Well, here she is. My soon to be engine donor for #1813. I will be transplanting the 4G63 from this gem into the VR4 a soon as time permits, and hopefully taking care of all my engine woes. ( My woes----> click click click )
You are looking at a beautiful 90' Plymouth Laser RS. I found this on Craigslist for pretty cheap, and got a great deal on it. It has 180k, and is COMPLETELY STOCK. Absolutely unmolested. Although the body and interior has seen better days, this thing purrrs like a kitten. It runs great at cruise, idles at a steady 850 RPMs and doesn't miss a beat. I have never driven a completely stock DSM. Let me just say, Mitsubishi did sh*t right. I have owned my fair share of 4G63 equip cars. I have always bolted on exhaust, bigger turbos, hard piping, lowering springs, blah blah blah...basically all the performance crap that throws all the well engineered comforts like a nice smooth quiet ride right out the window. I must say, a stock DSM is a very nice, and well engineered car. It's powerful, quiet and smooth in its purest form. I'm sure some of you are reading this are saying to yourselves; no sh*t asshole? But, having never experienced this, I'm beside myself. I'm almost not able to make myself dismantle this car. The boost control solenoid is still hooked up for gods sake. I'll get off my soap box now, but for those of you who have experienced this, please chime in and back me up here. I mean, am I the only one here wishing I could walk into the Mitsu dealer RIGHT NOW and purchase a brand new 1G DSM/VR4/Etc...???
Anyways, here's a few pics. Like I said, the car is rough, but the power train is sound. I'm anxious to run a compression test and see exactly what I'm working with. I'm hoping to strip the motor down to the short block, and run it as is. I'm still waiting to take the motor out of the VR4 and see directly what caused a rod to shoot through the oil pan. Until then, I'm going to enjoy driving the Laser!!!
