  1. Best Place to Source Quality Brakes

    Hey guys, Just looking for a reputable vendor/place to purchase a full brake kit for the Galant. Nothing crazy...stock fitment...slotted is fine. Looking for EBC/Stoptech. Spirited driving maybe light track work will be as much as the car sees at stock power levels.Looking all over and I can...
  2. Back into the Scene with 886/1000

    Hi again everyone,After selling my moderately modified 141/1000, I vowed to return with a more stock example. After months of searching I landed 886/1000, a Belize Green 1992 w/ sunroof option in absolutely stock factory condition. Not everything is perfect, but that's how I like them.The...

    Up for sale is my 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. It is number 141 of 1000. This car is in very good condition and has been upgraded with only the top of the line parts. A little background on the car is that I purchased it in 2007 from Sam, one of the old moderators here on the .org in the...

  5. Caliper Brake Line Inlet Stripped

    Hey guys, really bummed here. I'm installing a barely used Wilwood brake kit and the passenger side brake line will not tighten. On top of that the fitting won't back out now. It looks like the previous owner stripped it out.Any advice on how to back the fitting out? Is the caliper trash now?
  6. Are these ABS Wires?

    I've converted to non-ABS, is it safe to remove them and the unit they plug into?
  7. Identify this Bracket

    Can anyone id this bracket near the oil pan and turbo downpipe area? Can I remove it? Doesn't seem to be serving any purpose.
  8. Leak from Trans and Transfer Case Area

    Had my stock transmission rebuilt by Jack's Transmission a couple years ago and installed it with the stock transfer case. The car has sat for most of that time (JSB) but a few months ago began leaking trans fluid. What would cause this to happen? There were no leaks before the rebuild.
  9. FS: 2007 Subaru Legacy spec.B, $16k - San Jose, CA

    The time has come to put my baby up for sale. It's been a fantastic car over the past 6 years. Baby (human, not car version) is on the way, so we're shopping for a more family hauler focused vehicle.The CL ad: clickAny questions, feel free to ask.
  10. Car Starts but Stalls Immediately after Built Engine Install

    Finally got the engine in and everything hooked up. Car starts right up, revs to about 3k and then drops quickly to stall. Build is quite mild, just the usual Wiseco (9.0 pistons), Kelford 272 cams, EVO III 16G, and E-85. Fuel should be find as pressure is reading spot on (I use FIC 1100cc...
  11. Brake Rotor Question

    Hey guys, a while back I purchased a brake package w/ Wilwood 4 piston calipers and slotted/x-drilled rotors (no-name, I know iffy). I tried fitting the rotors today and they are completely too big for our hubs. I was just curious what rotors are compatible with the Wilwoods? I'm thinking...
  12. Rusty Fuel Tank Fun

    Really been doing some serious work on the car lately trying to get it ready for fall track day fun. I was in the fuel area and noticed a bit of rust...so of course I dropped the tank. Rust city in here. It looks mostly surface and there are no leaks. Just wondering the best way to go about...
  13. ID this Steering Rack

    I got this steering rack (rebuilt) from a friend a while back and have no idea what it may be for. I think it is for a regular Galant but I could certainly be wrong. Anyone recognize it? If it is for a regular Galant, can I use it when I eliminate 4WS?
  14. I Know...another Oil Question

    Hey guys, I've always used Mobil 1 10w30 since I lived in an area that actually hosted winter. Now that I'm in the bay area can I run 5W30 or is there a preferred weight? Car will not see much DD, it will primarily be used for fun motoring and track days. Just looking for personal preferences...
  15. Headroom Gained from Racing Buckets

    I'm unable to wear a helmet in the stock seats. For those who have changed out their stockers for racing buckets, did you guys see an improvement in headroom? I picked up some Sparco Evo2 Plus seats and was hoping this would fix the problem.
  16. WTB: o2 Sensor Connector

    Anyone parting out there cars or have one of these laying around? It's a 4 wire heated o2 sensor connector (the upstream half that connects to the wiring harness). Really could use one. I will pay a decent amount for one.Thanks, Chad
  17. o2 Sensor Connector

    Newb question...how do you disconnect the o2 sensor connector? I have the round one (with 4 wires). I am repairing some wiring issues and can't figure out for the life of me how to separate the wire harness connector from the the o2 sensor wire connector. I know it separates into two pieces...
  18. T-Stat Housing Wiring Issues

    Hey guys,I've been hitting the wiring diagrams and user drawings of all the electrical connections going into the t-stat housing (there are a few too many), and I've still got some questions and requests for advice.Visual Aid:I no longer have AC so I'm not concerned with those...

  20. 2007 Legacy spec.B Daily Driver

    This is what has been entertaining my modding bug with for the past two years while I wasn't in a place to work to on the VR-4. It's my 2007 Subaru Legacy spec.B, and what I believe it to be a very capable daily/track vehicle. Even in stock form I really enjoyed the car. Comfy enough with...
  21. Been gone way too long...

    I've grown sick and tired of watching the VR-4 gather dust in the garage...I need to get back on that horse. I moved out west to the SF Bay Area two years ago and haven't even popped the hood on 141/1000 since. I've been super sidetracked with life in going back to school (MBA) and landing a...
  22. Car Vibrates...Rough Idle

    Recap: Just put the engine back in after having to pull it to replace freeze plugs and put on a new tranny + clutch. Also replaced the intake mani gasket which works great, making good vacuum with no more leaking.The car starts out by revving really high at 3k rpm and then drops sharply...
  23. AC Pump Bracket Removal Question

    I've got all the AC components removed from the car, save for the AC pump bracket. The bracket is actually bolted on to the intermediate driveshaft bracket, and takes up a good amount of space. I know I have to fill that space after removal with washers, but I was just wondering how many...
  24. Interesting Boost Leak Situation

    Whilst I wait for the turbo to cool before I boost leak test the car, I wanted to run this by the pros. Just got the engine back into the car and everything hooked up, so I decided to start her. The car shakes violently then stalls. The only way I got it to hold an idle was to up the...
  25. EBC Wiring Question

    I know we've never seen a question like this on the forum before, so here it goes. I'm hooking my HKS EVC EZ boost controller up again and I have all the ports and lines in order save for one. Port 2 I have t'd off from the external wastegate secondary port and a connection to my intercooler...
  26. Reassembly Wiring Issues...Advice Sought

    I've been working at this project for some time now and finally getting near the finish line. I'm just having some issues with wiring after putting the engine/trany back in. Here are some of the issues with supporting pics.Here is a random green wire that I can not for the life of me find...
  27. Oil Pressure Sending Unit Setup with 3" DP

    I'm noticing a bunch of you guys running 3" DPs and was wondering how you installed your oil pressure sending units so you could still clear the DP. I currently have a 2.5" DP and a Greddy sandwich style sending unit, and I barely clear my DP even with using an EVO oil filter (which is shorter...
  28. JSB Upgrade Guidance

    So now that I'm an officially JSB due to having to pull the exhaust and intake manifolds for freeze/core plug replacing, what else should I focus on? Got me a list of stuff I want to do, anymore ideas would be great in taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity to join the JSB Community...
  29. Car Goes Boom...Help Identify Part

    Just reconfigure my EBC (HKS EVC EZ) to what the factory stated. 1 line goes to external wastegate actuator, 1 line t'd with BOV and Intake Mani, and the final line t'd with the secondary wastegate actuator and turbo compressor housing on the intercooler piping. Took the car out for a spin and...
  30. BOV Vacuum Source Location

    Where are you guys running your BOV vacuum source from? I have a 1G BOV and an external wastegate. The reason I bring this up is that I also am running a HKS EVC EZ (EBC) and the unit needs an uninterrupted vacuum source, so I'm using the port right on the intake mani immediately following the...
  31. External Wastegate Question

    For those with external wastegates or knowledge thereof...where is the second actuator port located. For example I have a Tial 38mm external and in the HKS EVC EZ Boost Controller directions it says to connect one vac line to the wastegate's second actuator port. So anyone know where this is...
  32. Dyno Chart Oddity **Update 1.1**

    I was going over the last dyno results I had for 141 and noticed that it doesn't quite look right. As you can see everything drops off at 5200rpm...a bit too early for the setup I'm running (for complete mods see my member's ride thread) and yes I assure you I'm running all supporting mods. I...
  33. UMD Meet FedEx Field, Sunday, May 1st

    Just seeing if anyone is going to the UMD meet held at FedEx field this year (as opposed to the UMD campus). It's usually a huge meet and the entrance fee is great at only one canned good or $1 (proceeds go to a food pantry). I know how elusive meets can be on this forum, but just seeing if...
  34. Oil Leak Woes

    141 has been pissing a fair amount of oil lately so I finally had some time to start looking her over. There's a good oil coating on the front and passenger side of the block. I also found some drops around the crescent area of the valve cover and on the cam angle sensor (name?) The engine is...
  35. ETS FMIC and Piping Fitment Issues

    Got a feeling that I effed this up somehow or it just doesn't fit right. It's the Galant VR4 specific core and piping from ETS. As you can see the piping hangs about 3"+ down from the passenger front bumper. Also the BOV is located very low on the piping. I am a tard so it is quite possible...
  36. NOVA, DC, and MD Meet Saturday, November 6th - Richmond, VA

    Just gauging how many people would be interested in throwing a meet together in NOVA. I'm thinking somewhat low key...meeting up, talking mad game, grabbing some junky ass food and drinks and just chilling. Probably hold it in Northern VA somewhere. Very open to input at this point. Time...
  37. Only making 125hp on the dyno? Let's double that!!!

    Need some serious troubleshooting advice here guys. Got a strong rebuilt 4G63 (only 3k miles) leakdown + compression tested fine. Just installed the ETS FMIC and Keydiver stage 3 chip and I am on the dyno now....only seeing 125hp at the wheels! No boost leak, no exhaust leak...turbo is an Evo...
  38. Oil in Intake Pipe is Common?

    Haven't messed around with the car for some time as it has sat for nearly a year in my garage with random start ups. Took it for a drive yesterday and when I got home I took off the intake as I'm planning on installing an ETS fmic and I just want to check things over. I noticed a bit of oil...
  39. Radiator Fan Replacement

    Searched and found random answers and feedback. Looking to replace the stock rad fan since the shrouding is a bit haggard and I want to clean up the engine bay a bit. I have a slimline in 989 and it worked fine, but I've heard mixed reviews. Does anyone have any great personal experience with...

  42. www.performancepeddler.com

    These guys are amazing. Hooked me up with a high flow Magnaflow cat for the GVR-4 with the best price I could find anywhere, also shipped very fast. Also hooked my brother up in the same fashion with exhaust parts for his M3, these guys are great and I highly recommend them.
  43. Good Guy-Spam

    Hooked me up with a hard to find fuel pump sending unit (in great shape) for a good price. Shipping was prompt even across the entire country. Would recommend to anyone.
  44. Can a TPS go bad?

    Never heard of it just wondering if that's what's causing my idle insanity. I can tighten and loosen it and it changes how the car idles (surging when all the way down), but if I somehow find a way to get it a good idle, the next time I start the car idle issues begin again. The BISS is almost...
