Quoting ApexHunter: I believe there are a number of members on here who have the car insured for "agreed upon value", and I think they are using Hagerty although I don't think they are the only game in ton.My 1989 turbo C53A Colt (Mirage) with modified drivetrain (4g63t swap plus upgrades to...

If the ECU needs a going over, you send it to ECMLink, not Ebay rebuilders.They are the most trusted Mitsu ECU rebuilders in the USA, and they make ECMLink (formerly KA DSMLink).

I want to say that anyone that is inactive past X time frame is automatically moved to unregistered status.IIRC correctly 1 yr inactive to trigger the switch?

Try this to start:brake booster function testIf the master wasn't bled properly, you can crack the line fittings and have someone depress the pedal to the floor and reconnect while the pedal is still depressed. Tapping on the housing can help migrates air bubbles "upwards" in the system, to...

Nearly identical to a Colt Summit and Mirage C50/60 platform, in FWD.

I would assume you are correct in someone adding green glow to the housings.All lights would come from the engine bay side and be pointed directly forward if OEM and in the factory headlamp assemblies.

Quoting BlackHornet: Soooooooo....I will start a thread about the car and its progress but I have a question to ask first;When the key is turned, I get nothing. Like, not even dash lights. My plan is to pull the motor to make it easier to get to the harness BUT I was wondering if theres...

That is 9 years ago.

I suggest that if multiple sensors went down all at once, you either have very dirty connection points of contact and or you have a ground wire or shared wiring that never got hooked up.Check out the wiring diagrams and see if there is any commonality that may not be plugged in or connected...

Do the Galants have a radiator fan switch mounted down low?Also to the OP, what termpature/thermostat are you using because as stated the motor might not be getting hot enough to normally trigger the fan at like 206 or whatever temp it is spec'd in the FSM (factory service manuals).

Any car you get, must have been gone over for the basic routine maintenance - recalls, timing belt, and lots of other little things.I suggest looking at a US car, but consider the currency exchange is bad right now.If you are in Quebec, you cannot import a RHD car anymore. Zilch, zip...

If you run a non chambered muffler as part of the upgrade which likely will occur, the police in Quebec like to give tickets for that. Severely lowering the car, same scenario.That said, what are you prepared to pay for the car itself landed, all in, and then have for upgrades and tuning...

Quoting Gilga5: So I ended up replacing both clutch master and slave and now it functions properly. Also, from the car sitting in the garage for so long might of caused it not function and fluids drying up within the lines ect...either way everything is all good and I appreciate all the advice...

As stated above, that label on the chip will cement a bunch of details in our minds.In the first picture of the engine bay, there is a stock appearing air can with what would be a stock 1G 91-94 style MAF, so that would not match the papers from a keydiver chip stating 2G MAF...

I'll update the original posting on the other org.Its good to find any errors in my old posting, or anything current. Sometimes you get a little cross eyed from all the numbers you are trying to post about.Good catch and the ASA facts to back it up too!To confirm, what do you think the...

So, if that is a genuine euro/overseas plate on that Catcom racing lorrie, then it isn't left in the US/North America anymore?

Quoting Gilga5: Well I cant believe I Missed that smh. It is Hydro. I will check to see if the fluid is low.Have an accomplice safely operate the clutch (engine off/park brake working and engaged, wheels chaulked on a flat surface.Confirm you have the slave cylinder moving the slave...

I have seen basic Cyclone intakes sell for $50-85 at the low and $125-150 at the high, with no external hardware other than the mini diaphragm being attached. To have the brace with all vacuum tubes in place, working diaphragm, studs for the TB, etc, and be in top notch condition - $180-200.

Seems like a fully molested example, that lies under all that lipstick. Previous damage not properly repaired, holes all over the frame which indicates needing immediate and rather extension repair ... smells and conditions ... and he was actively selling this car and thinking he was going to...

I installed hex socket head bolts in those tps spots. Then use a long set of extended ball socket hex bits to access the bolts from just above the rocker cover.Like these:

I have the narrow in the stock location using pin 4, and wideband logging only (not narrow band sim anymore!) via pin 15. Working well this way so far. Happy to hear you got yours working.

Welcome and hope your story with the car is a happy ending, versus a time to walk away from it.Many of these cars are needing attention, so I'm sure you have already got your popcorn and have started to take in all the info in the Archive and Technical Sections.Happy to have another one aboard!

I saw he was on vacation and so left him be until he was rightly settled back in the office.Asked a few questions, got some great answers and compared to his postings on DSMTuners about clutch choices.I ended up getting an SS TZ clutch combination as this was supposed be the closest to stock...

The TXV/orifice tube depending upon setup is what creates the pressure difference on either side of the device and it balances things out appropriately when working well.That said, it would be an absolute minimum to know system pressures and the confirm the compressor is actually coming on...

Please do, and stoked you have capable help nearby!Here's to hoping you have working AC in very short order.

Iceman hit the nail on the head, with regards to system upkeep and parts changes that relate to oil.If you get the system flushed with a machine, the owner/operator should be well versed on how much is going through and or back into the system. From that point make sure he has the spec for...

Who bought it and for how much?You can PM with details if need be.

I have not used the program in Windows 10 as of yet. That being said, I still keep ASA running on my older PC using 64 bit versions of windows software.The crack software listed in the original Russian downloaded versions of ASA, was the key to getting the program to work. As long as the...

To partly answer your question about how much material is or was left on the head, there are spots around the outside area (x2) where the head gasket meets the head material, where holes actually disappear or become flat if too much material is removed - that is the service limit of the cylinder...

Do you still have the 482 MAF setup?I'm going to email in case this doesn't come through with a heads up via email.

Be aware that if your fuel system seeing X amount of boost, it will be rising one psi per lb of boost, so that doesn't leave much of a window or outright surpasses 50 psi rated lines. I think that put you in nylon or the 30R9 category as listed, but not sure if that means pushlock fuel hose, but...

Great primer on what to look for in terms of ratings, incompatibilities and what not.https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2014/12/05/tech-101-fuel-line-hose-what-you-should-and-should-not-use/I've seen it before, but lucked onto it again today when you asked these questions.

If you are having heat related issues, you likely have a connection that is on the verge of good/bad.There are FSM gauge cluster testing procedures that take you thought checking each function of the cluster, but I suspect if everything works and then all of a sudden, doesn't, then you are...

Not that it is super accessible but torquing the sensor to exact spec is pretty crucial to getting a reliable reading from it.See what you can do to get it torqued with an inch lb torque wrench combination.

Quoting Terrance362: Cleaned out the trunk today and found out someone did a fuel pump rewire. I hope its something in there that I can use and not junk. Also found a MAP sensor on it. Just got to clean some of this stuff up before I can think about driving this carPlease cut out those...

Was this the ground for the fuel pump?Also, be sure to check that your ECU has the OEM ground wires/eyelets, grounded at their stock locations and that the case is actually bolted to the chassis with all bolts in place. I see so many pictures of ECU's sitting on the floor (and no sign of added...

The issue that FullPEAK is having is one of matching up shifter arms on his GVR4 trans and the JDM import trans he is now using. The JDM trans is with his car now (where he is), but the GVR4 trans is away from home and he is having someone remove the arms at this stage. Thanks for the full...

Quoting thomcasey: Verify the compression yourself if you can. And check the spark and plug wiring. As for Transmissions, an AWD manual from a 90-94 DSM (as long as it matches the transfer case splines) will bolt up.As stated above, that timing check and compression check is KEY.If...

Yeah, they can take a decent bit of work to get them to click in with one decent push from a straight on angle.It can help to use a chemical that is auto trans/diff fluid compatible and will break down or not dilute in a bad way, to put under the clip, to keep it centered on the axle so the...
