very common problem on those is the ball joint on the end of the front lower control arm wearing. i lost count of how many of those arms i replaced on 12 month old galants under warranty when i worked at mitsi
-
do they have the same oil dripping rail thing over the cams as sr20's do? if so they are probably blocked and the squeek coming from the cams. i know of a few sr20 motors that have destroyed heads/cams because of that

keen as just say when and il show -
my boss sugested that after he couldnt figure it out either (im a mechanic)
-
thats the plan at this stage. im making a pipe going from the hole in bottom of distributor to the dipstick hole and store dipstick in car
-
definately not the o-ring because there is oil inside the distributor no roll pin, took the rotor off but had no luck in taking off reluctor(cant remember what it called but the steel block that tells the ecu when it is at tdc etc) looks pressed on and pick up inside says DO NOT REMOVE
-
i have a mx83 cressida and on the way home on friday it started missing under load. long story short: epic amounts of oil leaking from the distributor cap, pulled the dissy out to replace the seal and can't pull it apart. has anybody replaced the seal on these or is it a replace the whole thing. this thing is my daily and i live 17km from work

Christ, where do these cunts come from I'm throwing a vote in for low boost high compression turbo set up. Failing that, some 20V tbs, a kpr spec exhaust manifold and a decent ecu. This is gonna be one to watch sounds like my plans for my lancer. fuck turbos
-
don't have space or transport for more cars. already got 2 in neighbors paddock (not lancers though )
-
the haynes manual has a good wiring diagram in it and heaps of other useful crap. the gregorys manual has all the wiring on 1 page ftl. i bought both for my lancer

keen as whenever as long as it doent clash with speedway. also keen to sit in purpz getting towed through middle of town for lols edit: should be a weekend, more chance of cunts showing up/epic cruise -
the only 6g7x 2wd tritons i have seen are a few of the new shape ones and iv only seen 1 manual so gearboxes may not be cheap anyway. i drove alot of those tritons when i was at mitsi
-
i hope not to use spacers, but they are on there currently so it sits alright if someone could measure their mounts as a comparison that would be cool what did you do to fix it? put a bit of pipe down by the mount on the cross member and bent it up (speedway car) motor only lasted 3 races anyway
-
we had similar probmles when we put dylans old road car engine into 1 of the bosses dirt car escorts. apparently the cortina block is narrower
