Re: my 77 galant v6

The best thing to do is get a coat of paint on it ASAP. Etch primer and undercoat won't keep the water of it completely. However there are products that are designed to be used to remove that light surface rust and leave it ready for paint. They are basically a phosphoric acid solution that you pour...

Re: These tyres any good?

Not sure about the KH11's, but I run the KU31's on the Galant. These are the next level above the KH11's, and then you have KU36's which are getting into semi-slick territory. KH11<KU31<KU36 So far I've done around 11000ks on the KU31's and have found them to be a great tyre. Plenty of grip in the w...

Re: What size exhaust for 2.6 na

That sounds kinda like one of my old Scorps. Had a set of old 4-2-1 extractors, and I wanted a sports exhaust. I couldn't afford one, but did have a few old standard systems. The extractors went into a short section on 2 1/4" that I then split back into 2 which were the the standard 1 3/4"...

Re: 4G92 SOHC into LA - Too much Effort

I'm thinking of going 4G63 anyway, but then engine came up at a great price. Obviously not worth the trouble to try and fit compared to a 4G63, but I've still got myself a set of quad throttle bodies and a motec out of it all which I may end up using on whatever does go into it.

The booster in my Galant is a lot smaller than the Scorp, and the Lancer is even smaller again. They should give the required clearance but i'm not sure on the legality of it. Another option I have seen is to modify the valve cover slighty (corner cut off and welded up) but this would only give an e...

Re: ignition barrel problem

Does it run an ignition ballast resistor? I've had a similar issue in the past where the car would start up fine but die as soon as you let go of the key. The coil was getting power while cranking but nothing when the key turned back to run.

Wiring looks to be connected to the light in the top of it - probably just one of those flashing one to make people think it has an alarm.
