Hi Malanie
I can still get the centre caps from Mitsubishi in Japan if you want one and they are about £27 each and welcome to the club.

Thank you. Will try this
I just turn off and remove key. Lock comes on automatically after a while
Thanks. Will call.
Great advice thanks
Thank you fabulous advice and glad to receive it
The steering lock turns off all of the power inside the car, radio, clock lights etc. If you turn the ignition off and don’t turn the key the extra turn by pressing the button then hopefully that will sort your battery drain out
Now that is a rare beastie in that colour
Hi Melanie
Just saw the photos and reckon you have a special version car, which mitsy also called MR, they made two batches of 150 and I presume you have one of the second batch, can you post a photo of the interior?
The first batch had leather with a gto logo.
Also they were usually supplied with the BBS wheels so it looks like your car is stock which is great.
It will have a z16a chassis code with rear steer, active aero, active suspension, they did it in an anthracite colour and a bluey greeny metallic colour ( very rare, never seen one except in a photo )
I have a special version as well so some photos below and just for info they made MR cars from Mk 2 onwards, z15a chassis code and all the active stuff removed.
You have a very rare car there one to cherish.
If you Google mitsubishi gto special version brochure you can see some more stuff.
And welcome to the club of course.
Just picked one of these up myself.
Not as tidy as these though.
Might be missing a panel or 2
That is lovely. I have cloth seats no gto stitching so must be the second edition. Absolutely adore The Beast. Never really see them round here (suffolk) thinking now about storage but prefer to drive him every day as I do now. Going to sign up for full membership and try to get him to a G T O meet even if it is on the back of a trailer. Need to talk to people with knowledge about what to do with him. And yes, Beast is a He.
Well we do hope JAE at Norfolk show ground will go ahead in August this year- this is probably the Clubs biggest event with weekend camping and lots of drinking

Thank you to everyone who took the time to advise on the battery issue. Turned out it was a parasitic drain from the old Toad alarm. Had the alarm replaced with Cobra. OMG Virtually the whole car was re-wired because some moron had previously messed with the electrics without earthing, the auto electrician was gobsmacked it had not caught fire in the years I have owned it. Still all is now peachy. Appreciate the advice, will bring it to a meet as looking to get valuation.

Hi James do you know if this us going ahead in Aug yet?
Hi Melanie,
I’m not sure yet - I guess we should know in the next week or two.
Are you a full member yet? FYI displaying cars at meetings etc… is generally aimed at full members only.
Cheers,
James
