Up for auction is my 2004 Lancer Ralliart. I purchased this car new back in February of 2004, and have been the only primary driver of this car in the ten years that I have owned it. Around 2,000 miles, I changed all fluids to synthetic and that has remained the same for the life of this car. I have kept methodical maintenance on this car and possibly even a little excessive over the years. Oil has been changed every 3,500-4,000 miles with Royal Purple and Wix filters, Brake fluid has been fully changed with Motul RBF 600 every 20-25,000 miles, Radiator/cooling system flushed every 25,000 miles, Thermostat replaced with performance 160 degree unit (replacing the 190 degree OEM one), Transmission fluid changed with BG Synchro-shift II every 25-30,000 miles.  Transmission rebuilt by Honea Mitsubishi in Albertville, AL due to an input shaft bearing recall a few years ago. Clutch replaced with a Clutchmasters stage 1 clutch about 10,000 miles ago. New front and rear motor mounts, new oxygen sensors, outer tie rod ends done about 15,000 miles ago, timing belt done around 85-90,000, good brakes, 75-80 percent tread left on tires.. All speakers have been replaced with JBL component speakers (6 1/2's and tweeters), Upgraded speaker wire throughout car, Kenwood head unit with bluetooth, iPod/iPhone control, satellite radio ready, AUX input, etc. The 10inch subwoofer is mounted in the OEM enclosure for a clean look.  

Runs great, drives better, looks far better than a 10 year old daily driven car normally does. No leaks, no smoke, mechanically sound. I have never had a mechanical issue with the engine...Only things I have had to replace are the cooling fan controller and acceleration sensor. The car was rear-ended on Dec. 25, 2011. Rear bumper cover and right tail light were replaced along with minor pulling of the right rear corner.  

 Quick little mod list that will go with the car is as follows:

Custom Intake
HKS Circle Earth kit
Custom 2.5" catback exhaust 
Evo 8 RS gauge cluster
Custom Bride shift boot

Carbon shift knob
AMS underhood shifter bushings
AMS shifter base bushings
Clutchmasters Stage I clutch
Poly
sway bar bushings
Swift spec-R springs
KYB GR2's
Front strut tower brace (stock)
R1 drill / slot rotors
Ceramic pads
16x7 XXR 002's
Falken rubber (80percent tread)
Depo projectors
Evo IX vortex generator
Short antenna
Hella supertones
25% tint all around
Glowshift Oil psi, A/F, and boost/vacuum gauges
 Kenwood head unit
JBL F&R component speakers
Fosgate Prime R250-1 amp
Sony subwoofer
OEM enclosure
 

I think that's about it as for whats on the car now. Also, stock and aftermarket parts not on the car that I have will go with the car:


OEM cluster, Spare dash trim, OEM springs, OEM seats,
Powerflex roll-stop front mount, DDM Tuning HID kit, and a few other things...

The car does need a few things (expected with older cars) that I have not taken the time to diagnose or repair...sunroof seal (doesn't leak when closed, just ripped), headlights (pass.side spider cracked), driver door lock does not lock with button (no idea why..locks/unlocks with key fine),
Sunroof sometimes acts goofy (opens/closes fine..hangs up..then open/closes fine again), front lip needs to be replaced (looks fine, just broken clips),has few dings, chips, and scratches, Rear defrost does not work (guy that re-tinted window peeled parts of ceramic off the glass), the A/F gauge needs signal wire hooked back up (replaced o2 sensors and didn't re-connect), Oil psi gauge needs new sensor and signal wire (roughly 20 bucks from GlowShift)... not much else.

The mileage listed is not actual mileage. I replaced the OEM gauge cluster with a cluster from a 2003 Lancer Evolution that had more miles listed as my car actually had. I will gladly reinstall OEM cluster and calculate actual mileage on the car if you desire.

 I have too much in this car to let it go dirt cheap...and I feel that I am asking a reasonable price.  I will tell you anything you would like to know about the car..just ask. I will also do my best to provide any specific pictures you may want/need...again, just ask. I will be straight forward about everything on/in this car. I have no hesitations about driving this car anywhere...I recently drove it 12 hours to Cocoa, FL for vacation and would do it again tomorrow if needed.

I have taken great care of this car and have enjoyed every moment of driving it. I still love driving the car..and I do it often. I do not have to sell, as I have another Lancer as my primary vehicle..I am just seeing if anyone wants a reliable, fun car to drive.

 I do have this car listed locally for 6,000 obo...and I will end auction if sold locally. This is a reserve auction, and I will not remove or lower the reserve price unless I see fit.

If I get the full 6,000 dollar asking price, the car will be sold as it sits, with everything and extra parts I have. Any less than 6,000, the Bride seats WILL NOT GO (still have OEM seats and will install) as well as the Aeroforce scan gauge WILL NOT GO). No exceptions.

NHTSA begins inquiry into Mitsubishi fuel economy

Fri, Apr 22 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants to make sure Mitsubishi doesn't falsify fuel economy ratings in the US like the company does in Japan. "We've requested information from Mitsubishi about this issue," a NHTSA spokesperson told Reuters. The person didn't provide details about the specific models the regulator wanted to know more about. At this time, there's no evidence of fuel economy inaccuracies for any North American models. The affected vehicles in Japan so far are 625,000 small kei-class cars, including the Mitsubishi eK, eK Space, Nissan Dayz, and Dayz Roox, which Mitsu produces for Nissan. However, Japanese regulators are taking a closer look at other models and gave the company a week to hand over test data. A newspaper there claims Mitsubishi allegedly used "non-Japanese test methodology" on the RVR, Outlander, Pajero, and Minicab MiEV. NHTSA's look into Mitsubishi comes at the same time the Department of Justice is scrutinizing Daimler for possible emissions anomalies. "Daimler will consequently investigate possible indications of irregularities and of course take all necessary action," the German automaker said in a statement. The company asserts the DOJ's inquiry is unrelated to a lawsuit from owners, which alleges the BlueTec emissions control system is designed to turn off at low temperatures. Related Video:

Employee warned Mitsubishi execs about mileage cheating in 2005

Fri, Aug 5 2016

A damning report from the committee brought in to investigate Mitsubishi's alleged fuel economy fixing scandal has revealed a new employee stepped forward and implored the company to play it straight on its mileage data... Eleven years ago. The employee, identified in the report as F, pushed for honesty during a company workshop in February 2005, The Asahi Shimbun reports. The then-new worker told 20 company officials, including senior members of the performance testing department, that the way Mitsubishi measured fuel economy was different from the way government's method. Instead of acting on F's protests, officials said they had no memory of them, the report claims. The four-person committee, made up of lawyers and industry experts, isn't buying the excuse. "It is difficult to accept their explanations that they have no recollections because a new employee pointing out such a problem must have had a (strong) impact," the report read. But F's comments weren't the only internal sign that Mitsubishi allegedly ignored. In a 2011 questionnaire, multiple employees submitted responses claiming that the company had been falsifying data. But according to the committee's report, Mitsubishi's development department issued a report denying there was even a problem, which the company's execs accepted without question. According to The Asahi Shimbun, Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko revealed that an internal investigation – which also denied F's remarks – acknowledged that the company hadn't followed government rules regarding fuel economy measurements since 1991. "We lacked unity needed to detect problems within the company and to solve them," Masuko-san said, backing up the committee report's claim that the company was divided. "From now on, we need to decide how to change our way of thinking."

Toyota, Mazda drop Takata as Mitsubishi, Subaru weigh options

Sat, Nov 7 2015

It's not a very good time to be Takata right now. Fresh on the heels of longtime partner Honda ditching them, Toyota and Mazda have both come out and said they will not use the company's airbag inflators if they continue to rely on ammonium nitrate. Bloomberg reports that Subaru and Mitsubishi are also contemplating a divorce. "The inflator using ammonium nitrate produced by Takata will not be adopted by Toyota," President Akio Toyoda said during a briefing today. "What's most important above anything else is the safety and peace of mind of customers." Mazda echoed that position, simply saying it "will not use Takata airbag inflators which contain ammonium nitrate in our new cars." When you lose three huge OEM accounts in as many days, it's certainly going to have a deleterious effect on your fortunes. In Takata's case, that's meant a staggering 39-percent drop in their share price over the last three days. Yesterday alone, the company saw a 6.2-percent fall, Bloomberg reports. As the business publication reports, though, Takata isn't going down without a fight. The company is "considering some plans to survive," including a fundraising plan that will see it potentially offer up additional shares for sale. Still, at least one analyst doesn't see whatever company survives staying involved in the airbag inflator business. "I really don't see how they're going to be able to survive as an inflator manufacturer," Valient Market Research founder Scott Upham told Bloomberg. "When your major clients publicly come out and say that they're not going to use your products anymore, it makes this very difficult to sustain your business."
