First off if YOU love the car what does resale value mean to you anyways? Unless you plan on selling it? Second I'm not sure exactly what the currency translates to these days but it does sound like you spent a bit more than necessary to rebuild it. The shaking is likely the rotors BUT also check your tire pressures as it WILL have an effect (believe it or not) on the shaking. Quite frankly, if you've rebuilt the car, salvage title or not, it's yours and I'd be proud of it and drive it till it was dead (Longest I've owned a car... 5 years... most of that sitting in a yard here or there).

I dont know dude..

All i know is that you have wasted an incredible amount of money. The car has basically ZERO resale value
What would YOU think if someone made a comment like that to you? Now enough of this Sebba.


As for tire pressure, look on the inside of the driver's door. There will be a listing of required tire pressures. THAT is what it needs to be! I had my tires changed and they put all of mine at around 40 PSI. My car requires 27 PSI! I shook like mad when accelerating as well as when stopping. Corrected tire pressure and it went away.

Look in the FAQ section I think there is a writeup of the designations of the different letters (RS, GS, GS-T, GSX, and whatnot). I didn't know they made a GT or GTS so I'm not sure myself. I'm going to look in the FAQ minisection myself to find out as well. K I did (Thus the edit of the post). Here's the link. https://mitsubishiforum.com/m_106049/tm.htmNow just for future reference try searching the site before asking things as most common problems have been asked quite a few times. You may think your problem is unique but there's always someone out there that has had it. If you can't find an answer by searching the site (VIA search link located up there ^ ) then post and we'll be more than happy to help you out.

S'all right that's why I'm not an @$$hole the first time someone does it. They continue to do it thought and I'll flame the SHYT outta 'em
