Re: Automatic to manual conversion

Not sure how different it is to a lancer but the annual box was shorter and had to modify the gearbox mount to sit forward further. Might have to well a small tunnel on the outer firewall to support the clutch cable adjuster if it's not hydraulic. Centre console will have to be changed as well. Shou...

Re: My GE Sigma Build

When you put the engine back in make sure to take the rocker off the motor or that chain will take a few chunks of that nice new paint with it. Seen it happen a million times with friends cars.

I've heard that too, although being underground and mostly under cover I didn't think it would affect it enough to make a noticeable difference tbh. Either way best time if this has any merit is in the morning, after its cooled off all knight and before the morning sun heats it up again

Anyone driving qld to Vic any time soon?

As per title anyone doing a road trip in the near future? I have an engine to send down to Vic and on the very off chance someone here is making the trip I could pay them as money over freight and everyone wins.
Anyone?

Re: What is it worth?

Looks good.
I paid 6k for my LC but it was mint in and out. Stock seats with 0 damage, dash mat with 0 damage original 90k on it good chrome trim etc.
Water gauge might be a 14 dollar sender off eBay I'd try that first.

Re: Maverick

yep pretty much. stock barra turbo makes 270kw, which is very easily wound up. can use stock everything from an FG instead of trying to source very obscure aftermarket this and that to maybe hold down a big power 64t. just makes more sense to me.
no replacement for displacement right?

Ive recently purchased a scorpion diff for my LC and am just wondering what my options are for an LSD/ratio upgrade will be? Ive read that l300 4x4 LSD diff centre will be a straight swap, as well as a triton. Is this correct? Are there any aftermarket LSDs that will fit? As i will be dropping a big...
