Hi all - My Intro

Post by rock_it »

Well just thought I would drop by and introduce myself .. I have had friends that owned FTO's and I was always keen for one...

Anyway, I am not new to the Mitsubishi Culture .. I have owned a Hyundai for many years (one of the generation Sonata's that was designed by Mitsubishi), and now am the proud owner of a GSR lancer that is having all of its parts replaced with Evo III parts...

My Hyundai was powered by the 4G63t engine, which is now back home in the Lancer... I had the Hyundai putting out 238.1kw @ the wheels, and had her as a sleeper....

Here are a couple of pics...

The Lancer is looking like this at the moment...

While the lancer is being built, I am getting around in a 91 Toyota Cressida Grande, which is a nice car, but I am a little over it. I am trying to sell it at the moment, and looking at spending around 8k trying to see what I can get... By the looks of things, I am going to have to save a bit more if I want an FTO ... But yeah, I will prolly hang around the forums and see what comes up ...

Hehehe ... Thanks mate...

The new manifold has 2x48mm pro grates and has had the heat wrap treatment ...

The reason we are trying 2 external gates, it to see if the engine will be stable at the lower boost range ... And if she will perform a little better at the higher end of the scale... All trial and error I guess...
