1995 Mitsubishi RVR from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

"Easily under estimated at the lights.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only thing so far, has been the idle screw slowly vibrated loose. This caused all sorts of confusion when trying to find the problem. Tires scrub out quickly on the fronts.

General comments?

This vehicle is poor on fuel economy and slow to respond on initial take off. But don't be fooled, This vehicle is sure makes up for it when she slips into second gear. A fantastic small family vehicle. The vision is unsurpassed making it very safe to drive. The kids love the roomy back seats and compartments where they keep their books and toys. Excellent climate control. Bit of a head turner. A lot of people ask questions. To combat the fuel problem I am fitting a Three inch Exhaust and see how it goes... Overall thumbs up for this one.

Howdy doo. I am a proud owner of a 1995 SSG RVR, turbo petrol auto. Your right in saying its very underestimated. What I am writing here about is to find out if you know where in Australia I can track down a timing belt, head gasket, also wondering where I can track down some rockers, cos seeing I am doing a full service on it soon, I may as well do everything I can, and if anyone knows where I can manage to track down a set of factory alloys for the RVR it be great. The shooter rims just don't suit a car like this. reply to hartfd@in.com.au.

I own a 1996 RVR Super Sports Gear or SSG for short.

These vehicles have everything that you could wish for in a car and more.

Performance is second to none and it wipes the floor with anything of the same ilk.

Damn shame that they weren't promoted worldwide because they are serious machines in this guise.

2 litre Lancer Evo Turbo engine pushing out 227bhp as standard for the A/T and 247bhp M/T and permanent 4WD, tons of torque,tardis interior with removable and adjustable seats, wonderful vision, climate control, digital compass, bags of storage for the kids, multiple 12v sockets and above all else Mitsubishi reliability.

I'm looking for a Workshop manual, repair guide or service book.

I would even settle for the Russian version if anybody has one and I'll have it translated.

The problem can be the Mass air flow sensor that is between air filter and intake.

I am also looking for that part (E5T06071) for my 1995 RVR.

If anyone can help, just contact me: cvale2005@msn.com.

Best regards.

Hi.

I have an Mitsubishi RVR SportsGear 1995 Model. I have a problem in that it is has no power on acceleration. 1 and 4 cylinders are firing okay, but 2 & 3 have very very weak sparks. My mech checked the coils and the power transistor and they are OK. Could the problem be emanating from the computer box?

Regards.

Hi, I have an 94 RVR Sports Gear. Didn't have it long when I had to replace the motor, so I bought a Mitsubishi Spacewagon. The same motor (rd64). Have a loud hum; could it be the bearing on the driveshaft that is mounted to the block? Any help will do thanks.

THUMBS UP FOR THE RVR
