I believe I have $40 into it so far which includes new air filter (cone type), rear brakes, oil filter, and plugs. The wheels and tires were actually free and came off one of the cars I bought to resale so once the car is sold I get the wheels for $0 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />. But I will need to buy tires soon and that will set me back $560 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> which is darn near what I paid for the car. So total that would be $1400 or so. I dont think you will have a issue selling a diesel converted I-Mark if you decide to sell it. You going to veggie oil that thing?




My kind of guy. I work deal like that all the time. I like your I Mark even better now that I know what's behind it.
Here's the wheels I bought for mine.

I'm going to try and remove the paint from them before I mount tires to them, then polish them up like chrome! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Veggie Oil? YES! Go over to the Isuzu diesel page and look at the I Mark Conversion pictures. I have my Dodge pickup and Motorhome converted to it so far. I'll have my I Mark and another Trooper corn fed before I'm happy. May even build a motorcycle to run on WVO too.

Great score on the wheels. Even if you do have to buy tires, it's still a good score! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was looking at it in the reflection of a store with the lights on and came up with the idea to mount 5" driving lights dead center of the bumper. I wanted to put fog lights on it but hate fog lights and think they are useless compared to driving lights. I think it will add to the rally look it is carrying and give me a better view at night.
It is suppose to be nice tomorrow (65) so I am going to detail it and get you some inside pics and clean outside pics.

Not sure of yours, but mine has fog lights just inboard of the headlights. Raise the hood and look behind the lenses next to the headlights to see if there is a bulb socket on the back.
I wired mine into a factory fog light switch on the left side of the dash, The previous owner may have modded mine but if so, then you may be able to add them too with out adding to the front grill.

I'm going to add driving lights inside the front valance air vents. Below and inboard of the turn signals. This way they won't be sticking out and will look like they came that way from the factory.

I'll be in Ponder tomorrow at the Steak House with my Motorcycle buddys eating pie for lunch. We do this once a month somewhere in Texas. Tomorrow it's Ponders turn. Then I will be in the shop hooking up my boost and pyro gauges on the "A" pillar. You ought to take a drive up here in the afternoon and lets compare them. I'm only 26 miles north of Fort Worth.

the rs didnt come with foglights that I know of. Mine has the foglight housings but no socket for them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I perfer the driving lights over the fogs all day though. I want my two driving lights dead center of the front bumper or mounted to the center grille.
I removed the factory air box and left it open elemement and it made the BIGGEST difference. It doesnt feel like it was struggling past 5k and now you can here the secondaries kick in and feel it too. It made me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and I cant wait to put a real intake with a cotton filter over this stock dirty paper one. Next it will be a nice catback exhaust with a nice deep tone.
On a side note I drove my VR4 yesterday and the I-Mark really woke me up to how fast my Galant really is which is always nice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
