I give up. After replacing this rebuilding that. Buying a 85 parts car with no motor to fix my 83. Spending 2 weeks doing mods and making other "drivable" fixes. I took her to get gas. A man at the pump next to me say he hasent seen one of those in ages. I tell him Im bringing it back to life, then I get in and start it up. He comments on how great its running, I wave and take off. I get 20 feet from the shop I work at and stop at the stop sign. Then it dies. ??????? OK. Start it back up and take off into the shop driveway. It dies again????? WTF. I had as hard time starting again. When It finally did start, nothing but Blue smoke, wouldnt rev, BIG BACKFIRES. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOTTTTTT. I really loved this car. (Past tense)
I noticed after cranking and cranking it cleared out and idled normal, UNTILL the oil pressure went up. Then it died. I could keep it running with short blips of the pedal. But I was choking the whole street. So now what? Im done. The whole reason to fix this car was to get rid of the Eclipse. Now it will cost more to fix the 7 than it will to put a piston in the Mitsu. So back to the turbo hiss I go. Anybody want parts? Just get me my 200 I have in it and Ill be happy.


I know the motor was replaced 50000 miles ago by Rotary Performance. I guess sitting for 5 years ate the seals?

 

sounds kinda like bearing lock-up, have good/any oil pressure?

 

Need a shift ****

Ya a shift **** to go with the 69 VolksWagon radiator.

 

i got one of those rad's, pm me.

 

Do you have the heater core to go with it?

 

well man that sucks. Sorry to hear it

 

It just needs oil O rings and a gasket set. Maybe apex seals. Keep the stock shift ****. I mean c'mon, it ain't that ugly.
