Hi guys was just wondering if some people could do me a favour. I wanted to know if the wheel base of GC/GD 4 doors were the same as the 2 doors? Would assume so but wondering if someone could please check :) I just measured my GC 4 door at 2415mm and width (from flare of guards approx) 1620mm Cheer...

Hey guys just after some advice. After how many km would you rebuild your engine? Would it matter if it was a turbo or not (specifically 4g63t if anyone knows). How many km does your engine have on it? Would you replace turbo first? I do realise it depends on the engines life and how hard its been t...

Hi mate, hope you got the suspension setup sorted.
Kind of want to hijack your thread a bit here and ask, where did you get the flares and would they suit sedan?
Would be very interested in a set if they do.


Cheers Matt

What do you need?
I got one sitting here.

If you want numbers to match, get a 2.6, shave it until no numbers are left and re stamp it.......not unheard of.
I know of a "1.6" litre that looked a lot like a 4g54 once upon a time.

Cheers Matt

4speed and 5 speed (narrow jap) are the same yolk spline. I had a 4 speed in my GC and changed it to the jap narrow. I used 4G32 flywheel and clutch and the same tail shaft. Only difference was that shifter was a bit further back in floorpan and cross member had to be moved back one lot of bolt spac...

Just FYI, the starion LCA gave me 2.8 degrees and 3.2 degrees neg camber (driver, passenger)

Wouldnt mind a link to those generic ones you bought as I want to turn mine back to around 2 degrees


Cheers Matt

If you want camber, either adjustable strut tops or get LC Lancer engine cross member and then starion lower control arms this will give you neg camber. I have starion LCA in my LC and have 2.8 degreese, so in a GB (which from memory is skinnier) you should get a bit more). If you want EFI get TN/TP...

Sorry about small pics, this happens every time i upload pics.
I took them on propper camera and uploaded to photobucket from there so good quality but not sure why they always small........tech help?


Cheers Matt

Dyno run didnt do power runs because it was running very lean and the oil light flickered on a few times (but its set to 20psi, and it was only a flicker) so guy didnt want to run it too long so will go back and get power figures. Had 88hp at wheels but that was no where near full throttle. Very tai...

Interesting questions mate, wish I could help. I put a narrow block 5 speed in my GC and apart from moving the gearbox mount back (as everyone here says is the standard modification) I also needed to chop a bit of my floor to make the shifter fit through and I didnt think this was the case unless it...

So it was parked in the driveway last night, came out this morning to find half a gearbox worth of oil under neath it and streaming down the drive....appeared to be coming from the back of the gearbox where the tail shaft goes in......how do I fix that? Is there a seal somewhere in there that needs ...

Yes it possible.
Decide what car is going to be used for as that may mean changing struts and other bits and pieces.
If you just want Coilovers, here is a link to weld on kits from a place in Sydney.

Yea its great to finally get it running again. Next event planned is full rally on 28th July at Johns River (Taree). No I dont think they were glowing haha. Oil pressure was good, idle dropped a bit low so I turned the screw a bit so sits nicely at 900-1000rpm now and around 25-30psi. Getting up it,...

Finally got my LC lancer up and running. Was checked over by the mechanics after I did all the work and got ticks all round there except for needed a bit more grease in some ball joints. Went to get run in on the dyno and was running very lean, turned out that when I sent the manifold, injectors and...

BIG26L is on the money. LA lancers are different to the others in spring diameter due to a skinnier strut tower. They share the same 4bolt pattern on the strut top as other lancers though. So If you have a LB hatch (not coupe, some ppl here will get on your back about that) with green strut's from a...

Didnt fill it to the brim, just until it was starting to leak back out the filler hole. I did have to change the throw out bearing collar (thing that it sits on, if thats what you call it), but only because someone had put a modified one in there (it had an extra sleeve welded on it, so it would fit...

Awesome...where did you get those from?
When I put my LC on the ground it is now running some serious neg camber (bit much for tally, probably around 2.5-3 degree at a guess) so looking for strut tops to bring them back a little.


Cheers Matt

Whole cable looks to be intact and it was a little tight so assuming it popped out the back of speedo. Superscann811 has given me another cable to try. Cant really re route it as its pretty direct at the moment :( Hopefully fix isnt too difficult. I did notice however that I still had to chop the fl...

2 options, make a surge tank and run factory magna pump in the surge tank, this has a lift pump and high pressure one all in one...or make a surge tank and run an after market lift pump and high pressure one. If your pistons are dished then comp will be a little lower, if pistons are flat top then c...

So was driving home from a camping weekend, car had done over 100km that day and then whilst cruising along speedo stopped working :( Has anyone had to change the speedo cable when converting to this gearbox? It seems its just a little further back than the 4 speed, might this have caused it to fail...

Is it a 2.6L head or 2L head?
I know the 2L head can run the standard size valves from the 2.6L's, which is 3mm bigger for that head.


Matt

I wanted longer LCA too, I used Starion LCA, bush and ball joint onto my GH struts. Sway bar and radius rod line up and gave me an extra 1.5-2 inch on the lancer ones. I will say this though......the car has not run yet, test day is on Sunday at a motorkhana....its the entire car test day lol. Will ...

and did have to cut a bit out of the transmission tunnel for shifter to fit....only about 40mm or so.


Matt

1.6L flywheel and clutch work fine with 5 speed gearbox. didnt change cross member, simply moved back the 1 bolt hole in the floor pan and changed the gearbox rubber to suit 5 speed. car up and running, tight 5 speed is so much better than my old 4....however I have noticed that after driving to New...

Will also depend what gearbox you want to run as to what block you run. If you want a wideblock gearbox then you will need a wide sigma/scorpion block. (factory manual blocks...these are generally stronger gearboxes, can also use Starion gearboxes) If you want a narrow block gearbox (4 speed or narr...

Thanks guys....I have 3 of the mounts needed, one for my LC, one for the GC and one spare (not for sale sorry).
Will be trying this converion this weekend and will let you know about the gearbox/flywheel


Matt

Did use the search button and found your post astronturbo77 and it was very good thankyou. It does say there you will need a clutch and flywheel if converting from an auto, but the gearboxes come from two different motors one a 1.6L and one a 2L, does not say which flywheel is needed. I assumed the ...

Get LC cross member and GJ everything else. Mate just finished conversion in his 2.6L GA and it works.
Note Radius rod mounts need modifying and moving about 60mm further foward.

Matt

mmmmmm Billies
