Re: 74 LA Lancer bolt in engine/radiator options

Hi Rockin', here's a engine bay shot of my old LB Lancer hatch. I used a jet valve head (valves welded up), port matched an inlet manifold that was completely void of the EGR valve (it hadn't been blocked or cut off- it simply wasn't manufactured with one, not even the gas port gallery) and a stock ...

Re: Cottees' 1980 Chrysler Lancer LC GL A73M Resto

I swapped the rear view mirror in my GD from one out of a scorpion- much wider, matched the interior colour and had the night glare reduction. Easy mod, cheap and works brilliantly. Had an LB hatch, can post pics (now) of full on interior retrim of seats and door skins. Liked the hatches a lot, you'...

Re: Need a quote, and willing to pay for it :D

These kind of A-Holes don't give up... Is there any chance of tracking your car's history by the compliance plate? Surely the fact it's not carrying an aust delivered plate would help you? Chase down the option codes to prove this is a factory spec car. Hope someone can help you fight this.

If you're going to get another starter motor anyway, why not have a crack at pulling yours apart and taking a look at it's guts- just for curiousity's sake? It's a bit like stripping your first carby, you think it's full of dark magic and shouldn't be screwed with but once you've done it you learn s...

Heads up, kenvv! I decided to do some research 'bout your spring dilemma. The place isn't called universal springs, it's industrial springs (port rd, hindmarsh) .

They're a straight swap- 5 leaf. I used a set in my Lancer hatch after the driver's side leaf snapped . I was really freakin' lucky I was doing less than 40k's when it let go. I was also lucky I had a set of the wagon springs at home and they bolted up (I did however, need to grind off the locator d...

Man it's getting crowded in there! Looks like you couldn't fit a bigger brake booster even if you wanted to... I've said this before but- wagon rear springs? It'll raise your rear but make it feel more compliant. You may need to use blocks to bring it back down so it doesn't stand up like a monster ...

Dude, this is the stuff of nightmares. There's a couple of variations of pollution control on these colt engines.

Yeah, sounds like one of those "I wouldn't try it" ideas. Swap for a later model tank? I played with fitting a Cordia turbo tank under my GD wagon. It would've worked out too- just needed to make a support/spacer to locate the front end of the tank, either recycle or make up the mounting s...

Re: RIDING IN STOLEN CARS

Took a look at it, not bad (a little more complex than the low IQ coil killer switch) liked the idea of using a dud remote key fob to conceal the immobiliser function ( what is wrong with this @#$*ing remote? ). But I have a feeling if a hard wire bypass is used on either the coil or starter circuit...
