Last weekend, I went around some car yards hunting for my first car. I found a tidy 95 Mitsi Lancer GSR Coupe at a reasonable price, so after a test drive, I decided to buy it.

I mentioned to a friend of mine, who is far more knowledgable when it comes to cars than me, what the car was. He was absolutely convinced that it was a turbo because it was a GSR. I showed him the car and after a quick glance under the hood, it became apparant that it was not turbo after all.

Intrigued, I googled it in the hope I could find some details on it, but nothing came up - my car didn't exist! So, what I was hoping someone could help me with is establishing what type of car it is once and for all.

Its a 1.8i dohc if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

 

Pics. where are you from... Is prob. a mirage. which looks exactly like the Lancer Evo GSR from the past time except the mirage is NA

it's possible the motor had been replaced somewhere down the line with a non-turbo.

 

im confuzzled

 

I'm from new zealand.

I don't actually have any pics on my computer, but its like this except its a manual and its green:

yea thats a mirage... well what we in the US get here as a Mirage. Over seas I guess its still called a lancer. So note to self there is a difference to Lancer GSR and Lancer Evo GSR. Didnt know the Lancer GSR ever existed other than in Evo form

 

Awesome, thanks for that.

 

yeah still pretty nice looking ride, i did not know that as well.... nor that the first existent lancer was the valant

 

yeah its a fantastic first car. even better now that I know what it is

 

*cough cough* evo conversion
