48516, typical, two broken mitsubishis at the same time
Posted by VX100, Sep-26-12 08:22 PM
The eclipse needs new motor mounts after my autocross adventure at the shootout (I have them, just haven't put them in yet),
and this weekend the Ralliart was leaking from the oil pan gasket, to quote the tech at the dealership leaking "badly" My turbo mitsubishi is behaving like a turbo mitsubishi :)
I didn't notice until just recently because I never park it in the same place and most of the oil just sits on the big plastic tray under the engine. Thank goodness for the warranty. Not like putting goo on an oil pan is tough to do but still that's what the warranty is for.
Ok so both were not down for the count, but still....

That is pretty crazy. Your Ralliart is still pretty new isn't it? I wouldn't have thought an oilpan gasket would fail that rapidly.

"Mitsubishi"
Exactly. Seems to be fine, no leaks so far. Just have to get the idiots who visit the apartment to stop putting dings in my doors x(
Eclipse is at 100% now, except for a vibrating heat shield and some so-so hatch struts (there is always something) Motor mount was fine actually but I put the inserts in anyway.
Here is some advice from a dumb eclipse owner: check your lug nuts. That was what the real problem was. Lucky the wheel didn't fall off during the 600 mile ride home.

Lug nuts, tire pressure, oil. Three of the simplest things to check, but often overlooked. :P

I may have witnessed that several years ago somewhere on the NY throughway...
Also, whats up? I haven't posted here in a long time. Just finished up my BS in Electrical Engineering this semester.
