Looking good

Just a though though, you can pick up vinyl/plastic/upholstery dye from SCA for pretty cheap. Doesn't scratch or come off, and no need for primer. Brings stuff up looking brand new

Love your work. Waiting on the updated pics, curious to see what you did about the suspension/diff setup

Welcome mate!

What are you doing for brakes and can you make me a thermostat relocation thingy Not sure about brakes yet, but I'll most likely get some custom brackets made for some bigger brakes and get some vented and slotted discs. I haven't made my thermostat relocation pipes yet, but I'll let you know how t...

Out it comes


She's a looker ;). Time to strip her naked.

A 70's Hilux diff would be your best bet, as there are too many different types of heads to list. Still a bit of work to get it in and a slight overkill I suppose

Where in nz are you based? I wish my la was that tidy I'm in wellington mate, and she's not too bad ;) A friend of mine had an immaculate LA with 35,000 original kms, kicking myself for not buying it off him You wouldn't happen to have any spare parts would you? Needing both front indicators, both ...

Do it!!!!!
I'm not sure how strong the galant diffs are but you would probably want to look into replacing it with something stronger.
Roll cage, bucket seats and harnesses too

Got bored and took some more photos because why not? http://i58.tinypic.com/24yphzl.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/2q20f4i.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2aj8goh.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/25umln8.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/2ltq06u.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2rmw5y1.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/qqzwvp.jpg htt...

Never been a fan of driving around thumping bass, always makes me feel like I should be driving a fulli sik WRX wif 20" chromez, aye khuz.

I wish I had a fulli sik WRX wif chromez, so i could sell it to some poor sod

I was thinking of putting a 2nd hand 10' samsung tablet in mine since they are only $150 more than your standard head unit, gps and wifi seem like a worth while bonus. Plus if you use a link ecu or another ecu with bluetooth you can view all the information the ecu is processing on the tablet/mini p...

Picked up a set of front and rear cusco inserts for a r33 gtr for cheap, they seem pretty flash with adjustable dampening ect. I have a set of front struts from an 80s ex lancer. Now, my question is: What would be the best way about creating some coilovers? I was thinking cutting them near the base ...

Interesting, but personally I find VTECs or any VVT type system stupid and unreliable. Just more parts to go wrong. Also I wouldn't take too much notice of what the mighty car mods guys do (even though they are hilarious) since they pretty much put out videos for ricers to fap over. The turbo mx5 is...

Haven't decided on the turbo yet, I want something small enough to get boost at low rpm or I'll just be spinning the wheels all day. I'm going for around 300kw so I will be making a strut bar for the front and one in the boot, maybe a half cage too. I will be looking into some sort of under body bar...

Love the build mate, have given me some ideas for mine

There's quite a bit in this conversion, need to upgrade pretty much all the running gear. Will be well worth it though, the 4g63t is a beautiful, solid engine

I would have though it would be easier making up a flange and pipe running from the back of the engine, round under the intake manifold and relocating the thermostat somewhere under the intake manifold?

I think the LEDs you are looking for are called "T10".
Go for the brightest possible, sometimes they are a lot dimmer than you'd expect.

Ps. Just a tip, I put blue ones in mine and they looked like shit, so I got some white ones, much nicer.

Looks great mate! :thumpsup: so... Is she running now? Not yet, still a way off. Engine still needs to be removed, head taken off and skimmed as well as block, engine cleaned, new cometic head gasket, arp head studs, 3mm lifters, and seals all around, then I can put my 272 cams and kelford springs ...

NOLATHANE BUSHES! http://i44.tinypic.com/6xq8p1.jpg First time i've ever bought any, and looking at the quality I highly recommend them http://i39.tinypic.com/10xsvpe.jpg Eww http://i41.tinypic.com/9hs6sm.jpg Much better after a grueling 400/1500 grit wet sand and polish, on a more positive note I t...

Looking good mate. The steering arms on your galant look a bit longer than my stock LA lancer ones, wonder if they would be a bolt in upgrade for a better turning radius

I think the earlier evo 4g63ts will bolt up to rwd jap boxes. Vr4 engines are stronger and usually cheaper than the evo ones (That's why I went with one). All you need is rwd engine mounts from any pre 1990 4g63 mitsubishis and the engine should plop right in

One other thing, is it better to use an engine, say, from an evo 3 config? I have yet to see a lancer with a later model 4g63t. Only setups I've seen use the evo 3 or earlier. Your best bet would be to look for a 6 bolt vr4 4g63t, as these have the stronger bottom ends and don't suffer from the cra...

what engine mounts are you using? did you drop the engine in and fab some up? apparently the lancers have more room than the galants? i have a 4g63 for my lc lancer but i havent attempted to fit it up yet. havent had the time I used 4g63 (sohc carb) engine mounts from a 1980s l200. Bolt straight in...

Things are ticking along, engine and gearbox are sitting in place at the moment, have started to mock everything up in position to see how it fits http://i44.tinypic.com/29kq2qw.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2z586mw.jpg This is where the shifter sits after cutting out some of the trans tunnel http://i4...

Looks tidy as

I am doing the same kind of conversion on my LA Lancer.
So many things to do it almost does your head in, but will be well worth it in the end!

Good luck

I love the look of your engine. I am going with clear camwheel cover too, and maybe hks cam wheels and cam belt?

I removed the breather, tapped the hole and screwed a bolt in there. I will be running a Wolf 3D and a crank mounted trigger wheel. As for the water, I bought a Jay Racing kit and it sucks ass, fouls on everything. It will be cut up and used to remotely mount the thermostat of the rear somewhere, p...

Those are some really good points mate, I measured the cas and it sticks out about 45mm from the head. I think it will fit but then again may be a bit too tight. http://i45.tinypic.com/n2btj8.jpg Have been thinking about a trigger wheel as I will probably go with a megasquirt ecu. Haven't looked int...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/auction-554543898.htm These are the Starions we have in nz, I have already measured the block and gearbox bolt holes and they are exactly the same. Not sure about cas and thermostat yet. Will sit the engine in the car when I have some time and see...
