Thanks everyone... I got new brake calipers from hale don auto parts... Local to me. My baby is out and about now.

I tried advance... I guess ill just order calipers...since I need the car on the road ASAP

We'll the seals aren't available from Mitsubishi and autozone and the local napa can't get them for me. It looks like my only option is buying rebuilt calipers. I really want to drive my baby.

Thanks everyone for you help. I will order the rebuild kit tomorrow. I haven't had the time to do anything yet until now. It sucks seeing the car sit everyday!

Hey Everyone,I poked around using the search button but was a bit unsuccessful. Long story short... I did my front brakes. I noticed that one seal on each caliper kept bulging out more than the other. I managed to get the driver side on without any issues, but the passenger side caliper...

The supra is a 93 hardtop 6-speed and the Evo is a 04 RS

Right... Far from rich sir.

Quoting TurboTurtle: I told Ariel to have you guys move up here to ny!(Jeff, who sold you the gvr4 head)Hey homie. youre just too damn far up north. lol

LOL... i wish it was that simple!

Quoting transparentdsm: PM me. depending on where in north jersey you car i can have a nice spot where no one will say anything and it will be locked behind a fence. its my fathers shop. ill have him put it somewhere that it wont ever need to be moved until you want to move it. only down side he...

Well here's the dilemma. My girlfriend and I have a bunch of cars between us. The problem is that the city doesn't like anyone having "projects"!!! My 93 talon TSI AWD now has to go because of a neighbor complaining that the cars are sitting in my private driveway... Uninsured and...

Hey everyone.. Thanks for the feedback. I have not been able to play with the car in some time. The motor does still have the balance shafts. I am waiting to get my car to my buddies shop and throw it on the lift. It looks as if the timing belt and valve cover gasket are both in very good...

To all my VR4 family out there... I need some advice.#174/1000 is old and it's time for some maintenance. I have an oil leak I cannot trace. First I thought it was the oil filter housing... It wasn't. Then I checked the valve cover gasket... And noticed that the valve cover bolts were a...

like an idiot... i forgot that there was a cotter pin that is supposed to sure the arm.i used a key ring... since i couldnt find anything to fit the small holethank you for the help everyone!!

Well it was the wastegate flapper. It came off... so I got it back on. Made it through one gear before it came off again. Now I have to wait till the morning when it cools down to go at it again. Is there something that is supposed to to keep it in place?

it probably is something stupid like the wastegate arm. I really am looking for an excuse to modify this damn stock car.if i had to buy a mhi 16g new and spend that kind of money... id be calling my buddy for a new precision turbo and go t3. and i am soooo iffy on buying a used turbo...

ahhh... youre probably right. sorry. I tend to get a little defensive once in a while.

and no i did not want to sell it because something was wrong. i decided to sell it and then i started hearing a noise. it wound up being a bracket coming loose. But i tightened it and it was fine.

i almost sold it... because i wanted to pick up a 2007 tl type s i got in at work... and i couldnt justify having 4 cars. i have been driving it as my daily since i got it and i always did enjoy it. It has 162k on the clock... so I was fully aware that it was eventually going to need work...

So I took #174 to a Evo cruise today. all was well. I got to take some turns... cruise on the highway... I even stopped to get some ribs. Then on the way home... I noticed that the car was running a bit slower that usual. It was always slow... but this was really bad. I look at the factory...

#174 here.

I will be there. Unsure if I will bring the VR4 or not. The Evo wont be done.The good thing will be that I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend. The Shootout is kind of the reason we are together

emx... do you own the white vr4 with the gray bottom and amg wing?

what turbo are you running?

Who here has a higher hp (450whp+) vr4 with functional air conditioning? I honestly have not attempted to get my a/c working... but it is something I would like to get working and actually keep. So if this has been covered... FORGIVE ME. I just would like 1 of my 3 cars to have a/c.

it does have ac... but it doesnt work.so that rattle sound at 2500+ rpm wound up being a stupid bracket that was coming loose. I tightened it up and that was the end of it. Now the only issue is the squealing belt.

I have a video... I just never uploaded it. All you would hear is the rattle from the exhaust shield... which is something minor.

I just bought #174/1000 and shes great to drive. I know shes old and having an older car means that it needs some TLC. I got it knowing that I could give it a good home. I have 3 cars... A 2004 Evo RS, 2000 Lexus GS300 with a 2JZ 6265 powered and this stock original baby. I decided that the...

now you have me thinking about the turbo...

going stand alone and throwing a fuel setup on the lexus is not cheap. i will get to it one day.

i wish i had a garage like that. that is at my buddies shop. his dad owns a bunch of hot rods. this has been sitting like that since the 80s. he just decided to play with it again.the evo is way faster than the 2jzgte lexus. my lexus is still on 14psi (wg) and still on the factory supra...

lol

my buddies have tacotaco intercoolers on a couple turbo hondas. made 500+whp no problem. The other stuff... I have no damn clue how good they are.

thank you. the car has oil leaks... plus the turbo may be on the way out. plus it needs an exhaust. id like to "upgrade" without turning it into the gs300 or evo. i have a tendency to go overboard...

sorry... almost all of my pics are instagram shots... here are some of the lexus.and my evo...

oh and the white gs300 is my big boy sleeper. full 2jzgte and a small 6265.

PICS...

Hey everyone. I went out and made an impulse buy. I found number 174/1000 and could not pass up an opporunity to own a piece of Mitsubishi history. I am new to the older generation Mitsubishis... But I am an Evo owner. I am a car enthusiast and I am happy that it is in my hands. "Jade" as my...
