Might Change Cars Again....

[Jimlad]

This time to a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo.

The later MKII model without the popups and a 6speed box.

Looking at a MR (leightweight version).

Anyone any experiance with them?

[Yaris SR Kid]

I sware you have 6 cars a year atleast!!

[Jimlad]

I get bored! lol.

Anyway... back to the GTO.

[kingdeacon]

leightweight version? lol, how much does it weigh then? there fat heavy cars

[Jimlad]

Yeah they are! So are Supras though.

100kg lighter than standard GTO.

[Pompey Gaz]

i have an idea Jimlad :P

as this is a toyota Forum why not get a TOYOTA? :P

[Red Yaris 54]

I get bored! lol.

And you think that we don't?? :P

[Karma Supra]

They are in my Top gear book of crap cars......

Says it all really... :D

[Hou]

They are ugly, why would you get rid of a gorgeous liner for that?

Bet you buy and sell enough cars each year to get traders insurance!

[Norfolk n Chance]

Two very valid points!!

How long you had the Skyline?

[GIDDLEPIN]

Jim's New Year resolution : "Not to change"...................................The way he is ;)

Wouldn't be the same if you weren't swapping cars (might get round to Toyota one day)

[Pompey Gaz]

whats due then? road tax or MOT? :P

[Fidgits]

i've never heard anything good said about them ;)

[Leeky]

Reasons not you buy a GTO

1. Weight, they are so very very very very much heavier than a Skyline or Supra

2. Cornering, considering they have 4WD and 4WS they dont go round corners as well as you would think

3. (and the most important) they put the engine in the wrong way FFS!!!!

They put the V6 in sideways! And i have no idea why!?

Means the car is nose heavy, difficult to work on and just overall nasty.

Even though the Evo is a litre smaller its such a better car..

[Jimlad]

I'm still gonna go see it.

There are too many skylines here now! :D

[Jimlad]

Supra is the same weight as a MR GTO.

[SJandMR2]

am not expert but I like the skyline, well at least you dont have to worry about depreciation on your cars, sounds likey dont have time :lol2: :P

[yazburner]

the 4WS goes wrong ALLLLLLLL the time. but if you want it that much, go for it!

[Leeky]

Supra is the same weight as a MR GTO.

How much is the MR weigh? i've never heard of the MR.

TT Supra weighs 1620kgs kerb

6 Speed GTO TT weighs 1700kgs kerb

Supra is the same weight as a MR GTO.

How much is the MR weigh? i've never heard of the MR.

TT Supra weighs 1620kgs kerb

6 Speed GTO TT weighs 1700kgs kerb

MR edition mitsubishis are like lighter harder versions of the car

like the MR FTO, and the MR evos

theyre like the stripped out top spec models

[yazburner]

also, the MR has no 4WS, which is good news!

also no ABS ,active spoilers, lighter body panels

and only 500 sold in the UK

:)

[Pompey Gaz]

to be blonde, is 4WS four wheel steering?

[Jimlad]

the 4WS goes wrong ALLLLLLLL the time. but if you want it that much, go for it!

The MR version doesn't have 4ws! :D

Or has been googling?

Yeah, The MR version has no 4WS (which is good!), no active spoilers (later models didn't have them anyway).

Will see what it's like tomorrow anyway. :D
