I want to be the next owner of this car so bad! It needs to stay in Colorado. <3

GLWSShe’s a beaut!

Title is incorrect. This is 221/1000.I own 231/1000 in Colorado.

I do have a welder, but have not completed my set up yet. Repairing it immediately isn't an option unless I out source it. New pan it is! I'll be switching to AN to replace the aftermarket rubber hose and barb setup that is there currently. Hopefully -10 should be plenty for a 16g.I did not...

After I spent some time removing all the old RTV I could, I noticed some cracks/damage inside the oil pan. My gut says to replace it. Should I?It looks like it could be from age and vibration and not a forceful fracture. My balance shafts have been deleted, could this be a side effect from the...

Thanks, Ill be sure to confirm bolt lengths. I'm sure there are some threads I can did up that have the lengths posted. As I've read, its the two forward most positions on the pan directly beneath the oil pump drive pully and the crankshaft timing pully.

Thanks for that suggestion. I just did something along those lines.When I first tried and failed, it was about 30 degrees in my garage so everything was cold af. This time around I brought the temperature of the seal housing up with a hair dryer on low. I didn't bake it, just got it up to room...

Don't count me out on toasting a motor yet. #231 is down for the count until I...a. find a confident tuner for DSMlink in my area. b. learn to tune myself. c. switch to Haltech as most tuners in my area will work with their platform.I'm leaning towards Haltech as I want that sweet sweet...

Thanks! Yes, I have that in my notes. Hole facing 6 and the tabs pointing inward toward the engine. I also bought a new oil control ring and housing so that I could use the take off as an example. I have a thing for spares.

It’s my first rear main seal job ever so I’m just going through a bit of a learning curve. I didn’t use the appropriate sized object to drive it in.Thanks for the response on the pan. That’s what I was hoping for, to just massage the lip of the pan back into place and to maybe take a light...

Hey pot, is that smaller waterpump pulley the one that is the same size as a rear main seal?If you still have it, id like to take it off your hands.

Specifically a rear main seal. I will be ordering another here in a little while. Before I do though, can someone confirm its the waterpump pulley that is the correct size for the installation tool. The one in the link is to large correct? Is there another hiding behind it?EDIT: Found it...

Mines a 92 so yes. I think I was unable to use one of his washers on the cable ends that connect to the shifter in cabin. All bushing fit and well I would add.

GSX-dude on DSMtuners makes a complete brass set. I just installed his 1g set on my car. This included the bushings on the trans as well. He also makes a more tightly fitted plastic bushing that slides onto the base of our shift levers. Not sure what it’s called.I remember seeing that he...

I would like to see it happen.

This looks great! Thank you Chris.Maybe we can test changing my screen name for science? ;) you know to check for bugs in that process.

I’ve been curious about some of those Mitsubishi parts sites. There’s like 20 of them. The sheer number of them had me questioning their validity.

I picked up front axles and front sway bar end links from O’rillys a couple weeks ago. They had them in store to boot.Also interested for a OEM parts source online. I can’t order from most of the sites like rock auto because I live in Colorado and sometime about taxes.

Things to consider:Head gaskets become crushed when the head has been torqued down. This is why a new head gasket is recommended.When you took the pistons out and put them back in…even though you reused and lined the rings up….mating surfaces have been changed.The mechanic that did...

Important note is that you reinstalled an old gasket. I’m sure people have done it before and got away with it. Doesn’t mean it should be done.I have no way of measuring your skills as a mechanic but whatever you did, it was done incorrectly. I’d recommend having someone near you who knows...

Some really nice cars out there. The show I went to today has nothing on that.Are those ROTA D154s on your car?I know the go to is 5 lug conversions but I’m really stubborn and want to stick with 4 lug.

The for sale ad for the 1g auto and transfer case popped up for me again. Not sure why is wasn’t there yesterday…But I think I read you’re looking for a 2g unit. Disregard if so.click

A auto trans and transfer case is on DSMtuners right now. Unless it has already sold.EDIT: looks like it’s already gone

Look at the boots on the rear steering rack, if they are swollen then the rear rack is leaking into the boots.The hydraulic lines running to the back of the car are known to leak.If rear steering has been deleted, check to see if the active toe has been locked out.You can pop off...

Would also pick up if I had a truck and trailer, I’m only 11 hours from you. My lady would kill me if I tried acquiring this from you. Good luck with saleEdit: sending you a PM.

I honestly wouldn’t be mad if there was a merge. Keeping it it’s own entity makes sense. However, It would be cool if there was a way to keep the site within DSMtuners, keep the same home page and web address and feel…but contained within. I’m sure it would be way more work than it’s worth. I’m...

Purchased some bushings from MellowVR4. Great communication and timely shipping. Would purchase from again.

Can’t see the photo, I am interested though. Sending you a PM.

If it’s a 4g63t and 6-bolt. You should be good. Specially if your after the block and head for rebuild.I feel like there may have been some compression ratio variation in 1g units, someone correct if I’m wrong on that. For sure the compression rations are different from 1g to 2g and 1g...

6 bolt it is.

Photos are not coming through for me.As long as it’s a 6 bolt I don’t see why it would be a bad idea to pick up a spare engine. I plan on picking up a spare drivetrain in the future for reasons. I’d rather be able to build out a spare at a comfortable pace rather than feel the burden of...

Same position here, would like confirmation that they can/will be available for ordering in the next couple months. I would be interested in two sets potentially.

Savages

Found a stock can on eBay. Hope this helps.click

There is a 1g GSX EPROM on eBay right now. Price isn’t terrible, already socketed, manual chip and caps replaced.click

Stoked to see another one saved!If you end up ditching that stock intake and maf, I believe there was somebody on here hunting for one. I’ll go looking for their s/n.Edit: Their screen name is deedo.

Welcome, Excited for some updates. If you’re responsible for DSMtuners, I’m sure this place is in great hands.Things that I’d like to see improved.Picture sharing: Posting pictures is a bit of a pain, an easier method would be cool.Bad guy section: I’m not sure if this next bit is a...

Purchased. Thank you Pot!

(I tried to put this in the bad guy section but it seems the area of the forum is not functioning properly, so I’ll drop it here)Just passing along a bit of dealings I had with these people.I put an Inquiry in about the 91 taillights they had listed for $96 last night. Should have just...

Looking for the driver side window switch panel for around $30. Condition of panel is not concerning. I’m after the guts. However, If it’s damn near perfect I’ll pay more.Also looking for window switches for all passenger doors for around $10 each.

As title states, looking for a OE steering wheel. Preferably in decent shape for a reasonable price.

clickA little over priced in my opinion, but they are taking offers.

I think I saw an intake with the can on eBay yesterday. I’ll see if I can find it again.

Good god that thing looks fun.I just read through your progress, nice work. Making me want to keep my 01 Trooper and LS swap it or try to find a 1st gen Montero. 3rd gens are pretty nice lookin also. Always had a soft spot for them.

Successful transaction with Mooserage. Great communication, shipment as well as packaging. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from again.

They have the bumpers listed at $960 + $270 shipping for the front and rear bumpers....each. Think I saw the engine for $2700 marked down to $2200 ish, don’t remember the shipping. The transmission was listed at $1900, marked down to $1584 + $270 shipping. Transfer case was $420 slashed to $336...

Seen this the other day, he’s got stuff I want but can’t bring myself to buy at some of his prices.

When I get my car back from the shop I may be able to chime in, it make be a couple more weeks though. I still have OEM glass in mine.Question for you or others though. Did you have to source your own windshield or did the company have troubles finding a replacement? Sadly my OE glass has a...

Received a package from Pot. Transaction was smooth and no BS. Would buy from again.
