What did you do to your Mitsubishi/ DSM today ( NO DRAMA)
 

Since the last one was closed here is a new one. NO DRAMA PEOPLE

if you have drama use the almighty PM

I changed my C.a.I to a S.R.I :D

Not something I did but Drew finished up my manifold to fit my new 75mm acuufab TB.

Tomorrow everything else goes together!


edit...

nice. ^ one question to all 2g drivers. are there any areas in the rear hatch area that are prone to leaking? i am going to fix my little rust problem but i need to find the damn source

sit in the hatch when it rains or run water over the hatch. then u can find the leak

yeah i was going to do that. oh and COD4 we talked at the last bbq about the stuff for the rust. you said i body supply shop should have it? and it's in a rattle can.

I worked on my gst spyder for about 12hours on Saturday...4shared_pm to 4am... Still had the same issue. Then got wasted at work, came home and somehow fixed the car in 15min... I love Jäger...

that always happens

I was gonna repost this thread on behalf of my bro, did but figured id wait till things cooled down a bit. Good looking out!

Possibly have my 1G sold.

your're going to sell it why wtf cheater :lol:

Delta Cams came in today! Motor will be here tomorrow

Block is ready to be put back together! Valve stem seals being put in tomorrow! Then to assemble the beast..

lol me too. picked up ^his balance shaft elimination kit tonight.

drove around. still no issues, just neeed to change a pulley and alternator belt. might just take it some where lol i DO NOT wanna do it.

LOL, well its a debate... but I might try and get a 2g awd if I can find one. I got a tonnnn of people interested in it, also a machinist, its kinda overwhelming at times. Cant keep track of whos who when they call lol:facepalm:

Names bro. Everyone has one for a reason. Lmao

In your hatch, you have channels by the weather stripping where water is suppose to flow. There are two drain holes there to drain water when it rains so it doesnt flow past the stripping. Most people don't notice them because they get clogged with dirt and leaves and then you don't even know they are there. Find them, clean them out the best you can and that should solve your problem.... Use compressed air and or pressure washer to push debre through if you can.

Well I dont mean names, but different people I been telling different amounts to due to situations they come at me with and try to help them out with a good deal.. but ya lol...so thats where im at..

Where can I get new weather stripping?

i did that before when i 1st took the rear panels out that shit was so dirty.

i'll look into it again when i don't work.

i have a nasty vibration in the front of my car. and i don't think it's all from my bad cv axel. also think it's definitly time to cut my rotors cause i put brand new ceramic bands on. and that also added to the vibration...


so tearing the car apart tomorrow to see what i can find...

Does it only vibrate when your braking or all the time?

before i changed the pads only when braking but only while braking over 28hundred rpm's in 5th gear (i don't have a speedo)
changed the pads and now starts a faint vibration around the same rshared_pm range, except in 4th gear..
also when at slow speeds (like at a crawl) i hear a nasty screech, like nails on a chalk board coming from my front passenger wheel..

Check your wheel bearing... jack the car up and grab the wheel firm and shake it from side to side like your trying to turn it. Then do the same from top to bottom. If there is play it needs to be replaced.

hmm.. i did that when i changed the pads. i think lol.

the front of the car was off the ground, and the car was parked in first.
i kinda just wiggled the rotor and turned it.turned maybe an inch or more in each direction. i thought it was strange since it was in gear but wasn't sure... could that possibly be the issue? i will also repeat tomorrow to make sure it has that freeplay.

i really appriciate the input BTW, thanks alot

also. would that explain the screeching i'm hearing?

and it doesn't just do it when i brake. if it starts doing it, it will remain the same reguardless if i brake or not..

yes it will screech and wine and the vibration will only get worse.

whell i'll start checking som prices and then double check the car tomorrow.

dumb question tho. is this gonna be a bitch to fix?

Not really, Just have to take the hub assembly apart. The bearing housing is held in by 4 bolts. Once you pull it out all you have to do is press the old bearing out and then the new one in. Might need a press, thats the only thing. I've carefully done it with a mallet and big socket but I don't suggest it.

being my first time i'll try to do it the right way.
i found a reese bearing kit at advance for 15 bucks. should hopefully hold me over..hopefully. thing that sucks is i have to go till next friday when i get paid. may have to walk a day or two and let the car sit. good thing i live close.

and thanks again for the info. i'm learning something new with this car everyday lol

No prob, DSM's turning normal people into mechanics since 89'

and i love every minute of it. just wish i could have some breaks. but i guess wheres the fun in that lol

Miguel speaks the truth! I'm still tryen to diagnose a brake problem, damnit

well i just got home from work and so i'm gonna eat and then go outside and try to find this problem! lol

finished painting engine bay...pics to come

think my wheel bearing is ok, but my rotors drastically need cut, an i think my tie rod is bad

Cut a piece of steel to make a base for my battery box... Damn Spyder with no mounting spots...

Got a new go fast part for the talon today, need some new tires and should be good.

O and fuck you to One....j/k :stickpke:

Almost ordered some go fast parts for the civic today, but my kids are more important. So I got them some clothes. I'll order my hoosiers next week.

o god :facepalm:
