504/2000 Restoration project and 2 other VR4. Why do I love these cars!!

[bobdole]

G they are 0Z Racing Reps. Cant get the rear deal in 4 lug.

Update on shifter assembly rebuild. Made a massive improvement. No play at all. Replaced the pcs on the transmission too. Although the stock ones looked ok. Easy job though.

Base bushings wore out.

Got some new Nardi parts in. Steering wheel, VR6Eater shift boot and Shift knob. The shift knob sit to high with the stock shifter arm. I have a 1G unit coming. Should sit a lot lower.


Took the VR4 to another show. Japfest in UK. Had a great time.

Ok installed the 1G shifter today. Great improvement. No stretching of the shift boot. Great mod.

Did these same replacements on my F5M33 transmission mated in the Colt, and it does make a huge difference in taking up all those little bits of play. They really do add up across the whole system.
However, a Mitsu trans only really shifts well once the shafts and fluid are all properly warmed up. Nice to see the attention to detail there!

Went through every page of the thread, and i'm blown away by the restoration your car went thru!

Where did you outsource the oem parts thru the years?

I'm currently building one also, and looking for parts to make mine stand out above the rest

Cheers from the PH!

A face to the name!

Also the steering wheel and shift knob get me hard.

Thanks for the kind words. Parts are all through Mitsubishi dealers in US/UK/Japan. Look forward to seeing your VR4.

Do you live in England part of the year? Never imagined you with an accent. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[bobdole]

Mark live in England right now. Will be back state side soon. Do I sound English?

 

[turbowop]

Yeah, you have a bit of an accent. Did you not before?

 

[bobdole]

Mark no I didn't. Very interesting though. I have had a few people think I was Canadian.

 

[bobdole]

Took the VR4 to Japfest in the U.K. Great time had.
