Dude, thanks a bunch for pointing me that way, i went to rockauto.com before but they didnt have it by part number, so i actually went through and searched for it after you mentioned it, and yea i got the auto tensioner for $60 shipped. thanks bro. ill be changing out the the auto tensioner, water pump, and the timing belt kit.

Me too when ever I get my custom cam

 

Any auto tensioner will fit from the 4g69's right? I got a brand new one on ebay for $50 shipped.

 

show me where from, and ill let you know if its the right one, i think we use the evo 8 one iirc

heres the part number: timing auto tensioner MR984375

 

Hopefully you can see it, I got it on ebay so the auction ended but I think you can still see it.

yea thats the right one, has the oem part number in the description. i usually would have gone this route but i know rockauto.com or mitsubishi-parts.net are straight legit oem parts. let me know it this one works out and ill go this route next time.

lol god now your making me doubt it haha

 

lol dont sweat it bro, it looks like a good piece, i just go with who i know is legit, and that gives me better peace of mind. i only paid $10 more then you but i know for sure it the right part.

lol i looked at rockauto, but i saw the 2 for $90 and $100 and i thought that was expensive, and i just looked now and saw the one for $54, i dont think it could be that bad lol, looks like steel and has the right part # lol. i just hope it doesnt fail

 

should be alright bro, even if it was a ****ty copy of one, i dont think it would look like that or even have the correct part number. youll be fine.

anytime...i did the same thing..looked around...then looked around some mroe...then again....and then found it cheaper there so i ordered it

 

UPPDATE: got me a PnP intake mani and head coming to me, possible internals, and gotta get a gt eclipse TB on the way too. may look into the thermal gaskets from RPW. will be a nice build if everything comes together. the re flash will be some extra ummph when that gets going too.

Nice bro! Man be sure to keep me up to date with your progress. Lol send me pics through email while down range.

 

word, which email? send it to me in a pm.

 

so my header and dp came in today, and i have to say HOLY CRAP THEY LOOK NICE!!! i got them from a guy on the forums for $180 shipped. had surface rust, and you could tell it was on the guy's car for two years...

i sent the set over to performancecoatings.com, they hooked me up and media blasted my setup clean, and then re-coated them in a nice ceramic "satin grey ice". a nice rich, dark grey with a hint of metallic flake. ill post pics here soon. will be nice to install these on the car. just gotta order a high flow cat, and make me a cel eliminator. but i may wait for the PnP head and intake mani come in and just do everything all at once.
