hey all, any got info on these? J-spec saying that is landed and complied price but sevs etc seem to have no record of them? can they come in?

u there chef:)

[Iron Chef]

Yes I am, I know of one workshop who expects to have them through pretty soon, but I'm not sure they're going to be sharing with us brokers for a little while...

[PRIMO]

there are 2 in Australia that i am aware of as i purchased one already for test Vehicle.

[MattR]

they seem cheap for 12K alot cheaper than evo 7 GTA. i wasnt sure if there would be enough differances from our outlander for them to qualify

Hi MattR, Chef and Primo,

Thom here form Japan Imports, I am looking at our Airtrek as we speak. Sitting quietly in the back of the shed. We are still about 3 months away from having the evidence package completed. Not long to go now. It does drive well and looks heaps better than the Aussie Outlander even in big stock form.

Don't call me Mr.Scorpion. It's Mr.Scorpi*o*, but don't call me that either. Call me Hank!

No manual version? An auto would make a decent enough daily but I suppose if not a manual conversion wouldn't be too hard.

[Iron Chef]

Box is the same one in the Evo 7 GTA and Galant/Legnum VR-4, correct me if I'm wrong. I doubt a conversion to manual would be too hard either.

[Hank Scorpio]

As far as auto boxes go the VR-4/Evo auto is a good bit of kit.

[Iron Chef]

They are indeed, just invest in a trans cooler

Just wondering, is there any word in regards to compliance coming through?

One website is listing them for approx $10,000AUD Landed and Complied (minus tyres and normal registration costs), however another website is listing one for just under $20,000.

That's a huge difference, and would like to know which is the more realistic price, and if compliance is available yet.

Resurrection Time...

JapLink Motors - now JLM - has successfully been able to comply the Mitsubishi Airtrek.

Some other importers in Sydney have had trouble with getting "emissions" testing passed.

JLM does not keep stock. They will accept orders as I'm sure Iron Chef will too.

From the Lancer wagon thread. Best to ask JLM or Chef for a realistic price guide. I would guess compliance will not be as cheap as other vehicles but quality work costs.

[Howaitonaito]

From what I hear off many people the Evo GT-A boxes are a heap of shite. Planetary gearsets can move and in turn destroy your box. They're also hard to come by and therefore expensive not to mention the costs of having the box taken out and having it all replaced.

This is the one thing that put me off getting one. They are a hoot to drive. Quicker than their specs make out.

[JimmyRickard]

Has anyone driven one of these? Looks a fun daily.

[GTR-N1]

I drove one Jimmy about 16 months ago. It really is a lot of fun. If you don't need a wagon though, the EVO has taken a big depreciation hit throughout 2014. And the manual is the way to go.

Hey guys, so sorry to dig old post! But I am looking for a daily suv/4wd and quite interested at getting a Mitsubishi Airtrek.

Did anyone actually got themselves one of these? Would love to know any pros/cons or known issues!

Cheers
