The handbook is in manga, which is lolworthy.

All I got in my handbook was a zillion mentions of the cool crap that the Evo and Ralliart get that I...didn't.

I want a manga handbook! That crying headlamp is sooooo cute!

You should see the pages where they warn little kids about the electric windows.

Why don't you scan em for us and let us share in their glory?

Many Japanese cars had manga-illustrated manuals in the 80s and early 90s. The Pathfinder manual has a few manga pics in it too.

Here are the summer wheels. Not sure yet, if I should get new winter tires mounted on them or the winter wheels.

The wheels on it at the moment are a lot better. They fit more with the age of the car. Keep the others as the winter tyres.

This man speaks wise words.

Yes. And MXM pointed out those look like they have cocks for spokes.

Took a look at the winter wheels, looks like they can be spruced up quite easily. They're not really kerbed, the paint has merely come off a bit and they're grimy.

I never said such thing!

You worded your comment in such a way that it was easy for me to spot the resemblance

 

[MXM]

Now who has a dirty mind?

 

[ninjacoco]

Peeeeeeeniiiiiisssssss!

I never would've noticed that, but now that it's been said, it's hard to notice anything else!

I do agree that the winters fit the car better, though. I think you should find a more angular wheel design and sell the summer rims.

"Once you see it"

I've been thinking of a 16" set of Volvo S/V40 T4 BBS:s, which are pretty affordable and easy to come by. The bolt pattern matches.

However, at the moment the Mitsu is suffering from brake issues. I had the brake fluid changed yesterday, and they didn't bleed them properly despite several tries. The pedal feels soft and mushy, and goes easily to the carpet, after which it's up to the ABS to stop the car. Unsettling despite the tire update.

those stock rims clean up REALLY well and they're a nice spordy design...
