Hey there!
I'm picking up #853/2000 tomorrow. She's been in a bit of an accident but no damage beyond a fender and door panels - I have already sourced local replacements.
There is a laundry list of updates/repairs she needs. If anyone has any tips or sources of parts for this let me know!
Most likely needs:
All suspension bushings & new suspension. Car feels really sloppy over bumps/through turns. Locally I have found an evo VIII suspension already retrofit on the car or I could go with full coilovers from DGR racing (DGR is a solid brand, I run them on my BMW). Does anyone know if there is a bushing kit I can buy online for the car?
Brakes. Pads & rotors. Any good sources for these? I figure I'd just get OEM style off rockauto if they are available.
Possibly exhaust/turbo manifold. I've heard they are prone to cracking and under load I do smell a bit of exhaust in the cabin. I'm assuming this is the most likely culprit. Any suggestions on an aftermarket one that would work with the stock turbo are appreciated.
Clutch. It's a bit slippy at the moment and I can feel a lot of vibration in the clutch pedal at higher RPM's - I'm assuming the throwout bearing is not aligned but I could be wrong (this is my first mitsubishi). Any tips here are greatly appreciated as far as what clutch to go with, how to replace it, any other items I may want to replace at the same time (flywheel?).
Altogether the car is in pretty great shape. Engine has 30k original miles on it and has had all belts replaced recently.
Is there anything else you would suggest I replace on a chassis approaching 100k?
Thanks!
