Hello every one,
Writing from bolivia, south-america!!!!. Heres my story...h.Had a great experience with my 96 galant vr-v6 (7th generation of galants), great car!!! loved the v6 engine, very very reliable, but lacked a little power, made a few trips 400kms each, in winding roads and the car sticked to the pave like flypaper, had Michelins mounted btw. Then I had to sell the car in order to but a newer vehicle for wife...but now, I have the chance of getting a 98 VR4 S-type for about USD$8k with 70k kms on it, certanly this car comes from Asia, since the official Mitsubishi importer for Bolivia never brought a car like this, so my concern is that most likely, the car will be transformed, from right to left steering.....very common down here, also Chile and Peru do this, hopefuly the car is manual transmission, don't realy like automatics, but if it has InvecsII maybe I'll give it a try.....so, heres my first concern....how long does Invecs II take to make a gear change? compared to a manual drive...I did drive a MOntero with automatic and tiptronic, but every time I did a change in the gears it took some 2 to 3 seconds to engage the gear, so when a downshift was required, the lag time was absolutly desperating, specially when trying to pass a large truck or so.
Finally, just want to say that I'm very glad to find a formun like this and hope to contribute a little to it.
