I am commissioning in the Army in May and need to have a more utilitarian vehicle that can take me cross-country along with a lot of my personal belongings. I bought this car in May, 2010 while working as the Used Car Manager at a local dealership. I knew from the moment I saw it that I had to have this car. Ever since high school these machines have fascinated me. Beginning in the early 1990s, Diamond Star Motors (DSM) began producing a car that was available from three different brands: Mitsubishi, Eagle, and Plymouth. The respective models were the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. They all came in front wheel drive and all wheel drive layouts, manual or automatic, and turbo or non-turbo. By far the rarest of these was the Plymouth Laser AWD Turbo. Not many were made and production was actually halted mid way through the 1994 production year. Costing over $16,000 new in 1992, they were the hot ticket for those looking for a thrill. In the years to come they began showing up in the used car market and for a relatively small amount you could have the platform for a great, FAST, weekend warrior! When I purchased the car, I became the third owner at 57,042 miles. VERY LOW ORIGINAL MILES! The owners before me were an older couple. The wife had driven it for a while then got tired of the manual transmission. The husband then drove it on the weekends until they decided to sell it. All of these miles are original and there is no indication of any rollback whatsoever. When I purchased the car it was in very good cosmetic shape but had a few mechanical issues. All 1st generation DSMs were notorious for leaking capacitors within the ECUs. This is exactly what happened with my car. After this repair ($78) it ran like new. This Laser has lived the majority of its life under a carport and it shows. The exterior of this car is an 9 out of 10, especially for DSM standards. There are knicks and dings from normal driving, however, this is to be expected from any 22-year-old car! Paint on the door mirrors is beginning to fade due to them being plastic. There is only one mark on the car from any kind of "accident." Just behind the left-rear wheel there is a quarter sized scrape from me backing into a curved retaining wall. Needless to say I was furious at myself. See pictures for more detail. The interior of the car is also a 9 out of 10. The carpet and front seats are very, very clean with no holes or significant stains. The rear seat is immaculate and appears to have never been used. The steering wheel retains its leather wrapping and has no discoloration or tears. I redid the headliner with a heavier vinyl when I bought the car. It still looks very good. The only real issue in the cabin is the dash pad. Due to age and probably heat, it has begun to peel up on the passenger side. This would likely be an easy repair for a professional. See pictures for details. This car is currently about $500 away from making a consistent and reliable 300HP. All that needs to be done is to install an EVO 8 MAF and have it retuned. The car runs perfectly now, but is not at its full power potential. Estimated power levels as the car stands now is probably around 200-215 awhp. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS!!! Cruise control Headlights Brake lights Fog lights Interior lights Trunk lights Signal Indicators Radio Rear windshield wiper Front windshield wiper Front and rear washers Rear defrost Power windows Power locks Seatbelts Emergency brake Horn Emergency flashers Glove box Sunroof Air conditioning and heat Dash dimmer switch This car has been tastefully modified. Some things I upgraded along the way as some parts grew old and needed replacing, others I did in pursuit of increased performance. None of the modifications I have done scream ricer, or high school rat rod. Even the exhaust is 2.5" with a Magnaflow muffler to keep the noise down (hardly any droning either, which is nice). It should be noted that I live in a non-emissions test county thus the car does not currently have a catalytic converter installed. There is a test pipe bolted in currently and it is an easy swap to have a converter installed.

Mitsubishi recalling 2011 Outlander Sport over panoramic roofs that may fly off
Tue, 02 Jul 2013The panoramic roof offered on the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a great way to make the cabin feel more open, but some owners of the compact CUV could get a little more openness than they bargained for. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall for Outlander Sport models built between August 2010 and March 2011 due to the possibility that the panoramic roof could fly off.
On about 3,200 Outlander Sport models in the US and Puerto Rico, a potentially improper installation process could have resulted in a lack of adhesive primer between the glass and the roof, which could allow the glass to detach from the vehicle and become dangerous debris on the road. Fortunately, it sounds like there have only been two instances of detached roofs, and neither was in the US. As a fix, Mitsubishi dealers will check to make sure the primer was used, and if not, the glass will be reinstalled following the proper procedure. Scroll down for the official NHTSA recall notice.
Mitsubishi mulling Mirage sedan for US [w/videos]
Tue, 15 Oct 2013
Mitsubishi is bringing the Mirage hatchback to the US this fall, carrying a price tag of $12,995, not including the $725 destination charge. Mitsunori Kitao, COO of Mitsubishi Motors Thailand Co., says that the Japanese automaker might consider releasing the sedan version of the Thailand-built compact - called the Attrage in Thailand and the Mirage G4 in the Phillipines - if the little hatchback takes off in the US market, Automotive News reports.
Weight is a key concern with importing the sedan. The non-US Mirage hatchback weighs just 1,900 pounds, but its naturally aspirated 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine makes just 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque, which can only manage a 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 11.2 seconds. The heavier sedan would take even longer.
Mitsubishi Evo tagged with graffiti faster than you can say 'stop!'
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Ladies and gentlemen, meet Maggie Stiefvater, professional artist and musician, New York Times best-selling author and Mitsubishi Evo owner. Because, as she writes, "In my latest novel, The Dream Thieves, a character drives a car that looks just like mine. Only there's a knife painted on the side of his," she decided to graffiti a knife on the side of hers.
And that's how you get the time-lapse video below of Stiefvater, a few aerosol cans and a lot of stencils enjoying a sunny day in the park.
