Good news TJ

Unfortunately, not long after the jump, I got too close to an embankment (the road is HEAVILY cambered toward the embankment) and when accelerating out of the corner, the back stepped out and we clipped the embankment, broke a tie rod, bent the RH chassis rail and didn’t get any further :knock: http...

I had some Sigma trailing arms lying around - a quick trim made some tramp rods :) Cut some flat bar to make the forward mounting. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Galant/MetalPlates.jpg Welded up http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Galant/ForwardBox.jpg The mounting was ‘modelled’ in a drawing p...

Next event was a state motorkhana round at Nirimba TAFE. Interesting day - first run consisted of a big launch and then... The big problem is axle tramp and subsequent engine movement - coil led fell out, fuel rail bent, gearstick buggered Refitted coil lead and straightened fuel rail (when the engi...

Debut event at HDCC grounds at Hampton.

Spent a weekend painting it - all done with a roller :wut: Not perfect but happy with the result (and lack of mess!). http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/06022012401.jpg http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/06022012402.jpg Number plate was given to me by my daughters :thum...

Glovebox in, dash in, VDO temp guage in dash. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/01022012389.jpg We bought a TIG welder, so what better way to learn alloy welding than to make a blanking plate for the boot. I can't weld and sheet aluminium may not be the best way to start - but it cam...

Made some door trims from masonite with help from Hoonboy. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/26012012364.jpg Had to steal the rear 1/4 window for the daily, so polycarbonate one made and fitted. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/26012012366.jpg Bonnet pins in, bumper ...

Since I 'stole' the inlet manifold off this for my daughter's LC, I had to make another for this. TN Magna with throttle body and thermostat housing swapped. Thanks to Insight Motorsport for the welding. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/14012012348.jpg Extractors donated by Hoonboy,...

Recycled the hydro handbrake, but added a much longer handle and shortened the pivot so less effort required. :) http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/05012012344.jpg Cut the original seat crossmember out and added some seat mounts. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/02012...

Out of the carport for the first time in many years http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/28122011328.jpg Removed the fuel tank (which left a big hole in the floor), painted the boot and welded some mounts in for a 200B fuel tank. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/3012201...

The Sigma of Death donated struts/brakes/front suspension http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/060610SigmaStrutNew.jpg Hoonboy donated an LC Lancer crossmember. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/30052010061.jpg I made it fit. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Ga...

Ummm, yep... Forgot about this thread :$ The build happened late 2010/early 2011 after I put the 4G54 in the LC. Early Galants do not have a booster, so I made an adaptor to use a Corolla booster and Sigma master. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/06062010077_low.jpg http://home.exet...

Back in the 80's, a bloke told me that TD Cortina headlamps could be made to fit.
Unfortunately, they are probably like rocking horse shite now as well

I haven't found anything either - although I don't need them to work on the khana car!

cheers

We we're always going to get it back. Shannons may not be the cheapest insurer around but they're the only ones that I know of that would give us a recovery option in the policy. Had it gone the other way it would have broken my heart to have to part it out but I would have made sure it was all goi...

Should have posted this before. Intro rallysprint at Hampton.

THIS is fun - Hoonboy in the co-pilot's seat.

Hills is no longer running the State Motorkhana round. Fiat Car Club have taken it on and it is being held at Ansell Park, Percival Road Richmond (near airbase). If you want to go and watch - it's free and there will drivers there worth watching. Not much required to enter - CAMS affiliated Car Club...

Small snag in the plan, Hi/low have a different "lug" pattern than Hi beams, so you actually can't* fit them in each other's backing 'shells'
H4 lamps and relays FTW.

cheers

* Obviously you can if you bodgy it

There are some LC lancer fuel tank pics in this thread

I have an LA 4-door tanks which is exactly the same dimensions, so it seems the layout is much the same for all the Lancers.

I built 2 x GJ Sigma khanacross cars (Sigma of Death I & II) on the very cheap. My 'must haves': power steering - so much quicker than the manual, on dirt you can do without the pump if desired. front springs/shocks - self explanatory race seat - so much easier to drive/control thorough preparat...

Hi all I'm in the process of going through A big brake upgrade, now I have done a lot of research and seen my lack of options. The available options are not what I want/too pricey for what you actually get. (nsx hybrid kit thing and hopper stoppers kits and simple vented slotted discs etc) as I say...

GA/GB has a smaller 'stud' diameter than GC/GD - ie the tapered part. I had a problem many years ago (long story) where we had to put a GC balljoint into a GB 'knuckle'/steering arm. Took a long time with a file to make the arm fit - but bolted on OK from there. This was about 1983 and we were using...

A couple of additional pics for Dave Trees. In this one, you can see where I welded the top of the tube that the fuel tank mounts to. It actually ties into my harness bar (which I had forgotten). http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Galant/TopOfTankSupport.jpg This one shows the galant filler hole (f...

TR block, TR head and TN EFI is what I put in the LC GJ block, TN head and TN EFI for the GA Both stock, both 'feel' similar, although gearing. weight etc is much different, so it's hard to compare directly. GJ block is easier than the TR block - nothing "major", just little things. cheers...

Cool, I've been thinking about what to put in the back of Morgan - since I don't really have any 'rules' to worry about, I was thinking something from a 4WD anyway.

Next event was a State motorkhana round at Nirimba TAFE. Not really a tar baby :facepalm: http://performanceforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=55990&d=1332671244&thumb=1 http://performanceforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=55991&d=1332671254&thumb=1 http://perfo...
