Parts can be tricky to score, but there are a few sellers around this forum that can help you out with most things! As well as contacting Mitsubishi, paying their stupid premiums and getting it sent from Japan.

Welcome Aaron,

can u boost them with out changing the intercooler i couldnt find that , all i saw was that have steel wheel turbos is this correct ?
and whats all the difference with the whole type S and other names i have been hearing? how do i tell what mine is

 

[Hotwire]

Yes 12-14 psi on the stock cooler is generally considered to be fine. Anything over this you are out of the efficiency range of the turbo and will cause and early end of life for them.

Type S and Type V refers only to the facelift models (late '98-'02).
Being 1997 yours is not either, but is closer in spec to the Type S - that is AYC, & high-vis dash. All pre-facelift have these features.

I have a question..... Why did you put a deposit down BEFORE you found out any of this information?

Welcome to the club anyways. Hopefully we'll get to see your rig at a NSW meet some time

Driver dont pick the car, the car picks the driver. Hahaha

 

[chrisssss]

i put a deposit on my car before i even saw it in real life...and it was in Adelaide...i fell in love with straight away when i flew up to see it, and then drove it back to melb..

 

[snitz]

Is the car that you bought from down here in Adelaide the one in your sig?..the one from synergy with the racing hart rims?..I test drove it and its nice car. only thing I didnt like was the butchering of the rear bar for the muffler and some foil or something put over the bar to clean it up..but definately nice for a type V.

I had decided I was going to buy the one particular one before I looked at it, only seen it on Carsales.. And when I finally saw it I decided on the spot that I was definitely going to take it as soon as my Liberty at the time sold!
