Welcome to Tarmac & Gravel

After attending the Prescott Rally in 2005, I knew I had to build a rally car. Being a dedicated DSMer, I knew I had to build a Mitsubishi. I bought 1991 Galant VR4 195/2000. But then I thought, these cars are far too rare and way too sweet for me to build one up just to stuff it in a ditch somewhere near the border, so at the Prescott Rally in 2008, I lucked out and found 1992 Galant VR4 464/1000.

This site is dedicated to [464] Tarmac & [195] Gravel. One to stay clean. One to press on regardless.

Today was another day spent working on 1082/2000. I finally got the car running yesterday, but it was suffering from a misfire and was leaking fuel from a couple of the injectors. My first stop this morning was Bell Road Mitsubishi to pick up a set of new seals for the injectors. I could have picked up a kit at Autozone or something, but when it comes to something that keeps your car from catching fire, I don’t mind shelling out for OEM quality and fitment. Karma came correct, however, and they set me back a mere $12. Read the rest of this entry »
