gomer3G

thats a really clean 3G. on the matter of the red front bumper, i found a site that sells dealership colors in a spray can. its only $20 for the can and it will match the color. im going to buy a can in the next month or so. i have to fix my front end first. hit a pot hole last week and snapped my lower control arm.

all right, thanks. how well do the auto transmissions stand up to being beat on here and there.

how hard is it to do a manual swap on these, and on what other cars would there be a manual transmission that i could use from. also, where do you all get your aftermarket parts from. and where do you get that ram air hood.

dam. i was hoping it would be easy.

i know tires will be an issue. they have been flat since i first saw this car 7yrs ago. i dont know if they left fuel in it. i hope not. how hard is it to get to the fuel pump. is it like all other mitsubishis where it is under the rear passenger seats. wiring wont be a problem for me, i can do rewiring. if the fuel tank is rusted, where is a good place to look to get one.

i have the stock o2s in it and they all throw codes. i am waiting for my mechanic to get a new program system to remap and he is going to delete the need for the o2 sensors. i dont plan on any paint or body work for a while. i want to get my suspension first, then i will work on engine, i.e. 3.8l crank, 272 cams, lighter fly, and sport pulleys and gears. after i am satisfied with that then i will save up and re do the whole car to the original paint. i have a dent on the driver rear fender and a bunch of little dents and dings all along the fenders. the total cost for body work and paint for my car is just around $2,400.

thanks i appreciate the help.

my daily driver is a 03 eclipse gts with a 6g72 5spd. this is how she looked when i first bought her. http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/neweclipse007.jpg http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/IMGA0040.jpg i then installed megan racing headers and down pipe welded to a custom made exhaust system with a magnaflow high flow cat and muffler. http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/neweclipsepics004.jpg http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/neweclipsepics002.jpg i always try to keep my engine bay clean. http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/neweclipsepics001.jpg last year was not a good year for my car though. i was in two accidents and destroyed my front bumper. now i run with a red front bumper. http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/DSCN0598.jpg and i also picked up some used motegi racing 17x8 rims wrapped in 225/45r17. http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu242/gomer4g64/my%20car/DSCN0599.jpg

thanks for the advice guys. i am a big mitsu fan. i have owned 2 3g eclipses. my current car is a 03 eclipse gts with the 6g72. i fell in love with the starion when i saw it on cannonball run when i was a kid. i have been looking for one since i turned 18.

i am trying to buy a 87 conquest tsi. the car has been sitting for a long time. the shop owner said that the car was running when it was parked over 7 yrs ago. i have good mechanical skills so engine work wont be to much of a problem for me. also, the body is in great condition and the interior is ok. my plan is to see if the car starts. if the engine is seized, i am going to offer him $500 for the body, if it turns but wont start, then i am going to offer him $800, if it starts then im going to offer him $1000. do these amounts sound good.
