Well done

As much as I dislike them I wonder if an IVC throttle controller would help. We have had a couple of successful fixes getting rid of throttle lag in ASX Mitsubishis.Usually it’s the other way round we disconnect them to get rid of the issues they cause.

Curiosity question. Are you flat shifting or shifting normally ie lifting off the accelerator when disengaging the clutch?

Welcome

Good luck.A second hand unit will work out cheaper for you

Lot of hard work there to protect your car. It is in way better condition than a lot of other cars from that area

ECU fix in Melbourne were the ones you’re looking for but they seem to have disappeared.The next best option is COOLDRIVE,last time I had one done with them it was around $1000.Takes a week to get it done and the labour to R&R the unit and bleed the brakes should only be 1 hour

Had a look at my Evo today and all I can suggest is that it’s due to the amount of rain you’ve had in Sydney.I get after on my engine in the rain but not enough to worry it.

Sounds like you have a serious electrical issue.Find a mechanic and have them look at it. You can’t diagnose these sorts of problems over the keyboard.
The only thing I can think of without looking at the car is maybe an issue with the serpentine belt slipping due to an idler pulley seizing.

That’s right I think they only had one open.I don’t have an answer for you.I’ll have a look on my car tomorrow and see if I see anything obvious

What about the two smaller vents towards the front of the bonnet,do they have the blanking plates still fitted?

Is the cover over the coils in place?It normally isn’t a problem.

You’ll need to find one from a VRX which will fit perfectly

I was reasonably sure the VRX didn’t have one but I thought the Aspire being the high end model may have had one.The factory immobiliser is going to foil your average thief.
