PRICED TO SELL!!!  I am offering up one of my pride and joy's that I literally poured my soul into building. I am selling her because it is time to invest my money into other business ventures. Let me be straight up from the start... the objective of this build was show and go! As you can see from the pictures. I did NOT build her to sit up in my garage or be trailered everywhere like a pretty pretty princess... no... this thing was meant to drive amd that's exactly what I did with it. So, if you're looking for a trailer queen with 100% perfect paint, then look elsewhere for a car. If you are here for a beast that you plan to track, drive and smash folks on the freeway in and not have to worry about a pebble here and there scratching up the paint, then Ernestyn may be the girl for you (name subject to change with ownership of course). 

The wrongs:

1)  Because the doors are motorized controlled, the car does require two batteries that need to stay charged when the vehicle is not being operated, thus, I will include 2 battery tenders (already hooked up to the car) that you will have to plug in to an outlet source.
2)  The mileage reported will be wrong... The car had approx 72k miles on the orig motor before I pulled it. The 4G63 head is the original one that came with the car, however, it has been customized as well, and paired to a 4G64 block (better bottom end power). 
3)  The driver power seat dies on me so eyou may need to get a new one, a new seat motor, or get a regular manual seat (IMO - manual seat is much better than the electric)
4)  As mentioned before, there are wear and tear marks on the rea bumper, hood and driver side skirt (please ask for pix if you're concerned and want to see the damage)
5) Cruise control has been removed to make way for speed/power goodies
6) OEM driver steering wheel has been removed, thus, no driverside airbag (I sold the oem steering wheel, but one can easily replace the MOMO aftermarket one with an OEM one.)
7) The passenger side window goes up about 80%, might need a new window regulator

Other than that, this car is flawless. Built by Road Race Engineering in Santa Fe Springs, CA. They have handled everything mechanical on this car for me, hence, her awesomeness! I will list her spec sheet at the very end of this intro. 

QUICK INFO: She puts out 328awhp on 91 octane and 525awhp on 110. I was going to convert to E85, and RRE quoted me between $1500-$200, and an estimated increase to 650awhp easily. 

PLEASE NOTE: there is a "half and half" Christian theme plastered all over her, this was to signify the One Man (the car) with Two Natures (Spirit Nature and Sin/Flesh Nature), so you may want to sand the black off of the rear light and front driver side marker lamp, change the tint to one color, powder coat the wheels to match and change the headlights to match (I have both complete sets of black headlights and chrome headlights. Only problem with switching the headlights to match is that I installed Acura TSX projectors into the headlights, and that was not fun to do. Also, the hood has a very unique mural on it that I WILL be removing once sold, as that mural is personal and will be put onto my next vehicle. I can have the hood painted silver or black or whatever color you choose, or I can leave it primered, your choice.

NOT BEING SOLD WITH THE VEHICLE: I will be keeping my sub woofer and box, and the amp that powers the sub. Possibly the headrest covers (I have seat covers installed) or all of the seat covers if you don't like my taste, but the headrests have "KOG" stitched into them, it is a car club's insignia that I am part of, thus, I will need to keep those.

ANY QUESTIONS: Please email any questions you have PRIOR to bidding. Car is being sold AS-IS, no warranties. NO returns. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY!!! A down payment of $500 will be due within 24 hours of auction end (non-refundable), and the balance will be due 1 week (7 days) from auction end. No exceptions. If any of these deadlines are missed, I will relist the car and give negative feedback... NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Below, I have included Ernestyn's Spec Sheet... for your pleasure! :) Happy Bidding, and believe me, you will enjoy this car as I have!

Mitsubishi denies plans for Toyota/Subaru rival sports coupe

Tue, 23 Oct 2012

Forgive us for being wistful, but there was a time when Mitsubishi coupes and sports cars were the downright awesome. The 1990s brought us the all-wheel drive, turbocharged Eclipse GSX and the twin-turbocharged 3000GT VR-4 (seen here). The times, they were good.
Fast-forward to today, and the Lancer Evolution exists as Mitsubishi's sole, true performance offering. Mitsubishi killed off the Eclipse last year, by which time it had lost much the luster of its predecessors. With an affordable Japanese sports car fomenting underway thanks to Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, one may think that it's an ideal time for a brand like Mitsubishi to jump back into the performance coupe game. A rear-drive Mitsubishi sports car to take on the Toyobaru twins could be just what the brand needs to gain some mindshare among consumers.
Not so, says Osamu Masuko. The president and executive director of Mitsubishi told reporters at the Sydney Motor Show, "Our engineers are very prominent to investigate new technologies, but to use that technology they are not that good to bring the revenue to make that money." Read: the engineers want to do it, but the company does not find it to be financially responsible.

Mitsubishi turning Montero into crossover, Outlander Sport may get PHEV variant

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Mitsubishi is getting more and more forthcoming about its plans for the US market. Among the tidbits revealed during a chat with Edmunds at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, MMNA Executive Vice President Don Swearingen said that "We are committed to huge investments in capital as well as huge investments in R&D." The marquee product of that investment could be a new Montero for the 2017 or 2018 model year, suggestions of which were raised with the Concept GC-PHEV at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and again at the end of last year. Swearingen said the proposed SUV is a little smaller than a Ford Explorer and that dealers have seen a picture of it. A decision on whether to bring it to the US will be made later this year.
Below that, incremental improvements will come to every model over the next couple of years. The Outlander will get a facelift next year before a major restyle in 2016, when the Outlander PHEV is also expected to finally make it here. In 2015 the Outlander Sport will be fitted with larger engine and a new, quieter CVT returning better acceleration and fuel economy. In 2016 it will also be redesigned, and it will be equipped with the company's new telematics system that goes into the Outlander the following year.
At the other end of the line-up, the Mirage will get a big dose of love in two years. Detail changes like better fabric inside and outside-mirror indicators are slated for 2015, and in 2016 the bargain hatchback gets "a sleek, aerodynamic" reskin. The Mirage G4 sedan could join the US range if the Canadians turn out to be fans of it. The Lancer gets only meager attentions, while the i-MiEV gets the cold shoulder and won't change at all. We get the cold shoulder as far as a next-generation Evo - Swearingen didn't say a word about that, apparently.

Japanese government chides Mitsubishi over recall delays

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

An official with the transport ministry in Japan has some stern words for Mitsubishi, taking the carmaker to task for not being more proactive and honest about its recalls. An investigation into The Tri-Star last December found Mitsubishi was tardy investigating problems and didn't explain itself forthrightly to the transport ministry about the issues. None of Mitsubishi's actions were illegal, and we should stress that this is a dialogue with Mitsubishi in Japan, not Mitsubishi Motors North America.
The official advised the automaker to, "Come up with plans for improvement, implement them and report them to the ministry." It looks like the company will get more practice than it wants in that department, having to announce another recall for the Outlander PHEV over software and hardware glitches. Those recalls come just after Mitsu finally figured out the problem with overheating lithium-ion batteries that caused a production halt of the plug-in hybrid SUV.
