    FS: Couple of Mitsubishi static model kits

    Tamiya Pajero model. Decals are kind of rough, but it's all there still sealed in baggies. Rare kit and pretty old now. Really cool because it has a little turbo 4g63 in it and a lot of Tamiya models don't even have engine details. I have two so I'm selling this one off. $60 shipped...

    FS: Seasonic X-650 PSU

    I used this in my current PC for about a week after I built it a year ago. I swapped it out for an X-850 for more headroom as I was planning to use two power hungry video cards. And I literally just swapped the actual PSU, so all the cords and stuff that the X-850 came with are still sealed and...

    period correct aftermarket head units

    So I have a really nice high end Alpine CDA-7965 head unit in 1051. It's been in the car since I purchased the thing new at a stereo store in 2000. It requires an amp as it has no power of its own. I use the Ai-net input to power and run a MP3 player since it won't play burned CD's for sh*t. I...

    When boost leak testing your intake system, make sure to turn off you meth kit.It's been a long time since I busted out the compressor and adapter to make sure my system was leak free, so I did it this evening. My stupid ass didn't shut off the methanol master switch. And since I had the key...

    So I entered 1051 in a street car competition

    About a month ago, for the hell of it, I sent in a submission to importmeet.com for entry into their drag/autox/show streetcar competition happening this August. It's a PNW group putting it on. I really didn't think they would choose my car, but I got an email over the weekend saying I'm one of...

    This stopped working for me out of the blue sometime last week. I still have it checked in my preferences, but I'm not receiving emails anymore. Any idea as to what's up?

    I need a spare tire for 1051

    In the off chance I get a flat during a drive to Seattle or on any road trip, I need something that will allow me to limp the car to a tire place. For the past few years, I have had the stock 4-lug spare in the trunk and crossed my fingers that if I did get a flat, it would be a back tire since...

    FS: Tein HA coilovers

    I was gonna hang on to these and use them on 503, but I'll stick with my GC/GR2 combo as it's a bit softer and I don't need 503 to be on suspension like this while using 205/70r15 snow tires.I picked these up new way back in '01 I think. One of the last sets of HA's that Tein ever made...

    fan override switch

    What would be the easiest way to tackle this? I want stock radiator fan functionality retained for both my AC (pusher) and radiator (puller). I'm going to install a 180* thermostat so I just want to wire in a switch to flip the fans on when in stop/go traffic or waiting in the staging lanes at...

    New Suspensionz and other stuffs

    Well, new to me anyway, but pre-ownedI purchased one of the last set of Tein HA's in the country for our cars back in '01. They were about the best thing you could get back then and I got a good deal through a buddy that owned a small ricer shop. They're still in great shape, but stiff as...

    First time at the dragstrip in six years last night...

    ...and I can't launch for sh*t.First pass was bad. Knock light went crazy in fourth so I let out of the throttle early and ran a 12.8 @ 115 with a crap 2.2 60ft due to a bogged launch. Looked at the log and saw massive knock in fourth which resulted in a melted plug in cylinder 2. I'm lucky...

    Slave cylinder video

    So I've been having a clutch drag issue ever since I swapped from the twin to the single. It was a hydraulic problem and I finally got around to installing a new master a slave cylinder today. Even bled it by myself thanks to a speed bleeder on the slave. I used a Beck/Arnley master and a...

    recommend me an awesome slimfan...

    So I reinstalled my OE 190 thermostat, pulled the radiator out of the car and flushed it out, then used this nice non-spill funnel to refill with coolant and to burp the cooling system of all air. It worked great, BTW. While driving, after fully warmed up, my coolant temps stay between...

    For those that don't see this thread on the ECMlink forums, I figured I'd post here for more exposure, and because I know y'all.Looking to have you guys check out my log and see if anything looks like it needs work. I went out for a drive for the first time since English tuned it on the...

    dyno tuning with 1051

    Drove the 180 miles to English Racing today for a dyno tune on ECMlink for pump and pump/meth. So on the way to English, the car seemed to be running hot when I got held up in some road construction. I just replaced an OE 190 thermostat that was stuck open with a brand new OE 190. I think this...

    electrical gurus, plz double check my work...

    Because I'm installing ECMlink, I have to rewire my methanol injection setup. Reason being, the trigger wire on the old Maftpro setup was a 12v input to switch to secondary fuel/timing maps and ECMlink requires a switched ground input on the idle switch input to switch to secondary fuel/timing...

    503's hand-me-downs

    So now the 5zigens are on 503. I cambered the front in using Ingalls camber bolts and did a quick self alignment to fix the toe in afterward. Looks pretty decent, IMO.

    Going back to a single disk clutch

    Since people will probably wonder why I'm downgrading, I'll explain:I installed my QM twin back in June '07. After blowing springs out of two ACT disks I was happy to get away from sprung hubs and ACT in general. About two weeks later I drove the car to Seattle to get pics taken for the...

    After seven years, the 5zigens have been replaced...

    ...by BBS LM's.I took the weekend to do a 5-lug swap. I used FWD knuckes to lessen bump steer since my car is lowered and I retained ABS, but I haven't installed the new ABS computer yet. I just wanted to get the wheels on and the car back on the ground for now. Tires are Dunlop Direzza Z1...

    WTB: 5-lug swap

    possible electrical issue

    I swear, the closer this car gets to the 200k mark, the more it doesn't wanna roll that number over on the odometer...So I took my car to work today instead of my company van due to the snow and road conditions. I've been working after hours (5pm-1am ish) at a building about 1:15hr away from...

    auto FPR

    I put out a WTB ad for a stock FPR off a 1g turbo Auto trans'd DSM. The current chip in 503 is setup for 43psi base fuel pressure and that's what that specific FPR puts out. It would help to get my SAFC closer to zeroed out. Does anybody know for sure what the four-digit number is that is...

    decent source for new rear brake calipers

    So while pulling off my old brake sh*t and prepping 503 for new pads/rotors on Saturday, as I was screwing in the rear pistons, the damn things started leaking. Fawk. Old tired seals I guess. So after calling all the local parts houses I find that they all need to order them. I figured they'd be...

    New tires and brakes!

    For 503 . Last drive over the pass to see my girlfriend was a bit white knuckle. My brakes are horrible. Low on pad and super warped. And my old Azenis summer tires are almost bald. Bad combo when it's pouring rain.So on Monday I ordered up some General Altimax Arctics in 205/70r15. They're...

    FS: PLX wideband combo

    it's been awhile since I had a DSM moment with 1051

    Since I haven't raced the thing since '05, I haven't really had to turn a wrench on this heap. It's been nice just being able to drive it around town and to meets to have some fun. I've had it out around the block a couple times this spring, but finally took it a ways out to my parents place for...

    EB: Contour GPS wearable camera

    503 takes me up skiing for the first time this year...

    ...and performed flawlessly. I've already been up to the mountain but have been riding with others. Today I got off work early and went up on my own to get some powder. Snapped this pic before I packed up to head home. Snowplow left a large 2ft bank for me to back out over and people walking by...

    FS: '93 headlights

    $170 shipped, OBO.This is the set of lights I had on 503. I've decided to sell them since I use the car to go skiing all winter and it's only a matter of time before a rock smacks one and ruins it. I'd rather that happens to a cheaper set of '91-'92 headlights which are easier to source and...

    FS: 1994 Toyota Pickup Yakima, WA $8000 OBO

    It pains me to do this, but I have to put my Toyota up for sale due to issues at home. I bought the thing a few years ago from a buddy in Eugene that had the truck built by English Racing, a shop in Camas, WA. The shop is owned by some Mitsubishi buddies of mine that also do a lot of wheeling...

    Turned out nice. Made back into one piece, smoothed out and painted to match the rest of the car. Total cost: $60. It's nice knowing body shop guys.Looks better than it did white, IMO.I also lowered 503 back down into summer mode. No m0ar lift kit. But I'm just gonna keep the big...

    boostx bumper lip (aka I'm a ricer nao)

    So....I spent some time today getting this thing fitted to my JDM bumper. I would much rather this thing been molded as one piece. I realize that shipping was cheaper this way, but I would have rather paid extra for shipping than extra to have this made back into one piece by my bodyshop...

    yay or nay

    Replaced my dead Optima redtop under warranty today so was able to take the car out for a spin for the first time this year. Weather was nice this past weekend, but by the time I went to pull the car out of the garage on Sunday, I realized the battery was completely toast. Should've kept a...

    coolant temps during winter

    So I'm on a quest to pull some epic fuel mileage out of 503 for long trips. I swapped out the MAFT/GMmaf setup for a 2gMaf/SAFC setup and threw in a new o2 sensor. No chip, but fuel trims look good so far. I've run into a bit of an issue with the recent cold weather though...I can't seem to...

    503 left me stranded today...

    Luckily, it was only 20 blocks and a fairly cheap tow from home. Troubleshooting the issue found a bad fuel pump. A Toyota Supra unit. I called Brian to get his opinion and he said it's normal for the Supra pumps to just up and quit rather than die slowly like other pumps? I was just driving...

    mad ground clearance

    I got a set of GGSX wheels for my snow tires from Brian since I can't stand the '92 wheels and while I had them off to get mounted I raised up the car another inch or so. It sits pretty high now and clears the 205/70r15's with ease. Should be great this winter.
  48. turbowop

    my tires grew a size today :hsugh:

    So 205/70r15 is a bit bigger than stock. Probably 2" or so in height. The tires on there now are 205/50r15, which are a little shorter than stock. I might have to raise the coilovers a bit.Toyo Observes for $50 off Craigslist ftw. Ready for snowdrifts.

    Anybody see these yet? So much WIN in those brochures. An actual good shot of that touring race Galant. Look how low that thing sits. Also, some good shots of that rear bumper that's been on Ebay. Looks like it's just a rear and upper piece and the sheetmetal sides that sit under our regular...
