you heard correct.

We put 1000awhp through them no problem. The gears and internals hold up just fine, we end up having to reinforce the casing a little though in the really high HP cars though.

 

my tranny blew up at 90k miles. the shifter started moving back and forth under accel/decel, and got as bad as to where the shifter would pop itself out of 5th gear on the highway if i lifted off the accelerator hard enough. about 3 weeks after that started the whole tranny exploded and left me with only 3rd gear

 

Seems like 99.9% of you say that there nothing but problems. I would say ir you have deep pockets get one it seems that they are money pits. But why not just get a wrx or evo?? Just my thoughts

 

I owned a '96 and the tranny was weak by 70k. Get an Evo, I've had an VIII and X and both were a better ownership experience (save the ricer blow-bys I always received in my VIII).

 

hey deathsled were u on 3Si.org back in like '02-'03, i remember someone on there with a stealh that took the letters from dodge stealth es or whatever it was and re-arranged the letters to read deathsled. was that you?

 

You should go to a Mitsubishi meet. you'll find about 20 daily drivers there and 3 running Mitsubishis, and all the owners talking about what to fix next.

 

I've been on there since 99

 

The VR4 weighs about 1,000 pounds MORE than an S2000. It will be like going from a speed boat to a yacht.

 

so was that your stealth that said "deathsled" on the rear bumper? i think it was a red one but its been 7-8 yrs so i dont remember for sure

 

Having worked on several I can tell you the cars are trash. They leak every fluid they contain and are poorly engineered compared to a Honda. Don't make the mistake of buying one of these money pits.
