1979 Mitsubishi Scorpion gj review from Australia and New Zealand
"Performance car for cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch and pressure plate were in pretty bad condition when I bought it so that cost me a few dollars, but that's all that has mainly gone wrong plus a few sets of rear tyres.
General comments?
The car is pretty quick for a 2.6 litre, pumping a nice 83kw from standard, they also do good burn-outs. the handling is alright with a comfortable three and a half turns from lock to lock, it also has the bonus of four wheel disc brakes.
