Ha ha ha! That's where those taillights belong anyway!
AWESOME VIDS SEAN!!!! KEEP IT UP MAN! The magnas looking awesome
Love the Ralliart Magna ❤️ – Brings back the memory of the first car I purchased which was TJ Solara blue and silver Magna. It was an awesome vehicle 🇦🇺
Great to see your Magna Ralliart droning away…keep up the great work.
Very ball centric episode.
You should do car reviews potentially, like Doug De Muro type thing. Relaxing watch with the driving in the background but interesting commentary.
Awesome to see this pass the rwc
That's awesome man, really good to see the the car on the road.
I think you are absolutely right about the pleasures of driving a manual car that doesn't do warp speed. I too drive a turbo Barra powered Ford and love it, but every now and then I jump into my wife's manual RX8. Low hp, not that quick, but handles well and is just fun to drive.
Enjoy the car mate, fix those niggling things over time. Paint will top the car off, but I'd imagine that would be big bucks ….
the sportwagon numbers from mitsi i sent you that file, they had to be ordered from the dealer, i only ever found 1 x black one for sale , i still am looking for a mawson white s wagon, also i disagree that RA is worth 12.5 – 15k rego and rwc in any state
Well done mate, I use to not like Magna's until one of my mates got a 2002 VRX.
Now I have had 2003 KJ Verada for about 3 years now. she's a beaut.
keep up the good work.
No one likes sitting on a sweaty ballsack … I like that Magna. Looking real clean but will be even better with the paint sorted out.
Mate that ending had me in stitches 😂😂😂 another great video
Does he still own the XR6 Turbo?
The TJ was probably the peak of the Magnas. The front end just had a subtle hint of aggression, then they totally stuffed it with the TL/TW. It continued to get worse with the 380. I really think Mitsubishi Aust missed the bus with the 380. Apart from its blandness, it was a sedan only. Everyone knows MMA could do a good wagon, even with 4wd, just when everyone was going towards SUV/soft roaders. If they had done a slightly raised 4wd wagon version if the 380, it could have sold well. If they went further with a diesel V6 4wd/AWD version, and given it the Luxo treatment, it would have been a serious competitor for the likes of VW Passat 4-motion/Audi Quattro wagons for about 20 to 30k less. Ford’s Territory was petrol only and Holden had the horrendous Adventra with a fuel guzzling V8. Had MMA made that car, its main competitors would be the VW/Audi at quite a price premium, actually MMA could have created a whole new market segment, all for itself.
Great work Sean great to see the car on the road. Never mind the Haters they are just jealous.
Bit excited you mentioned the sportswagon, I've just bought one myself and I love it. Your videos have been mad helpful so far. Keep up the good work Sean!
Happy birthday for Tuesday mate. I share mine with you the day before. Great video once again mate. Loving the Rallyart content.
The front had a lip extender.. I think they are hard to find.
Great to see it back on the road Sean, will look mint when you respray it, I'd also love to see you chuck a set of Evo wheels under it
mate has a manual magna 'sports' and I've had an auto magna, really miss these cars, and still check the market for a manual magna every so often. I've brought an AU to play with in the mean time, which, quite enjoyable but also needs a lot of work. kind of brought it just because i knew i had a treasure trove of content online for it, including all your previous vids mate. keep it up.
Congrats on getting the car on the road and happy birthday! Really would be an uplifting surprise and one that you’ve earned. Nothing like rowing through the gears getting a less powerful machine going fast, so much more fun.
Nice little bit at the end there, no more wondering what happened to the ordinary taillights 😂
Loved the build Sean, been sitting quietly and enjoying the build from the 1st episode of this.
Always had a sweet spot for the TJ after my mate bought one and was chopping 5ltrs for days.
Looking forward to the complete outcome! Fuck the haters! 👌🏻✊🏻
Good work mate, keep it up.
I'd love to see a Territory build, maybe one day……😉
Manual magnas are 3.71/1 diff ratios factory
The Magna has turned out really nice, your attention to detail has paid off. As for any negative comments, any comment is a comment the Algorithm does not know the difference between positive or negative comment . So that is good for the Youtube Algorithm. So even a negative comment is a positive for your channel, pushing you up the list. I have been a mechanic for 37 years still going, i think your channel is really good keep up the great work.
That thing was built for lapping in the 'switch. Next up on Motoring box , Toyota Camry Sportivo V6 manual
Is it AWD?
Stroke of luck with the inspection
Would be awesome to see a video on the track
cool bro, ur doing great. back yard respray?
Awesome work Sean – i'm staggered how quickly you've turned this thing around all circumstances considered. It's looking better than ever. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I've got a magna atm which was also my first car and I've fallen in love with them. Watching this series to see this ralliart be able to stretch its legs on the road once again gives me hope of one day being able to have my own. You're an inspiration Sean, well done 👏
Good one Sean
My mum had one of these and I always felt the throttle was too sensitive. Kind of like you were saying in the lower gears it was pretty touchy.
I kind of want one now after seeing this lol.
Well done Sean, you should be proud of it.
Don't worry about the shit things shit people say they are just jealous, I have a KL Verada, body and paint is poor but I love driving it and I keep it mechanically top notch.
I had a manual TH sports as my 2nd car and loved it.
I remember picking it because it was Aussie built and as far as I could tell felt like a far superior build to anything else.
Now your videos are making me want to re live those days by finding another one!
I think a really clean TJ VRX in manual would be very hard to pass up
Well deserved victory Sean! Enjoy 👌
