Hey man, i've been looking for DSM enthusiasts in the Tampa area. I have an engine that's disassembled and getting put back together. Perhaps we can help each other out. I've done the balance shaft elim and a few other mods this forum has suggested. DM me

Welcome back to the DSM clan. Nice clean car! Good find! Keep her alive and strong!

Plan for it to take 3 years longer than expected and $2,000 more than budgeted.Pro tip: leave all the hoses connected from their source and if not, use painters tape to mark what they are or what they go to. Same with electrical in some cases. It may be a long time until you need to reconnect...

Well at least you’re still checking the forums. I’ve stepped away the last 5 years but am recommitting to getting my baby on the road.I’m really glad this archive of knowledge is still around for reference.

Woohoo! There’s 3 of us now! This thread is revived! Who wants to meetup and reminisce over when our cars used to run?? 😅

Bump. Anyone here?! :crickets:

Every year there is a MoM (Mitsubishi Owners Meetup) in Orlando in March. I think it's sponsored by Performance Destination over there in Orlando.

Hey Everyone, Looks like this Forum hasn't had any posts in a while but I thought I'd give this a shot and see who is around. I have a 97 Talon TSI i'm building in the garage of my Apt building. Looking for DSM buddies in the Clearwater/St.P/Tampa area. I go to Rides by the River at Armature...

Welcome @Danhlmn , If you're in Alabama, you may need to look out of state, and it will most likely need some work for your price range so I'd get familiar with the maintenance forum. Good luck with your search!

And here i am using the old 2 pillow on my chest technique. I should get a new jack...

I've been a site member for 9 years, Ive read through all of those upgrade paths before, none of them mention engine modifications or porting in the upgrade path guides.I was hoping for a tech article that would index them like: 2G Head oil mod#1, oil mod#2, oil mod#3, etc.

This one advertised a 60mm. I ordered it. 40$!Another oil mod?! How many are there?!I wouldn't have thought these engines have this many problems. Has anyone indexed these?

i found a Evo3 IM on a website called tdeviagro.com I've never heard of this site, but when i searched 4G63 it came up with hundreds of parts, all REALLY cheap. Full head gasket rebuild kits for 23$, AEM cam gears for 50$, 1000cc injectors for 99$.... wtf? anyone ever buy anything from here...

Excellent advice OLDDOOD, it's been a while since I been on the forums so this slipped my mind. I'll definitely look out for the IM and TB.
