Re: whats the difference between jap and BW diffs?

Don't quote me on this........But I believe VR4/EVO 123 LSD's are a direct fit.
I haven't looked into this other than to chase some info up on it........

The last scorpion diff I used had a Detroit Locker installed in it...........Don't ask, It cost shitloads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lancer drift suspension setup

From my previous experiences.............. If your going to rose joint the castor rods, rose joint the inner end of the control arms and use solid alloy camber top plates with spherical bearings as well. You will also need to cut the tierod adjusters in half and then weld them into a longer sleeve t...

When it was converted to a sports sedan, it was fitted wit...

Re: hilux diff questions

Regardless of what you use your going to have get the mounts moved inboard and the stud pattern changed to suit the lancer.
Hilux's are a good all round alternative. good strength, lots of ratios and lsd options and parts are easy to come by.

P.S. RN25 hilux diff is a direct fit to a mk1 escort......

Re: triton diff gears

What year model??????????

Owners manual says 2WD 4.222 and 4WD 4.675 only for 86 to 96.

Might have to see what option are available from a pajero and L300 of the same vintage to get what you need.

Re: scorpy diff geared to 4.11

You'll find 4.222 and 4.675 gears in the back of an early l300's.

Bolt in fit to the 10 bolt scorpion diff.

Re: 2.6 pajero power steering

triton, express, starion..... are a good place to start looking for a steering box that may fit the galant.

You will need the steering box, the lines and a cooler.

BUT......this all depends on whether one of the above steering boxes can be adapted to the galants steering system.

Good luck........

Just a couple of quick fact...... The balance shaft turns at twice the speed of the crank. Porsche use the same system in there 944/968 4 cylinder engines (Under Licence from Mitsubishi) E.g. 6000rpm crank speed = 12000rpm balance shaft speed So if you run an Astron to 7500rpm like we do.....
