Custom Fit Car Cover
Looking for feedback/referrals on a quality soft touch indoor car cover for my 75 LA Coupe. I've been looking at the Covercraft premium indoor covers, but can't match up the model with the US specs. The car is not a daily driver, so looking for a quality dust proof cover which provide excellent pain...

Slow Winsdcreen Wipers
The windscreen wipers on my 75 LA are painfully slow & I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to speed up the wipers or service the wiper motor?

Cheers aussiblue, I'll try the adjustment to the turning plate & if no luck source a suitable replacement. Might pass on the Ferrari one tho.

Dash Intrument Lighting
The instrument lighting on my LA is now very dull, even with the light control turned full up. I've had a quick look at the rear of the dash & can't see any accessible globes, so now wondering if the lighting is internal to the instrument cluster. Anybody had similar issues & sorted a suitab...

Re: LA/LB Door Rubbers
Apologies for delayed respose & update. I haven't spoken to Phil for several months now & during our last conversation he indicated he would need an original set of LA door rubbers to sent off to his supplier (overseas) to confirm correct modeling. As for the set I purchased last year, I sti...

LA Lancer Bonnet Badge
Hi Guys, can someone please confirm what the original bonnet badge for my 75 LA Coupe would have looked like? Any of the below pics "on the money"? http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z467/Affa41/Mitsubishi%20Parts/141220111144.jpg http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z467/Affa41/BadgesEmbl...

Re: LA/LB Door Rubbers
Update - I spoke to Phil today & he now has doubts whether the rubbers were modeled correctly off an LA coupe & perhaps of a Galant coupe instead? Well it wouldn't be a Galant 2 door, because all of them were minus top door frames as they are all pillarless. Fair call, sorry but I'm not up ...

Re: LA/LB Door Rubbers
I too have purchased windscreen rubbers from Phils and they were a great fit. I was surprised to see the coupe door rubbers available and also at such a great price - unfortunately sometimes you only get what you pay for & not what you were hoping for.

LA/LB Door Rubbers
G'day Guys, I recently bough a set of replacement front door door rubbers of Ebay for my LA coupe ( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130752266388?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 ) and thought I struck a bargain as my current and original rubbers needed replacement. HOWEVER, when I w...

Ok, that's handy to know - looks like it won't be worth his effort & cost then.BIG26L wrote:Front doors are interchangeable between LA and LB sedans.
Rear doors are NOT interchangeable! As LB sedan has different shaped rear wheel wells to LA sedan. They will bolt on but will not close.

G'day guys, I'm selling a pair of back doors from my LA wreck & I'd like to know what other models/years the doors may be compatible with. I currently have an overseas buyer lined up & want to ensure I don't on-sell something that won't fit. Cheers Cunjie

Re: Switch problrm.
I'm with Woops, check to see if the ball bearing hasn't fallen out. I too had the same problem on my LA a while back when I had the gearbox serviced, just needed to add another ball bearing and it was all good.

4G33 Engine Number
Hi guys,
I just had my 75 LA Lancer in for an interstate rego changover check & the guy couldn't locate the engine number. I've also had a good look but couldn't find the eng number either.
Exactly where should I be looking to locate the eng No?
Cheers,
Cunjie
