yeah i though about doing that too, but a mate who was a panel beater spray painter pointed out that different temps, different paint/thinners mixtures, different sanding, different air moister can affect your paint finish, so for a decent job doing it all at once is best. But man if you are happy f...

I actually have a Commadore ute diff that I can get cut down and get an LSD centre for no probs, plus it has stronger axles. But i was hoping not to have to goto the trouble and hoping to keep it lighter. I know it makes more sense to put in a bigger much stronger diff but the extra cost of redrilli...

Hey Guy just a question about the LA Lancer diffs and their diff centres. Mines a 74 and im wanting to try to find a mechanical LSD for it. Like the Cusco 1 and 1/2 way. Im just wondering does anyone know of a shop that definitely sells these centers and that i can call and they can sell me a bolt i...

Ahh dont worry about those guys Foxy, Thy think what they drive is the bees knees.

Good on you for being into cars!
Good on you for picking a Mistu,
And good luck with all the fun ahead of you
And just remember its all worth it when you get to take it for its first proper drive!

I agree with stealth, but just check in your state, in NSW I needed an Engineers ok for the 2.6 Which will mean Brake upgrades front, disk rear etc. Maybe the 2.0L to get her back on the road, heaps of em around and cheap. And youll be so stoked to get her on the road and be driving, you wont be cha...

Ahh no worries thanks man!
Would love to go on a cruise with some other LAs, i have another mate with a 74 4door

City hunter. Your in the US right, so just grab a starion/conquest 2.6 turbo motor. Blocks are about the same as our 2.6, then just find a aussie magna head for it to replace the yank shit they come with and aussie magna efi gear, use the conquest box(you will need to convert to hydrualic clutch) an...

haha nope not mine....

Ok im not sure what you are referring to with the Gbox models, but ill say with my experience in my 76 LA I fitted the 81 GH 2Lt Turbo and 81 5spd GBox, total mission, the GBox was too bulky around the tail end and wouldnt fit into the trans tunnel, and also was too long, i had to cut some of the tr...

oh cmon, the front end is beautiful!!!! haha

Actually it had been awhile since ive driven her, It clears the gaurds no worries ,but on full lock the tyres rub on the Sway bar!

Im pretty sure they came with a quoted 115-118KW, and reading the manual at 20Degrees BTDC But a higher flow exhaust, some boost, amd alittle tweaking will net you alot more. Not forgetting from factory they had to tune them for economy, long lasting, and for drivabilty. some simple mods and tweakin...

ahh sorry man, no worries.
Ill extract my foot from my mouth.

Didnt know about a seperate car called the PWS.

Cheers man!!

oh by Spacers, I mean adaptor plates to allow for the wheel offset....

awesome, sounds like youve been doing plenty! And definetly on the right path with future stuff! Interesting to hear you have the same problem with boost drop off in top end of revs, with the factory set up, i had to have the rear housing machined slightly larger and bigger wheel and i started think...

Thanks man, the guy i bought it off had already rolled the gaurds, and they are a front wheel drive offset, so just had some spacers made up and they are sweet, no rubbing at all.

Hey guys, finally a section for just us Lancer nuts! Here are some pics of my 4 door in happier days before the cops decided they didnt enjoy it on the road as much as i did... When I brought it for $500, just a neat little stocker. http://i42.tinypic.com/15g6s13.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/2ushl48.j...

Good one Cheater!!
I might tell my apprentice to do that one

ah Paddles the 'Original Sigma Turbo Motor' was designed by Peter Wherret. And Lethal thanks for your feed back too. Yes I have one of the 500 originals, its been extensively rebuilt. Ive just sold my 74 LA Lancer 4door shell, and bought a very rare 2 door (only 24 brought into the country for the S...

Hi Guys, i posted a question about my Original Wherret Turbo motor just before the site was shut down and this one opened up. By the way good work guys it seems to be much smoother and easier to navagate. Anyhow my question is what is this sites stance on selling stuff like engines on here? Im only ...
