God this page is a treasure trove of jelly.

Same ^

I need to win me some Lotto tonight.

Ah, the Shamal. Somehow even more wonderful than the Ghibli.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Tasteful and period correct.

Rear diffuser that is molded in seems a bit..odd. It protrudes a little too much, but I can dig it.

Same. Though with that diffuser. Having no spoiler makes it even more odd. Have a proper spoiler, not ricey like, and I'm driving that.

Now, my turn for the Chasers.

Now, more diversity.

Now, for something unique. Could be questionable but, To me, it looks...quite...impressive. This..used to be a MR-S. Say hello, to the Squalo R. Doesn't look like a MR-S anymore but..I dig it.

Now, A first gen Celica!

Anotehr nice Integra...

Now last, feel bad for what become of that orange car? Worry no more. Here, a proper MR-S.

Jesus Christ, I don't believe it. I finally found a modified Mirage, outside of it's racing livery that was partaken in rally, I believe.

Thank God I found one nicely modfied, these things are rarer than Eclipses.

Isn't that a lancer?

 

[LivingWithGames]

No, but the front is similar, I already said the car. It is a Mitsubishi Mirage. You could call it a poor man's version of the Lancer, if you like. However, the car's FWD, unlike all usual Lancer's that are 4WD.

Can confirm.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Can confirm.

That's the exact place I found it.

Lancers are FWD, unless it's the Evolution.

Actually yes, dependent upon where you're from, but the Mirage was the Lancer variant in some places and even called the Lancer. For example the 4th and 5th gen Mirage was the Lancer in Australia. The Mirage was the basic spec lancer in the U.S. but just carried the Mirage name, but was still considered a Lancer. It's not the "poor man's" Lancer either. Considering the poor man's lancer is a lancer to begin with. I think what people forget at times, is the Lancer has a variant called the Evo, which then gets misconstrued as the Lancer.

Anyways you're right it is a Lancer, at least that gen.

Wait, are they? Like that Lancer in NFSU1? That lancer was no Evo either....

Interesting, good to know.

Well most non-Evo Lancers. The first two Lancer generations were RWD, and some of the later lesser Lancers came with a 4WD option in some markets (I'm not quite sure which, but there are few on a local used car site), although those are quite rare.

You're correct. I wasn't thinking outside of the U.S. I believe the only Lancer(here) that has had that is the most recent gen, with the RalliArt trim.

Same chassis. We never got that generation of the Lancer but we did get the Mirage.

Is that from last year's meet or this year? I know they have a big New Years party at the Hard Rock Cafe there in Roppongi.

 

[el fayce]

This was from the last year's meeting, I didn't know it was annual though!

 

[Heldenzeit]

Looking it up, this years meet will be on Jan 14th. I'll update the RWB thread once I see pics.

Ah ok, where I'm come from they badged 2nd-5th gen as Mitsubishi Lancer while the more famous brother is known as Lancer Evolution.

I don't think we have the Mirage (hatchback) sold here but I'm assuming Malaysia's Proton sold the mirage as Proton Satria.
