      Clutches are different even in the same car depending on wear, etc. It takes more than 10 feet to get the feel for one you've never used before. Especially when your trying to be careful and not launch the thing into the back of a trailer. I would almost guarantee that truck is a manual. Still pretty funny though.

    • @tonebebop7656
      @tonebebop7656 6 років тому +1

      Have you driven one? Most people can't even put it in reverse or push in the clutch. I remember after using it for a year, I jumped into my other car and it felt like I was going to put my foot threw the firewall when pushing in a normal clutch.

      @@tonebebop7656 I got used to mine pretty quick and it's my first manual vehicle. I also don't drive it too often. I will say, on mine at least, the clutch has a lot of travel before it actually bites. Like pretty much to the floor. Might need adjustment.

      I have an SL aswell, it was given to me by my uncle, sat in a garage for 3 years, needs new oil change, brakes and tires. I will use it to get a job and save up for a 95 VR-4, either I will sell the SL, or keep it and let it gather more dust.

      When you guys in the states get your 25 year limit removed from importing JDM cars, you'll realize that these VR4s, JZA80s and BNR32s etc are like civics over in Japan, they go for dirt cheap over there. The domestic versions become nothing special once you see the RHD cars flood the local market. The USDM value of stuff with a shared chassis over here drops overnight like MKIV Supras, 3000gts, Z32TTs, you can get one of these RHD JDM versions landed here for anywhere between $5k and $15k CDN depending on auction grade, mileage and mods.It's inevitable you'll all get the flood of JDM cars like we did here in Canada in the early 2ks. It's a good thing he sold this Mitsu before that phase comes.

    Regarding your question about the AUX input for that year. Discman and MiniDiscman were portable (Sony) options back then.

  • @slippercream
    @slippercream 6 років тому

    Came across this just now. Man, what a beautiful car. I'd have fought tooth and nail to keep it if thrust into that situation - even if I had to have 1/4 less house!
    LOL,WTH. I get into it with the wife each time I talk about getting another one (or she gripes for me to get rid of even just one!) I can only imagine what it's like to get rid of such a rare beauty. I'm sorry to say this, my Evo kin - but THIS is the true Mitsubishi halo car that, sadly, died too young on the vine. The Evo is something else entirely, and I don't think anyone would question that.
