Car's Given Name: Tulita "the b17ch" "the sleeper" (Hey! it's a PLYMOUTH!) Etymology, Contraction/merge of "Two Liter" 1992 Plymouth Laser RS No, it has nothing to do with the Chrysler or Dodge Laser, it's half Mitsubishi! Black 2.0L 4G63 Mitsubishi Engine, 7.8:1 CR 6-Bolt motor Stock turbocharger TD05H-14B, 11 PSI boost 5 speed manual transmission Factory Stock Side Mount Intercooler AM/FM/Cassette/Equalizer/CD input Automatic shoulder belts All Wheel Drive / limited slip center differential 4-bolt, Limited Slip Rear Differential Factory rear air spoiler Kumho ECSTA 712 205/55ZR16 Road Tires AR Alloy wheels Air Conditioning - retrofited to R134a Power Windows Power Door Locks Factory removeable/tilt-up moonroof Fog lights 98000 miles Jeeps are for off-road and hauling stuff. DSM is for on-road driving and hauling @$$. Since I don't race, I don't know how fast it goes, but it should be getting 15@90 or something for 1/4 mile. Likely I'll never test it for real. |
Repairs: - Replaced rear hatch struts (yay it holds up now! :) Note: partially removing the back panels will make it a lot easier. Having a second person to help makes things go smoother. The bottom two bolts are the hardest thing to get off/on. - Replaced front brake pads with ceramic dustless pads - Fixed cigarette lighter, temperature sensor, power steering sensor Pending: - Fix motor oil leak - Needs AC schrader valve for high pressure side. - Needs to be cleaned inside - Determine boost problems (phantom knock???!!!) Using the ECUView to watch the knock. - Rear brake pads are squeaking occasionally on reverse (pads look ok?) - Fuel filter replacement - Fix exhaust leak someday - fix the booboo I did on the fender :( "Ouch! That DID HURT!" Wants: - Talon rear end :) Hmm.. maybe I should have gotten an Eagle Talon? - Maybe I should just leave it stock, nice for it to look like anything - Accurate boost gauge, boost controller - Front Mount Intercooler (Ok, it'll be a functional rice mod :) - New ACT2100 or CFDF clutch - 2.5" or 3" exhaust - remove stock turbo/intercooler stickers =D (at least they are currently hard to see) |
