Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

OK, so I guess I should stop lurking. After almost 2yrs of it that is.

My daughter Mika will be the give away of who I am. Some of you met her at Japanoid back in April.





I picked up my deLOOKA from Japanoid. Same day as you Pinkfingers. We came by after 300pm that day.
Was hoping to meet you. Afterall we were waiting for our Deli the same time.

DeLOOKA came with 99k. High Thule roof rack. Delica storage box (removable) that sits between cpts chair. Snow chains for stock tire size. Found, by chance, a spare key in one of those magnetic boxes. My ice box has an ice tray. Owners manual. Service manual.

It also had 4 fog lights. 2 yellows below bumper and 2 HUGE whites between headlights. Back-up camera w/7"monitor. But guess what? I had the camera removed, the whites removed and gave it away. Just have the yellows between the headlights. And also removed the visors not too long ago. Too big for my liking.



Added new sony stereo (stock speakers good enough for now). Alarm. Tinted rear window. Of course the E/H hitch.



500kms to a tank of which I have not been able to put in more then 62L. Mainly because I don't have the guts to find out how much further I can go on E.

History:
Came from, Fukui, Japan. North of Kyoto.
Was insured till last year. The previous owner had driven the van an average of 5000k for the last 4yrs. I beleive i'm owner #3.

So what more can I say. This is what a van should be in my opinion.
Cargo vans are too big for me and super expensive to convert into a 4x4 and mini vans, I love the room but is missing out on the 4x4 thing.

Why name it deLOOKA? That is how a friend calls these vans. And I likey!

Oh and 1 more thing. You know you're a RHD owner when you get in your LHD car and have the wipers go on instead of the signal lights. My wife has a good laugh when I do that.

Are you the dude parking on Magnolia/Prenter street per chance???

If so, I'm the guy with the white one
and either way, WELCOME!

Yes that would be me.

I think I have a disorder of some sort because I pause when I hear you drive by. Not sure why.

Thanks!

Yes, It's called "Delicatitis"
Most of us suffer from it.

PS: THANK YOU TO ALL for the wonderful advice/help/tips... you have been giving on this forum.
Mucho appreciated. And because I am not totally inclined to be mechanical, looks like I may have to do the beer trade system.

It would have been great to meet you. It looks like our vans could almost be twins, except for a few minor details. Looks like the same color scheme at any rate. Glad you joined the forum. Welcome.

well i must have it really bad. ive only known about Delis for a few weeks... and i don't even own one yet..

There is no known cure to Delicitis,
but then I am not really looking!

Nice Rig!
right on!

It helps to own one. Almac I sugest you buy one soon, before it gets out of control

Hi Isaac and Mika,

Glad you finally posted pictures of your van, looks almost as good as mine! We met before you actually bought it and very glad it came through. Myself, Deanna and the kids are in Europe right now but when we get back home it'd be nice to meet up again.

Take care,
David

Ok this is too funny.
When I saw the thread title i laughed thinking, hey someone has the same idea as me.
Then I look at the author and hey that's me. My posting from a year ago was reborn.
That's all.

David, I think the only way mine could be better then yours and all the other white Deli owners is if I get the van painted Pearl white. Black trimming. Flat black rims.

See you when you get back.
