so whats the plans for that other GH you bought

Im going to Orange tomorrow to get it, i'll be using a few trim bits and the boot lid off it for 197, and i'll put the stuff from 197 back on the white car, it will still be a tidy unit so i might put my turbo rims on it and let the missus drive it around

I never seen that on any other sigma turbo.

It was dealer fitted as it was a display car (not a demo) in a WA Mitsubishi show room

Im pretty sure they came with a quoted 115-118KW, and reading the manual at 20Degrees BTDC

But a higher flow exhaust, some boost, amd alittle tweaking will net you alot more.


Not forgetting from factory they had to tune them for economy, long lasting, and for drivabilty.

some simple mods and tweaking and you should pick up some easy KWs
Let us know what you end up with!!

Yeah cheers Jason I dont suppose you'd have any left :P

I'll pass on the hug thanks ghuphill lol

And yes she has gone to a very good home, i was worried about what might happen to her but after meeting the new owner and seeing the standard of their other cars I have no doubt that she will be just fine and with time even finer :thumpsup:
