Was in Japan w/ the Navy. Bought 95 Talon ESI new and had it shipped to my home in North Dakota from the Factory. Went on leave a couple times and loved owning a brand new car for the first time in my life. Got out of the Navy in 98 and drove the car daily for about 3 months. Missed the...

First of all I have to say there are many good replies to this post. I was enlisted Navy 89-98. Had a great time. Most of the time was spent in the Pacific. Lived in Japan for 6 1/2 years. Served on two aircraft carriers and 1 F/A-18 squadron. I visited: Hawaii Mexico Japan Iwo Jima...

The 240's are good DD's. When I lived In Japan, i had a 84 Skyline GT and bought a 91 S13 Silvia Q's. Non turbo Auto. It was my DD. Only had to replace the o2 sensor other than that it was a great ride.

Good find Matt, So how many DSM's you have now? Three?

Mitsubishi launched its newest Ralliart variant in the Japanese market this week - the Colt Ralliart Version-R.Powered by a 1.5-liter, DOHC 16-valve, four-cylinder MIVEC turbo un der an EVO-esque hood vent, the little FWD pocket racer is motivated by 154 hp, turning 16-inch alloys clad with...

I posted some pics of the EVO Wagon after I got back from Japan. They can be found in the below thread:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219623I would love to have one.

I just bought it last week-end and really like it. :thumb: The load screens suck but I can handle it. For the sound just turn it off and crank some music you like. I was surprised to see the Galant GR4 in the game. I like just running drift. Practicing and then when I have a handle on it I...

98TSIAWD told me that JNZ Tuning is who told him the cables were discoontinued. That's why he called me.Recent items I bought and had no propblem getting were: Door boxes Power window switch Door handle Outside door sashes Weatherstripping for doors Exterior trim on top side of door...

Just some info on some 2G parts. Was trying to find a part for 98TSIAWD today and found out the part was discontinued.2G 5 speed manual shifter cables p/n MB910538 is no longer available form Mitsubishi. Checked with Mitsubishi Vintage Parts and found they were not available there...

As they used to say when I was in the Navy. "Keep your head on a swivel". Do that and you should be alright. Concentrate on the here and now. To add to the other posts, Thanks! I really appreciate what you are doing and hope you get back soon. We're pullin' for you here.C Howell

Just picked it up. Been hearing Vicarious for about a month now and just anticipating the new album. It was talked up as getting back to the original hard Tool sound. They have been referencing Anemia.Vicarious- 4 stars, 7 minutes of 4 StarsJambi - RockinWings For Marie (Pt 1) -...

I had the same problem with mine. Turned out to be a bad ground as well as a set up issue. Took it to my work and the head tech cleaned and checked my grounds. Worked fine for two or three drives and then happened again. The tech the reset the idle and it's never reared it's ugly head...

I hacked the stock snorkel and added a section of pipe. It was about 10.00 bucks total. I really wouldn't be able to tell you how much performance it added but the turbo sound was a bit more noticeable. I found a a used Injen set up and bought it for 50 bucks. My hacked snorkel set up is...

Here's what the back of the Mitsu dealers lot looked like. EVO heaven. I asked the Sales/Service Manager if all these EVO's were in Inventory. He said about 3 were the rest were customers cars. I then asked are they all in for repairs and he said no. The owners race them in Time Attack and...

I took a total of 187 pics which about 50 were of cars. I will post up as many as I can. Here come another few. Stopped at a Suto Bac's and these were in the parking lot. I even got a chance to go to the Super Autobacs in Yokohama. Talk about being a kid in a candy store! The Super...

Stopped at a local used car lot and found this 2G Eclipse for sale for about 6 grand. It is a bone stock GS-t. And yes the wheels have to go:notgood: Second pics are for the 1g guys. It is owned by a guy I hooked up with from Tuners who was stationed over there. The AWD's are badged as gsr-4.

These pics are from when we stopped at a rest area near Mount Fuji. Pulled into the lot and saw this beautiful site. Spoke to the guys that owned them and they were from all over the Tokyo area. About once a month they head out to the Fuji area on drives.

Well, finally posting up some pic's from my trip to Japan. I was there last week and had a blast. First pic is a 06 Evo 9 wagon. 2nd is the interior shot. It's an auto, this car was at the Mitsu dealer fully dressed out with gauges.

I just got back. Had an awsome time and got some pretty good pix's. Will post how it went and hopefully some pix's tomorrow.Howie

Arctic TSII was in the Navy and stationed at NAF Atsugi. Lived in Minami Rinkan, and then right out the main gate of Atsugi. I spent most of my time at Atsugi but was with the airwing so ended going to Yokosuka to catch the boat. If I remember correctly I spoke with you about a year or...

:D I'm leaving Friday and heading back to Japan. It has been 6 years since my last visit. I can't wait. I will be bringing my camera as planning on taking tons of pictures. It will be good to get back to my old stompin' grounds and catch up with some of my friends. Got plans for some...

Here's a quick chop with fmic close to black color. BTW front bumper looks great.:thumb:

My Drivers side door box was missing a small piece in the corner as well as my door panels felt weak and and is if they were falling apart.Keep in mind, you will be working with quite a few plastic parts. Plastic is not strong and aged plastic is brittle. Take your time and don't Man...

InvaderGSX- Here's the info I'm pulling directly from the recall notice. Hope it helps:"PURPOSE Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. (MMSA) is voluntarily recalling affected vehicles for possible lower lateral arm ball joint boot damage. Rubber boots on the lower lateral arms may have...

Looks good. I have a 95 gsx with the 97 conversion and that wing. Here's a pic. later

Wicked96GS-T - yep that's my gsx in the background. first person that noticed. 'course the focus was on the 06.Like I posted originally I am not a fan of the 06. The seats are nice but in my opinion they aren't firm enough. kinna soft and sloppy. The interior is too big in places but...

Just snapped some pics of a customers car. It's 06 eclipse with the factory body kit Just thowing it up so people can see it. I am not a large fan of the 06 as I have a 95 GSX. He's going to try and tackle the wheel gap next. I think the body kit makes it look a little better.

Thanks for all the good advise. For now I think my first route will be to go thru the exhaust system again. Currently running stock downpipe, straight pipe instead of cat, stock from cat back to axle and then a N1 knock off muffler. 95GSXBLUR- currently checkin into running pretty close to...

Thanks Jared but I have already gone thru this. In Stage 1 I have already done steps 1-7 and am questioning on suggestions or recommendation based on experience for steps 8, 9, 10 & 12.

I got a faily stock 95 GSX. I have 131,xxx on the OD. It has been babied since day one. I have a stack of recripts for everything that has been done. I had it checked over for crank walk and no signs at all. The Mitsu tech said its the best taken care of near stock Eclipse he had ever seen...

Looks nice! I love wheels with a deep polished lip. Really sets the car off. :thumb:

I'm probably gonna piss some people off but here is my input: Official, certified Mitsu Service centers have access to MDL It is a direct link to the Mitsubishi Database. This will show all warranty work done to the vehicle by its specific vin. Don't know about Eagle/Dodge. Any service...

Congrats! Kick arse job. I wish I could work Photosop that good. Let us know what the prize is.

A little more info on the car would be good. Drivetrain, transmission, engine and model info would be a good start. I work at a Mitsu dealer and here's what I would suggest and what we normally see on a high milage eclipse. Timing belt $299.95 parts and labor All Drive belts $80.00 no labor...

2nd one up with a 95 gsx in durnago copper pearl. but I got the 97 conversion done.

Bringing this back from last month.EVO IX will be released in the US in December. They found 16 extra HP for the US model bringing it up to 292. :thumb:Just wish I could afford one. :cry: Here's the info on the Japanese EVO IX:Mitsubishi Motors launches Lancer Evolution IX...

Good luck with it. I used to live in Williston but moved to Florida. Sounds like you are having a nice winter. Miss the drifting with my GSX in the snow. :thumb:

Mitsu is pretty diverse. While I was in Japan found they have many different companies. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Cars, Trucks, Electronics. Even the escalator I used had mistsubishi on it. They are everywhere in Japan.

yep, I do get some perks. It has definately helped me with my repairs.

Thanks guys, The trans will be in on Monday from Atlanta and the transfer case is coming from Jersey and will be here tues. So looks like next week. I was considering on trading it in on the 04 MR or the 05 EVO 8 we have on the lot before the tranny and crap went titts up. Oh well. Maybe...

Well I am now offically part of the non-drivable dsm club. At 129,xxx my car sounded like it missed and then there was no power going to the drivetain. I stepped on the gas and tried a lower gear but nothing happened except the rpm needle went up and my car kept coasting. Then the motor died...

Just moved from nd to FL and there spots galore to take good shots but I like these best.

Nice find Matt. Let me know what parts you need. I'll try and hook you up.If anyone wants a 98 TSI buy his silver one. He's had it for sale forever. I'm sure he wouldn't mind the extra cash. I think he even installed a 14 B on it.

I live in Clearwater for now but commute to Hudson. The drive is kinna a drag but plan on moving closer sooner.BTW they may be hiring. Owning a mitsu is a plus.

I just made the move from North Dakota to Florida last month. It is so much better than the cold. I totally aced a new job in two weeks. I got hired at a Mitsubishi Dealer as a service writer. After a week on the job I was pulled aside by the GM and told I was doing a great job. The...

Little more info please. When does it happen? Warm cold weather? where does it seem to eminate from. Front or rear? What speed? I had a grinding noise and it was the rear wheel bearings. Replaced and good to go. btw what's you miles on the car?

Turbo Peak Crush and my favorite "George"I'll be in Tampa on the 20th. My wife is Japanese so I'm sure we could come up with a Japanese Name that would be cool.See ya then Rick.

For the PS2 Version it is auto save. Anytime you see the little srs logo in the upper right hand corner of the screen it save. Basically after you got to the garage, the whorehouse. oops, I mean warehouse. After a race and such. What are you running with and what's your HP rating? I got...

Yep that was me. Figured the trash bin wouldn't give me any door dings. :p I wish I would have run into ya.
