It stopped raining and I was able to take my gearbox mount into bursons. The guy ordered a new part in and I went in to pick it up today and they still got it wrong :| I'm starting to wonder how this guy got a job there.. Im pretty sure we have ordered the right part now and it should be arriving to...

A little more progress today. Picked up the new bushes for the front end.

Looking good, thats more than what i replaced in mine.
Whats on the package in the top right hand corner of the photo?

It would be cool if this forum turned into a car club. Then we could all get Car Club Rego XD.. $80 per year haha

I dont know if this site is registered as a car club, but if it is, you can organise hill climbs and time trials etc. Get the road temporarily closed for the event

Oh ok, so the part that I bought isnt the one I need?
Theres really heavy rain outside, so unfortunately I cannot take the old one off. I got soaked just holding the part I just bought up the the broken one under the car and it didnt look right, however that was with the rubber casing over the top.

Gearbox mount issue :/ I ordered a "lower gearbox mount" from bursons and they gave me this: http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/Leeroy94/IMG_1332.jpg I said to the guy, this says engine mount, he replied with engine mount/lower transmission mount is the same part. I wasnt sure so i ...

Then of further inspection, looks like the front end's original colour was baby blue I was polishing my boot and due to my horrid paint condition it flaked off down to the undercoat which was also a light blue. coincidence? Im far from an expert on paint however they might have used light colours a...

Oh ok ill look into that, cheers

But It does have tinted windows.. hahahaha

Where can i buy replacement air filters for the twin solex carbies? They are small and round as seen in the photo below. I took out the insert and showed the guy at repco and supercheap but they couldn't help me. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/Leeroy94/IMG_1189.jpg http://i1259.photobucke...

Possibly a flat spot.. One of my mates said he would come over on saturday and have a look at it for me. Shouldnt be too much of a problem

Took my car for a drive tonight. First drive on public roads XD Problems: Slight issues with the carbys (as expected) Massive lack of power in the high rev range Wheel alignment needed Accelerator cable needs tightening Tomorrow I will be attempting to install my new shocks, brake pads and brake hos...

yer I noticed that about the arrow bumpers :/
Fortunately Cottees has offered to send me a RH end cap so hopefully i can just turn that upside down to get it past rwc.. which apparently will be fine (mechanic's words)

haha legend

You would be so stoked!
I looked into that but in QLD you have to be part of a car club and all this other mumbo jumbo.. :/

Yer i researched the part number and it said it was the same so I bought it. $170 for 2 new shocks isnt too bad, thanks dave XD
I also have bought link pin bush kit for $28 now i just need brake pads and hoses.

Cheap fix for snapped blinker combo switch: Firstly I measured out a metal plate to act as a bracket for the blinker stalk. I used aluminium for this. I bent the metal plate into place using a pair of pliers then drilled the holes required for the bolt and pin. After that it was just a case of testi...

So the NOS blinker that dave has wont fit on my LC? Ive attempted a soldering/aroldyte join to try and fix the problem however I wont be suprised if it snaps again. Well if you fit it, how are you going to turn your wipers on? It may physically fit, but it wont do what it needs to. I used to have a...

Yer I was just double checking because of the name 'excel G'.. hyundai excel. I have a mechanic friend that said he would help me with the install, where do you think I should buy the shock inserts? Another shot in the dark, will these suffice? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KYB-FRONT-SHOCK-ABSORBERS-MI...

Yer its just ive been quoted ridiculous prices (gold coast) upwards of $600 for a pair of front shock absorbers installed.
I found these : http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/gleneagl ... 1002560072
Are these the ones you were talking about?

What shock absorbers should I buy? I was looking at this, only because they sell individual shock absorbers and thats all I need to get it roadworthy. But im not sure if it will fit on my car. Also what is the difference between a rear shock and a front shock? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-C...

If the combo switch is the same as in GC/GD Galant - no idea if they are or not - No they aren't. The blinker stalk is a headlight switch, and the other side has the wiper control. So the NOS blinker that dave has wont fit on my LC? Ive attempted a soldering/aroldyte join to try and fix the problem...

So in order to get a road worthy I need both end caps for my rear bumper because of "sharp edges"
What is the best way to fix this situation?
Obviously an original end cap will be hard to find, could I use one from a sigma or something to get it past roadworthy then take it off later?

Just got back from my mechanics with the LC.. got a big list of things to do haha, majority of the problems were under the car, which i havent really had a good look at because i dont have a hoist.. things i need: Blinker combo switch (snapped on the way over, grr dad) Gear box mount is cracked Sway...

Problem:

If the car is idling with no problems, and i put my foot down on the accelerator it chokes and if kept down stalls. If i slowly compress the accelerator it revs upto red line area. Is this a carby issue or is it something else?

Some more photos of recent work to the car front bumper rust removal http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/Leeroy94/IMG_1198.jpg http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/Leeroy94/IMG_1199.jpg Rust dissolver soaked in http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/Leeroy94/IMG_1206.jpg http://i1259.p...

Alright sweet, I'll give it a go

Looks sweet!
Do you have to get a specific colour clay bar to match the colour of your car?

orangelancer wrote:you might need to clay bar it then. mine had white spots all over it when i bought it so i clay barred it and they came straight off

Sweet, ill definitely look into that thanks. Do you have any before after pictures of your paint work?

The negative side of the coil. Ill check it out tomorrow, what does the wire usually look like? Impressive change with the engine bay, looks really tidy now! Nice ride in general, I like the silver colour. Thanks Phil, I'm happy with the engine bay for now however the silver paint work has really s...
