Re: 1981 sapporo "scorpion" g54bt manual trans conversion.
well, gear set is back in and everything seemed to check out. I'm now rocking a set of 3.90 gears. Interesting enough the gearset in my old diff was 3.307 which I have never even seen mitsubishi use. I'm going to try and save that gearset. Tomorrow I'll swing by the dmv and get the car licensed then...

Re: 1981 sapporo "scorpion" g54bt manual trans conversion.
not sure on the exact color, but teh guy said it was from a early 90s chrysler. So I figure If you look through a paint book, you could probably find it. It wasnt factory, some guy had this paint and some ugly honda gold and made it a 2 tone.

A few pics of the car when I first picked it up this last spring. Been sitting for 10 years. Mice had infested it at one time, water had been sitting in the interior as well. Quite a bit of work ahead of me. Had a g54b auto in it. http://www.nwstarquest.com/project-sapporo/sapporo-02.jpg http://www....

Re: Seat choice
I took some 88 starion seats and threw them in a while back. They didnt fit too well, Mainly they were quite wide. I will be trying some 88 cordia seats here as soon as I get a gearset in the scorp so I can get it out of the garage.

Re: Shaving the head for more compression on a 4g32b
no one has anythign to say? Talking with charlie the workshop manual on a chain driven engine calls for 1mm off the head and 1mm off the block. I did some measuring and I thikn I will try .040" 1mm off the head and 30 off the block to avoid having to machine the pistonss.

sidedrafts would make more power than a stock efi setup I think considering they flow quite a bit better, Fuel economy, tuning, and the price would be more though.
