sup guys, on my drive back to tampa from MD, my engine siezed up on me and i had to get my car towed from SC down to here. The shop up there said i threw a rod becuase my oil pump failed (ironically enough my new autometer oil pressure guage just got here a couple weeks ago- figures) i finally got my car down here last week, and had a couple friends look at it, they odnt claim to be experts, but they seemed pretty sure i'd need a new engine, a new head at the least. oil was leaking out around between the head and the block, and all down around the transmission. the car wont even turn over, even with a juiced battery.

I heard about a guy named jerry who does nothing but mitsubishi work, but other than that, do you guys know of any good places in tampa to get my car properly diagonosed, and fixed (possible engine swap mmm 6bolt)

i know it can be done without a shop, its just that time is sorta running out - community service will not wait for personal transportation to be avaible.

 

you can pm "brothers" both of them work at Mitsubishi and they know what there doing im sure they will fix it for a decent price ..... if your looking to do a 6 bolt i would start looking for 1 so the swap will be quicker

 

where is the car located at the moment? where do you live? like the above stated you can have jerry *lancerman* or dave & rob *BROTHERS* do it.

if you want, pm me and i can get you both of their phone numbers.

 

do one of the brothers own a prelude, or used to own a prelude? i went to the mitsubishi dealership 2 years ago to get my sunroof fixed and AC fixed, and a guy who worked there drove a tuned prelude, and was working on an tuned eclipse at the time. pretty nice guy, i probably asked some pretty stupid quesitons and ne never laughed at my face. he probably waited till i left, haha

edit: i live across the street from USF, off of 42nd st. thats where the car is too.

 

I know a couple guys who live in palm harbor that can get great deals and both know and work mostly on DSM's, they each both own DSM's, they own a storage center where they do most of there jobs, they did a engine swap for my friends 95GST, and worked on a few things with my car, these guys are great and really reasonble priced, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if u want the # LMK so i can find there buisness card

 

Pm Nouseforaname (brian) he might be able to give you some help. I can do basics but brian and jerry are the best

 

im thinking the prelude was miguels "superlude" the eclipse was dave and robs "brothers"

 

the guy you are thinking of is Stu. your talking about the 96 black prelude w/black rims correct? he still works at mitsu on hillsborough and dale mabry.

 

whoops i was wrong

 

yeah it was a black lude, dont remember the rims, but they were big, with some big ass breaks. That name sounds familar too.

~still waitin for the call back haha
