Reader’s Question:

I’ve heard that the Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in 2001 here in Houston, Texas. What difference or upgrades that the 2007 model has compared to the earlier version?

Nathan

As compared to the older version of Mitsubishi Outlander, the 2007 model is much larger. All of its 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander models (ES, LS and XLS) are equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 engine, which can produce 220 horsepower and 6,250 revs per minute. It has a 6 speed automatic transmission which operates smoothly as that of the Ford window motor. One of its remarkable features would be the Sportronic Technology which allows manual gear changes.

The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is also equipped with the Reinforced Safety Evolution chassis which gives it the attribute of a rally car. The chassis has a rigid unibody structure which allows the Mcpherson struts to run smoothly for independent multi link suspension of the rear. What gives it the rally car like performance is the steering and suspension system with the all wheel drive option. And because of these remarkable features, driving the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander in the rough terrains of Houston is such a breeze. Plus, it also allows tight cornering on city streets.

Reader’s Question:

I am a mobile worker here in Houston, Texas and looking forward to have a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. How would you compare it against its so called cousin Dodge Dakota?

It is a common sight here in Houston, Texas to see a Dodge Dakota being driven along the freeways. But if you stop a while and scrutinize the vehicle, the triad logo in the center of the grille, you will find out that it is not a Dodge Dakota but a Mitsubishi Raider. That’s a common scenario most people look up at the Mitsubishi Raider. There’s a long history on why this came to be. Bottom line is, there are still significant differences between the models that gives the Raider a uniqueness all of its own.

So, what keeps the Raider unique from its so called “cousin”? One exceptional feat is the price. You can find it cheaper to buy the Raider from around $19,000. The truck comes with either a 210 hp V6 or a beefy 230 hp V8. The V8 is very much appealing to those who tow as its pulling capacity is a respectable 6500 lbs.

The Raider is available as either a 4×4 or a 4×2 and with four door or even 2 door cab configurations. It can seat to as many as 6 passengers. Looking inside, the Raider comes with trim features more of that a sedan than with a pick up. Sirius satellite radios boosted with Alpine speakers, heated leather surfaces for the front and bucket seats compliments driving pleasure especially for long journeys.

Reader’s Question:

My dad recently handed over his Mitsubishi Lancer for me to use here in Houston, Texas. Can you give me tuning tips to have this all geared up?

Mickey

The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of the finest all performing car available taking note of its affordable price. The 4 cylinder engine runs on a 2.0 liter 286 hp with a 289 ft-lbs torque. There are a lot of ways in modifying the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

1. Since the MR Evo has the largest stock turbo in any of the Lancer line up, consider having a high flowing air intake filter. Since the stock air box is restrictive, you can free up lots of power by replacing the air intake filter.

2. One of the most crucial parts of any turbo charged car is the down pipe. Upgrade your down pipe to increase lots of horsepower and torque.

3. You may also opt to upgrade your Exhaust system into the High Flowing 3 inch. It does nothing better than revving up the power.

4. Since you want to add more power to your car, I suggest that you also get a high performance clutch as clutches can be worn out easily on high powered vehicles.

Lastly, as a piece of advice, I suggest that you also have to review the car insurance that you have for you Mitsubishi Lancer. It would be helpful to know after all of the upgrades you make, it would be much worth it to get the right and less expensive car insurance, especially in taking the risk of driving along the highways of Houston, Texas. You may read on the quotations found on this website to kick off your research as well.

Your boyfriend seems to earn much because he can afford to catch up with the latest models as you’ve mentioned. Upgrading a car would definitely save you a fortune as compared to buying the latest models. I consider owning a car as very valuable investment. You would not want your money go down the drain in maintaining an up to date car driving style.

There are thousands of ways to enjoy and personalize your Mitsubishi car. Try to start the upgrades on your interiors. You can make the exterior more appealing especially if you plan to sell it in the future. Check out the best color for the body that matches your personality as well. Pay attention to every details of the exterior especially the parts that wear out easily like the door handles, headlights and even the hub caps. Proper maintenance of the car engine and its exhaust parts will save you hundreds of dollars.

Having your car stay fit all throughout the time that you will be using it is pretty challenging, especially driving in the busy suburbs of Houston, Texas. But I suggest that you try to consider parts replacement instead of car replacement. With proper care, you and your car will go a long way.
