Working..LOL Delivering northwest Minnesotan's their O'riellys, Auto Value and Car Quest auto parts. Believe it or not I really enjoy it. Previously worked here for a year before moving into building co2 lasers. I missed driving too much (along with some other BS in the workplace), so back I...
Shawn at Forced Four is a good dude. Makes some quality parts. Haven't gotten to the point to run any of his products but you can best believe I'll be using his stuff.
It's possible however I don't have any of those specs in front of me to reference. If you can source some from Mitsubishi then go ahead and get those. PEP is another great company. Your machine shop will have a brand they use that they'll recommend.Your best bet is to just take the head in and...
You're not likely to need new seats. Unless there has been multiple valve jobs done to said head you should have a decent window as far as material goes. With that being said ask your local machine shop. They can likely give you a better idea especially on brand. They likely go through SBI, DNJ...
It really depends on what type of racing you'll be doing. I seem to remember a local guy that has a 1,000HP G-VR4 and I want to say his PTW is .008-.0085". He drag races his car with occasional street use. I could be mistaken on the PTW. Honestly it is a mixture of personal choice and...
The PTW doesn't seem too extreme depending on what piston you are using. Most brands are going to making the piston smaller than the advertised bore anyhow. So if you want a .020" over piston it isn't going to measure .020" over on the skirt. It'll be a size that includes your PTW clearance at...
Well everyone, the popular brand EPN has discontinued making their revised 3mm HLA/lifters for our engines. Their valves and guides I would assume are to follow shortly. I know this as I contacted "engnbldr" on eBay asking about lifter availability and he gave me this message:With that...
Sometimes anciet is good! Some people prefer Moog. There was something awhile back on a Cummins forum about how Moog was bought out by a different, cheaper company and their quality was starting to lack. I however have all Moog steering parts as well as balljoints in my '95 Ram 2500. I think if...
Any luck with this? Seems quite ridiculous that with how old these cars are and how often they are parted out no one sees the need to make replacements. I contacted KYB and apparently they don't make any bushings for the struts they sell. lol Or in other words that don't want to be bothered with...
Looks & sounds like a bunch of SJWs that're "feelin the Bern" in this thread. Lmao Interesting music to hear while reading the comments, I'll give you that much.I usually trust those that know more than myself on specific topics. Or anyone that does such for a living. Reason being? They have...
I'd have the cylinder head looked at by a machine shop man. Make sure everything is good to go there. They'll resurface it too and you'll be able to rule an un-level head out of the equation as well.
In all honesty I originally wanted a 3g! They're just hard to find. Literally the only two on Craigslist anywhere near me fit the following; beat to hell dirt track car and destroyed teenager's first car with a light bar bolted to the roof. lol Ridiculous. They're definitely ugly but I like it...
I don't spend much time there simply because I could never find anything I wanted there. When the time comes and I can afford to do something with this I will likely check them out. For now I am very limited in being able to do anything.From what I was told the spline count in the hub is...
Wow! I feel like a real winner for having not responding to you! I honestly haven't even gotten that far. I have pretty much given' up even putting the engine in the car at this point because everything I find is useless information wise to me. I know somewhere there is a thread that if you...
A Mighty Max isn't a DSM however they are a very cool Mitsu. vehicle. Those VQs are a boat anchor compared to the 4g. Unless of course you like spending more money on oil than gas then I mean, by all means!I'm only mostly kidding. Hope the search for a 4g goes well.
In the case of this thread and pertaining to only 1gs that is irrelevant. No offence. Everyone who offers/offered OEM cables still have 2g stuff. Those I'm not too worried about at the moment.
Thanks for the information. It might be time someone decides to start making these for those of us looking for new ones, no?Edit: Looks like 1990 cables are the only ones available which doesn't help me. Anyone needing new '90 cables get a hold of RTM.
If that's the route that has to be taken then so be it. I'm looking for a premade replacement at the moment however. So if this fails then I/we are forced to turn to that.
That is a good option however I would like to find where to source new ones. Just simply because used ones can be stretched, fraying, dry-rotted and the list goes on and on. It would just would be nice to know if we have a new alternative for 1gs as we do for 2gs.Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing the thread (if it exists), on where we're to look for new shifter cables? Checked Extreme PSI and did a little looking on Google; no dice.Someone thought it was a good idea to replace the bushings in the cable ends with bearings. Then they didn't take care of them so they...
Thank you sir! I just received a 1g F/W4A33 upper transmission bracket today. Now (hopefully), I will be able to mount the transmission correctly and make the front and rear mount! The ratchet strap isn't exactly going to cut it. LOL
Oh, the lovely "fabricate one" comment. Listen guys, if I were better at doing such and welding I would. I didn't get a lot of fabrication training in school even though I had a class specifically for it. Just what happens when you have 25+ kids in a class with one instructor. HahahahaAnyway...
Odd. Considering we have sources such as LMC truck and the equivalent for other types of vehicles. Hopefully one day I'll be in the position to do such. No sense in supporting a brand/model only until it is impossible to find parts for. Personal opinion. Continue on.
Curious why things like these aren't going to places whom have the ability to duplicate them rather than selling outright and completely depleting the availability.
