Ian W Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 not so sure that's Mitsubishi mate, just a symbol. got any pics of the rest of the caliper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I am pretty sure that doesnt mean its a Mitsubishi part mate, that insignia could be for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 as said, the Mitsubishi sign is actually three diamonds and not three triangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boombastictiger Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 You havent seen the mitsi symbol much have you? Lol I just had a look at the Mits symbol...ur right its different...I just paniced because I have problem with the caliper so I thought maybe the person who had the car before me changed something or got a cheap replacement.... That caliper has seized a bit, I have to get it cleaned out apparently.. I should really have checked the symbol first though...hehe sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Haha yeap...How come theres an MOT symbol on the caliper? Its an upside down MOT symbol Interestingly it means that 'If this caliper is upside down at the time of an MOT then it will NOT pass' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Maybe its a 'radiation' symbol in japan, toxic brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Interestingly enough (or not - whatever ) my fuel cap has a Mitsubishi emblem on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I think the Turbos are mitsubishi units too, either that or Hitachi, cant remember. Mitsi make loads of bits for all sorts of applications in Japan, the car company is just one division of their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Greddy Turbos are made by Mitsi, the Greddy Badges stuck on them, T78 and 88 are infact Mitsubishi Heavy Industies Truck turbos and can be bought from Truck breakers yards for a fraction of the price. Also the translation of Mitsubishi from Jap to English mean 3 Diamonds hense the logo, just incase you did not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
