drool, seen this at Ipswich Yamanto mitsu caryard, it is a standard 380 with tinted windows 19inch rims spoiler and 2inches lower, looks fully pimp in person.

Here are some mug shots but taken with my phone.

What do ya think???

What do ya think???Bloody awsome looking car.

*edit - also looks like theres room to lower it even further!*

Looks nice but I doubt its 2" lower - 1" at the most.

ah not bad at all, just need to get rid of that awful front grille :(

Nope, its two inches lowered, the salesman had it done, you can tell when it is beside another 380 in the caryard, and yeah I reckon you could go lower again.

now go back and close the bonnet and take another photo :D I really can't get a feel for the look of a car when the bonnet is up, but it looks promising!!

19's almost look small on it tho! :shock:

yep sure is - wait you are talking about the black one? lol

looks cool, vrx grille would make a big difference though

now why the heck arent people buying them :rant:

personally, i love the look of the vrx and GT's in certain colours and dont think they are tooooo high.. yes they look better lowered.. but look ok standard ride height

there was an old couple that bought their white 380VRX in to work today for its first service.. they have had 2 lots of pin stripes put up the side, front and rear sun-visor things on the windscreens, sheep skin seat covers on it and a cardigan on the back seat.. :bowrofl: it looked horrid!! hahah

Who's going to be the first to engineer airbags for the 380.

I have to say that black is really the 380's colour. I've seen a black GT and it was awesome. Looked real aggressive. :cool:

starting to see em regularly now; a few vrx's n gt's now; executives, same potential as magna's but seriously those hub caps n side skirts

that looks teh pimpZ0r

now go back and close the bonnet and take another photo :D I really can't get a feel for the look of a car when the bonnet is up, but it looks promising!!

19's almost look small on it tho! :shock:

yeah i agree! not my 1st choice in a style of rim for the 380, but still does look very nice.. someone get out there and put 22's on one! :badgrin:

yeah drop it another 2 inches atleast and slam some 20's or 22's on it and it would look PIMP

still a black GT with the above mentioned would look even more pimp

yeah i agree! not my 1st choice in a style of rim for the 380, but still does look very nice.. someone get out there and put 22's on one! :badgrin:

:stoopid: Those 19s look small on the 380 if they are 19s...

:stoopid: Those 19s look small on the 380 if they are 19s...

:stoopid: and I think the car looks gay. Honest Opinion.

:stoopid: Those 19s look small on the 380 if they are 19s...

Well if you can get to Yamanto Mitsubishi then you can see for yourself.

Has anyone actually bought one yet? everybody seems to say they like (or hate) it but no one here seems to have one...

probably because 9 out of 10 of the like or hate crew cant afford one.

And would probably buy an XR6T or SS if we could lol

or buy an '04 magna and spend the extra $10-$15k or so on mods ;)

that car does look hot, and as sed previously, startin 2 really see em on the roads now!

im still seeing bugger all of them. Pulled up at a set of lights next to a stock base model 380 the other day. the 16 inch hubcaps look weird up close, but the car did look pretty nice, nice red paint.
BUT! They are so god damn high its not funny. I was looking up to see who was driving like i would if a 4WD was next to me!! :doubt:

lol no I'd rather buy an XR6T and spend some money on mods.

Why not buy a gen 1 for $300 and pump the extra 30k or so into mods :D

ive seen around 6 in the last week.. before that i was seeing about 1 a month

Correct. There's no genuine hero car in the range. The GT, apart from being laughably named is effectively over-priced; and put a TJ VRX next to a 380 VRX and you've got to wonder why MMAL has gone in the direction they have in terms of lack of "visual attitude" on the 380. (just an opinion - don't ban me, oh mighty admin team...!)

why not buy an evo 4 or 5,

that car looks good,

yeah hero car is definately important...
look how much toyota focussed on it in the aurion launch, there wasnt much focus on the base models which they are planning to release a lot earlier

lol no I'd rather buy an XR6T and spend some money on mods.

meh i'd just buy a vr4 and increase the boost and internals and have a custom interior :) *drool* hehe

XR6T? eh those are old news...everyones done one of them now....its like the modern VL.
Id be unqiue and do up the mistu again:)

No car is unique.

And I dont care if it's old news...I dont do cars for people to like me or like what I've done. I like the XR6T over any stock magna. I think they're a corker of a car and deserve the cult status they will get. Thats all. Doing up a mitsu isnt unique lol...there's now 5000 members to prove you wrong :P lol

Spackbace: I would do that if I could get a 98 VR4 Galant, not interested in any other model.

2 true...a man who knows his galants hehe :P well u could always buy one of the fakes on autotrader ;)

*Edit* althought, i'd probably just drop a 6A12TT into my 93 HJ yum :D

Just spoke to the salesman again, before this one they had a black VRX "Manual" lowered 3inches on 19s with a dual exhaust and a GT like stripe across the lower part of the car. He said a mitsu rep bought it straight away after nearly crashing his own car when driving past the caryard looking at it.lol

So if anyones seen that beast then take some happy snaps please.:shock:

Oh yeah and he said it went like a cut snake, being the manual version.
