So I've known for a while that somehow I ended up with different lower shock mounting bolts in my rear knuckles.
Wasn't an issue until going from 18x10.5 15et Enkei RPF1 to 18x11 15et Konig Hypergram.
Only had the new setup on for 2 runs before the center diff shit the bed, but now getting...
Both the Oil Filter housings I have are leaking, one I cracked, the other is leaking from the rear plug that has the spring.
I picked up a "re-manufactured" OFH on eBay, and I am unsure if I should use it, they painted the entire thing, including the internal surfaces from what I can see.
Is...
I am giving up on the twin disc clutch, and the bolts that fasten the clutch to the flywheel are much longer than what is required to go back to a stock style setup. Is there a mitsubishi part number for these 6 bolts?
I have a set of the tubular rear toe arms on my car and I am seeing excessive play on them.
I am paranoid about wheel bearing failure, more an issue on the front, but with rear axles hard to come by, any play makes me nervous.
I don't think the movement I see is the wheel bearing because I only...
My 2G AWD Talon that is used exclusively for autocross had some rule updates this year that allow me to change the intercooler piping, CBV and OEM boost controls. I am not allowed to make any changes to the turbo.I was planning on relocating the OEM intercooler to be behind the passenger side...
Can anyone tell me if this is the correct replacement cartridge for a T25?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mitsubishi-Eclipse-Various-4G6N-2-0-4-190HP-TB2566-Turbo-charger-Cartridge-CHRA-/252258778150
I have a stock block / stock turbo / stock boost system car that I autocross, and the rules for my class have been updated to allow intercooler swaps this year. No piping changes are allowed, so it needs to stay as a side mount.
The OEM is 8x7x2.5, looks like I have space to fit a custom...
Does anyone know the spec's/dimensions of the steering wheel spline?
I'm allowed to change steering wheels in the class one of my cars is in, but the wheel can't weigh less than stock, so I wanted to design a weighted steel adapter to make the swap legal.
Looks to be around 15mm, but not sure...
Just a little Public Service Announcement.For those of you running ARP wheel studs (most likely you race or "race" your DSM, which is why I'm posting here):This summer I ordered a bunch of wheel bearings from Rock Auto for spares and discovered that the Timkin brand comes with short...
Looking to buy a non-sunroof headliner. Condition of the fabric does not need to be perfect, as I will most likely have it redone, but it needs to be in good shape form wise.
After mangling my strut tower bar & radiator frame structure winching the car on the trailer, I need to mount a tow strap. Any suggestions as to where to put it?
Is my car too low?
Between a blown front damper and the Ebay strut bar it seems I've been jamming the front left wheel into the frame. Now I have cracks on the drivers side and popped spot welds in both strut towers.
Time to visit the welder.I also can't help myself, they smell so good:
I want to relocate my radiator overflow tank and I wanted to use this: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/radiator-overflow-tank-universal
Am I going to run into problems because there is no dump tube like the OEM tank?
My front subframe is cracked so I bought one that was advertised as "95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse OEM mid car cross member engine cradle support". I haven't taken mine out yet, but after taking a closer look, I am noticing some diferences and someone wrote with grease pencil on the one I bought that...
Curbs kill. What sucks is that I could probably get the car ready for next week if I could get the parts, but a line on the Penske remote reservoir got pinched, thats needs to shipped out to Cali for repair. What really bites is it probably got damaged while pushing the car onto the trailer.
I’ve got a small claims court date coming up with the shop that butchered my car build, and since I’m not an expert in engine specs and such, I was hoping that you guys might be able to school me a bit on how to respond to any “excuses” that they are sure to come up with.A bit of history: they...
I got the Jacks transmission from someone on the site here, not previously installed on a car, with a quaife front LSD and a welded center (which the shop who installed the trans rreplaced with a 4-spider). The trans has less than 200 miles on it, 4 autocross events on 245 Bridgestone RE-71R's...
I am re-doing the my accusump lines from -8an to -10an, and changing from the oil cooler ports to the turbo feed port. I've got an Evo 3 7 bolt OFH and I'm getting conflicting information on which ports are filtered & thread specs.The picture below says that #1 is unfiltered, this currently is...
After sitting for 5 years I finally got my 98 Talon AWD back running, unfortunately since I got a battery back in it the ABS light is always on, and it's obvious after autocrossing the car, that the ABS isn't working. The fuse is ok, the speed sensors & harnesses look good, but the following...
Does anyone have a picture or part number of what goes underneath the gas pedal?
Not sure where it went, but the gas pedal stuck open after my 3rd run. My ghetto fix allowed me to finish the day, but I couldn't get full throttle.
Has anyone used the Chase Bays Brake Booster Eliminator in a road race or autocross application?
I'm debating if I should get this to install with my Evo Brembo upgrade.
Between fixing my mushroomed ball joints and all the bolts I misplaced removing my suspension over the winter, I didn't pay much attention to which lower control arm was originally on which side. They look identical so I figured it wouldn't matter which side they were installed on. I did notice...
Does anyone know what the thread size is for the front lower control arm ball joints? I borked mine up taking the suspension off and I wanted to know what size die to get to fix them. I brought the nut down to Lowe's and Home Depot and determined it's not M14 x 2.0, but they didn't have any...
The shop that started my engine build bought ID1000s for an EVO X, and I didn't catch it when I brought the car to another shop to finish the project. The shop that originally bought the injectors say that the EVO X injectors will work with an adapter, and looking at the drawings on the ID...
I’ve got a 95 TSI AWD that is currently in the shop for a head swap (when they swapped in the rebuilt motor from my 98 they didn’t install the 98 head & the head off the original motor must have been machined slightly and I got tired of telling fellow competitors that it wasn’t cammed). The 98...
It's been 4 months, 10 days, 16 hours since my last autocross, and I was having some serious withdrawal. Nothing like whuppin' on the NY Porsche Club to get in the groove again.I let my recovering Miata driving friend co drive (he was a bit closer to me than last time he drove my car, since...
After running my 98 TSi AWD in D Stock for a decade or so, I started prepping it for ESP. Unfortunately my second blown T25 took out the motor. So I figured I'd see what all the sane DSM autocrossers are doing and join Street Mod.Since the motor has to come out I'm looking for suggestions...
My friend and I are competing in the SCCA Solo Nationals tomorrow & Wednesday and have blown our T25 turbo on the practice course. If any one within a 250 mile radius of Lincoln NE has a good T25 that we can buy it would be really appreciated. We need to have the turbo in hand and back to...
