If Mazda would pay me, I would be more then happy to stand up. Here that Mazda! PM me we'll work it out.

I would guess that they are grinding because they don't like 3,500,000 RPM's. :D

I've wondered about this quite often myself, what with all the people in the CZ forums talking about burning coils, yanking it out, and then going down to their local dealership. Its all right there in writing...pretty easy to see.

bad business practices and mitsubishi is almost synonimous. im sure you guys have heard of all those scandals where they hid defects that effected over 100k vhiecles over the years. They have a really bad coporate culture that trickles down to the dealorships. People I know from the DCEvoClub have had many bad experiences with warranty and many other issues. Hopefully Mistubishi goes out of business and get bought by a successful company, and experience a turn-around like what happened to Mazda under Ford and Nissan in partnership with Renault.

I didn't realize Mitsu was so bad on service. I bought Turbo eclipse around '92 or '93 and they covered every problem under warranty. However, the clutch and brakes on that car wore out in no time.

However, Mitsu has offered no nice sports car in many years. The EVO VIII is great performance but uglier than a outhouse. The body style changes on the eclipse make it undesirable.

No such luck - Mitsubishi is already part-owned by Daimler-Chrysler (27%, IIRC), and DC recently announced that they had been asked to give Mitsu more money for their turnaround plan, and DC refused to sink any more funds into Mitsubishi! They did raise a few billion from new share issues etc., but no major automaker will touch them. They're dying.

I don't give a chocolate-covered rat's turd that Mazda reads these boards. I've done nothing to my vehicle which would concern them...

Besides, I know the folks at Mazda are compassionate, intelligent, responsible, understanding, considerate, energetic, loving, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, obedient, brave, clean, thrifty, dedicated, reverant, mindful, deligent, creative, attentive and uh....omnipresent.


:D :D :D

Sounds like Mazda has everyone from Santa to the Boy Scouts working for them.... :p

If this is true, then I suppose Mitsubishi Motors is done for. If MM goes under, what do you think will happen to its fanbase? Lest ye not forget about the Eclipse, Starion, GTO/3000GT, and the EVO #, all of which are very established cars. I hope Mitsubishi Motors doesn't go the way of AMC. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs if this does happen.

Big companies like that don't die...they go into bankruptcy, give all of their execs multi-million dollar bonuses for "retention," shaft the shareholders and restructure.

Gee, posting all your phat mods and time slips/etc. on a PUBLIC forum then being all surprised when your warranty is jacked. I'm sorry but that borders on idiocy.
As for the whole 'why do they show the car being raced, but we can't race it'. Just think about it for 2 seconds. Racing puts alot more stress on the car than it was really designed. Before real race teams take a car to the track it is fortified with things like extra cooling/etc. to handle the extra stress. The typical 'pay to play' applies for people that want to race their cars..
