Hey! That's MY L300 at the 15 second mark! Got it from you guys a few years ago. It was the very first sale Javan Imports made here. It's doing great, by the way :)

@MyRetroVans 3 года назад

Good eye and glad to hear it's doing great (^^)

Space Gear for the win! This is such a rad van, i absolutely love the hood scoop intake and exhaust. This video series is great!

Nice review, we have historically sold the StarWagons here in the states, but have quickly fallen in love with these. The LWB model is a huge plus too!

They left out the Middle so you can walk through to the back. You Don't have to go out side and come back in through the sliding Door. We have a Delica L 400, just Love it. Thank you.

I am looking at one now in AUS , I like the look of it, just wanting to know if it can be lifted easily, I really like the idea of both the front chairs able to be rotated 180... so you can use them for lounge chairs in your rear living area if you make it a camper... ;)

We use a Space Gear as a work van in the Local Flying School in the Philippine I tell you what, it can take a hell of a beating and it wont quit Performance is a bit lame.. it has the Torque 🤷‍♂ it can pull 2 tons up a hill without hesitations

@jululugz2893 Год назад

Philippines too, my father bought one yesterday. Philippine variant manual and sliding door on right.

@ian9toes 3 года назад

They left the space in between the seats so you can walk to the back of the van. I have a VW T5 which has nothing between the seats and is much more convenient than the T4 I had previously.

@MyRetroVans 3 года назад

Interesting...but wouldn't you prefer having a center console??

@ian9toes 3 года назад

My Retro Vans Nope, I mostly pull up and go straight into the back and never open or close a door. Plus my fridge is behind my seat so I’ll buy 2 drinks from a service station and put one in the fridge from the cabin.

@subspaceanomaly 2 года назад

@@MyRetroVans the thing I love most about estima lucida is the lack of centre console, it's great being able to get to the back from the front and vice versa. Modern cars are just full of pointless interior architecture, much nicer to have empty space and freedom to choose what to do with it

I'm looking at getting one of these used with 90k miles on it. Looks to be in excellent condition. How is reliability, and part availability with these ? I live on the east coast of the US

@MyRetroVans 2 года назад

I have found that these require a lot of work (many of the original parts were faulty and eventually updated by Mitsubishi) by experienced mechanics after procurement to diagnose each issue. However, once all the worn parts are replaced, they run well for a long time. I think the engine and entire experience is fantastic.

@ihatebobsaget1989 2 года назад

@@MyRetroVans as far as parts that need to be replaced, are you talking suspension, water pumps etc. ? and how expensive are parts for these? are they reasonable?

Cool. Very great engine. This version of the 4M40 has never been available in europe, only the one with 125 HP and 292 NM. Would be so glad to get some more specs of this engine and drivetrain. Do you know where I could have a look at it? Was this stronger 4M40 version applied in the Pajero as well?

@MyRetroVans 3 года назад

It's in Japanese, but hopefully google translate does a good job :) eng.greeco-channel.com/engine/mitsubishi-4m40/ And yes, the latter model 2nd gen Pajeros had the same 4M40 w/ 140HP (technically 140PS). 3rd gen came w/ the 3.2L 4M41.

@beyondthesky7472 3 года назад

@@MyRetroVans Very cool!! Thank you so much. Yes this is helpful! Do you know where I could have a look at a chart which figures out torque over rpm's? I would also be interested in a ratio list. I guess one option was the V5M31 manual gearbox, but the power versions of the 4M40 may had different final drive gear ratios. Some rumors say they were available with 5 speed AT in addition to that..?

@zaingazi3548 Год назад

I think that steering wheel is an extra meaning the previous owner most likely bought it himself and had it fitted. It looks like a sports steering wheel.
