In the UK it's called the "Evo Zero by its fanbase," RWD and turbocharged. It was one of those things that ran the RAC Rally in the UK way back when. IIRC its what Mitsubishi ran before the big and fat Galants and then went to the Lancer platform.

2000GT is its name I think.

Oooh close on the name 8)

What year for the win?

[brisvr4]

1980 EX 2000 turbo?
First of the GSR's I think!

[mimmo_gsr]

Yeah its a Lancer EX2000 Turbo.

The best that car attained in WRC events was a 3rd in 1982 at the 1000 Lakes Rally (now Rally Finland).

It was an era where the Audi and Fiat/Lancia Rally powerhouses were proving difficult to beat. Lancia had the 037 which was formidable in the hands of Markku Allen.

Other great cars of the 80's

Renault 5
Lancia Rallye 037
Opel Manta
Audi Quattro
Porsche Carrera

Very good guys!

This ones a 81 model.

It has the same engine and gearbox as a Starion.

But hasnt got the IRS that the Starion got.(thats what he told me anyway [ Starion owners confirm?] )

The owner(Dick) seems to have had many a year working on Mitsubishis whilst living in Papua New Guinea and being the main Manager of the Mitsubishi dealership.

I sent in for homologation papers for my 1977 LB Lancer years ago when I was into hillclimbing and what they sent me back was the homologation papers for that model Lancer instead :roll:

[tUfRiCe]

[SIVART]

I didnt know anyone had one is Aus :shock:

I wonder what ratio its running?

[3zercrowd]

YES

[jase]

Its RARE as, maybe 5 in Oz if that

YES

Only rare in Aus.. there's a fair few in NZ and Japan..

Easy to import - wouldn't set you back much, but from what I've read on the NZ forums they are fairly slow..

[rob323]

There is a white 1800 version that has been in a few of the rallies that I have done around here, but I don't think it has had much success due to mechanical gremlins. I have been keen to see it rally cause in theory, a light turbo rwd rally car should do really well in the type of rallies we have around Brisbane.
