If I were you id be looking at a 97 or later model. Then rust is not an issue.
Totally agree
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

i wouldn't look at turboing it at all, being p plater, and massive insurance issues etc, i'd find other ways to get a bit more horsepower out of the car. i've seen chips, and air filters, and exhaust kits, and port polishing give the car a little bit extra, not as much as a turbo, but enough to make a bit of a difference.

is rust an issue in all pre 97 fto's? thanks mitsubishi for potentially wrecking a great car with a bloody defective glue

what does the "aero" mean on the end of the GPvR, i'd really be looking at an fto in passion red...favourite colour and all :) , and i like the look at the 5 speed tip on it as well, as opposed to the 4 speed tip of the GPX. also the airbag might be a good idea as well...

okay, i've been converted to looking for a GPvR AERO instead of the GPX even before i find out waht aero means :D

wait...wtf is a front spoiler?!?!?!

and by not turboing it at all i mean never turboing. i've seen insurance quotes for people with turbos in their cars, through the roof, so i'm not doing that :D
