speedyquest Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I used to own one of those. Super fun car to drive but as soon as you had to work on it... Geezus! Just changing the sparkplugs on the one bank of the engine is time consuming because the whole intake phylum has to come off due to it wrapping over it. I like my quest better Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the biggest fan of them. Pain to work on. They should have made these RWD and not put the motor in sideways! I think the plan is to keep both the 97's and the black one, part the 95 white. Who knows...my folks "many" car projects. Just means I'll have to fight for shop time! At least my Quest is running strong. I like my Quest much better also!

kidjc Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I agree to what's been said, but still: "I luv'm!" Nearly picked up one this past Sept. Probably what has been discussed here, held me back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably what has been discussed here, held me back? If you like the 3000gt's get one! A nice runner should only set ya back $2500 and you can find tons of parts cars at $500.They are a bit of a pain to work on but not impossible! Don't be held back go for it!

Dartomotive Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I just bought an Emerald Green R/T Twin Turbo. The previous owner, powerwashed the engine bay. He replaced the main computer at a local service garage. and it still ran like crap. I bought it, and took it to Mitsubishi. They had a guy familair with it, and found water in the distributor, & the plug wire boots. I had a full tune up done, and now it runs great. Awesome handling car.
