So i picked this up a while back, fella was getting rid of it because it was it was his daughters car but one day the rear sway bar mount snapped clean off on the left side, so was practically giving it away at 50 bucks! Shot down to oamaru and grabbed it, rego on hold. Becoming quite rare now with the 123hp 4g61, Mitsubishi's competitor to the 16 valve 4age, and 5 speed Manwell. Basically I'm going to try and make a fun track car with minimal money, even in stock form it shoots round corners pretty well and the motor is nice and revvy. No speed demon by any means but still pulls along nicely. Picked up a cheap seat, unfortunately it's not fixed back but if a cheap fixed back one pops up I'll swap em over. Mounted up to the factory rails with a few mods but not happy with how high it sits though so will have to come up with something there. Ordered a set of "low" springs today as superlows aren't a thing for these. Also have been talking with one of the guys here who does the 2kcup and he's hooking me up with a near new dunlop direzza z11 as that's the control tyre for that class, so ordered another one today so I'll run them up the front as I can't afford a full set at the moment, got a pair of yokohama S drives for the rear, they seem to have pretty good reviews online so that should do for the rear. Thankfully it actually runs mint and drives well, clutch will probably need doing in the future but still bites well for now. 4 wheel disc brakes as well so brakes pretty well, dunno how I'll go getting high performance pads for it though being a bit of an obscure model. My boss also had heaps of old stickers so we stickered it up for a laugh haha. Also has a pretty sweet set of 14s that I'll try tidy up and get rid of the shitty black spray paint job too.
