Mitsubishi Cordia TURBO, A rare breed......

Hello people, My first post I must have joined a half a dozen Mitsu. forums and I can find VERY little if ANY info on this rare and dying breed. Granted, its not a power house in todays standards, but it a fun little car to drive. For of you that have never heard of the car, Most auto parts store question me when I say Cordia... Its a turbocharged 1.8 SOHC 2 door hatch back. Ive owned a couple turbo cars in my time, Nissan 200sx Turbo, Mitsubishi Starion, Eclipse GST, ect. This little Turbo Cordia was bought to keep the miles off my Mini Cooper S, but the bug bit me and I stated to do a few things as install a FMIC, K&N Air filter, Blitz BOV, Act HD Clutch kit, MBC, Boost up to 11 PSI from stock 6 PSI, Turbo Timer and a dash full of gages. Now the car is a blast to drive. Sorry to ramble on, but do any of you know why might the Turbo Cordia be such a unknow car here in the states? The Cordia was VERY popular overseas, but not here. The Cordia had a nice production run, 1983 to 1988 then in 89 the Eclipse took its place. yet not that many people know about the Cordia and to my surprise alot of the Mitsubishi guys have never heard of the Cordia. Gee, I sound like a kid trying to find his roots...*LOL* How can I find out how many Turbo Cordias were sold here in the states?
Thanks.....

have any pictures you could show us?

I tried to post some pics 3-4 times, but keep getting a "Cannot display page" or something like that. Anyway, here is a link to a forum where I have some pics in my gallery. There are pics of my other rides, but you will see some of the Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo. Its the red car
P.S Pics of the Greddy Twin Turbo 350Z is not my car. They are pics of my Dads car when we were installing the Turbo kit. I wish it were mine....

hey, keep up the good work w/ your cordia...its one of the rare breed from mitsu.

very nice! was there an american model crossover, such as the conquest TSi? or something of that nature?

Mitsubishi had the Starion and they made the same car for Chrysler know as the Conquest. I dont think they had a crossover model for the Cordia. There was the Mirage and the colt that was the same car made by mitsubishi. The only other car that was made like the Cordia was the Mitsubishi Tredia which was the 4 door trunk model of the Cordia. Here in the states they were called Cordias and overseas they were Cordias. Im just amazed how many people never heard of the Cordia. Yesterday a guy pulled up next to me in a first gen. Eclipse turbo and ask what kind of car I was driving. I replyed Mitsubishi Cordia.

just do a yahoo or google search on cordia turbo. i did and found a few sites...
