CORDIA BONNET SCOOP FTW!!! haha. Thats some 80's styling for ya!

Thanks bro. Nah your not talking shit. I read that he has got a seperate start switch as well. But id like to set it up using the key. It would just eat at me if its not done properly. Ill get there. just want to lay some black marks down!!!

+1. They should be 0p i think. Modgies should fit alright. Seen a billion EX Lancer's with them on.

ME TOO! I just did 2 sec ago! Where the fucks your EX?

Decided to do something about this car today. Had a few tips and tricks to try to get some god damn oil pressure. I pumped oil back thru the oil feed for the turbo. Turned the motor backwards. NOTHING! So, thought id pull the motor out and have a look under the sump. ENGINE OUT..........AGAIN! Got it sitting on the engine stand As soon as i took the sump off, i saw silicon build up all on the pick up. Probably not the main cause of the lack off pressure, but mite have contributed to it. The pick up mite have been squashed up against the sump so i tapped the bottom out a bit Decided to do a few tests Took the pick up off and put some oil down. Turned the motor over by hand to see if the oil gets sucked up, and it did - Good start! Pulled out the pressure relief valve to see if its not stuck open. Was working perfectly - Good Kept turning the engine over whilst pumping oil in the pump to see if oil pumped thru to the relief valve. It was squirting oil out the fitting for the pressure gauge! - EVEN BETTER NEWS! So the pump works. May have been deprived of oil coz of the gunk and squishing of the pick up. Before i put the engine back in the car, im gonna fill up the pick up, and pack it full of grease. In other news, I locked my spare diff! Wont put it in till its running, for obvious reasons To Lowlancers Disgust, I mounted my rear muffler. I dont think it looks that bad Shes comming together. Just gotta sort out the electrical bugs, hope ive fixed the oil problem, then its BIG BURNOUT TIME!!!

Wow, bold move! Pull it off (and im sure you will) and it will be one dynamite car. Often wondered about gearbox options to mount these engines north/south. Will you be running a supra box? Or is there a Triton RWD box that may fit???

No luck I guess ill have to wait till my ol man can have a look at it.

Yeah? Just a coupla squirts of air or give it a bit of air for a while? Ill try anything at the moment

Ive been told to try and pump oil backwards through the oil feed for the turbo, at the back of the head. And to try and fill up the oil cooler. Whats the theory behind the vaseline trick?

Thought id try and post it up here. Long story short.............I have no oil pressure. Is this a common issue with the 4G? Are there tips and tricks to get pressure? Ive come to a brick wall.

Ill have a hunt. Im sure i got a couple lying around. Will it matter if its a 4 speed?

Thanks guys. Feel like a bit of a moaning bitch now! Had another crack at it tonight, and still nufn. Also found out theres no spark to add to it all. Mite just push it in the corner, forget about it and save up to build a new engine. Probably run a bearing from all the cranking ive done. My ol man said to try pump oil back through the oil feed for the turbo. If anyone has any ideas, please dont hesitate to say anything.

IM OVER IT!!!! Plugged up the wiring, and tested the electrics. Nothings goin right. Central locking isn't playing the game, computer turns on while the motor is cranking, and doesnt stay on when key is in the "ON" position. Put some oil in the bastard and tried to get some oil pressure. I cant get any oil pressure! Im over it!!! For sale maybe???

What diff ratio you runnin?

^^^ I agree!!!

Did you see this one? Different angle

How much did that cost to make? Would you make another 1?

Ooooo was that a dig???? Yeah, still the same. You need a wof/reg (of corse) and they go over your car to make sure all the lights work and what not

Getting just that lil bit closer to finishing huh?! Blows me away how untouchable your lancer is. Should be stored at a Mitsubishi museum!

Want? Id take it off your hands for free!!! If you were wanting $$$, what were you tinking of?

Let us kow how you get on with making this. Id like to copy it

PERFECT Those reeeeeemz are the business!

What gear did you hit in the burnout comp? 3rd?

Thats 100% correct. Im always told "That tyres size doesnt exist" everywhere i go. Pain in the ass!

Yeah im wanting to stretch. 7" wide
