    2G Tow strap mounting

    That rear design is extremely dangerous without a way to smoothly redirect the load laterally.Only a couple hundred pounds of force to rip that weld right open unless you add some really robust gussets. Then it'll become a projectile and hopefully the tow vehicle and driver are protected.

    Bearing Part Number Cross-references

    Yeah, definitely use the sealed ones, Tim. I'm hoping the message about speedo gears, etc., isn't delaying it too much more.I've added some additional details to the spreadsheet and multiple sources to confirm part numbers. I found some references that included more details about the...

    Bearing Part Number Cross-references

    I wasn't aware that it was actually going to display inside the window when I posted it, I was just dropping the link. Let's see if this works to redirect instead of posting over. Google FileOkay, then please do that on my Quaife I ordered! :D I completely agree on the sealed bearing...

    Bearing Part Number Cross-references

    I'm doing a number of rebuild items and realized that Mitsu part numbers show up with other part numbers stamped right on them.For example, the rear differential side bearings ordered from Mitsubishi as MN168441 currently at ~$40 comes in a box with the Mitsu part number, but stamped NSK...

    1G Driveshaft Shop (DSS) 3.5" Adapter Plate Phasing

    I purchased a 1g DSS 3.5 aluminum driveshaft and when it arrived, I decided to mock up the connection as I was documenting the build. I quickly found that the 4-bolt to 6-bolt conversion plate was oriented with one point of the 6-bolt star shape at 90 degrees to the yoke arm for that side.The...

    Resolved 1G TPS Sensor Wiring - ECU Rewire

    Freaking found it. Cruise control taps off the TPS, which makes sense. I actually like cruise for long drives, so I'll probably have to route it back in.I don't know why they didn't just include it in the wiring diagrams anywhere else. Considering the whole project was to eliminate possible...

    Resolved 1G TPS Sensor Wiring - ECU Rewire

    What could be factory tapped on the TPS sensor wire near the ECU?I've been rewiring much of my engine bay all the way back to the ECU (refreshing 25+ year old wires, multiple relays/MPI replacement, dedicating power sources & grounds, individual wire looms, etc).I've found an issue with the...

    1G Evo X - 1G Hybrid Axles for Evo X Hubs

    I have looked into it and having some custom made is way out of my price range. 1-off items like that would quickly get into the thousands for just the hub/spindle; using existing products with slight modifications would keep the entire build way cheaper.

    1G Evo X - 1G Hybrid Axles for Evo X Hubs

    Edit on the last post. Looks like I had a calibration error on the calipers. The needle roller bearings on both setups have a 2mm diameter. They are different lengths, though.

    1G Evo X - 1G Hybrid Axles for Evo X Hubs

    There were a couple threads on putting Evo X hubs on a 1g, but I couldn't find a lot of info on doing so. I picked up a couple hubs and now I'm looking for all the things that need to be solved.First the reasons: update suspension with hubs using different geometry, bolt-in bearings, more...

    Portland Crews?

    Haha, I just found that there was more activity on this thread. I just got married and the car's been down with a transmission rebuild and clutch work, so I haven't been searching for people to hang with.I just used the term crew because it was shorter than "group of people into DSMs that...

    Clutch, Flywheel, and Trans Rebuild Troubleshooting Questions

    Note: I wrote to TMZ to get their input on some of this and I wanted to get some feedback here as well.I picked up a SBC DSM SSX-TZ/B kit from TMZ about a year ago. I loved it for all of about 8 months or so and have had engagement issues ever since. This was with some pretty hard driving in...

    Portland Crews?

    I'm not even so much into the drags, but the AutoX in South Paddock. I'm used to a kart track for autox in Southern Oregon, so the flat track and cones are a bit of a drag.I believe they have some events at a kart track called Pat's Acres Racing Complex (PARC). I've seen mostly drifting...

    Portland Crews?

    Just moved to Gladstone and looking for any activity in the Portland area. I'm hoping to be able to hit PIR next month when things settle down but I'd like to meet some fellow petrol heads before then. Track time with a group is always more fun.I went to the cars and coffee near the...

    3" straight exhaust?'s

    You'll throw a code for the rear O2 sensor and you'll have a wider power band and higher peak power. Nothing else bad would happen other than it being a lot louder.
