My 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Diesel

pgsagar’s Team-BHP Garage

Engine Specifications:

Engine Misc.:

Turbocharger & Induction:

Fuel & Tuning:

Exhaust:

Drivetrain:

Weight reduction & transfer:

Suspension, wheels & tires:

suspension stock ( what choice does one have for a diesel Lancer, anyway?). 14" alloys and MRF tubeless.

Interior:

very basic. a JVC VCD unit and an 8" JVC screen.

Exterior:

skirting, angel eyes with dual HID ( vision X ) and clear lens taillights.

the car has logged 1.57 lakh kms. engine is still almost like new. starts in half crank even after 10 days. touches 180 at 4300 rpm ( 700 short of redline). Yes, it is not typo. It is diesel and yet it DOES touch 180. the pick up, of course can be compared to a sea going barge. OK, not that bad but after you hit highway, you can put a brick on accelerator and go to sleep. but when you wake up, you will find the needle at 180 kph. i think it does it on the strength of its CCs, alone---2000. not like tricked-up modern diesel engines which squeeze out all the bhp they can by fitting tubocharger, common rail, intercooler, electronics and what not. It is a simple straight basic engine with good top speed but sluggish pick up compared to modern CRDis. i heard this engine lasts much longer compared to modern diesels though. it is upto experts to comment on that.

prsnck	@Sagar - Awesome car and with great mileage, fortunate to hear that good words about Lancer. Esp Diesel - To tell you frankly I'm almost on verge of getting one 2002 Diesel Lancer run 72k km. Do I anticipate any issues in running it for say next 5 years. Want some brain dump from you if you feel free.	21st April 2020
DDiSLover	Wow! Dreamy lancer!!! Whats the current odo reading bro?	21st July 2015
pgsagar	Now it has crossed 2L Kms and still running like new. Mitsubishi is a dark horse which never got its due share of accolades in India. It can put best of makes to shame when it comes to reliability.	2nd September 2012
