Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Well, I got the engine in. Now I wait for more parts. Next I need to put on the flywheel and clutch assembly, but first I need flywheel bolts and the spacer plate for my aluminum flywheel so the bolts don't chew it up. I have a whole list of things I need but I'm not going to write a novel so here it is.

-Axle seals
-A/C delete spacer for axle bracket
-TOB clip
-Axle carrier bolts (to back of block)
-Stake nuts for transmission (still haven't torqued them to spec)
-Pressure plate bolts
-OEM throw out bearing
-Radiator and heater core hoses
-Transmission mounting bolts (because the shell I started with had some hardware store bullshit with wrong length bolts and washers, etc holding the trans on) :nope:


Once I get the trans in, I can run the harness. If everything on the harness reaches and doesn't need any wires lengthened I can start putting the rest of the car together. I do need to re-do the nasty solder job on the 2g maf connector on this harness from the laser partout, other than that it's pretty decent.

The biggest thing that sucks about building a car from basically a bare shell is tracking down all the correct nuts and bolts for everything. It is time consuming and really adds up in the long run cost wise. :violin:

That's easy, Ive got a bucket of nice clean bolts that I have saved at the shop. Come and pick out what you need!

I'm trying to stick to oem hardware where it matters, is it at least random mitsu stuff?

[b00sted_spyder]

Hyundai, Toyota, and Honda mainly. Most of them has the same thread pitch as Mitsubishi. The only Mitsubishi that we have is a galant and an outlander. The galant is a rusty POS while the outlander was already torn apart before I got there. I try to keep all of the rust-free clean metric bolts. I'm sure you can find quite a few bolts in the pile that will work. If you change your mind, let me know.

Don't forget about www.rockauto.com when it comes to the OEM-replacement stuff like TOB, axle seals, hoses, etc! A quick Google search will always yield a 5% discount code too.

Iam cleaning the garage and have lots of bolts from my dsms. Your welcome to have.

[goodhart]

Yea shit, that works! I'll hit you guys up when I'm in your respective areas. Hughes, I'm going rockauto with as much stuff as I can! I've found a lot of items are being discontinued though. :(

I have OEM flywheel bolts if you want them, maybe you can convince Brandon to pick them up on his way back to MN, he's going to drive right by my house.

Pretty sure I have some bolts lying around here too.
