2.3 liters for a jap 5 speed
1.7 liters for a galant 4 speed

I took my flywheel, clutch, bearing and 5 speed to a clutch place today (can't remember the name) and they had a look at it, the Guy who seemed to know what he was talking about said their was only one other pressure plate, and the fingers just sat out more, what he ended up doing was throwing a HUG...

ok so after, the 4 speed going on then off, then the 5 speed going back on, then different bearings going on (3 different bearings infact!) i decided to do some measuring, and i came to the conclusion that the pressure plate is wrong. i called ABS and they told me that there are a couple different h...

ride: half finished, to be painted soon, gc galant
location: Adelaide, coro valley
suggestions for locations: near Adelaide, maybe out near tailem bend? heard there's a new track out there ;)

lol I third that motion! gentle cruise to Adelaide sounds good, we'l be waiting here for you guys

thanks,
Kirk

yeah it worked fine before, that was the first thing gb_bb4c checked when he came and had a look, we also tried another cable that I had laying aroud, had the same issue as before, I'm thinking of sticking one of the 4 speeds on temporarily, to see if I have the same problem

thanks,
Kirk

I was going to put my challengers on my sisters old holden barina (pretty much a rebadge) as a joke, and they stood out the gaurds by. about 10cm, and on my galant they only stand out about 1cm. ...now imagine the wheels from that barina on my car? I'd need some serious spacers for them to fit thank...

yeah we adjusted the cable all the way, we also tried a sigma 5speed bearing aswell as the galant bearing, I'm going to pop the gearbox on again and see if it was maybe a one off unexplained thing. thanks Dave!

here's the clutch on the motor

yeah its new. right way round as in lined up with the right bolts? ill get a pic soon.

thanks,
Kirk

hey guys, I've got a new clutch in my gc with a 5speed behind it, the thrust bearing isn't making enough contact with the fingers on the pressure plate. after trying a different bearing I still had no luck, ones thing I did notice was the fingers were sitting flat, not protruding outwards. and body ...

that green gc looks epic, pitty I couldn't make it down good job guys!

Haha no problem man! if you need a hand give me a shout!

thats the video of the first time i started it! sooooo good

iDorothy just started! it was struggling to even fire, but I sprayed a bit of "start ya bastard" into the carby and it stuttered then started. the sound was amazing I couldn't believe the improvement in sound, I'm happy!!

just need the gearbox mount now!

thanks,
Kirk

pretty much what Dave said, it lines up to the chassis, but the bolts to the mount (5speed to crossmember) don't line up, ill just go buy a new mount for a LC lancer, then I should be fine

thanks,
Kirk

thanks heaps!! sorry I didn't use the search, I tend to forget its there awesome write up BTW ;)

thanks,
Kirk

hey guys and girls the other day I was about to fit my gearbox cross member, I climbed under the car with the cross member in hand, and low and behold it didn't fit! I picked up a sigma cross member today, its obviously to short, so I was thinking of merging the 2 cross members together with some bi...

all the linkages are done and connected, and things are plugged up where they should be :D turned the key and the starter kicked the motor over a couple times but i never got it to fire. i then found 2 wires left behind :facepalm: ones connected now, ill do the other one in the morning when i come b...

ITS THE RIGHT ONE! thanks jason! one down, one to go

thanks jason,

ill give it a shot

ok there are 2 wires left from my galant after pulling appart :facepalm: i know theres a general rule to LABEL wires when you unplug them, but me being 20 and a smart arse decided NOT to label them. so one of the wires was found with all the old stock carby pile (ring on the one end and flat electri...

should be starting up in the next hour! ill take a vid too

ill be at the castle plaza meet, painted or unpainted

thanks,
Kirk

the rear wheels on, the back is raised, planning on lowering it a bit

here's a bunch of pics from today!

spoke to a possible new s-g member today, and told him about the cruise, he had a mint sigma and seemed keen (fingers crossed)

thanks,
kirk

hey guys and girls, sorry I haven't updated in a while, this is where I am atm, the motor it out, the gearbox seals have been replaced all round, got new brake & fuel lines, got some coolflex radiator hoses, thinking of ordering a thermo fan and I've polished up most of the valve cover (thinking...
