Title: New motor
Post by: Eklipze3k on November 22, 2011, 09:50:12 AM

Well I've been hanging around for the last couple of years since I had to get rid of FUT :cry: trying to convince myself that I wanted another 126, and to be honest I still do, but right now the Seicento needs so much work doing to it that I felt I needed a workhorse rather than another project, so let me introduce you to Toshimichi - a JDM (Imported) 2002 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini - 660cc Turbo (because everyone knows, sub-1liter is best :D)

Looks quite nice. I know Japanese cars are ultra reliable which is why our daily car is a Japanese car as well (Honda). Will parts and servicing be an issue being an imported vehicle?

Thanks :)

Have had a look around and certainly all the service parts seem to be readily available, even turbos if mine goes! Body panels will be a problem of course but I bought it from a dealer who deal only in imported Jap motors, so they have contacts over there if there is anything I need. :)

Snap I just bought a mitsubishi pajero junior it has a 1090 engine no turbo.  It was imported in january 11 and is a 1997.  The guy said it was in showroom condition with 61,000 miles and he was not far wrong.  Went to Rye to pick it up last weekend 480 miles away drove home ok. Just waiting on the snow for some fun.

What is that thing at the rear? It is not big enough in size to hold the spare wheel?
