18R-C

 

Just putting it out there.

 

are these in 1980 hilux? with a air pump?

 

if so

 

+1

holden 202 engines lasts forever but even with major modification still slow and thirsty as anything

 

+1. Although Mines mildly modded and isnt really slow.

 

I know the Astrons are getting slammed but we owned an 83 skidma with a 2.6 Astron/3spd auto. After 5yrs, 1 minor service, Boat towing, a few big circle work sessions and multiple outtings for bunny bashin/ shooting. It still ran as good as it ever did.

.....whats that 7m's!? :| :D

 

+1

 

tell me about it.........

aside from that still a good donk, I'm my opinion anyway

I bought a Skoda back in nz for 40 bucks. Think it was a 73, had the engine in the back. 0-100 in 3 weeks. Hills? don't bother. It was like driving a forklift the oversteer was so bad. Ended up chopping the roof off and hand painting purple flames down it. More rust than car but was a bit of fun for a couple of weeks.

Ill go with the G161 gemini engine, in total i destroyed 9 of them, all shattering bottom ends.. not to mention constant head gasket blowouts, noisy timing chains, my HJ ute, 202 with 3 on the tree on gas.. regular 8k gear shifts, never missed a beat..

Ok,

 

need to put this out there. Mitsubishi in the 80's were so crap the company finally admitted they used inferior alloy in their heads and did a recall.

 

Only to find the first series magnas cracked between the welsh plugs. (bad casting). So any Mitsu is not to be trusted.

 

Camira? Soft rings. recall by factory. enough said!

 

My worst. Go to the start of the thread. Starfire (missfire) 4. Theoretically nothing wrong, but a true lemon in design and construction!

Did someone say Camira?

haha I saw this the other day.

 

Now is it just me or is it rusting already in the advert?

Oh and that optional computer WOW!! Pitty it also didn't list how long till your next head gasket ;)

haha umm.... Camira superwagon??

Heh... We had a Camira braaaaand spankers new in 1980-something... It was the last model with the VL commo looking front clip. Even had the 'space age' trip computer ;)

Ive had alot of Geminis and the Ive never done a head gasket, only ever done a bottom end after a burnout that lasted about 7-8mins on pure valve bounce, and only shifted at valve bounce always going through at least 4tyres a week (on a slow week lol) sure they were slow but good on juice and never really gave me any trouble.

What's with all this Mitsubishi hate?? lol. What about the Mitsubishi Cordia? They were alright.

I had a cordia non turb was pretty good. And used to fang my mates Starion, nuts in the wet.

Nooo. Careful you might bring back Richard Cordia! ;)

I'm gonna say the 2.4turbo in my surf when i had it. had it for six months and blew up never buy an import 4x4 unless its the 3ltr turbo

 

cost so much to fix
