    "Mitsubishis... They are like the neighborhood dog that you have accidentally adopted - you can list 101 million things you hate about it, but then you forget all that and start loving it because there is this one thing that it will do to put a smile on your face... it will get you hooked on and you overlook every other damn bit of annoyance and defend it to death."  -iRage

  1. Price: $9.92 on Aliexpress (with shipping) Security verification via https://catalog.mann-filter.cn/
  2. TS10 - Pro https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32720737378.html Another plus point of getting one specifically designed for your vehicle model is you don't have to modify the original factory harness - the unit comes with a T-harness which plugs into the original factory adapter so it's plug-and-play, just as if you bought an original Japanese HU
  3. Chinese Android unit with a good sound processor + DSP. I got one for my Lancer which has the factory speaker set, sounds way crispier than a Pioneer HU in a same spec Lancer. Equalizer options are pretty neat too. Plus you can run Spotify/Youtube Music directly through the HU. Mine cost 75k back in 2022 when the $ was like 205-210LKR from Aliexpress Go for one with a ROHM32107 or better sound processor and I'm sure you won't be disappointed
  4. Any idea if the problem existed before the ATF change?
  5. When did you or the previous owner replace the ATF? It sounds like a transmission issue. Check if the ATF level is correct and if the fluid looks burnt
  6. Even if it's a drain and fill?
  7. If it's a permit import there could be special conditions which would be deleted after some time Eg: Cannot be transferred until 3 years / 5 years... so and so... that would be deleted after the stipulated time period
  8. According to my cheap ELM327 scanner there is hardly a difference between 100% 92OCT and 50% 95OCT when it comes to knock sensor readings... Got myself a Launch scanner, will repeat the test and see if there'd be a difference
  9. Yep totally worth the investment
  10. Car scanner pro version. Easily the best app for ELM327 readers out there https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner&hl=en&gl=US I also bought a Launch CRP129-I from the winter sale on Aliexpress for $135 including shipping, quite the bargain if I do say so myself. Still waiting for it to be delivered tho
  11. What does the owner's manual say? If it says 95 Octane is mandatory and any lower would damage the engine I wouldn't pump 92RON. I have a Mitsubishi Lancer, the owners manual recommends 95RON but states gasoline with an octane rating above 90RON is compatible because the car has a knock control system (almost all modern vehicles have this system afaik) and pumping 90RON or above would not damage the engine. If there is no audible knocking sound from the engine after pumping 92 I think it would stand to reason that the knock control system is capable of adapting the engine to 92RON. For example, fellow forum member @misnad tried pumping 92RON to his Civic and had to revert back to 95RON because the engine started audibly knocking despite the knock control system If you have an ELM327 OBD scanner you can see how much your knock control system is retarding the engine timing to compensate for lower octane fuel. Compare the readings between 92RON and 95RON and if there is not much of a difference it would be safe to assume that switching to 92RON wouldn't be an issue long-term
