This is my 1994 Mitsubishi Magna TS V6si. The 'si' model was a factory-special that came with a few extra features such as 4 wheel ABS brakes with twin piston callipers, rear spoiler, 15" alloy wheels, body coloured bumpers and velour trim on the interior of the car. The engine is a 12 valve SOHC 6G72 fuel injected 3.0L V6. This one is a 4 speed automatic and is very
comfortable to drive and handles well for a large car.

Interior modifications
The interior has a brushed aluminium dash kit from Import Scene and the instrument cluster has silver trim with blue lighting. Chrome pedals have been added.

The steering wheel is an Autotecnica 350mm Racer Pro which is much nicer to grip than the standard wheel.
Stereo Setup
I've installed a Pioneer stereo system. The head unit is a DEH-P6350 CD Tuner with blue OEL Display, remote and detachable face. The rear speakers are 2-way TS-A6945 6x9's and the front speakers are TS-C1620 16cm bullet splits mounted in custom panels. The tweeters are mounted in the factory dash-speaker positions. The speakers are powered by a Blaupunkt MPA-680 4x65wrms amplifer in the boot. The bass that the 6x7's produce is nice and punchy, so I have not added a subwoofer.

A necessary addition is the Dynamco car alarm with siren, dual immobiliser, glass breakage sensors, remote entry, battery backup, etc.
Exterior modifications
I was lucky enough to pick up a body-kit on an online auction. The sideskirts are Veilside-style and the front bar was originally desiged for a Nissan Skyline R-33, and had already been adapted to fit the Magna. The front bar is no longer on the car (damaged), but will soon be replaced with a new custom bar. The rear spoiler is the factory V6si spoiler with brake LEDs.
The windows have been tinted with 3M Carbon-Black 30% tint, which look dark while still meeting the legal requirement for tinted windows.
The current wheels are 17x7 Enkei Ralliart rims (although 17x7 CSA Technics are shown in some photos). The wider tyres (225/55/17) grip to the road very well.
Narva Compac 100 LED driving lights (2 stage lights) can be seen in the photos with the custom front bar. These lights have a LED ring that illuminates with the parking and low beam, and H3
high beam globes that light up the road very well!
I've also made a few minor visual enhancements such as blue painted brake calipers, de-badged the faded "Magna" emblem from the boot, clear side and front indicators and brighter LED tail lights.
Handling modifications
The car is fitted with a Whiteline strut-brace and heavy duty rear sway-bar. These stiffen up the body and improve steering as well as reduce body-roll when cornering. The car is lowered slightly with Lovells Sports springs and K&B Shocks.

There is also DBA slotted brake rotors, and Lucas brake pads to be fitted for improved braking.
Performance modications
I have only done mild peformance modifications, and because this car is driven on a daily basis (and because of 50km/h speed limits, speed cameras and insurance), I don't have any plans for increasing the power of the car in the near future.
Simply helping the car breath easier improves peformance and economy, so the car has a free-flowing K&N Panel air filter and a Lukey 2 1/2" straight through muffler.
