Right hand drive?
Because they cost of converting them isn't worth it? Because even the americans think they're lacklustre cars.

The same reason nobody imports any american car (<30 years).

Fair point, so you cant import one direct from Mitsubishi? with the wheel on the right side of the car :D

The way I see it,

the Eclipse GSX: AWD model equipped with a 210 hp (160 kW) turbocharged 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine was the only decent one.

The later models, I guess for what it is, was OK but not a fan of FWD.

Also, Iam not to sure how much it is to import one in but if the cost all add up with doing the Left hand to Right hand drive covnersion, I would happily go for an EVO IX or EVO X.

well considering left hand drive has become legal since what i have heard in the past few years....

im not sure.my dad owned a 59 corvette a few years back and he told me that there are alot of left hand drive cars out htere.

i looooooooooove the green eclipse from F&F. AWD turbo. very nice car. the one in 2F2F is gay. front wheel drive v6 ....just shit(alright on the vw vr6 but not a long ugly car)

and i dont know why they would make the 2nd main car in 2f2f another eclpise but newer model. it could have been something different...plenty of cars i could think of.....

There are many better all wheel drive turbo cars and they are in Aus and RHD....

But then again if you did get one it would be unique. I have never seen one on the road here, they arent for me but I can understand why someone might want one. But if you did get one would you do it up like the one on F&F? With the OTT spoilers, kit and vinlys?? :P

you can be safe in the knowledge that any crap they pump out this time around couldnt possibly be worse than 2F2F

Apparently its connecting to the first one again. It'll have Vin Diesel in it again. so yea, we'll see how its gonna turn out....

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
