94 Mitsubish Lancer GSR Turbo ---- a weapon, even stock

I think I may have started a tad before one or two of you, being an old git.

Learned to drive in an RAF Landrover on a gliding field - lots of muck and towing.

1965 Mini Countryman (the wagon without the wood) - bought it for 80 quid. My brother stuck it through a fence.

1969 Mini van - great fun for 85 quid. Managed to get 9 people in it on several occasions between pubs in Cheshire, UK.

1973 Vauxhall Firenza 2.3 Sport SL (with 7 dial dash & go fast bits - rare & good fun). Fantastic fun in the snow and ice!

1978 Datsun 260Z - great fun on winding roads. Rusted to death.

Then heaps of company cars in UK, mostly Vauxhall Cavaliers, but included brief periods with a Renault 20, Range Rover, Jag XJ6, Rover 3.5 V8 SD1, VW Passat wagon.

1988 Suzuki Vitara soft top - first car in Oz (other than company car) - great fun on the beach. Kids loved it. Kept it for ten years!1997 R33 GTST - current toy. Definitely satisfying the mid-life crisis - hence the name!

Most fun time in a car ever (apart from the back seat!) was in an Austin Healey Sprite Mk 1 - the Frogeye. Now one of those with a turbo motor would be interesting .......... !!

Oh yeah - first company car in Oz was a 1992 Pintara T hatchback. The only manual in WA, according to the dealer. Unfortunately, the "T" didnt stand for turbo - not sure what it stood for ..... But it was a good car, kept the family happy and away from Commodores for 5 years.

Didn't realise at the time that the Pintara was related to the Skyline.

I think the T was for Ti, possibly the 'i' was missing?

me:

mum's 1983 ford meteor pizza hut delivery come rally car. handbrake bizzniss. Severley wounded by head gasket, then died after attack from drunken Saab. I still have your hubcap, buddy!

1984 nissan R30 2.4E hatch. still got it. took me through the end of uni. anyone want a cheap bunky daily driver? anyone know a p-plater? going cheap!!

now: 33 gts-t. a slow one. but at least it has tunes and flash rims.

future: I dunno... FD or Maserati? or an R.

'97 Lancer MR in 1998 was my first car. Major doof. 141dB at Autosalon 2001. In its half finished state:

lancer_boot125_3.jpg (More pics here).

Was planning on selling it to buy a R32 when some low life took it upon themselves to steal it, thrash it, crash it and lighten it of its stereo. So being without a car and having no luck finding a decent R32 (market was dry in late 2001/early 2002), I was forced to buy a...

...'93 R33 25t. My second car, still going strong and no doof this time.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
