So in a weird sequence of events I have managed to obtain a Mitsubishi Diamante (1991). The car is a Japanese import to Australia.

Unfortunately the car cannot be registered here again (long story based on it being classed as a write off in another state in Australia)

So I have a parts car which is unreal but sad at the same time as its disappointing to see such a wonderful car not be maintained to its former glory.

Will update the build with parts used in the TT Magna.

Some of the plans I have for this car

- EVO 560 cc injectors (already purchased)
- Hybrid TD04L-19T conversion (I have the 19T compressor cover and wheels and have 2 used WRX 13T's to take the L turbine wheel and machine 9b housing to fit)
- Install Cooling Mist Water/Meth injection kit and use output settings from Chrome ecu Mods (already purchased tank, pump and nozzles just need hobb switch and wiring)
- Finish InCar PC project - I built a Win 7 Single Board PC and touch screen interface
- Refurbish stock 17" GTO rims and fit to car.

But before doing this I am going to put some miles on the car. I need to reclaim 7 years of working on this car and have some fun in it.

Wow, very cool!! Well done!

It is 100% engineer complianced which comes with a certificate so if i get pulled up by the police i should not get any hassles for the modifications.

I've driven the car 3 times since getting it registered (making up for all the time it was garaged)
Its a bad ass drive. Power to weight is great...its nibble around corners and powerful where it needs it.

More upgrades and work to be done on it so watch this space!

Congrats man, that's a heck of an accomplishment! Enjoy it!
