I'm trying to find the name of an old mitsubishi car. 1980's probably original lancer. Looks about the size of MK1 escort but squarer. I think they used it for touring car racing.

There's a garage in Leamington and they have one outside all caged up and it looks awesome. I don't know the name and can't find any pics on google.

Just want the name so I can do some more research

ta

 

Like this rally one?

 

Google found these, all lancers apparently

Lancer EX2000 Turbo .

 

One of our customers has this.....



Along with a 700bhp Evo 6.

 

could also be a starion

 

As per above, if its 4dr then prob original Lancer Turbo.

Didnt say Starion or Sapporo Turbos as they nothing like Escort shape.

 

Yes, it's that shape but I'm sure it's only 2dr

It also has mega wide arches almost like the ford x-pac's.

I'll try and get a picture

 

its a starion then

 

Starion's were more of a Hatchback shape.

 

but they had the xpac type arches on the later ones

 

Not the starion as it definately has the square boot like in Christians pic

 

wide arches,2 door,must be starion ex widebody?? i thought lancer to start with too.

edit,ok its not a starion.

 

It may infact be a 4dr but I can't quite remember. I'm quite suprised that between us we haven't put our finger on it or found a pic. Must be rarer than I thought.

 

a pic from the back of one...




there is an older style starion 2door but thats a hatch too

 

Thats definately it. The one in Leamington has big'ol arches on it which makes it look the nuts It's also yellow

 

if its the one im thinking of its always at the shows etc, asian guy owns it, badass car.

 

What engines do they run? Are they 2wd or 4wd?

It looks like it would just make a cool track car.

 

was at JTS yesterday, big old APs on the front too

 

rwd

People put Cossie engine bits on them to make them go faster (injectors, intercoolers, turbos etc).

 

Any pics?

 

Ive got a couple. Bright yellow thing, very smart! Will post when i get back from work!!

 

A few people do.

Or they put later Evo engines etc in them, as its the same block, just an 8 valve single cam head.

 

sure its not one of these.....

 

Last time I looked Fiat 131 Abarths werent made by Mitubishi

One of my fave cars ever tho!

 

Had a few ex2000 in the past,tried to buy a very nice one last year,till the guy asked me 10k over the phone

cheeRS stu

 

was just a guess, when i read the first post it seemed like he was'nt sure what it was. best old skool car about if you can find them though i agree

 

I took this about 2 years ago, Is this it?

 

Not an old Celica or Skyline?

 

Are some people missing the fact he said MISTUBISHI or something?

It stands to reason he said that as he saw the badge, not as a wild guess, lol.

 

IF it is that one, the front has changed and it's lost the obvious coolers with a normal bumper now. But that is exactly like it if it isn't the one

Edited - because I opened my eyes

 

Taken yesterday, same car...

 

Thats it radders - quality car. PF detectives at work again

 

that's just like a mk1 escort, only squarer. like a mk2 escort

 

max power in the background

rear wheels look awesome and the arches are fucking cool!!!
must be a beast!!!

 

 

found this info: 303BHP + 287lb/ft torque

 

That stand ROCKED! Proper filth! LOL! Pics to follow!

 

im sure that car has been around years in leamington

goes quite well if its the same car, used to always be up by the railway station in leamington

 

Still there, just before the old Ford Foundry
