hey guys, my name's Phil and I'm from Hamilton. Am quite heavily into Mitsubishis and just picked up probably one of Mitsubishi's least ideal 4WD machine, a '91 Delica Exceed Van - but it's a 4WD none the less.

also have a couple of other Mitsis including a '91 VR-4 and a 1980 Galant-Eterna coupe undergoing a V6 MIVEC twin turbo conversion.

thanks to Wayne (vvega) and Glen (NJV6) for bringing this forum to my attention.

those L300 vans actually look quite good when lifted a bit and fitted with some larger tyres :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

hey phil :-D

Its pretty cool how many people are moving over to this sport from road orientated stuff.

Flick me a message on MSN if you wanna come up thompsons with some friends and I in about 2 weekends time (yet to be confirmed). We are all relative novices and don't have mega set up trucks like wayne and many of the others here :mrgreen:. so wont have to go through anything too damaging

Got AT's on it? :mrgreen:

haha it is a Mitsubishi so you can count on something breaking, that's for sure!

unsure what tyres it has on it at the mo, I picked it up last night and really haven't had the chance to give it a good going over. One of the front tyres is bald and the other front tyre is borderline, while the rear tyres are in decent condition - but I'm keen to find some wider alloys and fit different tyres to it. the exhaust is broken too so I need to sort that out before taking it back in for a WOF which probably wont be for a few weeks yet - am busy sorting out this dodgy transmission in my Galant.. Mitsubishis eh..
