1995 Mitsubishi RVR Super sports gear from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

I have a leaky Exhaust gasket.

This vehicle is incredibly practical. A camping weekend away or a swift trip down the strip, your choices are endless.

It's a performance RV with heaps of space for a small family, a moderate ground clearance, and a strong and reliable 4WD system. Weight is reasonable for its size with the scales tipping 1500kg. Straight line speed is exceptional, then again it does have Mitsubishi's legendary 4G63T mill gifting 170kw to spin the 215x65 15R's, though whilst off boost can return fuel economy that would put most medium cross-overs to shame. And with relatively inexpensive mods can be Quick enough to return 13sec quarter mile times.

There are no real negatives with this unique offering from Mitsubishi, though if you want to go hard around corners, your choosing the wrong car. And as with all vehicles with a higher centre of gravity (particularly quick ones), bury the accelerator, you get under steer, and as the car is getting frighteningly close to the edge of the road, you lift off like mad, and the result will be devastating over steer and most likely a serious crash for the inexperienced. This, along having to change direction quickly to avoid a possible accident are equally detrimental to your health.

I was wondering what the fuel economy is for an RVR as I am thinking about purchasing a Hypergear.

12-13L per hundred kilometres for the hyper-gear off boost.

10L per hundred kilometres for the Super Sport Gear off boost.

What does anyone know about the acquiring of spare parts of this vehicle? I'm hearing that they are compatible with Mitsubishi Galants and thus it is quite easy to obtain parts. Is this true? I'm looking at a Mitsubishi RVR 20 series sportsgear 95 version.

The RVR's basic engine and driveline layout are very similar. Many parts can be carried from the Galant. I haven't had the car for too long though some parts for service were a little more difficult to come by and had to be ordered. Some other vehicle parts may have to be ordered through Mitsubishi. And if you want the thing too go quickly, things like FMIC will need be custom fabrication and fitting, and pro coilovers are really your only option for handling. This car is for individualists and there aren't many around so parts will be less common and more expensive. If you want cheap thrills, you'll have to drive a much more common/less interesting car like Commodore/Silvia or even Corolla (Yawn).
