I bought this beauty a year ago from an "ebayer" in New Jersey and I am just the third owner of the Starion. The seller stated that the vehicle had been impounded by the police and subsequently put in storage for 20 years (I do have a copy of his original eBay listing plus his email stating the history of the car). He wasn't truthful on many counts, but this I can tell you: Carfax confirms that the vehicle had less than 19,000 miles on it when I bought it and it now has less than 21,000 miles. Based upon the work I've put in to it, being in storage for that many years is a reasonable assumption. Repairs/restoration has included: NEW (not used or refurbed) head, new head gasket, refurbed turbo (original), refurbed radiator, refurbed heater core, NEW fuel pump and check valve, new battery, new computer module, new water pump, PLUS the engine was torn down and rebuilt and bored with new bearings, new pistons, new rings, new valves, plus all the fixings. The "dipstick" I bought this from had the primary and secondary injector wiring reversed but a certified Mitsubishi mechanic has since fixed all known issues. The leather interior is in great shape including seats, carpet, and dash. All lights work, cruise works. Mechanically this has been restored/rebuilt to like new condition. There is NO rust anywhere although there are a couple of repairable dents in the right rear quarter panel. The paint on the composite/rubber rear spoiler has peeled off and there are some "keyed" areas on the drivers side. This a beautiful every day driver as is OR a partial or complete paint job with easily make this a show car. I truly drive this car every day I can, but do avoid driving it in bad weather that could diminish it's rust free life. Oh, numbers match as well! I've put a $200.00 deposit down on a NEW front air dam and the buyer can HAVE that deposit if you pay the balance of $75.00 + it's shipping and will include it with sale when it arrives. Sale includes a few extra parts plus a service manual.

The worst rally driver you've ever seen
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Fast cars and excellent driving skills might be the easy answers when asking how to succeed in rally racing, but after watching this video, a good teammate is obviously an important aspect of this sport, too. During the 2013 Rally of Coimbatore in India, driver Samir Thapar and his co-driver, Vivek Ponnusamy, didn't seem to be on the same page as the two attempted to navigate the course in their Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
We'd probably hear drastically different stories if we talked to Thapar and Ponnusamy about this particular event, but you know things are bad when "stay on road" and "turn the wheel" are commands given by the co-driver (and yes, that's a man running for his life in the screen shot shown above). As it turned out, though, it seems like the Ponnusamy was justified in his concerns to take care of the racecar. Race results show that despite winning three of the seven stages, this team ultimately ended the race with a DNF.
Scroll down to watch the video, and even though it's been edited down from almost 40 minutes to less than four, we get the idea that it wasn't a pleasant experience for driver or co-driver.
2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 4
Fri, 28 Jun 2013The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.
Mitsubishi ASX is French for Outlander Sport
Fri, 28 Sep 2012Mitsubishi has revealed the Euro-version of the same Outlander Sport model that debuted with updates earlier this year at the New York Auto Show. No, the French do not call it the Royale Sport (with cheese), but rather the ASX.
The crossover has received a range of aesthetic and engineering tweaks, including revised interior fabrics. Designers have also abandoned the old rotary knob switch for the vehicle's all-wheel-control system in favor of a pushbutton interface, though the largest change to the recipe comes in the form of a reworked multi-link rear suspension. Powertrain options remain unchanged, however, with a total of three engine mills on deck, including a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 115 horsepower mated to a five-speed manual transmission in two-wheel drive configuration.
Those hunting up a little more traction can step up to a 1.8-liter diesel with 147 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque paired with a six-speed manual and the buyer's choice of either a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive system. A low-CO2 1.8 diesel is also available with 114 horsepower. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
