Feedback on Mistusbish GSR 2000 (2 Door Sports Coupe)

[OM-Rowie]

Hi Folks,

Planning to buy this baby but wanted to make sure that I get your opinion on this car.

How's the FC?
Is this a reliable car?
What are the usual things/parts that break/needs replacement?
Anyone who has experience driving this baby?


Appreciate your response.

Thanks

Hi Rowie,

BTW are you a male or female?

I have a 1999GSR M/T, so I guess your is an A/T. I suggest you buy a M/T if driving an M/T isn't a problem for you. The only problem with the GSR is the front suspension, it's not a huge problem though. I find mine a bit of matagtag since it's not stock anymore and mine has low prof tires and lowering springs. I doubt that yours would be in a 100% stock form still.

GSR is a great car, I can zigzag anywhere in the road. I wuld suggest that you find one that has a MIVEC engine or better a 4G63T. Mine still has a stock engine and I can get 8-10KpL in out of town trips and 5-6KpL in town. Mind you, I don't give a f*ck about FC when I drive my GSR coz I just want to rev it hard till the stock engine gets busted. Gusto ko kasing magpalit ng 4G63T or MIVEC pero sayang naman kung papalitan ko yung makina na wala namang problema.

It is a good buy if you know how to check a car like the engine, tranny, suspensions etc.

I'm a dude yup looking for M/T car, how much is the usual price range for this car? 200k is my budget, also would you recommend this over a sentra s4 or lancer glxi (pizzapie)?

[erick_214]

Kung pang binata yeah that's recommendable pero kung pang pamilya hanap ka na lang ng 4 door. Yung binebenta sa mitsulancerph.net ay nasa around P280K ata. Pero sobrang ok yun puntahan mo yung site para makita mo yung mga pics at mga mods na ginawa ng may-ari.

Sir why not trade it on for the engine you like?

Ok naman Gsr, mas ok talaga m/t para less headaches in the future. Problem lang talaga is pangilalim but it's also easy to source replacement parts. Hanap ka pinaka sariwa makita kahit mas mahal konti basta no funny sound sa engine, solid paint job, and intact interior. Medyo mahirap maghanap since medyo old model pero may jackpot parin diyan.

BTW Rowie,

Try to join Mitsulancerph.et may nagbebenta kasi ng red GSR 98 model dun na M/T, kaka strip to metal lang at engine overhaul. The mechanic of the engine is a highly recommended mechanic by lancer users tsaka 17" mags na rin. Just go to the for sale section ang you'll see.

*Archie,

Nanghihnayang kasi ako sa makina eh, sayang kasi kung papalitan ko naman ang hindi sira di ba? Ako kasi yung tipo ng tao na pag hindi sira ay gagamitin ko ng gagamitin hanggang mag end of life na ang isang bagay at tsaka ko papalitan ng bago. The engine is approx 14 years old and still no signs of failing.

[[archie]]

Teka, Gsr, 280k? Wow! Alam ko bentahan niyan well below 200k.

[erick_214]

as I said, take a look before thinking the price is too much. With everything he done to the car, I would say the price is reasonable.

[Kasparov]

Impressive yung kotse ha. Lalo na yung time and effort na ininvest ng may ari.
BTW, I have a GSR before. Dapat talaga bihira kang may pasahero na sa likod uupo. Nakakaawa.

[[archie]]

Ahh ok. Sa price kasi parang pinasa lahat ng mods sa buyer. In my opinion, it's better to get it stock and mod it yourself. I've seen a Gsr sold for 160k and sariwa body, engine, and interior.

Agree with you bro.,- I'd rather go with stock at sariwa ang sasakyan.... Tsaka ganyan na dapat ang takbuhan ng presyo,- else mahal na talaga for that vintage (14 years approx).

GSR,- pangarap namin dati iyang GF/BF ride; then followed later by the 2-door Rav4 ....

20.7K:idea:

[[archie]]

Yeah, 280k for a Gsr is way too much in my books. Go for stock at market value. Orig paint, Orig interior, Orig engine. Dun nakikita kung gaano kaalaga ang seller.

[erick_214]

100% stock GSR would be like drinking coffee without sugar and milk. 15" rims and 185 rubbers are very dull. Pero depende sa bibili yan. If I will buy another GSR today, I'll chose the one that is atleast aesthetically modified and retain the stock engine kung maganda pa yung engine huh, pero kung may naglagay na ng Mivec or 4G63T na engine probably much better. Ito kasing GSR ko stock lahat pwera lang sa paint, mags and suspensions and some interiors na rin. Ang balak ko kasi before na magpapalit ako ng engine pag nasira na yung makina, pero till now ok pa rin naman kaya medyo naiinip na rin ako.

Common guys, 14 year old car and you like the stock paint, gimme a break...Paano gagamitin sa pang gimik yang stock na GSR?

[[archie]]

When I sold my civic 2000 model (Orig paint) , that car still has the shine of a new car. Scrape to metal indicates rusting, otherwise, pinahilamos lang sana. Well kanya kanya yan, I'm just expressing my opinion on the matter.

[OM-Rowie]

Appreciate the response guys, but right now I would really prefer a Stock GSR. I will consider the upgrades probably after a few months. and I am on a tight budget so I really want to get a GSR below 200K.

I know this is a vintage car but I just love the way it looks (for me it looks like a mini - Eclipse). I am just concerned about the durability of this car because I rarely see one out in the road. Would you get this over a Sentra Series 4?

[washburn]

IMHO get the latest gsr (2002 I think?) with slanted trunk and tail light, I dont know if they have the m/t version but the extra stuff you will get like rear disk brake. Also correct me if Im wrong the newer 4g92 have more horses than year 99 below.
