I bought this car in 2021, was very neglected with a grinding clutch and a lot of exterior surface rust but the engine ran strong despite 270000km and bones were solid.
For those that don’t know it the RvR hsgr was a limited run (1997 only) ultra-high performance version of the Mitsubishi RvR with the engine and driveline from the evo3. It also has a Recaro interior that is unique to this model
I’ve done a lot of work and spent a lot of money, too much to list including a respray in factory white and a lot of rust repair. It recently passed a warrant of fitness which is needed to be road legal in New Zealand, it’s been super motivating to be able to drive it around.
Still a lot of small things to sort, eventually I will be lowering it on a set of white Advan sa3rs installing a link ecu and tuning to hopefully about 300hp at the wheels
Even as is though it’s a hoot to drive, boost comes on strong at 2500ish rpm and pulls hard to the 7k redline
