Kim's TS V6si

This is my 1994 Mitsubishi Magna TS V6si. The 'si' model was a factory-special that came with a few extra features such as 4 wheel ABS brakes with twin piston calipers, rear spoiler, 15" alloy wheels, body coloured bumpers and velour trim on the interior of the car. The engine is a 12 valve SOHC 6G72 fuel injected 3.0L V6. This one is a 4 speed automatic and is very comfortable to drive and handles well for a large car.

Interior modifications
The interior has a brushed aluminum dash kit from Import Scene and the instrument cluster has silver trim with blue lighting. Chrome pedals have been added. The steering wheel is an Autotecnica 350mm Racer Pro which is much nicer to grip than the standard wheel.

Stereo Setup
I've installed a Pioneer stereo system. The head unit is a DEH-P6350 CD Tuner with blue OEL Display, remote and detachable face. The rear speakers are 2-way TS-A6945 6x9's and the front speakers are TS-C1620 16cm bullet splits mounted in custom panels. The tweeters are mounted in the factory dash-speaker positions. A necessary addition is the Dynamco car alarm with siren, dual immobiliser, glass breakage sensors, remote entry, battery backup, etc.

Exterior modifications
The front bar is an "ES Style" Toyota Corolla bar custom-made to fit the Magna. The sideskirts are Veilside-style, also custom-made. The rear spoiler is the factory V6si spoiler with brake LEDs. The windows have been tinted with 3M Carbon-Black 30% tint, which look dark while still meeting the legal requirement for tinted windows. I've also made a few minor visual enhancements such as blue painted brake calipers, de-badged the faded "Magna" emblem from the boot, clear side and front indicators and brighter LED tail lights.

Handling modifications
The car is fitted with a Whiteline strut-brace and heavy duty rear sway-bar. These stiffen up the body and improve steering as well as reduce body-roll when cornering. The car is lowered slightly with Lovells Sports springs and K&B Shocks. There is also DBA slotted brake rotors, and Lucas brake pads to be fitted for improved braking. The tyres are Falken Zien 225/55/17 on 17x7 Enkei Ralliart rims.

Performance modifications
As this car is driven on a daily basis, I have only done mild performance modifications. Simply helping the car breath easier improves performance and economy, so the car has a 2 1/2" straight through muffler. I have also fitted an Apexi SAFC-ii air/fuel controller to give the car a better air/fuel ratio - however have not tuned this yet. To improve my fuel consumption I also fitted a Fitch Fuel Catalyst, which to my surprise actually works. This improved my economy by an average 25kms per 50L tank of fuel.
