Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

What good options are there for adding auxilliary input (my ipod), or bluetooth, for music? Reading on these forums it sounds like there aren't any good ones (that won't cost a mint). Replacing the head unit (which I'm reluctant to do) disables the little screen, and from what I've seen bluetooth...

post all gone.. .

I have a 380 Series II with an Automatic Transmission problem that Mitsubishi seems unable to resolve. I am getting a severe shudder/shock, accompanied by a momentary surge in RPM as the transmission transitions from 3rd to 4th, or 4th to 5th. Additionally, I get the same problem every time I...

Hello all, Have a 2005 Mitsubishi 380 VRX with 170,000km on the clock. Had the car since new and have been very much happy with it. I had the cam belt done back in August 2011. Got a complete belt kit (Bosch brand) including tensioners fitted. A short time after this (coincidentally) I...

Thought I'd start a new thread about the lower intake mod. Did mine last week and after a fair few km's, I would definetely recommend it. RPW have tested it with proven gains so for those not wanting to go all the way with a pod, this is worth a go....

Hi all, After reading about some members having trouble starting their 380's due to a faulty switch, next thing it happened to mine so I went and picked up the part straight away and today I swapped the parts over. Here's a brief write up...... First, start with a 380 ...

Has anyone fitted an additional cooler to their auto trans? Notice any difference to response etc?

Guys Got a new straight thru rear muffler fitted yesterday. Definetely helps it rev out better & now pushes harder at the top end but unfortunately its a little too loud for my wifes liking. Therefore, it goes back next Tuesday for a quieter one. If anyone wants a 1 day old straight thru...

** QUESTION MOVED FROM TECH TORQUE (NEXT STEP) THREAD ** Answers follow - 1/ With the two rear O2 sensors which are relocated to behind the main underbody cat, I have inserted spacers with a restrictor hole at the exhaust pipe end to space them away from the exhaust flow. This basically...

I'm currently stripping down a S3 380, how does one extract it from the car? It's ready to come out, but I don't want to damage it as the mould is good, just needs a new lining.

just got back from driving a red 380 vrx manual. must say i liked it very much, so did the wife. very quiet, plenty of grunt. handles & brakes really nice. aprox. $41k on road. completely different car to drive than my tj. obviously. nothing wrong with tj & its still under new car warranty for 12...

OK, with Greg's help (ie: he did the work, I took photos, swore at cable ties and drank coffee) my bluetooth kit has been installed. Here's a DIY with photos for you to try at home, also helps with anyone who wants to pull the dash apart, as it really IS very easy on the 380's, much easier than...

Hi all, No luck with the search in relation to this issue. My 380's cigarette lighter outlet has stopped working. Fuse is fine so I was going to take it out and see if any issues with the actual unit. Not sure how you get this out. Do you remove the entire trim piece around it or does it pop out...

Have had my Series 3 Vrx for sale in a number of different places including this forum for a few weeks now at $11000 without any interest. Will list it in carsales in a couple of weeks but want to get the pricing right without "giving it away". Average asking price on carsales is $11500 but the...

So Ive been looking at getting a Berklee Muffler for a few weeks and finally decided today Id get a muffler put on my car. Went to an Exhaust Shop and the guy told me that Berklee's were crap, needs replacing after 2 years and stuff. He then pushed the brand he stocks, Zetti. After having my...

I know this topic has been covered to death - but has anyone found out conclusivly whether or not fitting the intake to an Aussie 380 will have any affect on factory warranty?
