Mitsubishi FTO GPX MIVEC
Discussion
Hey.
Am looking at one of these. The seller says would take £650 for it as it needs gone asap due to being stored at her parents. It has MOT till end of june.
She states there is a 'small leak' from the gearbox (its a manual)
Anyone have experience with these? Anything i should look out for?
thanks in advance
Pete

For £650 its got to be worth a punt, you could break it and get that back easily if it came to it.
The 2.0 V6 Mivec is a nice motor, sounds lovely and should work well with a manual box, I've only ever been in a 4spd auto and that really didn't do it for me, but the chassis is nice and the front end feels pointy.
A lot of the front end parts are interchangeable with Evo 1/2/3 so some cheeky upgrades can be bolted on easily.
They have similar performance stats to an EP3 CTR so still quick and they look good too, although the front end is a bit gopping!

^ Like they said .... rust. I had to scrap mine last year, the chassis was beyond economical repair. Really sad as I'd had it for 18 years, superbly looked after screamer of an engine on only 65000 miles, the bodywork and interior were also as new!!! The problem is as I'm sue we all know already, that they tend not to underseal them in Japan, so, my own stupid fault, I should have done that when I brought it over.
