ChepeGSR is on here somewhere, so gotta give him the credit for the following:

Wow, I just spent a lot of time researching lancers (in Japanese) and I came up with some amazing info. I now have pictures of all the JDM model variants available for both "LA and LB's" (for lack of better ways to call them) and I only need to decipher some words to finish the job. I also...

Unfortunately it fits onto the oil filter thread (not the double relief valve C2 part). Also wish I had the C2 oil pump and housing (the pump is 5mm longer than the standard 30mm one and I assume they made a longer pump (same overall shaft length though) and just cut out the standard housing to fit ...

Wait! That is very expensive for an old engine! You shouldn't have to pay that much for it!

Yes, that is a 4G32b, it is a belt drive 1.6 and if you need help in fixing it, don't hesitate to ask here for information or parts! Good luck!

Oh, I also had a look at the pistons in the sports manual and the 4G35 pistons that we have are actually shaped far more like the "SS" design than the "GS"/"S" pistons.

Alternator Pulley:
80mm (ratio 1.57) - C3
67mm (ratio 1.97) - Standard 4G32

Water Pump Pulley:
132.8mm (ratio 0.92) - C3
112.2mm (ratio 1.09) - Standard 4G32

Fan Belt Circumferential length
833mm - C3
801mm - Standard 4G32
(can anyone verify the standard 4G32 size here to make sure?)

I'll take you up on the fan assembly if you're not using it! - Got Pics?
(maybe not for the rally car, but I still have a 2dr I could use it for!)

What Krohny failed to mention about this engine is that it is an almost perfect period correct (Built in 1979) C3 equivalent. Whatever isn't "works C3" parts is either an equivalent part or an upgrade to it. The alternator isn't just the "GS" 45A model, but an Ingrams 70A monster...

Thanks for the tip Matt, but the engine Krohny is talking about (which was inherited from an old rally car we purchased together) is actually a 4G32 bored out to be a 4G35, and I can promise you we had no idea that this had been done. Unfortunately, when it came to starting the engine again, it ate ...

Am I mistaken that this would be the 4G32 GS engine? Might pay to get the pistons out and even the guts of the dizzy if it is...

G'day mate! I was wondering when you'd pop up here!
Good luck with the sale, and if you still need seats etc, send me a PM.

As for you others, I've seen this car and it is in amazing condition...It's pretty clear its done around 117,000 km.

Look at what I took credit for finding! Life does reflect RvB...and I get to be Caboose! fricking sweet! :thumpsup: Galant_GTO, thanks mate, but I've got all the proper hardware...save for the lines, which extend almost an extra foot or so outwards, but that can be sorted out, as Krohny mentioned. ...

I've just realised why my 2dr LA is a dog on the brakes - I've got no brake booster!
Now I'm just curious but is this normal for LA's? I wouldn't have thought so, but if anyone knows for certain, please enlighten me!

Please help, anyone with a car trailer / tow car that is free tomorrow for a fellow S-G who struck some serious bad luck last night and had no option but to abandon his new S-G car on the side of the freeway! :banh: :banh: :banh: :banh: :banh: would be greatly appreciated. help needed in the East, b...

Ok, as I've been out of the loop I totally missed out on being a smart arse on this one, so I'll sum it up as I see it: So what if the A73's are better! They would have been bought by top level rally teams, had entire C3 packages installed on them and slowly modified with better parts as technology ...

Third that! It is most definitely a plastic badge, and therefore not suitable for any sort of heat treatment. Also, plastic paints are quite capable of lasting a long time, so long as a good finishing product is used too. Admittedly, not quite as good as new, but with some work it could easy become ...

Ok, simple enough...this is a picture of a top quality one (never giving it away, so don't ask). There is only one paint colour on the badge...and it's white over the flat parts of the shield. (around the head and hoof of the horse). I have no idea how to restore the red plastic around the shield......

Dammit, Gotta say I'm out of this one until I can get the car fixed...master cylinder is cactus...no rear brakes at all, the exhaust has called it a day, and there's numerous other reasons why my car should not be allowed on the road... including a hit and run incident two weekends ago...not cool! (...

My opinion, Find a set of Good LA/LB Lancer sedan bucket seats, I've got em in mine, and they were bolt in bolt out...rather snug for a medium sized guy, but its gonna be like that in any set of seats.

(Now to get the back seats reupholstered in the same black vinyl...)

Welcome OldYeller! What a collection! I think everyone here would admire a garage like that! I was going the same way with my collection: 1 LA, 1 LB and 1LC, but I lost the LB to the bushfires, and at the moment, I'm struggling to just keep my LC on the road! (Not long now before it goes in for the ...

Ah I had forgotten about that! (as that question was answered elsewhere), but I'm happy to share that info (thanks to whoever you are!) Simply put...yes it can be done! A 4G33 can be bored out to the 4G32 size and have these pistons fit. BUT it is not wise to do so if you then search for performance...

Hmm, not fun! Once you've found the problem, I'd be more than happy to part with a few bits and pieces of my collection to help you out. (I've now got plenty of parts due to no longer having a car to put them in!) Got a reco'd head here as well as a few other less than perfect condition heads, and p...

On another note, are there any other websites with old lancers? there is a first gen lancer one out there somewhere www.1stgenlancer.co.nr I'm surprised you're not on it yet Rog (ditto for a few other guys here!) We'd benefit from your added knowledge, and you would have a better chance finding thos...

Or you could just pay for the difference and I'll drag your sorry asses around!

hmmm...what happened to the 4.625 gearing then?

Hmm...hoonboy, do you mean a standard one? or are you mixing the "works" 4.625 up?

little bit sensationalised, eh

Yeah! well never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
