I miss playing with 2-strokes.I'd buy another Banshee (I've had about 6 of them over the years), but the market on 2-strokes is getting obscene.My younger brother bought an RZ350 a couple of months back to restore/set up as another track bike which has made me jealous a little.

Another update to this--someone stated that these wear "due to the metal inner sleeve of the OEM throw out bearing wearing it". This is also not correct.The OEM throw out bearing has a resin sleeve, whereas a lot of aftermarket bearings use a metal inner race that WILL cause this problem...

The angle cut gears were only *originally* in the 1996 through 1999 cars when they rolled off the production floor.That being said, the angle cut 2nd gear has been the "go-to" 2nd gear since the late 90's during rebuilds. Also, as Mitsubishi updated parts, a new, replacement transmission for...

It's the thickness of my fingers and hands. I'm learning that I have to fret some chords using one finger for two strings, especially at the higher frets, or else I'm muting other strings, even though I'm almost on my nails. I bought a 60's Standard thinking it would have been better with the...

The website is circa 2019-2020.I don't have an email from anyone asking about a lobro kit. What address did you send it to? [email protected]?We were without power/internet last week from Tuesday's storm, until Friday afternoon, but I was still monitoring emails via my phone, and was...

I needed to get away from work (DSMs), cars (Mostly DSMs and Mitsus), and working on the house/buildings, and decided to learn guitars, two weeks ago.Picked up a Les Paul.Wife started wanting me to teach her a few things. She played with the LP, and while she liked it, it was obviously not...

What you have there are two, 2G, 2nd gears. The standard cut gears are off of a 1995 car, and the angle cut gear is off of a 96-99 car. Both will accept the standard, 2G dual-cone synchro (MD745896). Both are pretty beat in the pictures.I've always used the angle cut gears in builds over...

I've used the Mitsubishilinks.com download on secondary computers that I don't have a Mitsu dongle for, since around 2006 now. Goes up to 2008 models.I have it running on a box that I just built, running Win11, before I migrate the official version over.

This used to be an easily accomplished thing, but Mitsubishi has recently revamped their Dealer Link website, and I'm not sure that the radio code lookup is still active. The Vehicle Superscreen page is, which is why I suggested that route, but it won't work if it's not the original radio...

Ha! I was just coming down to the office to email you, Chad!Don't forget the second to last GVR-4 upper thermostat housing! ;-)It was nice putting a face to a name, I wish it wasn't raining and we were able to shoot the breeze more.Thanks again!

If the radio is the original unit, you can also visit your local dealer with the VIN, and ask them to run a Superscreen in the dealer portal. This will include the info on your car (selling dealer, in service date, etc., including the radio code).

On another note, the solder method has been something I've only done once or three times over the years to confirm results. It kinda sucks in general, and Mitsu's transmission shimming from the factory showed that over the years. There are other ways...and *MUCH* cheaper than this, as I've...

Wow.I've seen Kurt be "abrasive and direct", but haven't seen him really be a "dick" about things. Yes, he and Bobby seem to rub each other the wrong way, and I've seen merits on both sides....AND, I like both. I've spoken to both of them at length over the years, and don't find issue...

What you're looking at has no bearing on "real-world".Even the picture seems to show it. The input shaft looks "somewhat" straight. The forks look similiar....The intermediate shaft looks to be leaning towards the left of the picture, which would lean (pun intended) towards this photo...

Errr....You need to email me on that one, but I just may have something for you. :-D

Second of two for tonight, the last two Yoke Recall Kits that I'll probably ever see.Yoke and solid (unobtanium) u-joint for the price of the yoke and hollow u-joint. Not cheap, but also probably the last ones out there...

First of two for tonight, and this one is for all of the GVR4 guys!Upper thermostat housing for the GVR4s. Disco'd around 2019. Two available. One per customer.https://jnztuning.com/product/gvr-4-upper-thermostat-housing-discontinued-md130456/

So, each year, I typically take a loose inventory of parts that I have that are discontinued, hard to get, used items of value, etc....basically to put limits on my hoarding which gets out of control at times.I typically put the stuff up on Facepage, but this year, I'm going to put them up on...

Congrats on obtaining one of the last new ones in existence!

Oh, stop. You're absolutely an "old head" at this point, or at least just "old". :D Own it and join the rest of us "antiques". :-/

Close, but that looks like an EVO IX BOV. Part # 1545A001

I'm working on those, but it's taking some time to come to fruition.

Since the MD726235 bearings are probably the last I'll see/be able to offer (and the aftermarket replacements are around twice the cost in addition to not being "OEM") except if I find them on rare occasions, I'm open to suggestions as to how/when to put them up for sale. I've been...

They look similar to some of the doors I picked up recently to replace wood & non-insulated doors around here (10 of them on the property). Great score (color me jealous!!!).The only thing I'd suggest is reading/rereading up on locating the hinge mounting points before you start loading...

While I appreciate you trying to be "precise", you're kind of making something out of nothing.The clutch disc does NOT have to be centered to a thousandth of an inch, as I mentioned before. The "2-3mm off" you're seeing makes no difference, and the clutch disc will move that much (or more) as...

We're starting to put our Christmas presents under the tree for the *other*, old, fat, hairy guy to come an pay us a visit!The disco'd MD726235s were the first to make their appearance:We found them to be lonely, so we dug up some other friends who have been scarcely seen of late to join...

Is the ACT alignment tool still marked "20 Ford"? If so, it's the same alignment tool that they (and many other clutch manufacturers) have been using for about 25 years now without issue.No, it's not made specifically for DSMs, and it's an off-the-shelf Dorman alignment tool (obviously...

Yes? No? Without know exactly what your current front line setup is, that can't be answered with certainty.I'm not sure what brake lines you currently have on your car. I've seen places making them 1 piece to be cheaper, etc. This is another reason our lines are just SS copies of the OEM...

I've used this setup for quite a few years now on several cars.For me, it's less about the extra braking, and more with being able to *obtain* the parts. Outlander rebuilt calipers (with brackets), Outlander rotors, and simply changing the lower brake lines to banjo style, and you're back in...

Correct, but I would emphasis that one would want to flash the correct ROM per that specific vehicle to the ECU before hitting smog.The only reason I say this is that I've heard from some customers over the years that when they ran a black box ECU in an earlier car, or an earlier ECU in a...

As shown above, there are no different ECUs (or programming) for Fed/CA emissions. They were 50 state compliant and changed by year, not emissions.

Side note, there are no "EGR Sensors" on 2G GST/GSXs, California or otherwise. There were exhaust, high temp sensors (could be termed an "EGR sensor") on the 1G cars in CA, but with the 2Gs it was monitored via the ECU (looking for O2 sensor changes when the EGR would be opened/closed).

Here are the 2G GST ECUs:

98-99 are "Black Box" ECUs. Here are all of the ECU's for 2G GSXs by production date:1 is 1995 MODEL YEAR 2 is 1996 3 is 1997 4 is 1998 5 is 1999

The man isn't wrong. In fact, what he's saying has been true on these cars for at least the last 20 years."Maintenance 1st, Modify 2nd" was something that caught people even back in the early 2000s.Now, it's exponentially *MORE* important.

Sorry, not available through Mitsu and we don't plan on creating a kit for those.You may want to try a Mopar dealer for those. These would be the part numbers you'd be looking for if going OEM:

There are a ton of posts on here about using them.For example: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-upgrade-your-2g-wiper-squirters-oem.225814/

. 312-. 315” (7.93 – 8.00mm)That noted, eliminate the issue noted above: Measure the thrust (point past the TOB shaft that the TOB travels) with the old setup, and then again with the new setup (fork/bearing/clip) with the clip installed CORRECTLY.Diagnostics is a process of elimination as...

The plate actually looks okay (finger position) in those other photos.The throw-out bearing retaining clip is not on properly:

Last picture in your link---showing the ACT Plate---those fingers look to be in a compressed state.It's hard to really confirm from that picture, but....

Interesting, as the Evo IXs seem to have no problem using it, nor do many other places experience increased pump failures due to them.I'm guessing it was just a thought and they took it down after realizing that it had more to do with over-tightening the belt and not with the belt itself. *shrug*

I didn't mean to come off as offended, nor did I mean for you to take the entire post as it being directed towards you---simply to address some additional comments since I've last seen the post.I'm in the same boat to some extent as what you're saying. I cringe a little when I see someone...

A lot of people have ran bargain-basement parts on their cars and have gotten away with it--I've yet to see *any* part fail 100% of the time. At the same time, stay in the game long enough and you'll find an example of a quality part having an unexplained failure--I've yet to see *any* part be...

Marty,Applaud your work as always---but why (other than having 1 engine out of 100 with REALLY bad balancing) would one want to keep B-shafts in these motors at this point?

DIE, traitor! 🤣*hugz*

DSMDan has always been a flashback when it shows up!Ha! It's rare these days with how fast Mitsu is disco'ing parts and how they're maintaining their inventory, but I always dream of posting something worthwhile as opposed to my typical "bad news" posts. :-/Certainly!They came to the...

We've been slowly chipping away at finding quality solutions to Mitsubishi's ever-increasing pricing updates, and lack of availability. It was great being able to get a quality timing kit from Mitsu back in the 90's and just move forward with the job. No one even bothered to look at Gates...

You have a good injector, but a dry well and no firing---I would stick a noid light on that injector wire to make sure that you're actually getting a signal and it's firing.I'm guessing you'll be back-tracing through the system (wiring, ECU, CAS) to figure out why the injector *isn't* actually...

Wrong order. Switch 3 and 2.
