Hey I have a 1996 Lancer GLXi which I am thinking of selling to boost my cash to get my skyline would you be interested? i'm only looking for like 3.5 (just had service, new tyres + whhel alignment and rego) it drives great so my close friends who have driven it say (one is a mechanic apprentice) but i'm looking to start my skyline project and yeha won't need the second car... I know it's none of the ones you mentioned above but it could be a cheaper car until you find something suitable so you have a car in the mean time.

let me know if it's a possibility so I can borrow the company hi-res camera and take some pics for ya.

I live in south Australia, if I wanted to bring the car back here would it have to undergo any sort of inspection on change of state and/or would it pass these tests? (not a problem just things to be prepared for as most mods I put on it will be illegal)

Hi,

Just to let you know I currently drive a red series 1 Mitsubishi 380 VRX as a work/Hire car.

Trying to sell it as we speak... and trade up to an R34

Iv never had a problem with it, however it eats fuel and has huge traction control issues due to it being front wheel drive.

Another issue about the 380 is its size, its near imposable to reverse park and parallel park even with parking sensors . The car also auto tunes the gear ratios as to your driving style, which is a good thing if you travel long distances but for city driving it can get very sluggish and unresponsive.

The car cost 36K because I had the sports suspension fitted and a sun roof installed however now 2 years later its only worth 22K.

On the upside the car is smooth to drive and will do 0-100 in 6.8 seconds + sounds great.

Anyway good luck with the sale

Mike

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
