1996 Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear Long Wheel Base
Odometer: 126,000km
Transmission: Selectable 4WD automatic
Engine: 3.0L V6 Gasoline
This van was imported into Canada July 1st 2020. All lighting
modifications were carried out for DOT inspection including DRL Module, L400
Headlamps DOT, Red corner reflectors, and Amber corner reflectors.
The transmission was flushed as well as the following engine
maintenance:
Oil change, replacement of the air filter, fuel filter, timing belt,
timing belt idler, timing belt tensioner pulley, timing belt hydraulic
tensioner, water pump assembly, thermostat, valve cover gasket, spark plug tube
seals, camshaft end cap plug o’ring, camshaft seal, water pipe o’ring, water
housing gaskets, Upper Intake Manifold Gasket, Coolant Expansion Tank / Coolant
Recovery Tank, radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, Power Steering / Air
Conditioning tensioner pulley, A/C pulley replacement bearing, spark plugs and
wire set, PCV valve, Alternator Belt, Power Steering Belt, A/C belt, and
battery.
Removed and replaced both upper ball joints, right inner and right outer
tie rod ends, right side rack boot, left outer tie rod end, front brake pads,
rotors and hoses, rear trailing arm bushes, rear sway bar mounting bushes, rear
pads and rotors, serviced calipers, and installed heavy duty springs in rear.
Mounted, balanced new BFGoodrich KO 2 245 x 75 x 16 tires and did wheel
alignment. New 26" all season wiper blades on front and 16" wiper
blade on rear.
There was a slight suspension lift done before the import and I do not
have any details of that modification but it gives the van a higher clearance
than other stock Delica’s. Along with the lift there was the additional of
fender flares that also necessitated an aftermarket swing arm on the sliding
door to bypass the extra width of the flares. There are some small rust spots
on the sliding door and rear hatch. A Lubrico warranty was purchased with the
van in 2020 and all oil changes and maintenance were done in accordance with
the warranty for the duration of the warranty which expired in July 2023.
The rear seats have all been removed to accommodate a bed and storage as
this vehicle was used primarily for overlanding/camping in the Kootenay region
of British Columbia. There was a Kenwood 3u Stereo installed at the time of
purchase which has a large display and when accompanied by aftermarket apps
like Gaia, and a product such as a Garmin inReach, allows you to have access to
map layers and know where you are at all times. It supports Apple Carplay. If
this isn’t your intended use the seats can be sourced and installed before
purchase for an additional fee.
