Mitsubishi 1983 Lancer EX Turbo "Retro-bution" Lancer Box Type
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Most people drive the same car nowadays, new cars.... it just came to a point that I wanted a car that stands out among the common. And could keep up cruising with them. There’s nothing to fill up the void than having an 80’s car, most people thought its a typical family saloon because it was mass produced during the 80’s fuel crisis. given a thought, it was like a kind of people’s car in the Philippines back in the 80’s…
People do not know in the land of the rising sun this is a performance saloon and what was mass produced in the Philippines was a detuned version that only had similar looks but not its functionality …
.
it was my high school dream having to own a Mitsubishi Lancer EX turbo Japan spec. As I have seen back in the 80’s how this car made famous winning rallies and touring car races across Asia (Japan, Macau, and Europe).
Because Mitsubishi brand has always been good with their Racing heritage as well as their Rival European counterpart…
I set up a goal in my career life that one day I would own one. Even in the stock configuration of this Retro Performance Sedan.
Making friends at a Mitsubishi car club, I met a friend and mentor who have guided me on where and how to build and restore a Japan spec. Lancer EX turbo.
Coincidentally I am a Filipino base inHong Kong. I was told I could find this in a Hong Kong salvage yard, meeting Hong Kong car enthusiast, I finally found the car that I've been dreaming of…
made the purchase and had all parts removed and shipped to the Philippines…restored up and running, 5 years ago
which is now one of rarest car running in the Philippines ( not a garage queen).
while there's still 50 or more of this carbureted local version still roaming around the Philippines…
I think there is only about less 10 of this Japan specs Lancer EX turbo in the country that actually drives and my car is one of them still running as good as how it was built 32 years ago.
Can’t compare to its fuel consumption which is a mere 12 km per liter sometimes less but the fun and experience driving this Retro Mitsubishi Lancer EX Turbo is an experience you can never get with any modern car.
the smell of boosting fuel fusion with the upholstery and interior panels, the feel of rear wheel drive torque engine vibrations engine powertrain transferring to the gearbox and to the limited slip differential, the box shape aerodynamic swooshing in the windshield. all these senses you cannot get in a modern-day ride. because of this car, this became a platform of the modern day Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions….
I was told by my mentor friend to hoard parts for this car like the injectors, original wiring harness, spare engine and computer boxes… so I can make this car running even when I have grandkids…which is exactly my plan..as I am not selling this car and will be passed on to my families next generation who had interest owning driving this retro car and to the point in life that I would be
sharing the “ Retro-bution “ experience…..

I have been a fan of 80s cars, unfortunuately we dont have the capacity to have one. Trully a fan of lancer, corolla, galant and others. At the age of 43, this is basically a part of my passion and my heart to love cars like these.. Again love cars like these, hoping that its not too late for me to experience the 70s and 80s era..

It's never too late. Mine is not a Mitsu buy a 99 Civic non vtec. My family is really contemplating that I should get a new car, but I opted getting this one. Not because of the F*Boy effect, but because of the fun building your own dream car. Seeing it transform from a crappy car to a head turning machine is worth it. Though I still have a lot of things to do with it, still it's a work in progress.
This video gave me the chills. I can vividly remember sitting inside this car when I was 4 or 5. Our family used to drive this from Manila to Baguio. Kudos to you Sir for restoring this beautiful piece of machinery.
I just watched Ramon Bautista's lancer boxtype 87. Then this. It inspires me to know what is my real passion in life.
I like it when you described the "distinct smell of the engine and the interior" I wish I can have mine back again...
Pinakamagandang restored box type lancer na nakita ko. Meron din ako dati 1986 box type pero binenta ko dahil sa pag abroad ko at hirap na rin sa maintenance. Saka niloko ako nung latero na gumawa ng Body restoration. Saka bumibigay na rin noon ang Saturn engine niya. Thanks for sharing Sir. Good memories.

Best car for vapor wave, retro wave and future funk music
Thank you for this inspiring video sir.. I really miss mine 1980 SL. And for sure you'll inspire a lot with this one. Thumbs up!
Savage car man what a transformation! I've a 1985 ex turbo lancer that I imported from Japan last year to Ireland :)

Now that's inspiring. It's not how fast or fuel efficient your car is. It's about all the work you put into it. That's why people tinkering old cars appreciate a car like this even more. Thank you sir.
Seeing these kind of cars on the road is already amazing 🤩
This is your young fan from Sri Lanka. I know about this car very well, it never goes out of style. It sad most car companies don't bring out such great machines anymore. May be they're running out of ideas. Thank you very much for uploading this prescious video on youtube.
80's what an era, beautiful car. I like how you chased your dream. All the best !!!

I agree. Turbo
Thanks for this Sir, I plan to restore my Grand Father's boxtype, he passed away before I was born. My dad drove this when I was little kid but had too many issues and he didn't have time to fix it, at the moment its sitting in our garage in Philippines doing nothing. I want to restore the car and show it to my Parents, especially my Grand Mother who has not seen it run for a long time. It would be cool too if my Son (3 months young) will be able to drive it in the future when we visit the Philippines! :) Thanks for this as it inspired me a lot!
Parang Petrolicious. Good job restoring this gem. And the editing was great. It kept me watching till the end. Thanks KZread for this recommended vid.

Eric, I'd like to thank you for this uploading this video. It was both informative & entertaining. It also brought back a lot of memories. My father had a 1981 1.6 liter Mitsubishi Lancer & I had the opportunity to borrow & drive it during my high school days through the end of my university days. At 85 PS (stock), it had its fair share of winning (& losing). By today's standards, it's not very fast nor does it corner well but if I have the opportunity to drive it again, I would at the drop of the hat. Again, thank you.

Like what you said "the smell of old interior"... im in the process of restoring our pink 1985 SL. It was not easy really but i know after a year it will be worth the wait. Thanks sir for the inspiration!
Wow i love this car . You have done a good job .
growing up in the 90's my dad owned one of these ex turbos I could remember like it was just yesterday, teenagers then wants to buy my dad's ex turbo because he took care of it as if its new, his ex turbo was converted from rhd since it was import from japan
Wicked car, Sir. Respect.
That's my dream car 😍, how i wish i can still buy one of those when i graduate and have a job
I admire your passion bro. Sigh =( time passes by too fast. Now this cool car during my younger years is now being called a classic. ✌
Pangarap kong kotse to. Sarap mag pakiramdam pag ito dina drive mo.
Great sir nice 1 i like classic gold in my eyes
I admire your passion towards what you are doing. I also own a japan spec lancer however, with a different engine.. Mine is a A172A 3 speed automatic tranny with a 4g12 engine. good work and nice video Sir hats off!

Ganda sir, hopefully ung box ko maging katulad din ng syo sa ngaun paunti unti muna and mod kc konti lng budget hehe
I had a 1987 Mitsubishi Lancer SL and the only problem I had was changing the fuel pump several times until a mechanic suggested to install a electric fuel pump which cost me only 350 pesos..and since then had no other issues at all. Great car for all generations.

that 4G62-T engine is the reason why this car is fast.
I love these old Box Type Lancer's. Simple, clean lines, Exactly how cars should be. Not fucking rounded off bullshit like we get today! I wish they would've sold these here in the US, especially the 1800 GSR Intercooled Turbo model. They would've sold like crazy! They just don't make 'em like this anymore, it's a shame.
