Greetings!

[SA22C]

I sorta started out the same way but opposite. I got a truck first which led me to the car (then another, and another truck and another....). your "turd heap" sure cleaned up nicely i must say!

I loved that Conquest but I was constantly worried about something going wrong with it so I couldn't really enjoy it when Id drive it. Im on Starquestclub.com under the same username as here. I tried selling it there first but nobody was interested.

I guess "turd heap" isnt really accurate... The truck was absolutely filthy. The interior was covered in grime, grease, and what can only be described as human "funk". A weird dirt/oil/sweat mixture that was on everything youd touch. Plus... About 3 lbs of dog food and another 3 lbs of dog hair. It was... BAD. It smoked like a train because the oil was changed twice in its lifetime and the valve stem seals were as hard as granite. Had a lot of top-end noise and several oil leaks. Clutch had never been adjusted, coolant looked terrible... Just lots of stuff like that.

Hi and welcome to mightyram. Mitsubishis are pretty hard to kill - except in the hands of the ghetto rigger. I really don't know why the very basic wiring needs to be hatchetted to fix an electrical fault but it happens a lot. Same goes for regular servicing (an oil flush and change once ina while goes a long way). It sounds like the Conquest had to go so you could move onto the Max you've always wanted. When you figure out how to post up pics, add them to your thread (keeps the voyeurs happy ) You have a bigger plan for your truck?

The PO had butchered the wiring in an effort to trouble shoot the non-firing injectors I am guessing. Cutting and cutting probably stemmed from not being able to locate the problem and further down the rabit hole he went... Would have helped if he'd looked for the injector-resistor pack (which was gone) and tested the igniter(which was bad). hahaha!

The seat retrofit looks really good - where did you source the seats from? Those rims are enormous! I think the wheels will look good in a metallic charcoal colour. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! I am proud of that stupid seat. It was a giant pain in the rear but totally worth it. It came out of a 2010 Hyundai or Kia. I cant remember the model. I had to make a new frame for it. I retained the adjustability of sliding forward and back as well as the backs being adjustable. So much more comfortable than that damn bench seat and it has am armrest/cup holder. Truth be told, having an arm rest was my motivation to change the seat.

Funny you mention that color for the wheels.. I actually have a color called "cast iron". Looks just like it sounds... raw cast iron. Its a dark steel color. Thinking about adding just a touch of pearl for depth and glow.
