Mitsubishi Grandis for Canada?

more info on that FXT

- Cobb Downpipe
- TurboXS Catback
- ECU tuned in Enginuity by...ME. (I originally had a Cobb Accessport but sold it after I learned up on self-tuning)
- KYB GR-2 struts in '02-'03 WRX fitiment.
- OEM 2004 WRX STi springs
- OEM 2004 WRX STi rear swaybar
- Rota Tarmac3 18x8 rims in Royal Sports Bronze
- 235/45/18 Kumho SPT
- JDM Forester STi front grill (now all those forester sports are out and have basically the same one)

It was pretty awesome. the stock turbo spooled almost instantly, I was pushing 18PSI at times, but generally kept it around 17.2PSI. The guy I sold it to re-did just about everything; big turbo, big IC, STi scoop, coil-overs, new control arms, new sways, etc. He went nuts.

I originally bought the car when I sold my BMW M3 as a sort-of, performance utility machine. It was a blast but I was waaaaay to addicted to modding it and kept spending money. I knew I needed to sell it or I would go insane and my wife would kill me.

Nice Fartbus, Farts-R-Us or Farts-B-Us (scratch)

No, but seriously, nice STi. Trading that in should have been a tough call...

...oh, crazy dude...

I took the Subaru and the Forester emblems off, but there was a hole that had to be covered so I came up with Fartbus from those letters.

my next car has to be able to take my bicycle standing up. i was hoping the 5 would, and was bummed out when i found it couldn't. my Mitsu expo took a whole bike, front wheel in place, standing up. that was neat.

What about if you take the front wheel off and get one of those front fork clamps ($5) and mount it to the floor (back of folded down 2nd row seat)? Would the bike fit then? I haven't actually tried it. I think I saw such a setup in a Volvo V50 pic... or maybe it was a Honda Element? maybe both?

Anyways, the sliding doors is what really sets the MZ5 apart from the competition. I wonder if they'll catch on...

P.S. Just checked... the Element can take 2 bikes without the wheel removal.

negative, doesn't go in standing up even with the front wheel off. i was hoping it would go in far enough until the rear wheel would drop between the second row seats but the seat hits first. i have one of those quick release clamps you mention mounted to a board with velcro on the bottom. no place to use it now.
