freetoskate124 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Good winter beater. If I didn't have my money tied up in the Quest and school, I would get one to daily, given I could get it to run reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yes. You need that...NOW. Even if it's broken you can part it out for twice what you paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred_85.5_TSI Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 going to look at it tonight, any problems I should look for other than the normal things for a car that age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kougar Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 going to look at it tonight, any problems I should look for other than the normal things for a car that age? I've had 4 of these cars. Odds are the tranny is pretty worn out. I haven't followed that link, so unless he specifically mentions that it shifts great, you will have problems with it. Make sure all 4 axles are good - granted they aren't that hard or expensive to replace . The rear end may be worn depending on if it's a 3 bolt of 4 bolt. 4 bolt is what you'd want. Other than that, it's basically your run of the mill old mitsubishi turbo car. Check shaft play, oil leakage, vacuum leaks, etc. Engine itself is probably still great...hard to break a stock 4g63.

dmyers151 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Umm...if its AWD, check the rear diff. for leakage. Axles clicking, any odd engine noises. I mean, for $900 its absolutely not gonna be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred_85.5_TSI Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 ok, the car is awesome! it is stupid clean mechanically, all stock, no leaks. the interior looks like the engine bay as far as clean, and nice condition. theres a little rust, but nothing I can't handle. might be getting it friday, the guy had two other people looking at it tonight and friday morning, hopefully they are tire kickers so now it's a waiting game.....

FijiPhil Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Man thats nice! I really regret passing on a 91 AWD talon. It was 500 bucks and ran and drove, but overheated. rust free though and straight.. but it needed a lot of work. More than i was really wanting to deal with at the time. i should have just bought it and held onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I hate you I've been looking for one in the SE but they're ridiculously hard to find for under $2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspecgallant Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Only 2nd gen DSM's / 95-96-and some 97's 4g63 engines are know for crank walk, it was mainly due to keeping cost down. Nice find, I miss mine so much - is it a fwd ( stock non turbo wheels on 91-93 talons ) or is it a awdBut check the following first on it. 1.Timming belt and balance shaft belt - both belts are the kiss of death on the 4g63 motors timming belt tensioner also kiss of death on this car.2.mainly grinding on the 2nd or 3rd gear - syncro's - try changing the trans fluid with red line or GM sycromesh might fix the grinding if it has it.3.check the ECU - look at the caps and see if they are leaking - but can be fixed also for cheap - and see if it is a eprom chipped ecu - worth more than your standard ecu and can be rechipped.4. If it is hunting for idle more likely cause is your ISC motor on this car - make sure you get that changed or will burn up your ecu.5. common mitsu cracks on the exhuast manifold. 6. lifter tap - fix is 93 Montero lifters But best of all you can get a 4g63 from the stock 195hp to about 250 - 300 hp from free mods to almost next to nothing. good luck on the purchase and nice find.
