Bob,
I think you should get methanol injection. Your car will be like and then she will be like .

 

haha...I gotta get the clutch/trans straight. Running outta 4th already sux..that will only make it worse! hahaha

 

that built trans is AWEsome.. specially on highway races....

 

I used the castrol syntorq, mil.spec was nice enough to send me another batch, thinking the first didn't mix well with the oem fluid. I let it drain for a while, he thought maybe it wasn't enough.

I was reading a recent post on amsoil. I may go that route with the new trans/clutch. I'll probably always run oem in the t-case though.

 

anyone know/have the mitsu service manual? Or even a chiltons? When the trans/clutch comes out, i'm gonna rip off the head, do the timing belt, springs/ret, and headstuds.

I'm having a crappy time trying to find a good one online. I guess ebay for a service manual right?

 

i can send you a DVD with all the info i have.... it is basically an engine and car breakdown.

 

cool.

Well, just found out some not so good news. I was un-aware that you can't rebuild the 6 speed. I talked to shep trans, and basically I have to do a 5 speed conversion. And since they can't use the 6 speed core it's pushing $4k!!! Umm I'm thinking the track isn't that important anymore.I really don't want to ditch the 5 speed. I bought the MR for that reason. He said I'd prob. like it better after the rebuild/conversion but it's a little crazy for me. I have to modify trans mounts, shifter cables, all the stuff in the center console. blahhhhhh

 

^^ no no no num nuts...

if u decide to do that i will give you my old trans to send off the get re-built... that way u can kep ur 6 speed...

cause SORRY TO SAY IT BUT THAT 6SPD IS A PIECE OF JUNK...and when you break it then my friend you are lookin at big big big bucks

 

I was going to start looking around for a 5 speed core in a junkyard. That would be sweet if you have a core. The "adapter" kit is around $400 from shep. It kinda stinks switching an MR over to a 5 speed just to take to the track.

 

unless you are plannin on road coursing... then who cares. You can also have them stick in that 5th gear cruising gear so you will have your "6th" back.

did you talk to buschur and/or TRE ?

 

^^ i know somebody builds the 6spd's..
either or.. dude a built 5 speed really is that great... i wouldnt mind letting you get my core to get re-built...

 

I called shep trans. I'd like to find someone that does the 6 speed. I just want that damn evo 8 4th gear!

Well, if you know who does the 6 speeds, let me know. I'll deff explore that as an option. Otherwise, I'll have to decide wether or not to go the 5 speed route. I'm just thinking long term, in that getting rid of an MR with a 5 speed speaks shadiness! lol

 

ok so i know i asked this in the fayetteville thread but do we have any corner carvers in j-ville or onslow county ? seriously im lookin for some guys to cruise with and hunt down twisties when i get back from afghanistan in feb. n e one down or is everyone here big turbo/power/drag guys? **** i dont care if yall big turbo guys wanna go would be fun to see what that lag does on the twisties no offence. and im plannin a trip to "tail of the dragon" in aug. or sept. of next year so if ur interested pm me

 

I'm always willing to drag out the 2 wheeled monster for the corners! ;-)

 

Just called buschur, no go on re-building a 6 speed. TRE doesn't advertise any upgrade other than a performance rebuild. shazbot...i'm in a catch 22
