Black shoe polish works great until summer time :) BMW sells some great leather care products. I have used it and had great success with it.-Alex

^ Thank you sir. I will hopefully be ready to pull the spyder into the garage in the coming week, and drive out under awd the following week.Thanks to everyone that wrote a write-up, and who answered my questions.

Where did you get your strut tower bar? I saw one one a really clean 2g at work today but didn't have a chance to ask the owner.Thanks.

I have a pristine convertible top boot for when it is down, and I have a Canadian speedo in storage.

Oh I get it now, so the AWD rear bolts go where the FWD rear bolts are removed from, BUT the front bolt location is different than the FWD location! I get it. So, me pulling the front AWD bolts was a waste of my time?Thanks guys.

Im putting down ~400rwp in my Z! Stock in the Eclipse though.

I have been tearing apart my AWD donor car and have been memorizing the AWD swap write ups. the only part that throws me through a loop is the front bolts for the Spyder. The hole in the side of the frame rail, in the wheel well, seems like it would not yeild any easy way to remove the bolt...

Funny...

I live in Parkville. I get pretty deep into car projects if anyone wants to some shoot the stuff, and work on DSM's.

Auto's make me fall asleep at the wheel.

According to all of the write-ups, you can't get to the front bolts via the top, and I was under the impression that the OE bolts were recommended most over aftermarket bolts.

I am doing all of the work, and my biggest issue is going to be the subframe bolts; the holders seemed pretty rough to get out of the AWD shell, trying to do it neatly in the spyder seems like it is going to be difficult.

I will try and get some pics up tonight, the car is really dirty, and needs the body work finished, but it's still a pretty car.

I guess the right thing to do here is to start with a back story.I was sitting at work (Mitsubishi parts) and recieved a phone call from a kind old lady; she says that she wrecked the front of her car and doesn't want to see it go to the junkyard. I told the lady that I would gladly come take...

Not quite sure what this means, or to whom it is directed towards.A bad radiator cap would fail to pressurize the cooling system allowing the coolant to become less resistant to boiling. In this case the coolant will evaporate, and possibly overflow from, well, the overflow bottle.

^ If that is the case, perhaps your radiator cap is bad, while you are at it, (though it may be doubtful) replace your tstat.

Check your oil for any coolant; you are looking for a chocolate milk color. This will be a sure sign of a blown headgasket.You say you were "pushing" coolant, I assume burning it? Once a headgasket is blown, retorqing the headstuds probably will not completely fix that problem. Once the...

You might have a leaking injector. Depressing the throttle pedal to the floor will turn off the fuel pump, thus allowing your engine to try and overcome the fuel flooding issue. I would check your spark plugs immediately following a round of cranking the engine when cold, check for fuel on the...

I would back the Mitsubishi belt. I have never seen one break when changed within the recommended time period. I sell these belts every day and have not seen a defective one yet.

PM me the VIN number, I'll run it in super screen and see if I can look it up that way.

I just did some digging for a guy that called me today at work and gave me the "part number" listed in this post...I know it is old but I thought I would update this a bit.E8T07071 is the stamp number on the part, the actual part number for the relay is MD119202.I hope this helps...

I am going to try and make it this week, things are looking good for the house so I am going to take a break from searching and crunching numbers.

The talon isn't ready yet and the Z is getting ready for the autox with the PCA in June

I am trying to get my 1g awd transmission back into my car, clutch is in and everything, I will buy a case of beer or a sandwich for anyone that is feeling generous today. I am, unfortunately, doing this on jack stands in my driveway.Call or text me at 410-925-7701.Car is back together...

Scottie knows his stuff. I am going to trust him with my 300zx TT build, so you bet he is the best around.

I know that Swanner's machine shop up on the north side of Baltimore does all the work for Jerry's Mitsubishi, and I do all my work with him, he has the best prices and knows his Mitsu's.Scottie is the owner, the address is:8640 Quentin Ave, Parkville, MD 21234(410) 665-3250Tell him you...

Well, My days off were switched to Fridays, then I put in my notice and they obliged to let me go early. I hopefully will be back in work next week. I will let you know what my day is, but parts schedules are more forgiving for thursday night meets. I will hopefully have a 1g awd next week.

Go big or go home, a broken part is just an invitation for an upgrade. I would upgrade and never have to worry about it again. Just my .02.

I just got my days off switched to Fridays. I might try for a few Wednesday race meets if you guys head up that way. Just let me know what weeks you are planning on going.

What kind of aftermarket parts do you have? It's sad to see a car like this go to a cell phone....Who called by the way? Just wondering :D

Boo for rain, I'll be there next week for sure.

Possibly a meet tomorrow night? 60* out, or supposed to be. Maybe a little spritz but I'm not scared of a little water.

I was just checkin....jeesh. When does the weekly meet start back up? I assume you are just playing it by ear based on the weather. I might stop up on Thursday if you guys end up there.

I'd still be interested in poking my head in now and again if non-dsm's are still welcome. Summer time will be nothing but cars for me, from autox, events at summit point, englishtown and VIR......and work.I wouldn't mind a meet up with dsm's

Just to add this, driver skill plays a huge role in all of this. I personally say meet me on the grocery store parking lot, I'll bring the cones and when you take more than a minute to cross the finish line, don't cry... And I drive a 2g fwd with a 6 bolt and a 14b, running 9psi. That is all I...

It is against forum rules to list where you can break the law...

The 95 model year 2g's are obd2 but are not scanned as such. They are put on the treadmill as 1996 is the first year of federally required OBD2.

You will be upset when you have a black streak on your radiator.

Correct me if I am wrong but thin oil would have higher pressure.

If you decide OEM they are 14.03 each list and the part numbers are : MB538858, MB538857.

Try unhooking your boost controller. Hook vacuum to the lower port and plug the top one, That should make you run spring pressure... And I don't think your problem is with the wastegate opening, it is with it staying closed.

I am a couple more weeks until I can make it back to the meet. The talon is getting a new set of rod bearings to hopefully cure the newfound knock she has developed.

^ shaving door handles is super rice imho.Wingless looks sexy, but I love the 2ga talon side skirts with a 2gb eclipse front w/ 2gb eclipse rear. That is what I am going to go with. Bronze rims with the DSM maroon is true dsm theme colors imo.

Ye Ole Wheel Shop does great work but takes a while to get done due to their high volume, you would have to ship your wheels to them. They are down here in MD. Good luck tho, the curbage doesn't look too horrible though.-Alex

These parts are for a 6 bolt 1991 engine and I sold these parts to myself, P#'s are accurate and so are MSRP prices. You can buy these parts from me if you so chose to and I can get it under MSRP for ya.Water pump is MD972052 154.02 Timing belt MD326059 78.25 Timing belt tensioner MD164533...

I vote the voltage stabilizer, but I would vote your pully to be the culprit of your next engine failure...

Is this for the oval track or the drag strip?

Scuzzlebutt...I'll probably be dynoing AND will have the new shoes :)

Who here is going to the college park meet on Sunday? I will certianly try and show.College Park Tuning :: The Official Car Club of the University of Maryland for more info.

Yes sir I will. I do need two 235/45/17's used bald whatever, just temporary as I am getting a set of evo rims this weekend for the talon. So if anyone has any for dirt cheap I will take them ( I mean free or around there, as these are just temporary until I get my autox wheels).
