I've only ever owned Magnas, I cant get enough of them, I don't know what it is... very, very under rated cars.
I hear ya. On my 3rd, tj manual wagon with the 380 engine, I'm never getting rid of it!!
@@marca907
Only thing I don't like about my TJ is the turning circle, they don't so much turn, more orbit.
What rims are they?I've got verada 2003 absolutely amazing,,woodgrain interior, awd,beautiful,,,just need a nice rim but can't find any
@@blyndrotor
Think it's part of the reason they are so good at handling though.
Almost like it encourages a one handed steer without the need for the skill set😁
Second magna, v6 this time
Love the beasts
Also my second car 😂🤙🏽
You basically nailed the Diamante (Magna/Verada) owners life. Rock up to the parts shop "ugh why didn't you get an EVO" "ugh why don't you trade it for an Eclipse". It's such a versatile vehicle, decent performance to take to a track, economic as a daily driver for cruising around town, and comfortable enough ride for long distance journeys.
It truly is the underrated model of Mitsubishi. You can have your flashy rally spec Evo or your sideways happy Eclipse, I'll stick with my diamond in the rough!
Ratel.H Badger
So true your word's bro.
The TE-TW had a aerodynamic co-efficiency of 0.28 & fuel economy could go to as little as 6.5L per 100km despite only needing 91 octane in manual model's.
Plus they had the most powerful NA V6 on the market at the time.
Alot of the Ralliart Magna's actually made 210kw as a NA V6, Mitsubishi couldn't disclose it though; as they didn't meet emissions regulations with that set up.
I still think they supplied them for review's though, Autospeed put one against a Subaru WRX STI & the Ralliart Magna killed it in a straight line according to them.
you can buy 6 magnas instead of one evo too. Cant find a manual here though.
@@Michael-lg4wz
It's not really necessary which transmission you get because the auto Gbox in a AWD Magna is the same as the one in the EVO VII GTA.
Same with FWD model's too.
So it is immensely tunable.
You can add launch control by tuning it to stall it for a harder launch to 4500rpm.
Shift's can be tuned to be lightning sharp & fast.
You can add equipment to vastly improve durability like a transmission cooler etc.
It's a versatile AWD car model, much lighter than a Mitsubishi GTO for example despite having similar tuning potential.
Yeah, or just get a Camry
@@m.b.82 The one I get lately is... Why didn't you buy a Galant VR4... Cos I don't have 20k to spend on a 20 year old car.
that's what being into cars is about "you don't have to love all cars, love your own car" well said!
I’ve seen some beautiful Magna’s over the years, it’s good to see people are recognising just how good they are
and then swap the motor from a 380 into them, =/.
What an awesome Magna, I'd love to own a ralliart or engine swapped one like this. I used to have a TJ VRX 5 speed manual that was lowered and had an exhaust, it was an amazing car, one of my favourites, so much torque even from the 3,5 whenever you want it and sounded great reving out to the redline. I used to beat xr6s and sv6s in a straight line and it was amazing in those exact roads around the Yarra Valley. Since I sold it I missed the magna's, such underrated cars that people don't give respect because they are not rwd.
The TJ series VRX/Ralliart were awesome looking car's with a very aggressive stance, aerodynamic co-efficiency was the best in the class at 0.28 & probably still is.
It's not easy to make a car look good while having impressive aerodynamics, but it was accomplished.
I still think the 5 210kw Ralliart Magna's are still the quickest car in it's class if you swap the full size spare tyre kit for a flat tyre repair kit like the new competition model's do & put newer performance tyres on the front, weight goes down by 30kg+ with increased grip level's after all; this also applies with the TJ Sport/VRX.
It wasn't the torque that made them quick, it was weight; most of the review's were pointing out that they were significantly lighter than the competition with the TJ Sports being over 120kg lighter than the next lightest car in the class.
The first serious competitor they had was the VZ SV6 with it's 190kw & 340nm NA 6 engine in comparison to the Ralliart Magna's 180kw & 333nm NA 6, but the Ralliart Magna weighed 1470kg while the VZ SV6 weighed roughly 1600kg; a 130kg difference & the Ralliart Magna isn't equipped with a flat tyre repair kit like the VZ SV6 is to reduce weight.
I think the result is painfully obvious.
But yeah, weight goes down by roughly 10kg with the 380 engine swap while power goes to 160kw atw; the Ralliart Magna made 140kw atw stock.
It's being put into a car that is about 200kg+ lighter than the 380 after all, power & torque atw's will rise when their is less mass for the engine to work with.
it's bloody good to see the magna guys show off there stuff outside of forums a facebook groups. these dudes put so much work into there cars and it's good that other people get to see. it's the best bunch of guys, and i'm proud to be apart of it!
We've always been around. It's just only now the rest of the car community is starting to appreciate what we've known the whole time. They can finally see passed what it's not, and see what it IS!
if these cars were released 10 years later then what they were these would be everywhere sutch an underrated car that deserves more credit
I’m picking up a Ke verada and the first time I drove it I didn’t want to stop
Probably one of the best handling cars I’ve owned. Around corners like a roller coaster.
The Ralliart Magna & TJ Magna Sport AWD Supercharged model really were the best handling car's of their time on the Australian market in this category.
The Ralliart Magna especially, it won the Australian motorkhana on release.
That's pretty sick what you guys do in Australia with those Magna's! Here in the states we put those engines in our Eclipses cuz those engines are just wonderful! I plan on buying an Eclipse here in the states again sometime and hopefully swap in the 3.5L too! Awesome build man
The all wheel drive was the best 👌
We call these Diamantes down here in the states friend! Nice ride my friend! :)
I had a TJ Magna Sport. I bought it not because I wanted it, because I had a car written off by hail and a mate working in a yard got it cheap for me and said they were good. It was a good car. Went very well, quiet, easy to drive.
I surprised more than a few Commodores and Falcons with it. That 3.5L was a great engine. In 2010 I hired a new Falcon on a holiday in NZ and while it had loads of power, it was a lazy motor that you really had to wake up to get moving. The Magna delivered straight away when you put your foot down. I wished I had it in NZ on that holiday.
"To get it where it is today"
Has gaffa tape on the intake pipe and visible screws holding the bumper together!
I absolutely love the Magna/Veradas.
I’ve got a stock 2004 Verada Xi, and a 2000 model Magna with same 3.8 swap as this one, it has a Ralliart manual lsd too.
I love how much it upsets the v8 boys lol
I'm actually dumb... I only just realised 4 years on after "finding" Rex last year. That I actually watched this video when it was released and loved it..... WOW IM SLOW!
I'm a magna lover and no shit! This is exactly what I want out of a magna 150% front to back even the tl/tw dash and center console
I love that you put a 6G75 in it!
Thanks Paul!
Full mod list in the description :)
Man , great car !!! Respect ! Write to you from cold Russia. Could you help me to fing manual gearbox from magna or verada 6g72 models. Try to made manual mivec 6g72 model . Thanks !
I love Mitsubishi and mate you have done a great job on this Magna.
I’ve never owned a Magna but I’ve driven a few. Great cars. I loved this one.
Live in Melbourne and I need a rear muffler for an 2004 AWD Verada. Help. Agree with everything you said.. Service them and they last forever. A mate rolled one and came out ok Hearing what had happened from the Ambos a knowledgeable Doctor with a grin on his face. "Son you where either in Merc Volvo or a Magna. Only three :);)cars that could have stood up to what you've done. All my kids are in Magnas" :) Thanks immensely for your video
Such great cars. Looks awesome in beige. Have owned a metallic sienna red 07/2000 TJ Sports (Magna variant) as my daily driver for many years, but it is mostly unmodified with original engine (6G74 3.5L) and auto and no peeling clear coat in the paint job apart from the top of the rear bumper. But yeah, a great cruiser for the highway. The Verada did not come with manual transmission, but of course all cars can be converted to manual and/or 6G75.
Great job. I wanted a 5 speed 380 but there geared so LOW. Settled on an auto. Toolangi is a magical place for a drive. Don't drive as fast as you but still enjoy my Mitsubishi SO much.
I'm from Perth and this was my first car when i was 21 in 2014. Except it was a stock v6. 3.5L. Loved it but the fuel consumption is why i decided to sell it and buy a Mitsubishi lancer.
They are good on fuel bro, they can fetch as little as 6.5L per 100km in sedate driving.
They were the leader's in their field after all.
6.5km!? How haha what speed are you going? I have a Magna VR TW 5 speed auto Wagon and lowest it gets is 11.8l per 100km and that's being a granny most of the time!?.. it has the 3.5l V6
You might want to get your Air flow sensor cleaned and check your fuel pressure checked. I was getting around 8L/100K in the TH 3.5 Manual Sedan. Average about 600 - 700 to the tank. My TJ Sports 3.5 Auto is about 600 to a tank. No way can I get 6.5 per hundred but around 7.8 - 8.2 per 100 is average I think. Also, you might want to do the fuel rack upgrade.. Simple and cheap to do for a bit more power and better fuel economy.
I do love my 2003 series 2 Verada. Apparently you can bolt on a lot of the better 380 parts too!
God that car is gorgeous.
I love this car, nice job with the upkeep on this beast mate
Man great car and review. Love the magna, got a s2 tj ralliart auto and have been tossing up doing a 6g75 conversion for a while but happy with mine atm love the tail lights too.
Having worked in both Holden and Mitsubishi assembly plants, the Mitsubishi was the better build quality.
It's great Paul, congrats on getting this far with the build.
Was a huge fan of the KJ Verada GTV, here's hoping you'll get the spoiler put on too.
I always loved these and if these came out RWD like Commodores or Falcons they would have been so much better than either of them. I would love a Ralliart though.
Well they came out with AWD starting from 2003, which included a supercharged model.
Which is superior to RWD.
@@brantleyfoster021 well aware of all that obviously but the vast majority were FWD.
@@alfaholic3
As long as you get the TJ series AWD model Magna Sports 2003.
They are still light weight in comparison to Falcon's or Commodore's.
They weighed 1600kg.
But the thing you have to keep in mind is the competition were equipping flat tyre repair Kit's to reduce weight since the VE & FG went beyond 1700kg.
If you equip that model AWD Magna with a flat tyre repair kit, weight drops by about 30kg to 1570kg range as it won't work unless you remove the boot floor carpet & wooden masonry board.
Makes the boot look better like that too because it splashes the exterior paint colour into the boot.
Some came Supercharged too with 226kw & 422nm weighing 1570kg, it's almost the same spec's as the GTO but with significantly less weight, better Aerodynamics & no turbo lag.
But just to be technical, some came with wilder cam's & compression ratio that boosted power by 30kw & 20nm+ for 256kw & 450nm.
People are popping in the EVO's 5 speed gearbox into them since it's the most durable transmission Mitsubishi designed, reduces weight by 80kg in doing so.
But just consider the auto transmission too, it's the same auto Gbox as the EVO VII GTA, so you can add launch control & the shift's can be made to be much sharper/faster for a baby GTR.
Can also add the TJ series Ralliart or VRX bodykit to it too, just for a nicer look.
I own a s2 ralliart and have been contemplating converting too a 3.8 or 6g75 for a while but for now it is awesome. It is my second car ive ever owner first was a tj exec and was gonna do some mods to it but found this ralliart for good price minus the rear wind and havent looked back. Spent A LOT on repairs as any car would but being a 17 yo car you can imagine.
Grant Levey
Just upgrade the cam's & tune the ECU to run on 98 octane bro.
You should pick up about 30kw+.
Mits-Fix in Vic do postage of the cam's, look them up online & call them.
Alot of Ralliart Magna's came with them from the factory so they are very reliable.
It will be worth more like that too, but you can also adjust the transmission shifts to be quicker, change the stall converter to get launch control & add the EVO X paddle shifters for easier shifts.
I was doing some info digging and I saw this
To me, these are great Aussie cars. 👍
I recently purchased a mitsubishi diamante sei (equivalent to the ke verada) and im thoroughly enjoying it owned falcons owned commos and actually had a ts magna wagon once upon a time but ive never experienced a magna 6 and i gave accidentally fallen in love 😅 currently on the hunt for a manual box from an n/a gto as i suspect my auto box doesnt have a whole lotta life left in it and may as well make it what i want feeling everyones pain about the turning circle too 🥴
Some rather good technology in the Diamante's.
They have that cylinder shutting technology like in the Hemi's, you can shut off cylinder's to improve fuel economy.
Mitsubishi Australia should've left some of this technology in place I think.
Such a sweet ride...
so essentially if you put the transmission and motor from a 380 into a magna, you can make a magna seem good. i like it.
Maybe easier just to get a 380😅.
Wicked car!
Sadly I feel less original now, right down to the colour your car is the finished product of what I'm doing.
Great job! The magna / veradas are to heavily underrated.
Woukd to chat to you regarding some of the interior changes you've made. If you'd be willing to share with another magna fan.?
Brilliant car, mate. Good job.
OHHHHHH I just realised it's Mitsubishi Australia's answer to the BMW M3. Just look at the headlights, grill and the rear lights of the verada model.
Hell mate I dont dislike em. I've never driven one but theres an AWD one for sale locally.
Is yours AWD or 2WD?
Nice car mate, BUT PLEASE fix the clear coat on the roof.. :( ruins the whole look.. otherwise mint
Shreda125 Hilux wrap it?
nes suno yeah thats an ok fix.. but really only temporary.. and covering it up.. I would still be annoyed feeling its still under the wrap.. the best is a real perfect fix with a clear coat or paint redo.. i mean all that work to make it mint.. why not?
@@shreda125hilux7 no way bruh, that type of 'mod' is worth more than the entire car
My first car was a TJ sports manual and it use to beat v8's and even once a rb25tt stagea. Besides the handling the thing was a beast! really really good bang for buck car but be ready to tackle some oil leaks and god forbid you have to do a water pump! Had upgraded sway bars which kept snapping control arms but who knows what a good set of coilovers would do! Either way a great bang for buck car
got two Verada's same year as . hope to build something similar . have the lowered upgraded suspension 17's already time to start thinking basic engine mods
What's the roof spoiler?
Also my question,,,I need one too
Great looking car 👌
the driver with grey hoody is so handsome
Nice videography man
thanks :)
Do a video about the Mitsubishi Sigma / Diamante. I would love it!
Mr. Paper Craft I bought a sigma after 19 years looking for one.
The Sigma turbo was not bad.
But I have to concead that the Mitsubishi Cordia turbo was quicker.
It was quicker than the Mitsubishi Starion turbo.
The Group A Starion turbo was probably the best though, Mitsubishi was throwing so much money at it to make it the best RWD car in it's class.
I think they did, the only car that I thought was better was the Porsche 924 turbo, but that was roughly twice the money.
never late in a 3.8!
I love magnas, deep down, much better than an equivelent holden or ford of the day only issue.... not rwd.... still a better car though
Well they had AWD as part of the production line up.
@@brantleyfoster021 they sure did but all auto
@@TURBOTRISTO
You can just add launch control & make the shift's sharper & quicker.
AWD Magna's were equipped with the worst tyres available, put on some Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyre's & those massive brakes will become Incredible.
Tbh, the FWD Magna's are quicker once you know how to drive it properly though; they have been using them quite successfully in the IPRA for decade's.
@@TURBOTRISTO
Watch this & watch the worked NA 6G75 V6 powered FWD Magna pull away from the worked BMW V8 down Conrod straight at Bathurst:

Hey, I'm just wondering, where did you get the headlights, I'd love to get a set for my VR-X spec Magna
I owned a VRX, i loved that car. I think you could of done a bit more making it look the part, also the spray-painted calipers look pretty average.
llove this .
2:14 - "My standard is pretty high".... nek minnut, duct tape holding the intake piping on.... lol
Also, paint those calipers!
NICE
I have one of these as a first car and I want to make it more my style
holy shit i NEED those tail lights
Pretty sure those are usdm Diamanté tails
Been a while since I’ve seen this one around 👌🏽
just read 11.8 economy , I get about 7.2 each and every time I leave town . have the 3.5 V6 and the heavier Verada .
Love the car, Magna all day.
Host is ghastly lol
This is a beauty I own a tf 3.0l 5 speed manual and it’s awesome chops most things in my town 😂 what brand suspension does this have?
Dakoda Mclennan
The modifications are in the discription
What are the head light eyelids from? Does anyone know?
I no its a long shot but Have a question about the back widow shade do u remember where u got that from im looking for one to put on my te Mitsubishi magna sedan
Awesome car! But I’m sorry I have 1 complaint. That bonnet, the fitment is horrible. Please fix it..

Loads of Torque i bet!
I'm in America and would like to get information on how to mivec 3.8 my diamante 2001
I have a 1999 mitsubishi verada
hey my dad has a 2012 Camry altise, should I install i ebay muffler and turbo and when will your Camry get a turbo
Get a Ronin-S as part of your camera equipment, they will increase your already good production quality!!!
i'd love to! just gotta save up haha
Hey man where those headlights hard to do?
How do you go about doing the tl/tw magna center dash/climate control and cluster into a th/kh/tj/kj and how is the speedo working? I'm guessing it's had a tl/tw dash loom swap
All good I read the Mods list..
Full tj S2 loom swap and tl/tw loom is the same a tj S2 👍
"180kw Flash tune adapted by Matt@Evolve Racetech"

What cv shafts do you use? Are they magna shafts?
Lol every second Thursday 🤣 your centrelink payment clears to top up your fuel bro, nice shirt by the way must get the ladies hot lol
Hey mate where you get your headlights :)
Hey, where can I buy those headlights? Or what it's name. I like them
Where did you get the roof spoiler?please

Guy obviously not thrilled by speed, then what, front wheel drive oversteer?
Hey mate where did you get ypur head light?
Speaking of engine swaps, K20 YOUR MR2 !!
I wish I had the money to hahahha
That's choice. Would love to convert my 03 GTV to a manual
Where did you get your headlights
I am from the USA and cannot get my head around "Ozzy" car culture. You like family sedans and name them Veranda? I have no clue but lucky i live in the US where we do everything pretty much at the best level in the world from our GDP all the way down to car tuning where i have a fully tuned EVO that is light years ahead of this veranda
Like you said, you have no clue. 🤷♂️
This is known as a Verada.
They were a budget luxury car on release.
It wasn't designed for performance or as a family sedan.
Although have seen some sick build's doing the rounds due to the motor they contain, really they were designed for luxury not performance.
I'm contemplating a station wagon conversion to a 4wd with a vrx does anyone here know of anyone who has done similar?
Headlight tutorial?
👍👍👍
The TJ sports has the 3.5L 6Age and I flog my mates 380 or day

TJ Sports comes with the 6G74 motor
can anyone recommend me where to get my magna tuned up in New South Wales please asap
Timothy Stewart
I think it will be a matter of calling the right places for part's bro.
Mits-Fix in Vic do postage of their upgrades, just have to get a local mechanic to get them put on when they arrive.
Mitsi-Bit's in SA also do alot of upgrades, give them a call & tell them what you want so they can send it out to you.
Look up their contact details online.
What kind of Magna do you have & what upgrades are you wanting?
Mad as fuk
💪👍👍👍
Background music name?
It would be good to put a 3.0ltr 6g72 twin turbo V6 in an AWD magna.
Just Twin Turbo the 3.5 6G74, you'll get more power.
would it be worth swaping a low km 94 auto magna with a 380 engine and manual gear box? Can anyone tell me roughly how much it would cost?
Why not just get a low km 380 manual. Would be cheaper too, plus newer car??
The 94 is the previous generation of magna, which is quite different and smaller car than this one. I don't think the 380 engine/box would fit. Better to look for a later magna or 380 with a manual. They improved a lot about the car in the 380 but it also made it heavier so it's no faster than the previous Magnas.
@@iamezza thanks yeah i really like my magna but it just lacks a bit of power and the suspension is a bit too soft around corners shame because at the end of the day it's not worth spending lots of money on to make a performance car.. i will still keep it for many years but instead save my money for Japanese turbo or a aussie 6 or 8
I definitely recommend a 380 engine conversion.
You would be looking at $5 grand for a brand new engine.
I don't recommend a 380 manual transmission as you can't install a LSD due to it being too large for the floor pan.
Just switch to a regular Magna transmission - you can equip it with a CH Lancer short shifter & I recommend a Wavetrac LSD to eliminate torque steer & to make the best use of the power on offer.
You can do a NA 300kw+ build using a 4.2L forged piston build on the 380 motor - it can handle much higher revs up to 8000rpm.
Equip it with D2 racing coilovers, Grippy Michelin tyres on the front & polyurethane mounts for a weapon.
@@brantleyfoster021 Can you recommend a shop that would do all this?
I've got 2000 VRX Magna I just got, looking to modify. Where did you get alot of your parts from? I'm finding that there aren't many places that make them. Would love to chat if you got the time, Just flick me an email.
