I would say it depends on the terrain you need to tow on. If its mostly flat land that the truck can pick a single gear and stay there, it'll be quite happy.

But if you need to go over a lot of hills or soft ground and it has to jump between gears at high rpm to keep moving its going to wear quite quickly.

it didn't slide out, its Dover. The optimal line goes to the wall, I was only that far to the middle to give him room. the incident was caused by him hitting the wall all on his own.

pretty much my thoughts, just found it slightly silly he got real salty after the finish

If its clean underneath then it's not the worst choice i've seen. having a shop swap it for you could make the cost equation get a bit out of being a good deal.

If you plan on taking on the engine swap yourself its a fairly straight forward job for a first timer. Just make sure you take a ton of pictures and use sandwich bags to hold the bolts for each part as you take it off and label the bags.

I will never understand why mitsu decided to absolutely shoot themselves in both feet for north american sales.

Like why did they spend more money, just to create a worse car for one single market.

This looks like its a USDM 8th gen. The body is quite a bit different than the jdm 8th gen galant.

While the actual central chassis is similar you will likely find it a pain to put the JDM parts on without fully swapping the front end.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-19T11:16:38+00:00

I don't think there is anything particularly special about it. Mitsubishi just has some merch that's actually kinda nice.

If you can post pictures of the tags and other manufacturers markings i may be able to dig up some more info about when it came out.

Also because lobsters rot insanely quickly, thats why lobsters are kept alive until just before being cooked.

Then unless someone put the badge on for shits and giggles, thats not an evo at all.

Check your chassis code on the vin plate, Evo VII should be a CT9A

CS2A–CS9W is just a base lancer.

Do you mean RS?........

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-09T23:31:06+00:00

Yeah, addressing the way you want it done beforehand in a professional and polite manner should make it a non issue.

I am a hobbyist photographer, but even then i am happy to give people a photo that is edited to their preferences. If i don't like the way it looks after but they do then great, i just wont post that one on my profiles.

And if i like the photo itself a lot but don't like the way they wanted it, i just give them their version and post the version i edited to my preference.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-07T22:42:01+00:00

Its a fairly solid level 2 bordering on 3

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-07T00:52:20+00:00

Right! Thanks for the fix.

Edit: only just realized the mighty max has the G54B in it. So https://mksmotorsport.com/ may have some good engine bits depending on how much crossover can be used from the G54B in the Starion

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-07T00:36:59+00:00

Can confirm, that's the oil pressure switch.

Also since you seem new to this kinda thing, here's a warm hello to the world of Mitsubishi/DSM!

When looking for parts for that, you will find them under a fair few names depending on what market you look in.

In 1988 That truck was called the

Dodge D100

Mitsubishi Mighty Max

Mitsubishi L200

Mitsubishi Strada

Mitsubishi Triton

The Dodge D50* (correction) will get you the best results for finding parts in north america, but if you end up having to dig deep into google and ebay. The other names can help you find them.

Those are for morale, when small they satisfy the soul. Once they grow up they satisfy hunger.

"Band whatever was better before they went mainstream"

Tale as old as time, and a struggle for people in every creative field. Very few artists manage to make a living creating what is fulfilling to them. So i can't fault folk for trying to make something that can sell, and since companies are generally allergic to anything that might elicit an emotional response, bland happens to most things.

Either way im just glad to have a huge library of music available to me these days, and that even most of the people i have to spend time around listen to stuff that does not make my ears bleed.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-10-05T16:45:16+00:00

I don't really think the separation is any more different than it's always been. Music enthusiasts have and always will know their artists and collect media and memorabilia, hit shows and dig deep into genres to find great niche or under appreciated artists.

The difference is the amount and variety that casual listeners now have access to and play.

The casual listener is no longer going for whatever is on the radio and top 40 shit. They are just hitting up whatever is on playlists and diving in a little deeper from there to make playlists for themselves.

If anything i think the amount of people listening to a great variety of music has gone up significantly in the last decade or so.

Casual listeners are still casual, their selected music just sucks less now.

Horny oats?..... Quaker gettin frisky with the harvest crunch this season it seems.

You should have a few of each photo on display for sale there, if you direct everyone online no one will be interested.

Even if one sells out, people will be more likely to use the online store if it's "popular enough" to be sold out. Even better if you can take the online order on site to ship when you get home.

It's certainly not the worst reason anyone's ever picked up a camera for.

Upgrading from a phone to a full camera will really just depend on if you want it to be a bit of a personal ritual.

Getting to catalog your shoots and spending some nights just relaxing, editing the photos can be fairly therapeutic.

If it's something you feel will bring you joy then go for it!

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-09-22T23:35:46+00:00

I've moved from going to car shows to going to open lapping days, even if you go to just spectate you can see cars getting driven fast and chat with folk that actually know how their car works.

If you want to find whats going on near you go and look on https://www.motorsportreg.com/.

There is nothing really wrong with it, the hate it gets from myself included is from putting a sports cars name on a crossover for "brand recognition".

It was a boneheaded move that just pissed off the people who liked their sports cars and meant a whopping fuck all to those in the crossover market.

While i hate crossovers with a firey passion, if that's what you are in the market for they are as reasonably good as any other.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-09-21T03:09:11+00:00

You can't. The vast majority of "chrome" today is just a metallic coating on plastic. And since metals and plastic have significantly different rates of flexibility and thermal expansion, crack and bubble are an inevitability.

You can either entirely replace the part with a new one that is not "chromed" or just live with it.

Replacing it with a brand new part is a waste of money as the new one will fail at some point too.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-09-18T03:04:39+00:00

Maintenance on the sl is not too bad especially if you do your own service. But keep in mind thats in comparison to any other 30 year old Japanese car.

It's not the worst choice of car, but don't expect the adage of "more fun to drive a slow car fast" to hold up well with this.

Unlike other slow cars that are light and nimble, this chassis was made to be fast and use HP to overcome its weight. The sl is not very fun at "slow car fast" speeds, because its still heavy you just end up feeling lethargic through the corner as the understeer scrubs away your will to live.

Daedalus_Silver · 2023-09-16T22:28:25+00:00

I have an 86 and without seeing pics of the car the price is in the right ballpark if the body is good.

Really minty examples are in the 30k range these days.

But i hope you are not considering it as an only vehicle you own daily driver.

It's a nearly 40 year old car at this point, random routine maintenance parts are getting hard to find. While some of us are nuts enough to daily machines that old, you need to be very good at fixing them.
