Import Wars 2008 (New England Dragway ) was awesome. I met up with a bunch of other 3SI members for a full day of fun. I took 2 trophies! One tropy was at Import Wars (2nd Place Best Mitsubishi Show) and the other was at the post-Import Wars show at a local Scion/Toyota dealer, where I took 1st Place Best Mitsubishi Show. The funny part is that the dealership advertised the post show all during Import Wars , so every car that attended Import Wars attended the post-show.

I decided to change the audio setup in the VR4. The main reasons were to reduce the weight of the current Subwoofer box and to make room for a NOS bottle in the trunk, yea NOS is my next project.

The new subwoofer box is made from a member over at 3SI.org (whom doesnt make them anymore). It holds 2 10" subwoofers. I picked up some Boston Aucustics G5's subs (Dual voice). I relocated the PC and one of the Amps.

Long story short.....at least I'll try to make it short.

Yesterday morning (Saturday 5/31/08) I took apart my throttle body (million pieces it seemed) to replace the shaft seals. Aparently the 3S's TB's always leak with stock seals, causing boost leaks. Mine were leaking a bit, so I replaced them. Took me a couple hours to get most of it done, but didnt have any silicon dielectirc grease for the new seals, so bought some. I got the TB about 75% complete before I gave up for the night, about 11pm.

I got inside the house and was just browsing the web and found a ca Read More »
