Thanks Dave Will save me some time ,eyes are not as good as thay use to be.(need glass's) And thanks about the info on the light , have moved from under the bonnet to the top of the steering column. It's handy l think to have so that you know that you havent left the ignition on. I'm pretty shore th...

I found that the face plate around the aircon ducts on an xf type Fairlane worked for me.Had to plan it down with an elactric plane and finish it of wit...

Hi all again A question on the dash of a LB- LC hatch . I know the car has a amp meter but does it also have a warning light ? The only reason i ask this is the car has had a replacement alternator in its life. The new alternator has its own regulator built in, so to make it work there has been some...

Site name: Lance

Car details:78 lb Lancer

Thanks like you both said is how it turned out. Single line with a coller for the retainer clip . All up including the back hose $115.00 You may have read that l have had touble with my calipers,the problem kind of solved. Had to machine down ( angle grinder ) and file finish my left caliper slide t...

Hi all Went down to my local brake specialest to get a full set of brake lines. He sugested that l just have one hose instead of 2 per side , cheaper less joins I put my trust in him and only said , as long as its road worthy. Driving off home started to think hows it going to work? It needs the joi...

The old pick pay and go wrecking site in Ringwood has re opened as Jollies U Pull It
It is full off insurance write offs ( later model cars ) Nothing off interest

Thats a good find .Whats that under the radio ? A trip computer ?

It may be of some interest . There must be a time when thay changed from black to green . On my caliper which is the caliper that fits my geen stut it says on the slide Sigma 2 it also has a date cast in the under slide . The date is 30/6/80. The mounting tabs are only 10mm thick . On the caliper th...

Dave as far as looking good, it will never, never look as good as your 2 beasts. Work well done . As far as the color goes the car had alot of hail damage which ive been trying very hard to fix. I would have liked to repaint it silver but l havent got the room or the skill for metalic paint. Second ...

[quote="geezer101"]With the brake caliper set up they are different. The black struts have 2 staggered mounting holes to fit the calipers while the green struts have 4 mounting holes in a square pattern. If theres any Scorpions at your wrecker take a look at the struts on it, you may have ...

Hi all just worked out how to upload pics. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/lance4862/Picture034.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/lance4862/Picture035.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/lance4862/Picture025.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/lance4862/Picture0...

Good idea about using the original slide but l bind it weeks ago. The caliper that didnt fit l got of a sigma wagon. When l went back to lmlacks to check what color struts it had, it was gone. There was a sigma on the web site at pick a part . When l went down to look at the car it had black struts....

Just doing a brake upgrade on my lancer. l noticed that the brake caliper mounts on the sigma 2 calipers can be different. Some are thicker than others. I have a replacement cailper that will not fit (too thick) . Wont fit between the disc and the mounting bracket . I have green struts . The replace...

Yes I had already droped it off to be done. The price was l think a good one at $250
Im glad that your gess was about the same.

How much do you think a reco change over bumper would be worth for a LB hatch ?

Thanks for the input . I know the sigma rims would be the easy way but in serch for the inchs . The Skyline rims are 1/2 inch wider. Have tryed them on a sigma down at Imlacks , thay seem to fit fine with 195/ 65 tyres with 8mm clearence to the strut . Chrycoman has a hatch for sale , im almost shor...

Want to get my car reregistered over the Christmass holidays.Because it will have the larger GH discs l need Larger rims. For the moment l wont to retain the styled steel wheel look. The best and the widest that I have found are Skyline- Pintara which are 14x 5.5.( I would like 6 inch. ) The questio...

Thanks for the info on the gearbox mount. Sorry l didnt read the topic properly. I understand now what you guys were talking about. The car is a lb hatch . Making room for it in the garage to bring home during this week. Been in storage. Will be on the road buy the end off the Christmass hols. Only ...

Looks like im going to have the same problem BUT .Droped into Repco and asked for a rear mount for a LC 5spd hatch, the answer was non to be had. Go into another repco store this time l asked for a rear mount for a 79 to 80 sigma with the 1.6 donk. The answer was yes there in stock about $38.00 . Sh...

Whats wrong with the Mitsubishi V6 ? A good engine is easy to get, nice and smooth . I can understand if you want a manual the Commodore would be the Way to go .I have a VN wagon which l have just replaced the engine with a VR. The old S1 VN motor had more low down power but not as smooth as the VR....

True the Cressida does use the A340 box. Thay also used the A43D box which is the same as the Volvo AW71 box, It just has Volvo trans code AW71 All the above boxs are Asin Warner (Toyota boxes) The Volvo box is easy to find non electronic like a Commodore speed auto in the VN-VP

Just running this out for ideas and debate . The mitsubishi v6 conversion l feel to a sigma should be an easy one if you like gas and autos From what I have read and seen on this forum the engine will bolt strait in. An AW71 auto trans from a Volvo with the auto bellhousing from a Pajero ( should fi...

Thanks for the offer with the auto. I am hoping that I could get something a little bigger.
The box l am looking att I know will fit if a the B W did.
Just have an idea ,it just comes down to weather it it can be registered.
The trans tunnel to me does look too small for a BW

Questions . A auto BW box .Is there much work in fitting one to a manual LB hatch ?
Or is there another type of auto box that will fit a little easyer ?

Just got mysalf a new gas gsaless mig welder. The welder was set out off the box for gasless wire polarity + to earth. I purchased one of those desposible argon co2 bottels from Bunnings to run it on gas so I changed the polarity to - earth. (Those bottles dont last very long ,about 15 mins). My que...

Yea Center road Wreckers an interesting place, not too good in the wet.Its a good place to go to exsperiment with things. I couldnt beleave my luck when i found the lc down the back. It looked like it had been there for Months complete.Then thay put the galant infront of it .I got the lc rear hatch ...

Oh yes there is. Center road wrecker has got 1 lc lancer and 1 galant both have been there for a while.
Just like pick a part you have to look.

Thanks for your replys . It gives me some idea as of what to expect from what I will probley do with the engine. The fuel tank I wouldnt mind doing something to. I dont like the look of the tank and leaf springs when looking att the back of the car. Its att standard ride height att the moment. If I ...
