IncorpoRatedX Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm going to be pulling the turbo 4G63 out in favor of a turbo diesel 4D55. I like the idea of near 40mpg. Quote Link to comment
IncorpoRatedX Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I started daily driving the diesel, has great AC and gets great MPG. I'll be swapping the engine out eventually for a 2.5 liter 4D56, i'll also be putting it on a 4x4 chassis im building right now with a lot of other odds and ends, but i'll update with photos of that and save everyone the boring tech stuff.Raised it up 2" (was lowered 4.5") and threw some kumho eco tires on it for all the MPG's!here's some engine bay pictures from when it was in my newly built garageI recently put a cap on it and named this phase of it's life 'Gramps' 2 Quote Link to comment

IncorpoRatedX Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I sold the wheels a few months ago. I've been trying to decide what axle, brake, and wheel set up im going to use, so until I sort that out I've got some 14" turbines. After the wheels went on I blacked out some trim and put the Galant badges on the fenders, then I took it out for a cruise with some locals and one of them took the last photo. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Back end is too high. Those rear rims/tires are outside the body. Get rims with same back space as the red goon in front or cut the metal.... you have flairs to hide this. Flairs go good with the hood color. Quote Link to comment
IncorpoRatedX Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 cant cut anymore metal out without chopping the door, so i'm reworking what i can to get it a little lower, but far more contributed to the rake, the front was too low and the difference in tire size front to rear accented it even more.

datzenmike Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Forgot the door. 510 goons and 4dr sedans are the same way. Amazing how the Mitsubishi silhouette looks like a 610/710. Sweet little car! What did the stock bumpers look like?? Park benches? Quote Link to comment

Yeah there's not many places for an oddball like mine to call home. :) Forgot the door. 510 goons and 4dr sedans are the same way. Amazing how the Mitsubishi silhouette looks like a 610/710. Sweet little car! What did the stock bumpers look like?? Park benches? The stock bumpers on the 73 were the slim bumpers like the slim datsun ones. After 73 they turned into the protectionism park benches that america made all the imports use. I've got some work planned, hopefully it keeps the rear doors functional. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sweet little car! What did the stock bumpers look like?? Park benches? Looked like this! There were small bumpers up to 74, 75 we had the solid chrome park benches (i.e. the red wagon), then 76+ came the chrome with rubber corner park benches. The big bumpers mount differently than the small bumpers. Quote Link to comment
Fire Arrow Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just thought I would pop in and introduce myself. I saw some Mitsu fans here and wanted to say hi. I'm actually looking for a car but it will likely be a beast to find one, so I expect to be looking around a few places and try to create a bit of a net to find what I am looking for. For anyone who is curious my first car was a 1979 Fire Arrow (a Plymouth in the US and a Dodge here in Canada). I've been looking at the photos and the information and realize I am a real rookie and likely will have to learn a lot to get this done but ... first loves right? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Worked with a kid who got a new one in '76 from his parents. He rolled it later that year. Haven't seen one in decades. Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Love you cars (and truck)! I think its great that you took a road a lot less travelled. Quote Link to comment
IncorpoRatedX Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks for the kind words. The wagon is on the back burner while I handle a lot of other work, over the years I've learned what keeps me motivated on a project car; it just has to stay running most of the time. As long as I can drive it occasionally, I keep my connection with it. I've been daily driving the wagon, it's fully operational, there's just a lot of changes I want to make. It's still running on the rushed swap I did on it years ago and I'd like to clean a lot of that up. I did manage to finish up some more of the all black interior. I need to paint some areas as well but the concept that I did any work at all on the car recently is satisfactory enough for me. Quote Link to comment
IncorpoRatedX Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I've decided to sell the car. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/5529732150.html Quote Link to comment
