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....

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?

      Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.
