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.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.

Mitsubishi Concept G4 leaves us feeling blue

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

To say we were unimpressed by the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage that debuted in New York earlier this year would be one heck of an understatement. So pardon us for not oohing and aahing over the Concept G4 that we're seeing for the first time here in Shanghai. It is, basically, a Mirage sedan. Try to contain your excitement.
Mitsubishi states that it intends to roll out the production version of the G4 Concept globally, powered by a 1.2-liter MIVEC engine mated to a continuously variable transmission that should at least be good for some substantial fuel economy gains. The Mirage, after all, is rated at 37/44 miles per gallon city/highway. We're also told that the car will be very lightweight, and that this should aid in making this thing not drive like a total dud.
We'll wait and see how the relatively sharp lines of the concept transfer to production form, but given that we already know what the Mirage looks like, we have a pretty good feeling that we'll be just as underwhelmed the second time around. Have a look below for the press blast.

Mitsubishi subcompact sedan coming to US in 2015?

Tue, 14 May 2013

Speaking to some of its dealers recently, Mitsubishi unveiled its plans for a new subcompact sedan offering in the US. Automotive News reports the automaker showed off a rendering of a new subcompact sedan and said the machine will debut sometime in 2015.
The little four-door could be based on the three-cylinder G4 Concept that bowed at the Shanghai Motor Show this year, effectively making it a four-door version of the current five-door Mirage. Mitsubishi dealers are currently starving for new products to entice buyers into showrooms. A redesigned Outlander will show up this summer, long before the teased subcompact sedan. The automaker is also planning to bring out a revised version of the five-door Mirage compact later this year.
Dealers are taking the announcement as a sign that Mitsubishi has finally begun to turn things around. Automotive News spoke with Scott Grove, who owns two Mitsubishi dealerships near Chicago. Grove said he thought the dealer meeting was more positive than it's been in years, and that he believes Mitsubishi is finally on the offensive.
