    22/1000 left for dead

    Yeah, given how good the underside looks, I'm guessing it's a bad sunroof/door/window seal and a lot of water being in the car for a while. Based on the trunk, I'm guessing that seal isn't great either. I've thought about replacing mine, but I'm pretty sure they're NLA. I just keep it in the...

    VR4 at Pick-n-Pull in Tacoma WA

    I was there yesterday and they were supposed to hold the car for another cycle but because it was so stripped the yard guys crushed it this morning.I talked to the manager because I literally watched her tag it for the hold last night...The tank was trashed but I was going to grab the...

    The passenger is great, I think the driver has a small separation, but I'm sure an upholstery shop could easily sort it out as the leather is in good shape. They're in my garage attic, I'll see if I can get pics soon.That said, I don't even know how I'd ship them from WA 😆

    VR4 at Pick-n-Pull in Tacoma WA

    The hood on the car isn't in great shape. I have to go back today or tomorrow because I wanted a rear trailing arm, and forgot a >21mm wrench so I couldn't get that one eccentric bolt out 🤦‍♂️There's not much left, I'll look at the harness to see if it's in decent condition, as mentioned the...

    RPM resonance. Front hood, dash?

    To get rid of a specific RPM drone, you're better off adding a Helmholtz resonator than a straight resonator

    The underneath doesn't look that bad, and interior parts are definitely attainable- I'd sell you a pretty nice set of front seats but shipping would murder you :LOL:

    Haven't seen James Foster around in a long time, does he still have that car? always one of my favorites.

    2G fuel injector clip pigtails

    Since they only clip on one way, I just made sure that the left versus right was the same regardless of the color of the new pigtails.

    Key

    @Brutal213 I'm pretty sure (like others have mentioned) that the key you linked is aftermarket. I have the OEM master, and had the OEM valet for one of my old cars, and neither were anything like that. The link that @gvr4ever is IMO the best option. They look nice with the repro fobs that...

    You could definitely sell it in Canada, but in the US a 2002 won't be legal until 2027

    Car won’t start. Need help!!

    You need to ensure the ECU isn't damaged as @gvr4ever points out- If the caps are bad it explains a lot.That said, I've seen a CAS go bad before where it was fine until the car warmed up and then it started reporting extremely erratic data (i.e. 11k+ RPM at idle, etc). I would not replace it...

    Check your shift linkage

    New OEM bushings make a big deal, but a few folks online sell kits to replace every bushing- for the base, the shifter, the cable ends, the transmission bracket mount, etc., out of brass. While it can add some vibration and noise, it also makes the shifter feel tight and solid, with no slop...

    Craig, what's the info on that carrier? Is it a reasonable replacement for the stock ones, as the kits are drying up?

    Clutch Grind?

    fair enough, I haven't seen a clutch/flywheel for a FWD in probably 15 years 🤣 I just remembered something being bigger.I don't understand how the clutch grinds on the trans housing
  18. slugsgomoo

    Clutch Grind?

    Do you have any measurements? I want to say that the FWD clutch is bigger than AWD, but it's been a lifetime since I read anything about it.Also, small world, I spent a lot of my childhood out in Duvall, and there are several people on the boards in that general vicinity; I know @mitsuturbo...

    Need help with my altenator pulley

    I did a little BFH massaging to the car where mine was because I was a little paranoid, but even with stock mounts and hitting the limiter on 2-3 shifts at 10,500 I don't have any marks from it hitting. Usually pulling the tensioner arm allowed enough clearance to sneak a belt through though...

    Found, thanks!: Trunk/Fuel door release levers (and possibly cables)

    I'd like to buy a replacement fuel and trunk lever setup for my car. If the cables are in nice condition I'm willing to buy those along with them also.Neither appears to be a super expensive part on performancepartout, but they're out of stock so I'm hoping someone has something laying around...

    Rear knocking noise?

    Since you mentioned it seems more to the one side than the other- have you checked the wheel bearing or the cv joints on that side?

    TD05 late spool

    While you aren't having the issue at idle because the valve is staying closed (the problem you likely saw with the stock BOV), if you're actually making boost, and the valve opens when you lift, you can get stalling or stumbling- additionally with a small turbo, recirculating will have a...

    TD05 late spool

    It won't directly impact this, but if you didn't switch to GM MAF or speed density and you're doing VTA, you're only introducing problems for yourself.Boost leak test is a good first step, followed by testing the actuator. If you want to do a quick and dirty test, and you're comfortable with...

    New to the forum? Introduce yourself here.

    where are you in WA? there are a few of us here.Odd that it's grey, and has a 92 grille if it's a 91- Have you checked the VIN with @iceman69510 ?

    Clutch - SB Endurance Stg 3 vs Clutch Masters FX300 or Fx350

    I replaced a roasted CFDF in my talon with a sprung six puck (FX-400) and the pedal was lighter than an ACT 2600 and a really nice engagement IMO. It was easy enough to drive that my wife & mom both drove the car and had no complaints (the manual steering was a gripe by my mom in all fairness)...

    Blew a rocker

    2G head with an evo3 intake manifold is probably the best setup for a sub 550HP street car, and with a cast magnus or JMF billet, probably the best setup under 850. The 2g head is a substantially better design than the 1g, and unless you're trying to make 4 digit power there are NO downsides to...

    Which rotors for Diamante calipers?

    You'll have to test fit with some 15's, but obviously, the OEM GVR4 wheels are 15s and fit. There are some spoke designs that won't clear on them, but I don't think that's the majority.

    exhaust manifold

    With super large turbos, there are gains with the Morrison Fab over the FP, but the FP isn't going to hurt power on a 14b/16g frame turbo.Given that back in the day, the thing was to get an Evo3 or 2g manifold (and port the crap out of it), and the FP basically puts you where a ported evo3...

    fwd to rwd

    You could convert to a vr4 drivetrain but at that point why not go AWD instead of RWD?If you want a RWD Galant (my question why would you), there are vastly better drivetrains you could swap to, but at that point you either need very deep pockets or major fab skills...

    Which rotors for Diamante calipers?

    The 1g 92.5 rotors are the same as the SL, and the gvr4 used the same caliper as both, but the 3s & DSM are 5 lug hence the very different part number
  33. slugsgomoo

    Which rotors for Diamante calipers?

    91-92 GVR4 rotors are 4 lug, and use the same calipers as the NA 3000GT, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't work for you?

    #461... Soon to be a real car again (again)

    I actually started working on the car again a bit last weekend but found that I need some extra tools (and a lot more patience) to measure all the valve clearances, and whatnot to get things degreed correctly. I will say my cam gear indicators look wonky, but at TDC the dowel pins are up, so...

    Should I replace this pan?

    I doubt there's a chance that's balance shaft related- they only exist to save vibrations from your seat- Mitsubishi sold tens of thousands of Sirius platform engines with no balance shafts from the factory.That said, it looks repairable, but you can get a non-OEM brand new pan for $60 so...

    Anybody know this car or owner?

    Mark, did you ever end up seeing the car? it shows pending on fb now. Too bad the guy didn't post the badge # (or get it in a photo). CF hood, EvoX seats, some decent looking stuff under the hood, it seems promising, plus who doesn't love KG?

    Steering rack upgrades.

    the best you'll get for that IMO is probably a quickener (really common on rally cars).I'm in the middle of converting my car to electric PS, though it's just assist on the column, not changing the rack. I'm doing it to be able to clean up the engine bay, as well as adjust how much assist I'm...

    Ecu going out? Popping noise from dash

    not the problem here this time, but it can be- if the ISC goes out, it'll torch the 105 driver in the ECU- If your FIAV fails and leaks, it will definitely happen. So either do the blockoff/bypass plate (lame and costs money) or the free method here at DSMTuners and save yourself some pain...
