Are 1G and 2G valve cover gaskets identical? Sticking to OEM to reduce the variables, part numbers for the perimeter and wells (1G, MD125939 & MD125940) and (2G, MD186784 & MD186785). So are they different in dimensions, material formulation, or did they just revise part numbers with the models...

I have a question about calculating (or anticipating) piston/valve clearance issues. While waiting for my short block build, I picked up a set of 264/272 cams, and a built head with 2mm oversize valves. I wasn't looking for bigger valves, but as I was ready to buy parts for rebuilding my...

Need a good oil pickup tube/screen, p/n MD113024 shipped to 20871

Great seller, packed my parts up better than rare art!!! Well, actually, the parts are rare...art Plus, he spent hours telling me about needs building out a new short block. Awesome! Thanks

Why do the ACT discs lose springs anyway? If they fixed the "issue", what did they change? Is there a serial number range that identifies the vulnerable discs? What other sprung disc, compatible with the 2600 plate never loses them? I put this in a couple years ago. Maybe 10K +/- since then...

MD327394 Finding this number in several places ( example ) as applicable to our engines. These are aftermarket brands, but what Mitsu car(s) does this OEM number belong to? **Edit** Looking some more, I found a notice stating it replaces our old number, at least for the EVO 8/9's. LOOK...

Great seller! Bought a condenser fan blade. He shipped it immediately, and actually before I got the paypal posted. Can't get no better than that! Thanks Man!

MIR's biggest turnout every year. Last year they estimated 40,000 people but probably a few less. The 400+ car field has been locked for months. Must have been 20+ cars running 13Bs, floated in from the Caribbean. Great event to spectate, but you better be early. Arrive after say, 10 am and...

On the front brace, is any particular bolt needed for the front bolt position on this? The position isn't used for the stock strut.

Left rear. The damage is on the inside edge. Only thing i can think of is something getting wedged in there for a few seconds at speed. Not likely, but I did have a caliper sticking on this wheel...that's when I discovered the tire issue.

Can I use one of the other unused ports? The plug in the port I was going to use would not come out. Tried a little heat, liquid wrench, etc. Hoping not to have to remove the housing. BTW, this is for FPgreen with journal bearing, and still have the balance shafts in.This is what I tried to...

Need a good condenser fan. THIS ONE, mounts on the driver's side in front of the condenser. Really only need the plastic blade, assuming it is removable. But I'll take the whole assembly if you're within an hour or so of the D.C. metro area. Shoot me pm here or email: [email protected]

Shipped price (20871) for a pair of straight, rust-free splash shields. I believe the correct P/Ns are: MB587450 (L) and MB587451 (R) Thanks!

Looking for a known-good transmission. I think it is a 2G style but not sure. Let me know what you have with $ shipped to 20871. Thanks, Mike

Last night I turned the left blinker on and the headlights go out. Same with the right turn. Anyone know what piece in the combo switch is actually broken? I looked around and the parts houses want takusan okane for the assembly.

My car just barely failed MD emissions. I do have a cat on the car. So I go looking and see the EGR valve is disconnected. Thinking I would hook that up in hopes of re-burning some of the unburned fuel. But I have a couple issues. I looked all over here and all over the web. 1. The sticker on...

How to remove these 20+ year old pieces without breaking them?Locked a Dollar Tree putty knife in the vise and broke a couple inches off the end, basically halfing its length. Locked the stubby in the vise and gently bent into an arc shape. Then sliced a V-groove in the leading edge like a...

Found this and was wondering if it is the matching under-the-hood piece for the vents I see people putting on our cars.

Edited this down some.... I'm having a trans issue and would appreciate input/recommendations. Its a GVR4 trans in a 1g. Is supposed to be a Shep trans. I've been having some dialogue with them (Shep Transmission) and it seems like they're not interested in rebuilding it...too busy. I was...

Bought a FMIC from Mike a few weeks ago. Quick replies to emails, good description and pricing, even met me halfway to save me some time. Nice doing business the way it should be done. Good Guy.

Left front GVR4 specific steering knuckle with a good bearing. Read somewhere here the bad bearing was stress cracking the hub and/or knuckle, so I need something clean, smooth and quiet that I can use to rebuild. Also, if anyone has a set already rebuilt, new bearings & seals installed, etc...

Just heard about these this morning. Anyone going? Meet Mid Atlantic Mega MeetVideo from last year's meet . Wonder if they'll let me in with an old green galant :-O = = = = = Sheesh...and there's some kind of car show at king mitsubishi (11 - 4) in Rockville today too...I'm hitting...

Replaced my clutch two years ago due to leaking rear main seal. I replaced the seal and installed a centerforce dual friction setup. About 4 months ago it started slipping. Been driving it but taking it easy, mostly. Finally got around to pulling the trans today. The rear seal looks to be dry...

Gave this to my mom a couple years ago and she crashed it. Whole car for $400 but you gotta let me know asap. She's in an apartment and has to get it out of there soonest. Sunday I'm stripping what I can get in a couple hours...wheels, lights, some interior and under the hood stuff. Pics were...

Bought a custom IC here and while the hard pipes are very nice, the IC blew a leak when I started jacking the pressure up around 18 lbs. Got it welded and now I think I have another leak because it's starting to behave like it did before. Is 18-20 psi considered high for most ICs, or do you...

This thing has gotten bigger every year. Event Page Track Link

Moderately accelerating in 2nd or 3rd and I can hear air, ssshhhhhh, increasing louder and louder as boost climbs. The sound starts at about 7-8 psi and is preventing me from boosting above 15 psi or so. Checked the entire circuit except right at the turbo outlet, the bov, and the intake...

Is this a crank seal leak? Clutch was starting to slip under heavy load. Just pulled the trans tonight. Here's a few pics... Good bit of oily substance under the flywheelFlywheel with some nice cracks. Can these be milled out?Pressure plate and disk had a film of grease/oil on the inner half...

Bought a set of used FIC 650s from a member here but I can't figure out which seals to buy. One of them has "EVO" scribbed on the side. The new ones are a little longer than stock, but several places sell seal sets that they "say" are used for both. I test fit them using the stock seals, but the...

Looks like the frame that goes around the driver's side window has a broken weld where it joins the rest of the door...just to the left of the doorlock button. What's the best way to repair this? It looks like a weld but not sure. The result is that the top rear part of the frame doesnt seal at...

**SOLD** Thought this would be a cool car for my daughter, and a good deal at $1000, but within a week after I bought it, it started leaking oil, water, and smoking. I'm convinced the PO knew the motor was on it's last leg. I should have paid more attention. :-O Anyway, I put brand new tires...

I bought all the stuff for setting up my car with 650s, an EVO MAS, SAFC II. I was planning on buying a chip from keydiver to run it. But now I've decided to go with DSM Link instead. Is there any reason to keep the SAFC? And, should I keep the EVO MAS? (actually it's the other MAS off the mitsu...

Just installed hard piping and noticed the piping doesn't have the vacuum fittings at the turbo outlet and at the BOV like the stock pipes do. What vacuum setup do I need to use. Before the piping was installed the vacuum routing was stock, and I don't have a manual boost controller installed...

Been hunting this for a while...Dalan 217326. GVR4/GGSX specific. Seems Dalan was bought out and the new Co. doesn't make it anymore. Last fall I had a hitch vendor contact Dalan and they said they would fabricate one with a 4-6 week lead time. I was too busy and never got around to having it...

Bought a few small parts and sent him payment Wednesday. Received my package on Friday. It don't get no better than that! Thanks!

Smooth and prompt transaction...just as it should be. Thanks

The guy I bought my car from gave me a magazine that had a one-page article about the VR4 in it - Sportscar International, September 2004. I don't have a scanner but I took a picture of it with my camera so you guys could read it. The drawing is pretty nice too. Enjoy.

No Bull! He must have shipped the same day because the part was in my mailbox in just 2 or 3 days - BEFORE I had even sent my payment. He definitely belongs on this list. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Searched for a previous GoodGuy post for spooling92vr4 but I couldn't find one...so I made my own. Chris and his brother (who made the 5-6 hour trip with him) were both great guys, who also happen to be Mitsubishi and DSM fans with a ton of technical knowledge in their heads. Even after the long...

I want to put this brand new, never installed trans in my car: BUT, its for a Mitsu Expo, number W5M33-2 NNXL. It was used in the 93 and later Expo (and Eagle Summit and Colt Vista). The 92 Expo had a different submodel (NNXZ) that was the same except for first gear (column K in table...

I need the mounting bolts/washers/nuts (pivot, tensioner, etc). I can get all except the tensioner nut (MD133152) from a local jobber. Havent tried a dealer yet...figured I'd help some of you folks clean house. I know someone has these spares in a box left over from a jdm or other motor swap...

Bought carrier bearing and cd/cass deck. He shipped right away and used lots of bubble wrap Thanks.

Maybe just a complete parts list with PN's but, something WITH part numbers so I can compare parts from different versions of these trannys, e.g., 2-NQBM with 2-NPXV and 2-NNXL. The interest is "interchange"...I want to know what part numbers are directly interchangeable and exactly what is...

Just bought #1601 from him on Sunday. I took the train from DC to NYC and met him outside the Garden. He spent an hour explaining everything he could remember about the car and (IMPORTANT), he let me use his plates to drive it back to MD. That saved me from a HUGE hassle trying to get it home...
