Mitsubishi RVR

[king_panther]

Hey all,

Has anyone had any experience with one of these cars ?

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars...59899 1621&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=12&silo=1011

Do those specs seem right to someone ? Non-turbo 2L, but 4WD ?

 

[montgomery]

Yeah there are a few versions.
I know one of them has a 4g63(the old backwards one) in them.

 

[bradc]

Yeah that one is kind of like a raised EVO 1-3 in an ugly body

 

[montgomery]

Yeah , more or less.
The interior is pretty poor too.

 

[Kitty's VR4]

A Bread Box on mild steroid treatment

 

[montgomery]

Full of Wheatons (you know those boring ass biscuits!)

I wanted one instead of the white legnum but was talked out of it by Iron Chef

What did he say Dave ?

 

[bradc]

They are a piece of crap that won't go around corners And the interior is fairly nasty as Chris said.

 

[Scottie]

There is someone selling 2 on ebay for that price. I have seen some that are quite nice, but also some that are fairly poo-spec..

Prob ok for the price, but not as good as a Legnum/Evo.

 

[king_panther]

No one is comparing them to EVOs or whatever.

Bradc - Aren't they 4WD ?

There is one up the coast from me that's listed as a 2L 4G63 non-turbo but with 4WD. It's more the sliding door & rear space I'm looking at. It also has those glowing dials from what I can see. I'm asking what it's like as a racecar, but more as a normal everyday car.

 

[qball]

Not worth it because the legnum is so much better, Why waste my money , No one is importing them really beacause of the legnum etc. I liked the versatility of the interior and evo gear bolts on, Big boxxy evo 3 the low spec is plasticcy inside but the beter speced one get recaros etc

 

[bradc]

Some are fwd, most are 4wd though

 

[king_panther]

Sorry I meant to say I'm NOT looking at it in terms of a performance car, but an everyday driver.

Specifically looking at non turbo & 4WD. Anyone know how much they weigh?

 

[bradc]

There isn't anything better about them than a VR-4 though. They are just a mini suv

 

[king_panther]

BAM you just pinpointed why I'm looking Brad.

I'm going out on a limb & guess that fuel usage would be a just slightly better as well. Plus if it's non turbo perhaps can run on 91ROM petrol.

Nah looking at a NON turbo.

Bradc - Don't like the Lancer wagons.

See what you really need is an ST-R
