^Thanks manik. I am glad you think I'm doing things right.
^Thanks Shane. No I will not be at the shootout. If I'm fortunate enough, I might try to crash Cars & Coffee in MN, so CarRacer can see the car or show up at the Mitsu Cookout in MN too.
Alright guys, it looks like Spring is here. Time for some updates and hopefully soon this thing will be running. I'm stuck on setting timing belt tension with the motor in, so I might take the car in to get properly degreed to cam card specs. Other then that, it's just putting new clamps on and checking torque specs.
Used OEM sunroof deflector thanks to gizmovr4.
New custom battery tie-down made by my friend Matt in machine class. Thanks lil' boy!
Used StarQuest rear-view mirror. Thanks to Curtis for the idea.
New SSR B-type High center caps.
Used AMG spark plug cover. Need to freshen up the letters with some paint. Thanks jordanvr4.
New Koni Yellow Sport struts from KC. 1G front inserts and 2G rears. Need to decide on springs and rates. Also need to get front inserts installed into new KYB GR-2 housings.
New Brembo slotted 1G DSM rotors. I think I read the late model 2G's had a different style rotor.
New Project Mu Type NS pads front and rear. They do make pads and rotors for our cars if some of you are into the JDM stuff. Don't see too many people using them or even Endless.
Better pic of the ETS FMIC.
Used StarQuest open leather head rests. Bolt right in. I kind of want to go for the Monte Carlo look.
New 2G leather heavy shift knob. Stock shift knob had no numbers left and is a little light. Trying to keep the interior quiet because of the aftermarket Momo steering wheel. Already scratched the new knob somehow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
New Momo Monte Carlo. Fits well with the car, is period-correct, and a classic. Spoon Sports and Ferrari used them. The stock steering wheel was worn badly, so it had to go. Already managed to scratch it when pulling the underdash out. Sharp brackets. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
New clutch, brake, and gas pedals. Just a little dirty from the garage. Grips on the old ones were pretty worn.
Used '89 underdash. Looks like a regular storage compartment similar to the one in my '96 Camry. Thanks strokin4dr.
Oh so sleepy. Buddy Matt H. made the backing plate in machine class for me. Thanks to Matt H. for the work and Mr. Mitsu for his idea. New AEM wideband/boost gauge and used AEM oil pressure gauge. Need to get the oil pressure hooked up. Thanks to onesickcrx for the oil gauge.
Been collecting grilles to switch up the look if I feel like. I think it is so badass that we have so many OEM grilles to choose from. Used '92 grille thanks to Paul Thornton.
New '89 aftermarket grille. Non-OEM. Quality is so-so. I think I might want a real one with the big diamonds later on. The slats on this grille go so well with the JDM front bumper slats. Cheekypimp inspired me.
Used Cusco front strut bar. Thanks MMCVR4.
Been stockpiling badges. New Galant badge.
New NLA MMC and matching diamonds.
New VR-4 badge.
New Super VR-4 badge. Thanks Ahmad.
New Tuned by AMG badge for the chrome mesh grille. Thanks G.
New Full Time badge. Thanks oldmantau.
New Ralliart trunk badge. Thanks G.
New Ralliart grille badge. Might use two of the emblems without bracket for the fenders. Thanks G.
New GReddy FV (Floating Valve) BOV. These have been out less than a year I think. Haven't seen anyone on here using one, so I am testing it out. Going to be recirculated, but just thought I'd show the new funnel design. Also new 32mm recirc fitting in black. No option for blue. Also notice the details in the new design. Not trying to whore, but I like the details. Fakes are already available.
