I am listing my EVO which I had NEVER intended on selling. I have too many cars and am looking at getting rid of a few to make room for a new exotic.

I am sure I am leaving things out!

Anyway.......The car has no hiccups....no excuses...It has 4k miles on the build. With absolutely ZERO issues, ZERO leaks, or problems.....As I said. It is daily driveable with the AC ON or off :) In ANY weather....The Interior is virtually mint. I am extremely picky. The only thing making the interior look a bit less than new is you can tell the drivers seat has been sat in. THAT'S IT!

On the chassis Dyno It makes 646whp 550WTQ!!! AND IT FEELS LIKE IT!!!! I have many cars. From a 1000hp Viper, 900HP Camaro, 750 HP Buick T-Type, etc....This car is no joke. It can spin all 4 tires from a roll in 2nd gear on a cold day!

I have never tracked it, just run around on the streets. I have played around with bikes, other friends rides and such and the car always feels like a rocket to me. When the turbos hit this thing plants you into the seat as much as my Viper!

There is absolutely not a thing wrong with the car. I am looking at getting rid of a few cars to make a big purchase. This is the ONLY reason I am selling this car. 

Ill say this much......many people that own these cars sell them because there is an underlying problem that gets passed to the new owner. NOT the case here. Somebody will buy this car and do NOTHING to it but drive it for a very long time! It's tuned on e85 and only at 31.5 lbs of boost. We didnt go crazy. AND again, it has 4k proven miles on the setup with zero issues. I own a very reputable business and am well known in the community. I live by my word and am describing this car to a tee!!!

The rear Carbon Fiber wing was just recleared from the paint shop as the clear coat coming off from sun exposure. It was then fully polished with the buffer and it looks great. In addition the mirrors were a bit dull so I repainted these as well. There are I believe 3 small door dings that I am actually having somebody come out to pop out today. Why I am going to this extreme you ask? I like things right and even if it doesn't sell I would have done it anyway! There is a small scratch on the drivers front fender that I took a picture of. The front hood has some road nicks from 71k Miles and other than that, that's all. 

I am not listing this for a fire sale. I dont NEED to sell it, but have found something I would like to buy. I need room! Feel free to call with any questions and I will answer them.

The engine bay and underside of this vehicle are just as clean and sanitary as the outside. No junk, no garage kids slapping something together. It was all done professionally and it shows.

I am NOT accepting trades. Only looking to sell to make room for another purchase


On Feb-17-13 at 13:37:50 PST, seller added the following information:

I also have a few videos of the car on the freeway playing around with a buddy in his ferrari scuderia. Gives an idea of how the car pulls. 


And just to reitterate.  This is a billet rod. NOT an aluminum. This is not a dedicated drag car but rather a nasty street car. I like to be able to use my vehicles. 
Aluminum Rods are designed for drag only. I built a serious driver. 
Email me or text me and i will send some youtube links as ebay no longer lets you post them.

Car owners getting more irritated with their repair experiences, study says

Thu, Mar 9 2023

The J.D. Power U.S. Customer Service Index Study (CSI) is a barometer of a vehicle owner's happiness with the service experience. While it wasn't all bad in the 2023 study, the overall owner satisfaction score dropped. This year's tally of 846 out of 1,000 is two points down from 2022, the 43-year-old study's first decline in more than 28 years, and one point down from 2021. However, the overall score remains well up from the pre-pandemic scores of 821 in 2018 and 837 in 2020. The study claims the stumbling block is the horde of BEV launches. The flood into the new energy space has created a recall rate among EVs that's more than double the rate for ICE vehicles. Furthermore, dealership service department knowledge of EVs isn't on par with internal combustion engine expertise, leaving EV owners less satisfied with service advisors compared to ICE owners. Chris Sutton, VP of automotive retail at J.D. Power, said, "As training programs for service advisors and technicians evolve, EV service quality and customer experience must address both the vehicle and the unique customer needs. The EV segment has the potential to spur massive convenience improvements in how customers service their vehicles — but weÂ’re not seeing the benefits yet." Matters are slightly worse for all owners, though, with labor and parts shortages contributing to longer wait times for service appointments. The CSI study surveys owners and lessees of one- to three-year-old vehicles to gauge their happiness with service at franchised dealer or aftermarket service facilities for maintenance or repair work. The criteria in order of importance are service quality (32%); service advisor (19%); vehicle pick-up (19%); service facility (15%); and service initiation (15%). Lexus retains the top spot for luxury brands, giving it three wins in four years. The Japanese automaker won in 2020 as well, its run interrupted by Porsche in 2021. Cadillac, Infiniti and Acura complete the luxury top 5.  For mass-market cars, Mitsubishi wins again after a victory in 2021 and falling to fourth last year. It's followed by Mazda, Buick, Subaru and Mini.  Considering the different service needs and service experience of different body styles, the study has broken results out by segment for the first time. Lexus earned a second victory thanks to winning the premium SUV segment, and Mitsubishi earned a second victory by winning the mass-market SUV/minivan category.

Junkyard Gem: 1983 Mitsubishi 4WD SPX Truck

Fri, Dec 22 2023

Mitsubishi began building the Forte small pickup in 1978, and Chrysler quickly started selling the Forte in North America with Dodge D-50/Dodge Ram 50/Plymouth Arrow Truck badging. Mitsubishi-badged vehicles first showed up on our shores as 1983 models, with four models available: the Cordia liftback coupe, the Tredia sedan, the Starion sports car and the Truck. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very first of those Mitsubishis to be sold in the United States, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently. This series is all about gems of automotive history, and we've got a really rare bit of Mitsubishi Motors history here with this August 1982 build date. I've documented six discarded (Mitsubishi-badged) Mitsubishis from the 1983 model year prior to now, and none had build dates earlier than January of 1983. This pickup may have been on the first shipload of new Mitsubishis to arrive at San Pedro (while the town's most legendary band was just becoming known outside of Southern California). Even my discovery of one of the very first Camrys sold in North America (in the same junkyard a few years back) isn't as cool as this. The commonly used name for all of the first-generation (1983-1986) Mitsubishi pickups is "Mighty Max," but a look through contemporary price guides (of which I have an extensive library) and Mitsubishi Motors USA's own marketing materials shows that the official name for this truck was "Truck," available in Mighty Max, Turbo Diesel and SPX sub-designations. Other Japanese manufacturers also sold vehicles named Trucks and Vans here, with the Toyota Truck (aka Hilux everywhere else in the world) being the best-known. Later on, Mitsubishi fully embraced the Mighty Max trim level as the model name for all the Forte/Triton-based pickups it sold here. For the 1983 model, the Mighty Max was the cheapest Mitsubishi Truck, sold only with 2.0-liter engine, rear-wheel-drive and four-on-the-floor manual transmission. This is a 4WD SPX with automatic transmission, the most expensive Mitsubishi Truck available in 1983. It has the 2.6-liter Astron SOHC four-cylinder engine, rated at 108 horsepower and 142 pound-feet. The Astron went into a wide variety of U.S.-market vehicles over the years, including Chrysler K-Cars and Dodge Challengers. Such luxury! The Dodge-badged version of this truck, the Ram 50, remained available all the way through the second generation of Forte and the 1994 model year.

Mitsubishi cheated on Japanese fuel economy test since 1991

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Mitsubishi now says that its cheating on Japanese fuel economy tests stretches as far back as 1991. The automaker has hired an independent panel of investigators to get to the bottom of what happened, and the company will give them three months to prepare a report about the deception. Mitsubishi's cheat involves how the company calculated driving resistance to determine fuel economy. In 1991, Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Act established a coasting test to establish the driving resistance, but Mitsubishi's engineers used their own "high-speed coasting test," according to its statement. In 2007, the company decided to only use the country's mandated evaluation, but the employees kept utilizing the high-speed test in the field. In the most recent scandal, workers selected low values for driving resistance from the results, which made the fuel economy look better. Mitsubishi's presented these details in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. "We are currently investigating the reasoning behind each of the decisions," the company said in a statement. It also hired three former prosecutors to figure out why this happened for so long. At this time, Mitsubishi only confirms the incorrect figures for some of the company's minicars, but this investigation could discover more transgressions. This fiasco started when Nissan discovered fuel economy discrepancies in some of its Mitsubishi-made tiny kei-class cars in Japan. Mitsubishi came clean and admitted the problem affected about 625,000 vehicles in the country. Japanese media have alleged more vehicles have incorrect mileage, including the Outlander. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US has also requested data from the Japanese automaker to confirm similar deceptions didn't happen for vehicles here.
