thanks mate

Just take off the wheel, then the drum, and you'll be able to see all the parts, and match them to the photo on the RockAuto web page. Take a picture. Also check the diameter of your brake drum. I think there are only two sizes that are possible (9" and ?10").

Hi everyone A while ago, I saw a picture of an LA Lancer with a stripe on the side. I've been trying to find it again, but no luck. Has anyone seen a stripe like the one in this image? http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah31/greenlancer/LAstripe1_zpsonlmyvbe.jpg If you can post a pic or a link I wo...

did anyone ever find out what colour paint code WC is? That's what's stamped on my ADR compliance plate. Cheers

Thanks for the help. I did manage to solve it easily. I pulled the timing belt, put a drill on the oil pump sprocket nut, and cracked the oil filter a few mil. After about 30 seconds of spinning the oil pump shaft, there was oil aplenty coming out of the filter. Job done!! Car runs like a dream agai...

Sorry I meant a new gasket on the oil pickup tube.

BTW, I put a new gasket on the oil filler.

Hi everyone I just replaced the front and rear oil seals in my engine. After re-assembly, I cranked the engine for up to 25 secs at a time to circulate the oil before connecting fuel and spark -- but no oil pressure, and the filter is empty. Clearly the oil pump isn't working. Does a trochoid pump n...

Any chance you could post some pix of your 4G32 turbo? I didn't think they could still be found. Cheers!

did you use white LEDs? anyone tried different colour LEDs -- like blue maybe?

Thanks for the replies. I don't have much hope, but I'll keep my eyes open. I'll see if I can fit the cosworth in my suitcase.

Hi everyone

I'm about to go on holiday in the UK for 6 weeks, and I would like to look for cool parts over there for my LA Lancer. Any parts are like hen's teeth here in Perth. I think were called 'Colt Lancer' over there.

Anyone know a place in the UK where I might find some parts?

Thanks!!
Mick

thanks mate -- you learn something every day

Hi everyone I just gained possession of a belt-drive 4G32 in a 76 LA Lancer, and the bloke who sold it to me said it had a #5 cam in it. However, he wasn't exactly truthful with anything else he told me about the car, so I am more than a bit doubtful. Anyway, I've got a photo of the numbers stamped ...

thanks mate

Hi everyone
Can someone tell me if the front guards are the same on a 2-door and 4-door LA Lancer? I looked through previous topics, but couldn't find any info.
Thanks
Mick

Hi everyone

this is the first time I've done a head gasket on my 4G32 . Should I put oil on the head bolt threads? I've been reading about it and there seems to be a bit of disagreement.

Thanks for any advice.

I haven't changed the belt, so I'm not worried about number of teeth. Today I readjusted the tension to match the dictated 6 mm distance, so at least it's not too tight. The deflection is close to 10 mm, but it's at the required 6 mm from the edge of the cover, which is according to the manual. Fing...

OK -- found that the distance from back of the belt to the cover should be 6 mm. I assume that's when it's deflected by hand? ... with reasonable force?? When released, the belt is a bit slack using this measurement. Is that normal? I don't want to overtighten the belt, but I don't want it jumping t...

Hi everybody -- I've just replaced the water pump on my belt drive 4G32, and I need to know how to re-tension the timing belt. The manual says just to let the tensioner spring provide the correct tension, but if the tensioner is loosened, there is no tension. How do I know how far to push the tensio...

Hi Davetrees Not a dumb question! The car had a coil and resistor when I got it, but the wiring was a bit screwed up. The wire that normally would have gone from the coil to the 'start' wire from the ignition switch was actually attached to a chassis ground but wasn't making a good connection (every...

Ill have a look at my resistor later tonight for you

thanks!

Hi everyone I just installed a GT40R coil with a 1.6 ohm ballast resistor in my 4G32 points-dizzy LA Lancer. However, it seems that my car didn't originally come with a resistor, so I can't find a wire to connect to the coil side of the resistor. Can I connect to the 12v switch wire on the starter s...

I bought carpets for my 75 LA 2-door in January -- black loop pile. They look good, but they are way oversize and don't fit well without a LOT of work. Took me a day and a half to fit them! Original Lancer carpets never went underneath the sill plates, and the Knox ones do, unless you cut them back,...

I'm also looking for door rubbers for my LA coupe. Does anyone know yet if Phil has sorted the problem?

G'day everyone and happy holidays!

Anyone know where to buy carpets for the 2-door LA Lancer? I checked TruFit and was surprised to learn that they don't have a mould.

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers
Mick

I just took an old LA Lancer radiator down to my local radiator shop and had it re-cored – with a triple-core - for only $350! It's been 40 degrees here in Perth the last few days, and no overheating at all, even when stuck in traffic.

Now if i only had air-con!

thanks everyone! I'll have a look through the ads and see what's available. The Cordia seats look really good!

Hi Merry Christmas! Maybe the only reason to keep the original seats in my LA Lancer 2-door is that's what it came with. But they're not real flash. And mine are disintegrating into little strips of vinyl.... Does anyone know what would be good seats to put in, with no or little modification require...

Howdy folks

The heater valve in my LA is leaking. Actually, it's been leaking all along, but it's getting worse. Anyone know if there are other heater valves that will work in the LA, and that might be available?

Cheers
