Another hello

Hi folks, I just wanted to say hi as someone from CarDomain pointed me to this site by the name of FightRiceDotCom.
Nice site btw. It's good to see a bunch of different cars who don't put crap on their cars just to make it look fast. Fast or not, it's still rice with a "kit" ;)
Well, hello :)
Just by looking at the first pic some of you Mitsu owners may know what motor is in there. The 2nd one gives it away. 3rd, self explanatory. 4th is for anyone who doesn't believe that there's a 4g63 motor in my Avenger.
Aside from the swap. The interior is stock, save for the 2G Eclipse center console and front seats. The exterior is stock, except for the rims...although, they are the stock size of 215/50/17 ;) ...oh and the FMIC.

Welcome to the site silvercoupe :wavey: Great to have you here :thumbsup:

I'm not very familiar with Avengers... but is it common to switch that 4g63 in there? Looks like you did a great job with it :rockwoot:

Thanks for the welcome Ricer.
Fortunately, there are only 4 Avengers with this swap at this time, so we're still very unique.
The AWD drivetrain HAD to be swapped in also. It would be just pointless to just swap the motor and keep it FWD. The drivetrain came from a 95 Eclipse GSX too.
The 95-00 Avengers/Sebrings only came with the 420a and 6g73 motors from the factory....the Normal Illinois factory...the old DSM factory ;).
The Avenger/Sebring is just a cousin of the DSM but the underpinnings were borrowed from the Galant, also made in the same plant. Needless to say, the driveshaft tunnel was brought over from the Eclipse onto the Avenger/Sebring.
