Standard cars are very juicy..mapped there so much better..
will agree they ain't built great but neither is my s15 its jap they drive well and that's what there good at...
Mine didnt go wrong so much,I put another turbo on mine as I blew one up..that's a problem with the 9 GT turbo the compressor wheels are magnesium and they spool up by 3,000 rpm but I had mild anti lag for pops and bangs and 1 yeah of my lead foot it went pop..so I stuck an updated 80 series off the evo 9 Fq cars its bigger spools the sake and makes more power and they are strong as hell.apart from that it never went wrong once and I drove it hard all the time!
be careful with the 7 engine the rods are known to break.search it if you don't believe me..360 is the max you should go...
the 7/8/9 looks the best IMO.followed by 5/6.
they are very fast when stage 1,nice to drive..I never dealt with Mitsubishi so can't comment on there ****e customer service..this too was my hero/dream car and I would 1000% own another..
i guess any car there's good and bad.shame it gave you so much trouble
