2013 Mitsubishi Evolution X New Engine, Only 5500 Miles Replaced Under Warranty! on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2013 Mitsubishi Evolution GSR. I have always wanted to own either an STi or an Evo X. I live near Angeles crest highway and would frequently hit the canyons with the vehicle and it is an amazing car to drive.The motor seized @ 5500 miles after a 30 mile drive from orange county. Cause of the failure was never determined and the motor was replaced under warranty no questions asked. I have the receipt from 2 days ago showing all the work that was done under warranty by Mitsubishi. The service manager took great care of me and once it was decided that it was under warranty, work began and was completely quickly. I was provided a Rental car from Enterprise during this time I am an older Evo owner (34) so I had no interest in modifying the drivetrain. I already have a track car that makes 590ft./lbs and 540whp. I just wanted a sporty daily driver to zip around town in. That's the best part about the Evo X is that it comes from the factory a well tuned machine. It is my daily driver, but I have found myself in a position where I would rather switch to a smaller SUV of some kind. My import days are over but were FUN! This car has never seen a drag strip (why race an AWD road racing car on a drag strip!?) It has also never seen a single track day or driving event. Strictly daily driving. The Engine Swap was completed 2 days ago under warranty by Mitsubishi technicians @ Mitsubishi on November 10th and I am currently breaking the motor in. At 1000 miles I will swap out the motor oil with Mobile 1 Synthetic. You are buying a chassis with 5500 miles, with a brand new warrantied motor. Only flaws are under the car, scrapes are on the front aero splitter from scraping driveways here and there. Only modifications are cosmetic, springs and wheels.;Here is a list of of the mods:: 1. Authentic Work Emotion CR Kiwami 18x8.5 wheels with the OEM Yokohama tires. Wheels will be polished before sale and car will be detailed .I still have the stock BBS wheels, which were run only 7 days!)
2. Swift Sport springs (about a 1" drop to remove the gap with the new wheels) Rides equal to stock springs. I was very happy with these.
3. 30% Llumar Smoke Tint on side and back window by Megaplex in Glendale.
4. Flat black 3m Vinyl wrap on roof by Megaplex in Glendale that gives the car that Glass roof look.
5.Escort ZR4 Laser Shifter stealth installed by Devin Oliver at Audio Advice in La Crescenta. Install is very stealth. Radar detector can be integrated with laser shifter's by plugging in (hard wired) just to the left of the rear view mirror. 2 Laser Sensors up front and 1 in Back on top of the license plate frame. This Laser Shifter is a LIFESAVER especially on holiday weekeneds I get lasered 3-4 times!

Most bulbs switched to LEDS. Daytime running lights, blinkers, blinker flash correction, Trunk Lighting, License Plate from PasswordJDM.

Mitsubishi denies plans for Toyota/Subaru rival sports coupe
Tue, 23 Oct 2012Forgive 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 Pajero successor still years away, but plug-in hybrid tech likely
Sun, 10 Mar 2013You might not know it from looking at today's Mitsubishi showrooms, but the struggling Japanese automaker has a pretty enviable reputation for producing robust off-roaders. Its Pajero SUV built a solid reputation worldwide on the back of its durability in harsh climates, earning it consideration alongside the likes of venerable explorers like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Range Rover. Unfortunately, the Pajero eventually succumbed to one particularly harsh climate - the North American truck market. After enjoying a long run, Mitsubishi finally pulled the plug on the SUV's Montero twin after the 2006 model year. Blame evolving consumer tastes, low brand visibility, a lackluster marketing budget, or the need for updated product - in fact, go ahead and blame all of the above.
Despite its age, the current fourth-generation Pajero (itself arguably an extensive rework of the previous model) has been carrying a lot of water for the brand in other parts of the world since its debut in 2006. So it's pretty well time for a new one. Problem is, its replacement is still a ways off. That's according to Australia's Go Auto, which has learned that the next-generation Pajero could still be three years away, if not longer.
According to Go Auto, the next model will be a much-changed beast, with design targets including a major weight loss and increased efficiency to go along with more luxurious appointments. In order to make gains in fuel economy, the plug-in hybrid technology that the company has already introduced for its new Outlander crossover will likely be a part of the SUV's development program.
Mitsubishi scores record global operating profits
Thu, 24 Apr 2014In the minds of many auto enthusiasts, Mitsubishi has become an afterthought. It has transformed from a company known for its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive rally machines into an automaker with a very boring lineup. Maybe we are being unfair, though. While the company doesn't have much of a performance presence anymore, the Japanese brand is doing quite well financially.
According to Reuters, Mitsubishi Motors had an operating profit of 123.4 billion yen ($1.2 billion) worldwide for the fiscal year that ended in March. That's twice as much as last year and a new all-time record for the Japanese automaker. It's even paying dividends to investors for the first time in 16 years, and its expected profit of 135 billion yen ($1.3 billion) in the new fiscal year matches a goal it had set for itself to achieve two years from now.
The automaker currently focuses much of its efforts on Southeast Asia, which accounts for about a quarter of its sales. It will put even greater attention there in the coming years with more local production, according to Reuters.
