They sold this Lancer in Hong Kong back to the 80s, the turbo version with 4G63 sohc 2.0 engine 170hp which enough to beat the then very popular Bimmer 323i. I remember one time I was driving my Celica GT with 2TG engine around 120mph on the highway, the guy with this Lancer turbo pull up from behind (took no time at all) next to me then gave me thumbs up and took off and disappeared.
I still remember these "box-type" Lancers as they were often called all over the streets of Manila back in the eighties. My aunt had one of this in forest green in SL trim. We owned a first gen 1979 Lancer then.
In the UK we got these with the word OBRUT 0002 on the lower front bumper, so when viewed from a rear view mirror you knew what was coming up behind you.
In Trinidad and Tobago, the 2nd Generation Lancer is commonly called "The Box Lancer", and it a common project car for many, which some actually use as a Daily Driver. Many swap in the SR20DET into them. They are everywhere, hahaha, much like 120Ys. Staples of the countryside.
We also have some Lancer 'Boxtype' here in Asia (mostly Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand) but i can say the Boxtype is rare then some Sunny 120Y.
In the philippines we still have plenty of those lancer "boxtypes" as we call it. And the celeste my dad used to own when i was a little boy back then. Awesome cars!
My wife from a city in Saudi Arabia named Jubail city, and one thing I noticed in that city is that it's very easy to spot a clean (non turbo) rwd lancers as the one in the video 😁👌
Lancer box! I used to drive this GSR Lancer fitted with CA18det engine and used to ride other Lancer 1.4 swap with Sirius engine..what a lovely moments
I live in Philippines and there are a plethora of lancer boxtypes here and that’s because they are a cult car here alot of them can be frequently seen on the road (that’s because they’re over 40 years old and LTO only allows cars over 40 years old to be operated on weekends) while alot of them are at local junkyards waiting to be bought and restored They’re like the AE86 of Philippines
Not true about the 40 year old rule. The reason you dont quite see classics anymore in the Philippines because they don't want their parts to get stolen. Like emblems and etc.
Ian Santi Boxtype is more like the Lancer Evos of the 80s cause in the initial d legend movie some non protagonist characters(well a member of akina speed stars)used to drive a white Lancer EX And lancer nowadays are FF
Plus due to ninoy aquinos assasination most car makers withdrew from the philippines automobile industry, the only one left? Mitsubishi. People bought these things up the ass
Interesting to hear about Australia not getting these. Ex lancers (me and another 2 friends at the time had one each, I took mine to the crusher in the end)(we had ex GSRs even. I remember an old work colleague had one) and celests were dime a dozen in NZ, back in the day.
Finally! Great video! 👍 I have seen a couple of them, but all of them at car shows. The Lancer Turbo owners really hang on to them here and they are more expensive than an AE86. About five years ago I spoke one of the owners and they were priced around 20k euros for a decent one back then. I would love to own one of these myself, but I guess that will never happen...
I'd kill for one of the mph speedometers from the uk, all 3 of my japanese spec 1800 gsr's have kph, would be nice to have at least one in mph since im in the states lol. Lovely cars though! Mine are geared a bit low for the freeyway, gonna source a 3.54:1 as mine right now probably tops out around 115mph and cruises 72mph at roughly 3900rpm
airbats801 drop me your email address on my channel, I’ll have a look around because I might have a full binnacle including speedo in mph kicking around.
The engine is a G62B with the turbo head, BUUUUTTT I cannot tell what head it has. My Cordia has the T-stamped 8 valve head with jet valves, solid rockers with hydraulic adjusters. As far as I know there are 3 different types of G62B heads out there for the turbo engines, the biggest one being no jet valves then roller rockers with manual adjusters.
i'm shocked! i thought these were as common as hachirokus and fairladies, you learn something new everyday! i really love the boot's spoiler. discreet and elegant. really nice car, and looks really good on gray even though i love sapporo white :D oh i forgot to mention! tell your passengers to use seatbelts!! my uncle had a gold menkio and when my grandma visited my uncles in 2013, a cop saw my grandma without her seatbelt and bye bye gold, he's still pissed lol. it's 2018 so i'll ask him if he was a good boy since :P
Good call on the boot-lid spoiler. I though the same thing. Hahaha! Yes, I also got in trouble because of my passenger. Years ago my youngest son was actually seat belted but not in a child seat (he was just 5 or 6) but police pulled me over and issued a ticket. I was so angry
aye, that little turbo engine from the lancer is what i need aha. been re doing a 77 lb lancer on my channel at the moment. same as that rally type one in the first shot you showed of the mitsubishi auto gallery. I've currently got the 1.6l in mine. all stock but could be changing pretty soon
Had one stripped out with Sr20 det all Silvia running gear apart from it still had solid rear axle but with LSD, mental car drawback steering box no rack
Hi Sir Daniel hop u r well, congrats on ur up grade to golden driver license😊 thanx for the great vidris as always just to point out the 1st generation rally Mitsubishi in the museum used to rally in Kenya with our local driver joginder singh.. they hav many videos of the car in action 😊 the driver with the car got a title name of simba wa Kenya meaning lion of kenya😊 thanx for this clip otherwise was not sure where the car went but happy to know it's preserved well😊
Seen the 1st gen lancers here in Australia, also seen the celeste version but not sure it was called the celeste here. Ah yes, they were both just called chrysler lancer and chrysler lancer hatch
When Mitsubishi 1st came to UK in the early '70s with the Lancer it was branded as Colt Lancer and not Mitsubishi Lancer and the tag line was "Colt, a tough new breed of car" My uncle bought the 1st one I ever sae.
I was very young at the time but pretty sure he'd have been happy. Japanese cars were a breath of fresh air compared to the British tat at the time with poor finish and poor reliability. However the Japanese cars rusted pretty quickly in our poor climate.
Hope you make a video of 📹 celeste way back in 1992 my uncle use to have that car it was first gen with rounded light and chrome plated bumpers although It was 4G32 TIMING CHAIN CAM DRIVE IF IM NOT MISTAKEN 1.6L. Sadly after 3 years he semi restored it sadly wrecked by his son in law when it roll over on a gravelled road miss and fell in love that car helping him restoring way back sadly junk yard take her away had to let it go
By the way thanks and appreciate hope to see in near future of this video if you got a chance to make this VERY RARE CELESTE AND GALANT COUPE this particular model of mitsubishi was produce also here in philippines sad to say nowadays never seen such car fully restored running in streets and car shows mostly it was leftover rotted
That was the best now all we need is early galant video (sigma),I tried to find pictures of my car from many years ago and they are harder to find than galants in Japan . So for me being a Mitzi person your best work yet and no more two weeks off what do you think 🤔 hey your on holidays over there Back to work more videos required

What year is that Lancer? We might have gotten something close to it, in the form of our Mirage, or maybe the Plymouth Colt. Though I might be wrong...
This model was never sold in the US. The Mirage/Colt was a different (smaller) beast with a similar wedge shape. Daniel is right...Wikipedia is your friend. Check it for more info.
My car is a 2011 Suzuki Wagon R. Not special at all. Ahh, the 710. Nice. Btw, I have footage of a sedan that I should make into a video... What would I buy? Tough to answer. Hmmm... This double-cab Corona Mark II pickup perhaps. i.ytimg.com/vi/OwetxiT6oRY/maxresdefault.jpg

Hey, Jason. The immediate thing for me with the gold license was that I did't have to sit & watch the hour long video on traffic safety when re-newing. Also, you don't have to renew it for a longer period. It's cheaper. Also, insurance is cheaper.
Hi daniel, check out my channel which follows the restoration of my lancer turbo in the UK where they had 2.0 litre engines. In the UK they were a group b homogolation car for the rally scene and only built 500. Great vid, glad you managed to find one !.
you said EVO...didn't you?....EVO........EVO..........E....v...o...... seems I've developed an unnatural desire for an EVO...Lancer EVO......but it's alright...VQ will do....

Same in the philippines Lancer Boxtype
2s2bs 🇹🇹
We also have some Lancer 'Boxtype' here in Asia (mostly Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand) but i can say the Boxtype is rare then some Sunny 120Y.
I thought i was the only trini that watched this channel. It's funny that a box lancer brought out the trini comments
Oh yeah, I found the channel maybe a year ago, hahaha, I obsess about older cars
In the philippines we still have plenty of those lancer "boxtypes" as we call it. And the celeste my dad used to own when i was a little boy back then. Awesome cars!
These lancers played a big roll in the early days of drifting !
Before my time, sadly.
you got any videos of them drifting back in the 80's/90's? i can't find any
Ive owned about 3 of these in New Zealand, Awesome cars!
I’m on my second at age 15 hahahaha
My wife from a city in Saudi Arabia named Jubail city, and one thing I noticed in that city is that it's very easy to spot a clean (non turbo) rwd lancers as the one in the video 😁👌
Late '80's I had a Black EX 2000 Turbo, my friend had a white one, loved that car.
Lancer box! I used to drive this GSR Lancer fitted with CA18det engine and used to ride other Lancer 1.4 swap with Sirius engine..what a lovely moments
I had the exact swap but I used a rb20 turbo unit on 10 lbs boost. Best times ever 🙌🏽
YES! Long live the 80’s Mitsubishi’s!
Really hard to come by. Actually, any 80's car in Japan. ;-)
they were the best. i still miss my 81 sapporo. what a reliable rust bucket it was :'(
Yep. I own a '87 Serbia Black Starion. I have yet to get her on the road but I'm already in love.
I live in Philippines and there are a plethora of lancer boxtypes here and that’s because they are a cult car here
alot of them can be frequently seen on the road (that’s because they’re over 40 years old and LTO only allows cars over 40 years old to be operated on weekends) while alot of them are at local junkyards waiting to be bought and restored
They’re like the AE86 of Philippines
Wow. That is amazing. Thanks for the info, Ian. :)

Such a lovely example of the lancer. So straight and clean
Thanks, Ryan :)
AE86: Who are you?
Lancer EX Turbo: I’m you but affordable.
We had the Celeste in Canada. They were called dodge arrow or Plymouth arrow. The high end was a fire arrow 4 wheel disc brakes and 2.6 sohc engine
You can commonly see them here in Philippines all modified and its rare to see a stock these days.
That is very true restomods with some mixed parts to keep it roadworthy
In the USA, we got the Lancer Celeste as the Plymouth Arrow; and I haven't seen one in 20+yrs. Great video as always.
Thanks Joe. :)
Finally! Great video! 👍

banpeinet cheap in the philippines but in japan is rare
and it reminds me of initial d stuff:Lancer Evo 3s are like this Lancer Turbos
This gen lancer very popular in Trinidad. We call it the box lancer...nowadays they are popular for racing and ppl like swapping SR20s in them
My family had a Lancer the same as the "Celeste" in Australia when I was a kid!
Great video dan! Love these cars
I've got two original Lancer 2000 Turbo's like this, one LHD from Germany, the other RHD from the UK 😁
Nice!
I'd kill for one of the mph speedometers from the uk, all 3 of my japanese spec 1800 gsr's have kph, would be nice to have at least one in mph since im in the states lol. Lovely cars though! Mine are geared a bit low for the freeyway, gonna source a 3.54:1 as mine right now probably tops out around 115mph and cruises 72mph at roughly 3900rpm

The Mitsu Celeste was sold as the Plymouth Arrow here in the states, I believe.
made by mitsubishi huh ?
i'm shocked! i thought these were as common as hachirokus and fairladies, you learn something new everyday! i really love the boot's spoiler. discreet and elegant. really nice car, and looks really good on gray even though i love sapporo white :D
oh i forgot to mention! tell your passengers to use seatbelts!! my uncle had a gold menkio and when my grandma visited my uncles in 2013, a cop saw my grandma without her seatbelt and bye bye gold, he's still pissed lol. it's 2018 so i'll ask him if he was a good boy since :P

We have a lot of them in Trinidad. Also the nissan Laurel c33,35,32,31, Nissan cefiro
Nice. Yeah, I know of a few Laurel fans over there.
aye, that little turbo engine from the lancer is what i need aha. been re doing a 77 lb lancer on my channel at the moment. same as that rally type one in the first shot you showed of the mitsubishi auto gallery. I've currently got the 1.6l in mine. all stock but could be changing pretty soon
I saw a couple of your vids, Sebastian. Very cool. I'm a bit jealous :)
My dad owns a fully original turbo lancer box GSR with RE Watanabes and a EX in mid restoration.
Nice!
Had one stripped out with Sr20 det all Silvia running gear apart from it still had solid rear axle but with LSD, mental car drawback steering box no rack
Nice
Happy to say i have one in the shed .
Oh! Lucky
I always learn something new, thanks.
Hi Sir Daniel hop u r well, congrats on ur up grade to golden driver license😊 thanx for the great vidris as always just to point out the 1st generation rally Mitsubishi in the museum used to rally in Kenya with our local driver joginder singh.. they hav many videos of the car in action 😊 the driver with the car got a title name of simba wa Kenya meaning lion of kenya😊 thanx for this clip otherwise was not sure where the car went but happy to know it's preserved well😊
Looks awesome on the mesh wheels
Seen the 1st gen lancers here in Australia, also seen the celeste version but not sure it was called the celeste here.
Ah yes, they were both just called chrysler lancer and chrysler lancer hatch
Yeah, I remember those Lancers back in Oz back in the day
When Mitsubishi 1st came to UK in the early '70s with the Lancer it was branded as Colt Lancer and not Mitsubishi Lancer and the tag line was "Colt, a tough new breed of car" My uncle bought the 1st one I ever sae.
Nice. Don't know if you know, but was he happy with his purchase?
I was very young at the time but pretty sure he'd have been happy. Japanese cars were a breath of fresh air compared to the British tat at the time with poor finish and poor reliability. However the Japanese cars rusted pretty quickly in our poor climate.
3:30 - the "woodie" Mini wagon must be pretty rare in Japan!
There is the L type tailight that is older than the bar type tailight (Red) Lancer.
we have alot here in philippines but
the gsr,ex,gt are rare here
Japan is the opposite. GSR, GT, etc... are still are, but lower grade cars don't exist.
do they have a lot of parts their that they ship
KEVIN TRVANO hei what is the Difference of GSR and GT
@@ucreations1038 just different trims
Nice! I don't know what that guardrail situation did to my chance since I didn't get at the police.
Hope you make a video of 📹 celeste way back in 1992 my uncle use to have that car it was first gen with rounded light and chrome plated bumpers although It was 4G32 TIMING CHAIN CAM DRIVE IF IM NOT MISTAKEN 1.6L. Sadly after 3 years he semi restored it sadly wrecked by his son in law when it roll over on a gravelled road miss and fell in love that car helping him restoring way back sadly junk yard take her away had to let it go
Damn, that's a sad story. Alas, the Celeste is a very rare car in Japan. I just don't see any around. Well, except the one I showed in this video.
By the way thanks and appreciate hope to see in near future of this video if you got a chance to make this VERY RARE CELESTE AND GALANT COUPE this particular model of mitsubishi was produce also here in philippines sad to say nowadays never seen such car fully restored running in streets and car shows mostly it was leftover rotted
hey Dan is there any gsr-x sigma model cars there in Japan. I'm in Aus an drive a vr4 galant
That was the best now all we need is early galant video (sigma),I tried to find pictures of my car from many years ago and they are harder to find than galants in Japan .
So for me being a Mitzi person your best work yet and no more two weeks off what do you think 🤔 hey your on holidays over there
Back to work more videos required
Glad you enjoyed it, David. :) Lol. I'm on holidays? I'm pretty sure I'm not.
What is the thing that you miss more from the West? Beautiful channel
Almost everything :/
WasabiCars Ahahah lol 😉
Whats the difference between licences? do you get anything for holding a gold licence?
Forgive the copy-and-pasted response: "The immediate thing is that you don't have to sit & watch the hour long video on traffic safety when re-newing. Also, you don't have to renew it for a longer period. It's cheaper. Also, insurance is cheaper."
i have one now...its a GSR..here in Manila :)
Have any side draft manifold
1800sirus
I remember this lancer A pillar will rust through in less than 2 years from new
My uncle has a 1979 Mitsubishi gsr that was imported from Singapore
In Malaysia they called "Lancer Kotak".
Have you seen alot of junk/abandoned Lancer Ex there in Japan? It must be Rescued before they put it in to the crusher...
Every Lancer EX I've seen is in this video.
WOW!!!... i love that little green datsun 100A coupé, what a cutie. and i gotta love 80s japanese cars in general. i love the boxy shape of those cars
Wow. So much love :D
What year is that Lancer? We might have gotten something close to it, in the form of our Mirage, or maybe the Plymouth Colt. Though I might be wrong...
This model was never sold in the US. The Mirage/Colt was a different (smaller) beast with a similar wedge shape.
Daniel is right...Wikipedia is your friend. Check it for more info.
Chalres Kirkland The Lancer Celeste was sold here as the Plymouth Arrow… I think there may even have been a pickup-bed version.
cerberus1981 damn, I forgot about the Plymouth Arrow! That was an unpretty hatchback, until the Cordia came along.
Can you do more bluebird 910s, if possible?
Their kind of cool. Sort of look like a VW Jetta. Thank you for sharing. :)
Cool car!
Thank you :)
did you find any mitsubishi galant sigma 3rd gen in japan?
Mega, mega, mega rare. I've got pictures of a couple, but video footage of just one.
What do you drive Daniel? If dont have an old jnc, what would you buy? I would go a silver 160j coupe 😁
My car is a 2011 Suzuki Wagon R. Not special at all. Ahh, the 710. Nice. Btw, I have footage of a sedan that I should make into a video... What would I buy? Tough to answer. Hmmm... This double-cab Corona Mark II pickup perhaps. i.ytimg.com/vi/OwetxiT6oRY/maxresdefault.jpg
When and where is the next car meet ?
For me it'll be the 25th of this month. Last year was the first year of this event. Didn't go. I heard there was a big turn out though.
Oops. Where = Tamana in Kumamoto.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed :)
Hey Daniel what are the perks of having a gold licence in Japan?
I immediate thing is that you don't have to sit & watch the hour long video on traffic safety when re-newing. Also, you don't have to renew it for a longer period. It's cheaper. Also, insurance is cheaper.
Great perks! Good on ya mate.
where is place ?? I live in japan 🇯🇵
I want buying bro🤲
It was at a car show at Autopolis in Oita
Really !
I live in fukuoka ,, plz give me ur mobile number
@@Charisplace_G_C_R No. But, if you look on my channel you'll see all of my social media accounts
Good stuff! So what does gold mean on your driving license? Enjoyed the upload as alway!👍👍👍👍
I immediate thing is that you don't have to sit & watch the hour long video on traffic safety when re-newing. Also, you don't have to renew it for a longer period. It's cheaper. Also, insurance is cheaper.
WasabiCars pretty COOL! So VIP status then!LOL!..NICE!
Yeah, status too ;-)
So everytime you renew your license you have to watch a traffic safety video?
thezoexperience1 yes! Car insurance here gets cheaper once you hit the age bracket.
Your the best
Thanks Andrei :D
G'day Dan'l. Sweet looking Mitsubishi Lancer. What does the gold mean on your driver's license? :)
Hey, Jason. The immediate thing for me with the gold license was that I did't have to sit & watch the hour long video on traffic safety when re-newing. Also, you don't have to renew it for a longer period. It's cheaper. Also, insurance is cheaper.
Lancer box type

Classic

Thanks, man. Hope you been well. :)
