93 Eagle Summit Wagon AWD project

[presterone]

Leon, my friend currently drives a 1g that you used to own. I was reminded how small the New England and DSM/mitsu community really is. The car is a black cherry laser that was formerly turquoise. He loves the absolute hell out of the car and it is one of the cleanest daily driven 1G's around here anyway, I mean there are possibly no 1G DSM's daily driven in maine.

We are going back about ten years ago, but I remember it! I bought it with only 50k miles! It needed a new tranny and was a quick "flip" job and the guy who bought it was going to school for autobody, so he used it as project car for his class. He changed the color to black cherry. Isn't he selling it?

Guys, I am considering unimaginable, switching my Summit to 5 lug, which has one major downsize: I would no-longer be able to use my beloved TE37 Volks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif But on a positive side, I will have a much better choice of wheels to pick from! I guess my question is what are these TE37 Volks worth? Two of them were slightly bent when I bought them, but I had them straightened, so now, all four are perfect.

What are the specs?

I also might be interested.

That is the first time I've ever seen a summit run a circle. I have to say, i loved it. Awesome man just awesome.

 

[Leon_R]

Thanks! Unfortunately, I need more rubber to make it more competitive, which is why I am considering switching to 5 lugs.

The Volks are 16X7, offset is around 40mm, but I am not sure.

Pretty cool.

I went to the track to test my FP Red, had the closest race against a C4 Corvette, ran a personal best of 11.65@ 121. Then an awesome race against a Camaro and finally lose a close loss to a monster Mustang. I was told that this was a 1000hp Mustang. Sure seemed fast!

What's all the smoke?

 

[Leon_R]

Blowby in #4 cylinder (as I just found out...). I took a gamble with a "junk yard motor" and it didn't pay off /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
