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.

2002 Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo-R engine engine type turbocharged petrol Engine manufacturer Mitsubishi Engine code 4G63 Turbo Cylinders Straight 4 Capacity 2 litre

1997 cc

(121.864 cu in) Bore × Stroke 85 × 88 mm

3.35 × 3.46 in Bore/stroke ratio 0.97 Valve gear DOHC

4 valves per cylinder

16 Total valves maximum power output

(JIS) 239.3 PS (236 bhp) (176 kW)

at 5500 rpm Specific output

(JIS) 118.2 bhp/litre

1.94 bhp/cu in maximum torque

(JIS) 343 Nm (253 ft·lb) (35 kgm)

at 2500 rpm Specific torque

(JIS) 171.76 Nm/litre Engine construction sump compression ratio 8.8:1

Yes 4G63T, 5 Speed Auto.

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

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

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.

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.

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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
