Looks great, i love the fender mrrors too.
I didn't know those wheels were called 'asahi'..

i reckon I can see a little heritage from that colt in the L200. Japan at the time really was only designing cars as big as they needed to be -funny to think there were utes and vans even smaller. Wasn't there a 360cc 'minica' or something? I'd say go all out on this one. Complete bare metal repair ...

Not so sure now, after speaking to the paint shop he thinks it will lift of in under 2 years. Also, if I use matte clear it will have a rough finish and be an ass to keep clean, plus he said it will go chalky in no time Keeping it clean wouldn't matter with that look anyhow? I voted no, though i li...

man, i just had a look at the full collection of pics you have on photobucket -has it been sitting outside that whole 6 yrs without a windscreen?
If you can bring her back to life, that would be epic. What are your plans for colour at this stage? It's a factory silver GTO, right?

Whoa, that's fantastic -congrats Jason!

i think there's also mixed opinion regarding whether a brake master cylinder from a 4 wheel disc brake sigma is also needed. The brake balance is different theoretically. i have a disc rear axle still to fit to my GE wagon but i'm still slightly concerned that hitting the anchors while cornering wou...

this page is awesomeful. (ie contains large quantities of awesome)

Are they readily available over there (in Aussie)

you can still get them new -for sedans at least. not so sure about the wagons.

The Supra 4 spokes would give a similar effect to the widebody starion rims above but not look as beefy. I think the 4 spokes may be too recognisable as a Toyota rim, though. People dis Rotas sometimes but I'm sure they're be fine as long as you don't power-drift into curbs. I reckon something like ...

I'm not a big fan of big chromies but your wagon carries those 17s quite well -i think the lighter colour helps. There's quite a lot out there in 4x114.3 these days and getting new wheels in custom sizes, offset and PCD is so much cheaper than it used to be -so i wouldn't be changing stud pattern un...

Top buy! Looks in great condition too. I wonder what the history of the white painted roof is? Maybe a previous owner liked the look of the vinyl roof option? It seems to be missing the left hand mirror though I'm pretty sure all SE models had both. Positioning of the rear badge and bonnet emblem lo...

they are different widths too. Wagons are another story..

great pics

there's an interesting build thread on here somewhere where someone successfully supercharged their siggy on the cheap. Think it was one of the NZ crew.
If you haven't already, it's worth a look.

Hey guys, Anyone know where I can get the adapter plate to run the EFI manifold on an Astron 1? Thanks i have quite a nicely made adaptor plate that i was thinking to make an EFI 4g52 motor with one day. But i might consider selling it. Consider other's peoples comments above and if you're still in...

Where's the fire, guys? That LA lancer pic has been volunteered by it's author 'OSX' for free use on wikipedia. the full resolution is like 4000x3000 resolution which means he took it with his own camera -it's probably his own car. And if it's not, who cares? It's sitting in a front yard where anyon...

The problem with motor in wheel is the weight. Lower "un-sprung mass" makes for much better handling, especially on uneven/rough surfaces. An adaptation I thought of was to use independent motors but with belt driven wheels. Cheers. The motors Protean Electric will be producing this year ...

Another WA guy, awesome. Welcome to the site and props for your decision to shine some love on the old girl. I agree that the old lancers are a good lookin car -with nice proportions for a small car. I sometimes see a white lancer like yours getting around but with 13in cheviots. Plenty of tech info...

when i first read about mitsubishi's in-wheel electric motors i immediately thought about how they could be retrofitted to our cars. The datsun in that clip appears to use a single electric motor under the hood? which means using existing driveline components. one advantage of inwheel electric motor...

damn.. glad he's OK at least but..damn..

Wow your 'quick fix' on your front seats is pretty impressive.
Well done on sourcing a 4G32 from a Hyundai! We never got any early RWD Hyundais in Australia.

Welcome to the site, Greg!

From your avatar, your Lancer appears to be a lilac colour, is this the factory paint? I haven't seen that colour on any Mitsus before.
Anyway we're always hungry for pics here on S-G, put some up when you get the chance!

cleaned up a little more
and final polish with black inserts resprayed

turbo rims are a funny thing; IMO they look fantastic all polished up when looking at them on their own -But when fitted on an actual car, they look better satin.

heres the radio, please take note of the bubbling around the tuner dials this is what I want to fix input and feedback welcome and wanted please :| It's difficult to tell how bad the bubbling is, but the finish doesn't look torn so you could try get getting a fine syringe and squeezing a tiny amoun...

I recently towed 520kg plus trailer with my stock (probably less than stock) 2L 5spd GE wagon and it was fine. Wouldn't go too much more though, brakes come issue.
Towed 1.2T once in my old tired 2L auto wagon and slow was the only way to go due to brakes just not being up to it.

Yep fuel fuel filter and pump as Superscan has said. Being 'random' as you say; it could even be an electrical issue. Or you could have water in your fuel tank.. You say 'randomly' but what can you say about when it occurs? Does it tend to happen when you have low fuel in the tank? when the engine i...

Is it 4g63t?
Ive been told it is lol

yep, but it's an early SOHC 4g63T not DOHC

hey ssive, Welcome to SG. Is there any way of attaching images here? or only thru 3rd party image sharer? 3rd party only, i'm afraid. Its a GK (i think) sigma with no doors or interior but has a 4G63T in it. So ill grab that out and drop it in the Galant. Its a jap import sigma and the GE/GH/GJ/GK/G...

last pic wow :thumpsup: I MUCH prefer the orange. And you can just see a little bit of glorious DOHC peeking out over the.. dammit ..now my knickers are sticky too. Surely that's the original GTO orange? If not, it is very close. I feel the more 'classic' a car becomes, the more unappealing non-fac...
