1995 Mitsubishi RVR Super Sports Gear review from Australia and New Zealand

"A great buy for 12k"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well Well, what can I say. I had the thing for 3 days and the transmission failed on me. However, it was on its way out. More than likely because of the previous owner. Not to worry, it cost a little over a grand to get fixed, not to mention the month long search to find the right gear box for it!

The wheel bearings started to make noises at about 110,000kms. So, I had them replaced. They were quite east to find.

I think now the head gasket is on its way out, it seems to be leaking dribbles of oil, but only after a hard drive, so I will be replacing that to.

Spark plugs and leads will be replaced in the next 5000kms, I pulled a plug out the other day and it was quite dirty, so they are getting replaced.

And last, but not least, is the timing belt is due to be changed soon, and I need to find one, so if anyone knows of where I can get one, please comment on this review.

General comments?

For sure this car exceeds its looks, but its the little things that bring it down.

There is no way I am going to bag the car though, its great.

The room in the back is amazing!! You can fold back the front and back seats to make a sort of double bed.

Some on played with my car in Japan I think and added a bit of woodgrain to it. The gear changer, steering weel (by momo) and all around the air con vents have woodgrain edging! Quite nice indeed!!
