That's a fleabay china special turbo. Works great as a door stopper, but that's about all it's good for.

Found this in my garage while cleaning up. I bought this just for the return line a few years ago and forgot I still have this. It has been cleaned up pretty well but has a few small dents. Asking $20 plus actual shipping cost.

Don't let the insurgents know that you like those. They'll start using them for IEDs.

Save yourself the headache, just buy a GVR4. The swap you want to do might cost near to or more than the GVR4's in the for sale section.

This happened to me 8 years ago on my 1st gen GST, turned out to be the infamous ECU caps.

When I was still in the Philippines, dumb dogs that eat/destroy everything gets eaten by the local drunks! Is that still going on?

You know there is a second set of plug wires in that box of parts that I gave you. I called you but you didn't answer so I sent the datalogger charger and shifter bushings to the Vegas address you gave about 12 hours ago.

Bryan, check the Base Idle Set Screw. Remember, the car was surging and I had to adjust it to compensate when the idle stabilized (after it gets to operating temps). Also, the ECU was recapped by Terry Posten in late 2007 and the car has been garaged most of the time and I've only added a few...

Used a "vatozone" alternator which crapped out in less than two months. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done this before.

Smoking is a bad habit, tell your car to quit, buy nicotine patches.

You're welcome. Thank you for coming out to get her! With the number of miles you did driving home, the clutch should be broke in and you're ready to bring the boost up slowly to 18psi. Remember to datalog and tune every time you bring the boost up. Adjust the Greddy Type S blow off valve...

Sold........

Sale pending.

Ryan, I would love to trade you, it would be easier to sell that here ( I would probably make more money too), but it would be worth a lot more if the car has a BAR label and all the emission stuff was intact, taking an out of state car without those are too much of a risk. The CA DMV might not...

Joel, if you do buy the car, maybe you can go to the track (Willow Springs or Buttonwillow) with me. I still haven't taken 680 to the track.

Thanks guys! I maybe considering parting out this car if it does not sell by the end of June. Then again, I don't think I can do that to a perfectly drivable rust free CA GVR4.

Sounds like you have cylinders that are not firing, make sure your ignition and fuel injectors are working properly.

A couple of people did that saw it on craigslist, but they were major lowballers! One of the members from here will be stopping by this weekend and two other guys wants to see it Sunday if I still have it then.

Price drop to $3500!

Updated pics with everything reinstalled.

Installed pics as promisedFor those interested, this same kit is going to cost $320. His name is Rolando and his email is [email protected] and his number is 714-924-6799.

weekly bump......

FYI...I just realized that the headrests on my 93 montero SR is interchangeable with the GVR4's. I should have switched them out before I had the upholstery done since the montero headrests has the "cool" rectangular hole in the middle.

He can make it in any material that you want. Cost will differ obviously. He can double stitch them too for an additional $35.

I should get rest of the seats tomorrow, I'll post installed pics this weekend.

That's because 680 is always in the garage. And when I do drive her, it's only to Point Mugu when I report to my squadron or my civilian job in the mountains at Ventura by the 33. The only time she goes out other than those is to go to San Diego. I've seen you a couple of times, once at five...

Just realized that with a second kid on the way, I cannot have two project cars in my garage, I need to sell one to get a bigger vehicle. This is my project that I have beeen working on for the last five years and it's the only car that I've owned for more than two years. Mileage is 205K miles...

The cost will obviously vary though on what material you want used. I'm sure he can still do it for a lot less than other upholstery shops. I just called him right now and he's currently making the patterns for our seats and he'll save those for us. I'm trying to talk him into giving us...

GENO, if you are in LA. I can just PM you the guy's number. I would take advantage of that free install too since you are local. I'm actually going to take a look at the progress today since I'm down in Huntington Beach again anyway. Maybe it's far enough along so I can post some pictures.

Upholstery is a biatch! That's why I'm so glad he offered free install! I'm also lucky that I'm in Orange County twice a week for work so I'm not really going out of my way just to get this done. tsiboy, if you want the contact info for this guy, let me know and I'll PM you his number. He's in...

Actually, it's not for CRX seats, he will make kits for GVR4 seats. The CRX seats on the links were just examples.

I found an upholstery guy in Orange County that does pretty good work at a very reasonable price. I went to go check out his completed products yesterday and they were pretty impressive. Even better is that he can sell reupholstery kits with detailed "how to" instructions. Check out the links...

So it's fabricate your own then, I'm guessing no other cars' seat bracket are the same as e39a's. Thanks for the info. BTW, for anyone looking at WRX seats, even if they bolted in( they don't) they are too high. Even higher with a custom bracket.

So no one has ever tried to swap seats with 1g's or 2g's? Or mirages or lancers?

Are there any other mitsu's that share the same seat bracket footprint as our cars? DSM's maybe? I've had GVR4's and DSM's at the same time, I just never thought of comparing them or swapping seats just to see.

Wow! JDM bumpers everywhere! Next time I'm there, I need to figure out how to bring a nose clip back with me. Is Banaue still full of "surplus" japanese parts?

keep in mind also that if you go 18's, you might not be able to use your spare tire if you need to since there will be a significant size difference which is really bad on AWD cars. 17's with 45 series tires are just a hair off stock overall tire height.

This car was supposed to be an AWD conversion project that my brother and I was going to complete.But due to unfortunate circumstances (on my brother's part), we have to terminate the project and sell the car. Besides, I'm not selling my GVR4 just to have space for this one.The good: Rebuilt...

do you have any trays left?Thanks Allan

while we are on the topic of spark plugs, has anyone tried one of those plugstar plugs?? Supposedly, they can deliver 1 million watts of peak power.click

I ordered a set of whiteline springs and rear camber kit and got them way before I expected them. He even sent me the tracking number right away. Great guy. Very trustworthy.
