I love how he asks himself "Why didn't I spend my 40k on a 430hp Corvette?"

Damn good question, ricer.

I like the local Mitsu crew. The vehicles may be steamy piles of poo, but they make their owners superior mechanics with balls of steel who don't so much as flinch in the face of major drivetrain failure. ------- respect. man.

Amen :y

I'm sure it is pretty embarrassing to have your pedal brake on a $40k overpriced mitsubishi while you're getting beat by a $3k cheap honduh

Early 90s camaros too, probably the newer ones as well. Friend decided to test the strength of a metal utility pole and lost, pieces of plastic fender shattered everywhere and the airbag shattered my face.

No rust and dents is nice though.

Mitsubishi is garbage. The old style evos are neat but everything else can suck dick.

+4 for selling mine.

Never seen a clutch pedal snap before, chris. Pedal boxes go like clockwork.

the bar on the clutch assembly owns my crx. I have a new uber beefy one so if anything Ill just snap clutch cables. My drag car I ended up having mb build me a custom assembly so I dont have the worries of the assembly wanting to twist with my whopping 450 whp. But my drag car hasnt even moved yet so who knows if itll even be any better.

I know it's not light but my point is, that they are trying to make it lighter.

They must be getting these custom ordered from China in secret, and write made in Japan all over it. Funny ---- though, ha-ha.
