1993 Mitsubishi Diamante ES review from North America
"A reasonably quick car for a reasonably inexpensive price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rack and Pinion went out. $750 to replace.
Burns oil a little bit.
A mesh exhaust pipe rusted out. So I put a whole new Magnaflow exhaust on it.
General comments?
Car is quite fast for a 3.0 V6.
Handles very well in corners.
Still running strong at 177000 miles.
I have 17 inch rims on it.
I put a cold air intake on it.
I replaced the old battery with a new Optima 6 pack battery.
I have NKG brand spark plugs and Taylor wires.
I put 35% tint on the windows and a Mitsubishi symbol in 15% tint on the back two windows.
