RATDAT

Code Name: Silvia

We have Jazman, Chin, Bryan, Yusof, Abang Mahzan with their Starions. Our brand new member, Farid, has just emailed me Starion pictures of him. Very good machine and well preserved. It's an introduction from him to all of us.


Hi! To all LSSOC members....

Here's my lady.... I call her Silvia (for obvious reasons). It's a 1983 Mitsubishi GSR-X, automatic transmission (but it carries the MMC logo rather the tri-diamonds). My father bought the car second hand back in 1984 or '85 (I cannot recall) and its been passed down to me. I am slowly trying to restore it to its formar glory as much as possible, budget prmits. It is still powered by the original spec engines, however the one it has now is not the original engine. The swop was done early 2008, we were lucky I suppose as it took some searhing but my machanic found a half-cut in Bentong and it had the same spec engine and auto transmission too (must be the last engine of its sort in M'sia), at around the same time I changed the seat covers too.

Hope you like the picture....

Warmest Regards,
Farid

There is a Challenger among Lambdas

One of the reasons why I keep writing down here is because I'm so into this oldskool scene. I love retro cars so much now. There will be inquiries in my inbox from time to time regard to Lambda or oldskool... and I just can't stop answering and posting anything related to the models.

Beside Ben, here is another great Lambda from Philippines. I believe this car used to have something those belong to the second gen Challengers which were very popular in the States thirty years ago. When I first time saw the bumper, I thought it's from some other maker. Now we've got an answer already.

Right here in Malaysia (or may be in Philippines too), Vin's Lambda bumper is super rare. However, over there in the States, Challenger enthusiasts are looking at what we've got here. Try your luck to trade with them.

So guys, let's have a look at Vin's very well preserved Lambda. Maraming salamat po! Thanks for sharing what you have with us.





Alvin would love to share his Lambda experience with you. Contact him at elvin_dems@yahoo.com to befriend and exchange experience.

Sejarah Dodge Challanger dan Mitsubishi Lambda

Generasi pertama Dodge Challenger mula di pasarkan di Amerika sekitar awal 1970an. Lebih tepat lagi pada tahun 1974. Pengeluarnnya berlaku pada jangka masa empat tahun sahaja sebelum diberhentikan dan disambung oleh generasi kedua. Generasi pertama dihasilkan untuk menyaingi Mustang Shelby/Fastback dan juga Chevvy Camaro terutamanya ketika itu. Dodge Challenger menjadi model paling diminati diantara model model lain.

Dodge Challenger generasi kedua dikeluarkan pada tahun 1978. Model ini adalah forgotten hero sebenarnya oleh peminat peminat Mopar. Dibina sepenuhnya oleh Mitsubishi dan 'rebagde' dengan nama Dodge, Plymouth ataupun Chrysler untuk pasaran tempatan di sana. Antara sebabnya Mitsubishi ingin melebarkan jualan kereta di Amerika dan turut bersaing dengan NIssan dan Toyota yang lebih awal bertapak di sana.

Pada 1973, krisis minyak berlaku dan Chyrsler pada ketika itu terpaksa mencari alternative kereta yang berkapasiti sederhana dan 'fuel efficient' untuk depasarkan dan memastikan penjualan dari jenama mereka berterusan. Mereka mendapati Mitsubishi dari serie empat cylinder ini adalah line-up terbaik untuk dipasarkan di rangkaian jualan mereka. Kesempatan terbaik itu diambil oleh Mitsubishi untuk memasarkan series Lambda di atas nama yang sudah gah iaitu Dodge Challenger.

Series Galant Lambda, Sapporo, Scorpion, Colt, Challenger dan lain lain lagi memang mempunyai kaitan. Tak sangka pulak kereta jahat yang aku beli dulu tu ada sejarah menarik. Memang aku minat jenis muscle car ni. Rupanya Lambda aku memang ada dna muscle sebenarnya. Go Lambda.. Go kereta Jahat..!
