Yes, but I think it needs modifications also...search forums for "outlander big brake upgrade" - feedback from the community seems to indicate this is one of the most cost-effective brake size upgrades. However, if what you really want is just sportier driving dynamics with less brake fade, you...
If you are planning to do lots of uphill/downhill speed runs, you might want to look into an outlander or 3kgt big brake upgrade, or just break down and get the wilwoods. That last option is a bit pricey, but then again the convenience of a straight bolt-on balances that out. It is a bolt on...
Awesome news. I'm happy to see the kids getting an opportunity to work on a car that they will enjoy working on. Much more inspiring than an '85 Chevette! I think the coolest thing is that with the modifications, they'll get exposure to working a lot on tuning and electronic controls, which is...
Unless it's already been re-tuned for it, venting to the atmosphere is just going to cause problems with the air/fuel mix. You might look at using the wastegate from a 1g, which I read on here recently can handle something like 35psi, and you won't have crappy idle or get fuel cut as often. I...
A wider rim WITH a wider tire will definitely improve grip, but overall handling could be negatively impacted with the heavier rim. Especially if you go as wide as 9.5", where I'm pretty sure you will need wheel spacers, you're adding lots of unsprung weight and then pushing it even further...
I'm in a 1g at stock height, but I am rocking 18 x 7.5 rims with I believe a 40mm offset. I can't answer your questions about clearance, but I can tell you stretching the tires will1. Not improve handling, as the contact patch doesn't have any additional tread to bite with; stretched enough...
Good call by lazyboy. Those would look very much at home on a mildly modified 280z. But you should ignore me anyway because I personally dislike black wheels and the blacked out look generally :idontknow:
Is it the breather hose or the inter cooler hose that goes to the throttle body? Try one of the vendors here, or order from Mitsubishiparts.com. I like the Mitsubishi site because they have parts diagrams for lots of the components
If that fuse blew, you might have blown some others, and/or taken out some relays (i.e. for the fuel pump). Is it making any noise at all when you crank it? Does the starter try to engage? I would imagine that anything electrical that pulls amps when the car turns on could potentially have been...
I'm looking for a TPS, but prices are all over the map. Can anyone recommend a particular brand/manufacturer that they've had good (or horrible) experience with? I have next to no upgrades ('92 GS-T), and I don't plan to ever run more than about 300 hp.I just can't figure out why one TPS...
Full disclosure: I'm a newbie (old owner, new to actually doing this detailed work myself), and by no means an expert on transmission issues, but if it doesn't go into gear with the clutch on the floor, the adjustment needs to be backed off. In that 2nd scenario that you gave, if you leave it in...
Thanks! I hadn't paid much attention when I started opening it up again when I was thinking of selling it, but it's actually not in bad shape, too. Needs hoses, pulleys & bearings, TPS, coolant reserve/overflow tank, and LOTS of cosmetic work (especially inside), and a few other things here and...
It depends how much you want it back. $40 will get you the CarFax report that will show registration history. Not perfect, but you'd know where it was the last time the registration was renewed.
I am 6'4" and I have long legs. It's never been an issue with my 1G (turbo). My wife used to have a 2G (automatic, NA), and I did not fit in that thing AT ALL. It was like sitting on one of those Squatty Potties. I don't know if there was more leg room in the manuals, but if your pants are 32 x...
After struggling with the decision to do something with my DSM or get rid of it, I've decided to go with the foolish, expensive, time-sucking decision. Which is clearly the correct one. :D
