Just a note for those who may not know. Leith Mitsubishi in Raleigh has been bought out by another company. My understanding the plan is to move Mitsu to another lot just down the road (may/may not be called Mitsu) and change the old lot some sort of High End lot.

According to what I heard, the Mitsu staff (you may have known) were relocated to jobs at other Leith dealership.

Only other RDU dealer for Mitsu that I know of now is in Durham.

Sorry to hear this but from appearances in the past year or so it seemed the writing was on the wall.

Luckily almost stock! Has a twin disc clutch & a Borla axle back/muffler setup. Super clean, only 44,900 miles on it when I hit the road to drive it back from Columbia, SC last Saturday.

Current plan is to just enjoy the car, haha. Probably start off with some bolt-ons & tune. Then some suspension & maybe some weight reduction. Sign up for some autox events or track day events.

Once I get bored of all that & decide I want more power, probably do blower & blower friendly cam, e85. That should be good for 600whp+.

I've been looking at all different kinds of cars since I sold the Evo mid June. Really looking for well rounded car that I could cruise with the wife, autox event, track day event, 1/4 mile, deals gap trip, etc. Even stock, they are fun to drive & the seats are super comfortable for long drives. Of course I had a budget & luckily I worked out a great deal & I picked this up for a good bit under that. So far I'm really happy with the purchase, car looks good, sounds good & it fun to drive. Only thing I bought so far was a MGW shifter, had to get rid of the stock, floppy boner shifter. Besides that it will probably stay "stock" for the rest of the year at least, maybe get some bolt ons over the winter.
