I realise it's been a while since you posted news of the damage to your LA Lancer. Did you ever get it fixed? Same thing happened to mine -- insurance gave me only $1500 and let me keep the car. I then got another LA 2-door (drove it from Hobart back to Perth) and put all the good bits in it. If you...

Very nice steveracer, very tidy example :thumpsup: Are you going to start a build post to keep us updated with the build? Damn I wish the Australian models came with black interior here? We had to put up with beige/brown :@ Dave... you can paint the interior with vinyl paint -- I did the door linin...

nice wheels! but with tyres that wide how do you keep the car on the road when it's raining?!

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to fix. I don't know why the RAC shop left it the way it was -- noisy!

Hi everyone The timing belt failed in my LA Lancer 4G32 when starting the car the other day. I decided to let a shop replace it, which they did. However, now there's an rpm-sensitive whining noise that the mechanic says is because they couldn't find a suitable belt tensioner and re-used the old one,...

Actually that NZ engine list has two 4G32T's - one's a 1600 and the other a 16v 2-litre! Maybe the second one is a typo? Manufacturer code: 4G 32 T/C (1.6} Year of production:: 1984 - 1988 Fuel preparation: Single-point electronical injection () Supercharging: Turbo charger Cubic capacity: 1597 No. ...

I suppose the 4G32T setup shown in the pic from GB_BB4C might be tricky to fit into an LA Lancer - I wonder if there would be enough room between the engine and the firewall?

That's if I ever find one...

Aha - I knew they existed!! I've also seen many references to them on UK and European web sites. I guess I'll just need to keep my eyes peeled for one here in Perth. Here are two pix that are supposed to be of 4G32T engines - whatya reckon? http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/295549/PICT0228.JPG ...

That's s cool! What year Cordia is that?

Hi everybody I asked a similar question in the Lancer forum a while back, but didn't really get the answers I was after. Does anyone know much about the 4G32T? It's supposed to be a factory turbo, and came out (apparently) in a 1980 Cordia, 1984 Lancer (125 hp!), 1980 Tredia, 84 Colt, and 87 Mirage....

on the topic of improving what lurks under the LA's bonnet, does anyone have opinions on the 4G32T (11/83-12/85) or the 4G37 (9/86-10/90) as a swap for the 4G32 or 33? Is it relatively simple to put these motors in the LA? Having just said that the 4G32 with weber and extractors is pretty good, I wa...

Hi Maverick! Welcome to the forum! I'm also in Perth and drive a 75 LA 2-door. I've got a 4G32 in place of the original 1400, although I also added a weber 32/36 carbie which makes a huge difference in power over the stock 1600 and very driveable around town. I also have extractors in the shed that ...
