New owner from the UK airtrek R import just saying hello

[Airtrek UK 88]

Hey

so I tend to go for unusual niche cars as I love them I had a foresterSTI SF5 Before and loved it with the mods I did to it...

so I believe the airtrek is pretty much the Mitsubishi version of the Forster.

I have a fresh import that I will pick up in about 2 weeks and I am looking forward to picking her up, just a couple of questions

I’ve searched and I believe brembo callipers for the evo may not be a straight swap?
Is there any brembo callipers that are a straight swap??

I kno for the forester I could use a lot of Impreza stuff that functioned.

is there any exhaust systems that fit the airtrek again from the evo etc

parts? Where Is the best place

also uk owners where are you :)?? Not many around I think.

Firstly welcome to ZTH forum. Not sure much UK owners here, even local owner are less now as the airtrek is aging and many have changed to other rides.....

its been a long time since i did my researching, but if im not mistaken for the evo 7/8/9 calipers you will need;
calipers, disk (ofc), knuckle and driveshaft.... or you know, just fabricate an adapter (do double check this info)

Welcome dude.

Most of us here won't be able to help you with "where" to get parts, as we're mostly Malaysian here with the occasional Chinese spam-bot and other foreigners, but the Airtrek is an old platform which is familiar to a lot of us here so we can tell you what to find and how to go about it. But again - we're not familiar with your environment so we won't be able to tell you whether a certain part is common or not in your part of the woods.

Question : Why'd you go from a scooby to a Mitsu?

Question : Why'd you go from a scooby to a Mitsu?

Now I see this question, making me think of my friend. His scooby v8 (I think) stolen , he went and buy Evo X.......lol
