Put it in post your ride mate

Put it in post your ride mate

What?? So Chisholm and Mohit and some other randoms I can't think of can have a thread in this section dedicated to their cars, but this guy has to post it in the "Post your Ride" section of the 1st gen forum that no-one looks at anyway??? How hypocritical.

I gotta say - the car looks ****ing immaculate dude. Keep it in that condition for another 20 odd years and you might actually make a profit selling it to a "magna collector".

thats one clean 1st gen :shock:
i have to say it looks like its come straight off the factory floor
but one question is: does it run as good as it looks?

Holy crap that thing looks like new!

My goodness thats a clean 1st Gen
I want!!

LOL chris good to see you made the trip over here
gawd damn that thing is clean

thanks for all the great comments lads!
In answer to a few questions:
sure does run as good as it looks, immaculatly clean motor on the inside & outside - doesnt leak a drop of oil (full mitsubishi service history up to 180thou, which was when i took over & those that know me know how anal i am with my car servicing)
used to be a bit smokey on startup, but i replaced the valve stem seals when she blew the headgasket - also had the head shaved to bring the compression up a little to suit the gas conversion
no timing chain rattle what so ever (surprised, considering every 4cyl astron magna ive ever worked on sounds like a german tank) *used to be a mechanic*
best part about it was that i only paid 800 bucks for the car!
amazing what a weekend of a bit of TLC will do to paintwork!
