Hope I've got this right now...

Does the rear spoiler not change its position at speed? I thought it rose up...

The dash has stacks of little screens to show where the air from the aircon is going too doesn't it?

Your right about the dash but i'm not sure about the spoiler?

Corrado had a moving spoiler, is it maybe that your thinking of?

You might be a 3S owner if.....

-If you defend your 3800lb car when people call them land yachts

-If you carry a tool set in your car just in case anything breaks

-If you carry a screw driver in case your y-pipe blows off

-If you never race for money

-If you wait for the revs to drop when shifting into 2nd or 3rd because the gears are grinding

-If you get called out by every ricer at the races because they think your stealth is an Avenger with a body kit

-If you pull up at the races and everybody looks confused as to what it is that you’re driving

-If your stock turbo's are so small that your car works better without them after they drop off at 5200RPM

-If every time you fight with other car owners comparing your cars your last comment is about the 3S having unique styling

-If you’re trying to get to 12's and your only $100 in parts away

-If you’re trying to get to 11's and your only $3-4000 in parts away

-If you’re trying to get to 10's and your only $24,000 in parts away

-If you’re on eBay and see a current bid for $250 on an s-afc2 and you send him e-mail bartering for $150shipped

-If the price on a used S-AFC2 even depends on mileage

-If you have lost to 50 Supra's then after beating 1 supra you have a victory party

-If performance shops tell you moding your car is a waist of time and money because of weight

-If your car is in the same weight class as mini vans

-If your front turbo is bigger then your rear turbo

-If you bogg off the line in a race and the competing rwd/fwd car brags about taking you off the line

-If your VR-4 gets **** talked by a civic because he beat a SL 3kgt and doesn’t know is a TT model

-If a street tired RWD/FWD car is convinced he can take your VR-4 off the line

-If nobody knows you have AWD

-If every time you make a sweet launch everyone thinks you spray nitrous

-If every time your launch people say your front tires lifted off the ground

-If you have been through 3 transmissions in 2 years

-If every time you go for an All Wheel alignment they say they can’t align all the wheels

-If every time your take your car to dodge for a new T-case they deny you

-If you take your Stealth to a Mitsubishi dealer because Dodge acts like they never made your car

-If you have ever had a dream 3S's made it into the 9's

-If everybody calls your car a DSM

-If you are afraid to race a DSM

-If your car has more issues then a woman with Bipolar

-If every time you’re looking in a car magazine you try to find a 3000gt/Stealth

-If your car costs you more to fix then the amount you paid when you bought it

-If you swear every year Mitsubishi is coming out with a new 3000gt

-If your massively upgraded turbo’s look the same size as your stock turbo’s

-If when your at the races everyone **** talks your car until you launch in a race then everyone is on your nuts about how fast it is

-If your car always averages 100MPH on the highway because it feels like your going under 60mph

-If your passenger can never tell how fast your cruising because the rides so smooth

-If when your racing on the highway you don’t notice how fast your really going until you topped out 4th gear

-If nobody believes your 5speeds 3rd gear tops out around 125-128MPH

-If your turbo’s are so small you make 2psi at idle

-If you've spun more bearings then times you've changed your oil

-If you daily drive your SUV because it guzzles les gas then your VR-4

-If you go through more Transmissions/Transfer cases then sets of tires on your car

-If your car has more wiring then a server rack

...

Why are so many people saying "it's a pity it's a mitsi"? what's wrong with them? Not many people turn down a ride in an EVO?

I have been a fan of GTO's/3000GT's for ages. I was planning on getting one at some point in the not too distant future.

The only thing that makes me *slightly* weary is if the electronics go wrong - it is expensive to fix.

Nice choice of car Rico :thumbsup: You may have a partner in crime soon B)

Nice one mate, but we're a bit far from each other for a meet :D

As it appears you know a bit about the cars, what things are likely to go wrong with it?

Awesome Rico, I was looking at one of these before I got the 2'. It looks fantastic and a nice colour too, What engines in it? and don't tell me you don't have any plans for it....lets hear them.

cheers.

Great new ride bud!.. nice step up to the turbo laddo's..

Indeed i can confirm that the rear spoiler tilts up at an angle when above X mph and then back down again.. this is in conjunction with a front lip that slides down from under the front bumper.. :yes::thumbsup:

Mate of mine has one.. all he got is an induction kit.. he had it on the rollers and got 305bhp and 385 ft/lb torque!! :o :!Removed!: B)

yep, been reading up and apparently it comes up at 50mph but not all models have it.

Not sure if this one has or not.

Mike, its the 3.0ltr 24v n/a, has around 225bhp which is plenty for me as its gonna be a flashy baby carrier so wont get hammered much ;)

Don't know a whole lot I'm afraid... I was just cautioned on the electrics side of things by an owner. You will find many of these cars going for next to nothing because of it's electrical history. It's a main dealer/specialist solution only which is why it costs to get sorted.

I am not sure if the model you have is the full bells and whistles model, but being the N/A it probably won't have the moving spoilers. (Two less electricals you have to worry about).

These cars were like the forerunners of the EVO's electronic control in the forms of Active YAW, traction and launch etc... The electronics pretty much control the entire handling of the car and will automatically compensate for your driving errors.

Now you can start seeing what could happen. You have the car for a number of months you get used to it correcting itself in corners, during braking and under load. Then all of a sudden the elctrics begin to fail mid corner :ph34r:

It's very unlikely this could happen mid corner and unlikely to happen overnight as you would begin to notice a few oddities (including visual warnings).

It's the repair bill I'd already be saving for.

Saying all this, I still wouldn't mind one. It's still gotta be cheaper than an RX7 engine re-build B)
