***MECHANIC'S SPECIAL***
***THIS CAR NEEDS SOME REPAIR***

***CLEAR KY TITLE WAS SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER,
 BUT I DIDNT TRANSFER IT TO MY NAME. ***
THIS MAY MAKE TRANSFERRING THE TITLE
SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT IF YOU ARE A KY RESIDENT AND DONT KNOW A NOTARY.
IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND THAT IS A NOTARY IM SURE IT WONT BE AN ISSUE.
IF YOU ARE AN OUT OF STATE BUYER IT SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE EITHER.


THE GOOD NEWS:
Car starts right up and idles & runs smoothly. The engine sounds great.
No knocking, no ticking, no smoking, no leaking.
The car drives and handles great. 
All four tires are close to new and are matching.
The car has an aftermarket Sony CD player that sounds good.
This car is a great parts car or project car.

THE BAD NEWS:
KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CAR:
1.  BAD NOISE coming from transmission and/or clutch. 
 Clutch kit is brand new from O'reilly auto parts,  and it has a lifetime warranty.  
Receipt for clutch kit is included, so it can be swapped out for a new clutch kit.
The noise is present at all times when the engine is running,
 but goes away when you push in the clutch pedal.  Comes back when you let pedal out.
I think its possible the new throwout bearing is bad, or the input shaft bearing on the transmission is bad.
It may be something else, I dont know. Im not a transmission expert. 
The transmission shifts fine through all gears. 

2. NO AC BELT- this likely means that AC compressor is bad.

3. DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW IS BUSTED OUT-  Replacement (used) door glass included but not installed.

4.  Interior is pretty dirty.  Needs a thoroughly vaccuuming, and plastic/vinyl surfaces need cleaned. 
Small tear in drivers seat upholstery.

5.  Some dents/dings on body.  Theres a ding where the front emblem is, 
 also a ding on rear of decklid, and a pretty good dent/scrape on drivers fender and door.
Some cracks in front bumper cover.  See pics. 

6. Fuel filler neck was rusted through, and has a piece of plumbing pipe spliced in. 
It serves its purpose and does not leak.

DUE TO THE UNKNOWN CLUTCH/ TRANSMISSION NOISE
  I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TOW OR TRAILER THE CAR FROM HERE.
IT MAY DRIVE FOR YEARS WITHOUT ISSUE,
 OR IT MAY BARELY MAKE IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.   
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DRIVE THE CAR FROM HERE,
 AND IT BREAKS DOWN RIGHT AWAY, I WILL NOT FEEL BAD,
 AND I WILL NOT REFUND YOU.  THIS CAR IS SOLD AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.
I HAVE DESCRIBED ALL KNOWN ISSUES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models with leather seats recalled over airbag fears

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Mitsubishi is recalling 733 of its 2013 Outlander Sports that were fitted with leather seat covers due to problems with the seat-mounted airbags. Apparently, the wiring for the airbags may have been routed incorrectly when the seat covers were installed at the port.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, the issue only really crops up if owners adjust the height of the seats. Naturally, if the seat wiring is damaged, the airbag may not deploy in the event of a side impact.
The affected vehicles were all manufactured between July 20, 2012 and May 29, 2013. There have been no reported injuries or accidents due to this issue. Mitsubishi, meanwhile, will begin notifying owners, who will need to report to their local dealer for free inspections or repairs. Take a look below for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Mitsubishi celebrates 40 years in UK with Evo festooned with aftermarket bits

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Mitsubishi has an anniversary to celebrate. It has been selling cars in the UK for the last 40 years, and in recognition it is launching the Lancer Evolution X FQ-440 MR special edition with some real performance upgrades from top aftermarket companies. The models will be limited to 40 units in Frost White and priced at £50,000 each.
The special Evo uses a tweaked ECU to boost power to 440 horsepower and 412 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed, twin-clutch Sports Shift Transmission, and the engine receives a long list of augmentations with an intake, intercooler piping and tubular manifold from Janspeed, plus motorsport-specification, high-flow fuel injectors. To keep up with the acceleration, it gets six-piston front brake calipers and upgraded rear brakes behind 18-inch BBS forged alloy wheels. The suspension is lowered by 35 millimeters (1.378 inches) in the front and 30mm (1.181 inches) in the rear with Eibach coil springs.
The interior gets improvements to fit the performance upgrades. Leather-covered Recaro seats are found up front, along with an eight-speaker, Rockford Fosgate audio setup complete with a subwoofer. Navigation is standard with a seven-inch LCD touchscreen. The special edition definitely won't be making it to the US, but it's nice to see Mitsubishi commemorating itself with a performance model. Scroll down to get the full specs in the press release.
