miles. Some fucking shit dealer was selling an 02 with 190k miles for $5000. Like, what?

In was actually going to buy one from this dude who was leaving the country at a low price but then he said on the day before I went to go look at the car: "sold sorry man"

Sexy

Hot

Shit

my car :v

Nice, 84? I dig the really early ones with the big insignia in the grille.

Fuck you

first for space wagon and pajero a shit

genuinely jealous m8

>first for space wagon and pajero the shit*
Fixed ;)

Fun to drive
Agonizing hell to reassemble

ok the seats are good but the suspension is too soft and the engines prone to irredeemable failure

>tfw no Evo-converted CE series Mirage coupe

...

...

Suspension's suited for the application, and if you're ruining engines, that's your own fault.

I hate my 2005 Lancer. 150k, clutch slipping, not quite loved as much as it should have been by older brother. Someone tell me it will die soon so I don't feel bad not putting more money into it.

Should post the build thread

I wish i was any good at engineering, the dude did this entire thing for less than the cost of a half decent TME

>and if you're ruining engines, that's your own fault.
tell that to a Datsun sunny or hillman imp owner

am I allowed in this thread if I have a new and non riced mitsu?

No one appreciates Ralliarts

>the suspension is too soft
Uh, not it isn't. It's quite stiff, in fact.
>engines prone to irredeemable failure
The 4D56T has issues if you neglect it, but all the other engines have no issues.

What should I do to my 4D56 to prevent failure?

You don't want it to overheat so that you don't crack the head. Keep the cooling system in good condition and you won't have a problem unless you're racing it in the Sahara.

>how fucked I feel building an NA 6g72 for track racing. Cams from RPW are almost a grand

>mirage is actually a nice dd, and the 3a92 has a nice little rumble
>also turning off traction control in the dirt is fun

Anyone hoping we'll get a gtr/evo or starion/Silvia platform now that Nissan is calling the shots?

Oh, I guess I have nothing to fear then.

These make my dick diamonds. I'd love to get a 2000 de and make a 2dr evo 4.5
I almost bought the front fascia/headlamps/fog lamps/fenders from a shop north of me for like $350

>ralliart
interresting, didn't know they made one of the third gen
unfortunately the ad doesn't state what engine it has

Polis Evo

one of the best looking cars ever made... but you can get them for $7-8k in good condition. the real killer is the god damn maintenance. Might as well save that money and get an evo.

Oh great another fucking circlejerk, just what this board needed

How are those things on fuel and reliability?

They're extremely reliable, but not the most economical. I think 23mpg US is all you'd get out of it.

It's considered one of the most reliable SUVs here because it's really oldschool, no fancy 9 speed gearboxes and fiddly canbus blocks everywhere. It's got a few issues I know of:
- the 178hp engine is turbo-ed somewhat beyond what the ancient block is capable of (but if you service it in time and don't go all Takumi on it, it's no worse than any other, and if you're feeling particularly paranoid, you can reportedly reprogram the ECU with 136hp firmware from L200)
- coil springs start to sag after several years (but are easy to replace with a better kit from OME or w/e)
- paint quality is meh (in a shitty climate the rear hatch can start to rust after just a couple years)
- the serial number on the underframe is easily damaged by gravel and corroded.
But since everything is oldschool, fuel economy is kinda meh, 19-20 mpg city, 23-25 mpg highway even with very calm driving. There's also a V6 petrol version that's a complete pig at like 12 mpg - I have no idea who buys that (especially since you get slightly more hp but noticeably less torque).

Also, the clocks on the dash and in the entertainment system are separate and diverge by about a minute per month. What the flying fuck, Mitsubishi?

They are separate modules. Clock on the mainboard of the infotainment system while the dash clock is self contained. It's a holdover from before the infotainment system existed.

I figured that, but I don't get why they put a separate clock in the infotainment system. It doesn't need time for any of its functions, and even if it did, it should've been able to get system time over canbus.

(The "infotainment" system is a fucking embarrassment in general. It can't do anything but play FM radio and MP3. In top level trim, there's another model with Windows 3.1 tier """"navigation"""", but it removes the center dash display with mpg counter, thermometer and compass - what the flying fuck, Mitsubishi?)

>I don't get why they put a separate clock in the infotainment system.
I'm going to guess that it's a fully off the shelf system. They probably didn't want to do any development for such an old model. From what I hear the newer systems are a vast improvement.

There's an offer in my neighborhood for a 2008 Eclipse.
Non-smoker, 1 owner car, leather, Rockford Fosgate stereo, sunroof, and spoiler. New brakes and starter, frequent oil changes. Only catch is it has 244,000 miles on it, but most of that is claimed to be highway cruising.
I did a basic walk-around and there were no dents, dings or scuffs and no rust that I could see without putting the thing on a lift. The interior also looks very clean.
Asking price is $2300. Should I?

Plastidip'd the front of my Eclipse today. There's some edges that could be cleaner but it's the first time I did anything other than wheels.

Yes.

Mitsu isn't continuing with developing the Lancer, right? So we'll probably see the Pulsar rebadged in the future. At best it'll live on as some sort of tuned up Pulsar, possibly sold as the Evo and with a "new" GTi-R trim to accompany it.

Are they not making a new Eclipse for 2017?
Is it not coming to American markets?

MOUTH

Eclipse is dead, Evo is dead.

One Piece isn't real and proper pirates rape and pillage. The dream is dead.

not gonna google around for source, but from what i rmember of the conference when they retired the lancer, they said it would be completely retired and if there would be another performancy car it would be atleast hybrid if not fully electric

next thing you're gonna tell me nips don't actually have huge eyes and rainbow coloured hair

>mfw Mitsubishi's first turbo was a on a truck. Still didn't break 90hp

>less than the cost of a half decent TME

You must be australian. TMEs aren't exoensive

>Only if you stuck to the ridiculous maintenance schedule.

It is literally a race car for the street, at least the older ones. People who don't keep up with the servicing on Evos are retarded

Had an Evo 5 and never had an issue with it
Had an Airtrek Turbo R and the only thing gone wrong was an O2 sensor
Had a Galant VR4, no issues with it either

Aren't you still at sea?

...because it was a diesel.

Also that 4D55T murdered a 959 in the Dakar so kek.

While I always thought they were nothing but money pits, I looved the style of the Conquest/Starions.

Came with the 4G63T. Wouldn't this thing basically be a FR Evo?

There have been so many different versions of the 4g63, I can't even begin to describe why that's not really how it works.

It doesn't handle great, just an 80s FR car handling, so understeer everywhere and oversteer only when you really try to.

Yea the 2.0 was in the Evo, but I thought in the US they were only offered with the 2.6. Could be wrong though.

I actually took the whole interior out, put a shit ton of insulation and got a new carpet to put back. Its not that bad actually.

You will survive user.

Fuck, wrong picture. This is the not blurry version.

>Came with the 4G63T.
Not in America and that 4G63 isn't the same as the Evo's one.

Bump

Gonna plastidip my wheels today. Will post results.

...

What color user, also. Pics before the plastidip?

youtube.com/watch?v=rZ_0voOSdL8

the evo 9 looks soooooooo much better than the suv tall 10
i cant get over how much the fucked up the style

Just Black. If I redo it I might do gun metal gray, I don't know how that will look with the silver body

>prep and before pic

>during spray, like three coats in.

I did four-ish coats on each wheel with some touch up sprays to get trouble spots. Four 17" wheels took two cans of spray.

got my echeck fail, now im going to have a high flow cat installed

really hope you're not plastidipping center cap shut to the rim.

>Finished project.

Turned out nice. Was hella easy to do. Didn't even have to take the wheels off. And it cost me like $10 in material.

I really gotta lower this car though. The Eibach ProKit lowers it like 1.6“ and 1.5“ in the back and the front respectively. I think that should kill the wheel gap enough for me to be happy with it as well as keep the daily driveability ground clearance.
