I was working for Mitsubishi when those cars came out . I think I have told this story, but we got the first one in the Pittsburgh area, and the motor locked up tight one frigid January morning when the lot boy tried to move it inside to wash it . It had 7 miles on it or something crazy like that.
The little Japanese men showed up from Mitsubishi and tore it down with help from the head mechanic at the time.
That was a lot of car for its time. I have worked on 2 of them recently . One was a time capsule, that needed a fuel pump and some other minimal work, the other a rusty tuned crapbox with a horribly rebuilt motor, wiring issues, lots of cheesy tuner kid mods . I was kind of surprised how strong they ran, even the stock one .
I can remember being blown away, when the little japanese men were raising and lowering the car with nothing but a laptop .
