Are these things any good ??

[B-Man]

I know, I know - It's a Skyline forum - but these things seem pretty good value for $$

Are they any good ??? 3.0 litre, twin turbo, full time 4WD

[Tommyk]

theyre okay

ultimately, still a mitsubishi. Costly for parts and maintenance.

Not really that great/quick a car. Very heavy (heavier than 300zx or GTR) Something close to 1600kgs

That one looks in pretty crap shape.

Wait until a raws workshop opens up for these.

You should be able to get a 97/98 model for about 25-30k complied once it comes out

They also came out in N/A

Thing is a rocket in a straight line but hates cornering. The weight really kills it.

Gearbox is an issue.

we just brought one in for a RAWS to use as their sample car... there's some bargains to be had... although, not my cuppa tea... its the supercar that wasn't.

[GTRgeoff]

Hmmm, be a great cruise/pose car tho....

[Driver]

acutually that car is ment to be in realy good nick

Do not do it B-Man.

[B-Man]

Aw Come on Blitz - Mitsu Power ! ha ha ha

[Tommyk]

if you really want a mitsu bring in an evo 6/7.

They wouldnt cost that much more

Funky - how long before RAWS compliance becomes available, do you think ?

Firend has one of the rare low volume australian 3000gt's imports bought in, its a nice looking car but suffers from very bad understeer once lowered. Its a car that will turn heads but besides the huge amount of petrol it eats if u drive it a little hard and the weight issue its not to bad of a cruse car. Parts are also extreamly expensive and for all the maintanence and tuning problems (extreamly hard to get bigger turbo's) you rather get a skyline, way better bang for buck. Thats my opinion anyways.

I read somewhere (might be an issue of HPI magazine) that they were hard to modify, expensive to work on etc. Once saw a Jeremy Clarkson reveiw on one he hated it, but I remember seeing some sweedish websites that had turned one of these into a very fast car.

Look to the USA. They make them haul ass. Sold under few different names there too.

I second the Evo route if you're going Mitsubishi.
