Which turbo car?

Dust · 02-08-2008

Got some decisions to make. Shopping for my next vehicle, and have kinda come down to two choices or so

Mitsu Pajero

Wagon R RR

Starlet Glanza V

Purchase price is about the same. 50K KM on the RR, 80K on the Glanza and about 150K on the Pajero. The Pajero will cost about $1000 more a year to have than the RR, and the Starlet about 500.

So which would you choose?

Need you even ask

Mitsu Pajero way more options and parts and aftermarket as well.

If you looking for ecconomy the Wagan R RR, I love those darn micro machines in Japan.

Any info on the 4gj2 in a Bighorn or Mu Devil?

dvldoc · 03-21-2008

I will be testing one of those today in the PI they already have the kit installed. I'll let you know.

Dust · 03-21-2008

get some pics for me, and a mod list.

Any news on the Mu? Insurance is twice as expensive for the Mu, so it's out, I'm now down to the RR, the 1000CC version of it, or a Starlet.

Didn't see your request for pics until after. They are some nice rides for sure. With the alcohol injection on it has some good get up and go compared to stock. Nice riding SUV as well and a good interior.

But they are pricey.

No worries on the pics. Looks like it's down to 2 kei's and a 1000cc car. Manual test didn't go too well. The instructor had something crammed sideways up his you know what. Kinda wished it was my foot after he talked to me like I was a stupid child.

Used car searching | Car Portal site Goo-net

Car has been bought. Decided to get something that may still sell in a few years. Pretty clean on the inside. Boost guage, keyless/TT/remote start, and maybe a M1 on the IC and an M1 or 2 after the TMIC is the plan.

That is awsome, I love those things, I want something small like that for the PI but they are hard to find in turbo form. I used to see those all the time when I was in Kadena.
