SOLID!  Great driver! According to the gurus at the '3S enthusiast club' , this should be running +/- 500hp , which is the most you can get with stock ECU and injectors running 14-16 lbs of boost.

Simply accomplished with 13g (up from 9g ) turbos. K&N air filter,  free flow exhaust, hard wired upgraded Denso fuel pump and a Blitz boost controller.  Handling has been improved with quality lower springs and 18 in rims designed specifically for this car. Currently running Pirelli P Zero all season which are remarkably grippy. Upgraded drilled/slotted Powerslot discs with upgraded street/track pads.

  Aftermarket race seats, 3 inch 4 point belts keep you in place. Extra gauges keep you informed and avoid abusing the drive train. Larger Tach with shift lights and rev limiter, true boost gauge, and live fuel mixture display gauge.

     Miles?   Sounds like a lot , however, no accidents, no rust, the unibody is solid.  No weaknesses.  I have never raced the car (no track , autocross, hillclimbs,or dragstrip). I have other cars for that. Used primarily for visiting family requiring long trips. Easily do 1000 miles and be wanting for more. 400 mile range getting 22 mpg at 80mph average. Never hesitate to pass! The drivetrain is solid. newer dealer installed transmission, clutch, transfer case, drive shaft, and recent rebuilt heads, newer front turbo and recent rebuilt rear turbo. No oil leaks or smoke.  Yeah, it's twenty years old but it is a driver and properly maintained. Always quality synthetic oil.

   Cosmetics are not a priority for me. It's a 20 footer. Lots of touch up dabs and several small dents, nothing serious!  Less is more as I removed the aftermarket aluminum rear dual wing that came on the car. 

    Most of these cars were upgraded poorly and abused. This one is for enjoying on the street. With all the branding blocked out people always wonder what kind of car it is. The bright Caracas red

 leads a lot of people to think expensive exotic  .  I briefly badged the car like a Ferrari, not missing a detail. Most of the pics are from then. Now removed, all the bits and pieces are available.

No mistake buying this one.........

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Quick Spin Review | Why doesn't everyone make one of these?

Mon, Apr 30 2018

The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV took a remarkably long time to get to the United States. It went on sale in Europe in 2013, and was originally planned to come to America the year after, but didn't arrive until late in 2017. Mitsubishi was also fortunate that, in the time it took to finalize the American model, the entry-level competition remained primarily sedans and sedan-like hatchbacks, with the exception of the Niro PHEV, a crossover smaller than Outlander, and closer to a traditional hatchback. So the question is, was it worth the wait, and is it worth considering against other plug-in hybrids? A mostly frugal and very smooth powertrain The big appeal of the Outlander PHEV is of course its plug-in hybrid powertrain. It comprises a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and two electric motors, one up front, one in the rear. This powertrain can function in three different ways. There's full electric mode, series hybrid mode (the gas engine acts like a generator, and propulsion is handled solely by the electric motor), and parallel hybrid (a clutch engages the engine to the front motor for additional propulsion assist). The Outlander switches automatically between these operational schemes depending on drive mode settings. For example, with a full charge you can press a button to keep it in EV mode, at least as long as there's enough battery power. Two other buttons can allow you to save the battery charge for use later, such as in town after a highway drive, and a charge button to replenish the battery level while driving. Because of this powertrain layout, the Outlander PHEV drives much like an all-electric car most of the time. It's nearly silent except when the engine kicks on, or when accelerating or decelerating hard. In the case of the latter, you can pick up a faint, futuristic whir from the motors. It feels very smooth thanks to a lack of transmission shifts. The throttle is responsive since there's no CVT adjusting ratios or a torque converter making responses a little slushy. And of course there's the instant torque that all electric motors provide, which makes the Outlander spunky around town. You can even adjust the strength of the battery regeneration by putting it from "D" for drive into "B." Then you can set the strength via the steering wheel paddles. Also impressive is the fact that the powertrain is still quite smooth and quiet when the engine fires up.

Mitsubishi to showcase Outlander PHEV Concept-S in Paris

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is rumored to finally come to the US next fall as a 2016 model. In the meantime, the Japanese brand is showing off a concept for an Outlander plug-in at the Paris Motor Show in October with a massive improvement in styling and material quality that the automaker calls the "Sporty and Sophisticated" design theme.
With just a nip and a tuck, Mitsubishi's stylists have made the Outlander PHEV look a whole lot better. Instead of the narrow, squinting look of the current model, the concept shows a more vertical design that puts a big X right on the front end. In the center, there is an updated version of the horizontal grille leading to reshaped headlights. The big changes are found somewhat lower, with an air dam that is much better integrated thanks to black and chrome accents to draw the eye. The company claims that the rear gets similar upgrades with new lights and shining trim running across the tailgate.
The improved styling gets carried inside, as well. According to Mitsubishi, the design features black wood grain trim and silver accents throughout the cabin, and the center console is inspired by Japanese black lacquer boxes. The seats are also covered in hand-stitched leather with horizontal ribs.

Japan calls Ghosn's escape inexcusable and vows tighter immigration checks

Sun, Jan 5 2020

TOKYO — Japan's justice minister on Sunday called the flight of former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn as he awaited trial on financial misconduct charges inexcusable and vowed to beef up immigration checks. Justice Minister Masako Mori said she had ordered an investigation after Ghosn issued a statement a few days ago saying he was in Lebanon. She said there were no records of Ghosn's departure from Tokyo. She said his bail has been revoked, and Interpol had issued a wanted notice. Departure checks needed to be strengthened to prevent a recurrence, Mori said. While expressing deep regret over what had happened, Mori stopped short of outlining any specific action Japan might take to get Ghosn back. Japan does not have an extradition treaty with Lebanon. “Our nationÂ’s criminal justice system protects the basic human rights of an individual and properly carries out appropriate procedures to disclose the truth of various cases, and the flight of a suspect while out on bail is never justified,” she said in a statement. MoriÂ’s statement was the first public comment by a Japanese government official after the stunning escape of Ghosn, once a superstar of the auto industry. Tokyo prosecutors issued a similar statement Sunday. They had opposed Ghosn's release on bail, arguing he was a flight risk. First arrested in November 2018, Ghosn was out on bail over the last several months, and more recently had moved into a home in an upscale part of Tokyo. He has repeatedly said he was innocent. His statement from Beirut said he was escaping injustice. Japan's justice system has come under fire from human rights advocates for its long detentions, the reliance on confessions and prolonged trials. The conviction rate is higher than 99%. Even if Ghosn had been found innocent, the prosecutors could have appealed, and the appeals process could have lasted years. Ghosn's trial was not expected to start until April at the earliest. During that time, he had been prohibited from seeing his wife, and was only allowed a couple of video calls in the presence of a lawyer. Ghosn had been charged with underreporting his future compensation and breach of trust in diverting Nissan money for his personal gain. Although the details of his escape are not yet clear, Turkish airline company MNG Jet has said two of its planes were used illegally, first flying him from Osaka, Japan, to Istanbul, and then on to Beirut, where he arrived Monday and has not been seen since.
