Re: 4G63 clearance issues.

Either gearbox will fit in fine. Remember to put the tailshaft in when your dummying things up to make sure the box is in the correct location.

Re: removing damaged bushes from rear lower control arm

I always cut through them with a hack saw. Once you get all the way through a little tap with a hammer and they fall out.

Re: 4G63 clearance issues.

We need pics.

Can you just cut a hole in the firewall for the CAS an move the lot back to get the gearbox past the drag link?
Dont try to raise the engine/gearbox it will just mean your tailshaft is on a bad angle.

Starion brakes on GK - min tickness of rotors

I just want to confirm starion struts will bolt in to a gk and what the min thickness of a front starion rotor is?

Bleh, old Mistubishis are not worth alot of money. Infact you will find over the coming years prices will likely remain stable.

Re: engine run on

Just remove the air filter, then with one hand on the throttle just hold throttle open a little while slowlypouring water into the carb(make sure pour into the primay throat not secondary). Just blip the throttle as necessary to keep the motor from stalling. Ive done it many times on different cars/...
