r33's have a good interior everything is simple and where it should be,

i must say for a jap coupe they are very roomy. even the back seats have a decent amount of room and im 6'1

edit: i also think we need an entire new set of jap cars with new names. like this thing, i reckon its pretty cool

i dont think its that bad a thing to expand and concentrate on the sti like mitsi have done with the evos

Mitsubishi are coming out with an Evo IX replacement (EVO X) with an all new engine and body design A N D a Lancer GSR (baby evo with the old 4G63) for the world market - it was to compete with the WRX throughout the world

Now Mitsubishi will have a nice market all to itself if Subaru don't bring out a WRX - which I find hard to believe

if they could add some strength to the cogbox they would be frign awsome. go back to forged internals on the sti and you could have a real winner. just add 2 cylenders, take it to 3 lt capacity and you would have one hela street machine... they already have a 3.0 ltr flat 6, why not do the r & d for a turbo variant....

gorgous !

I'm trying to work out what the marketing logic is. Maybe they want to drop the price of the Liberty GT, but don't want the "premium" turbo sedan to undercut the WRX? Dunno, grasping at straws here...

Inside they are pretty cheap and nasty.

I recently sat in a Proton Gen2. The interior of that car has redefined cheap and nasty in my books.

The WRX was a flop in japan, the legacy is a far more impressive car and priced very close to the wrx in their home market.... boy racer cars have got a fairly strong "geek" stigma about them over the past few years hence poor jdm sales, the legacy though has been a great success and the amount of variants they get it suits most buyers except the very few who bought wrx's.

this "geek" stigma is starting to wory even the big aftermarket companies like BLITZ and TRUST etc... being a geek is not good for sales....

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
