they are almost imposible to get and cost the earth,

because they are always crapping out.

And that goes for both the Engine and Trans ECU's
Not to mention matching up all the no.s

The most common cars we have at owrk for problems are Mitsi's, Subaru's and Nissan's to name the most common closley followed by mazda. At least the subies are easy to fix tho (must have engineered them that way cos they knew what would happen)

oh yeh, as leon said, Run away

If I recall correctly wasn't there a big scandal with Mitsubishi knowingly producing faulty VR4 chips and not doing anything about it? Then they had a major lawsuit or something and lost millions... Also I was told the earlier ones used the windscreen to give the frame structural rigidy, i.e if the windscreen goes so does the roof, but I have a suspicion that's a common fact to all early cars...

Sorry thats probably not relevant

So, to sumarise, everyone has their own opinions about what cars are good and stuff, and we'll never agree.

Makes for good discusions though, when people can behave like grown ups.

^^^ Yeah I agree. As said before, I know Mitsubishi have their flaws, a few serious ones too - doesn't mean all their stuff is crap. Look at the Lancer Evo series and how well that did in the WRC (ignoring the latest POS they entered).

Each to their own.
LOUD NOISES!!!

hehe you cant compare rally cars to the road product :wink:

rally cars get a lot of service and many many new parts every few hundred kays.
