Oh but it is...

Good to know. Should still consider using a 10w40 with the Mivec. I use this body in Amsoil in mines and works great.

Any advice guys???

Guys the fuel pump has been sticking and I'm looking to replace. What are your views on upgrading to a Walbro external and fuel pressure regulator. Also exhaust might be choking up a bit and thinking of running out 2 1/4 throughout, presently running 2". Do you think the gains are worth it? Veh...

Good buy bro...can't go wrong but as with purchasing any previously owned vehicle have it properly assessed by your mech to ensure no major problems on the horizon. I have my Mivec 10 years already and no major problems...mines is manual though. Parts are scarce but to get them you will.

Trying to post some other pics but getting some probs from s3 to tuner. Will retry in a bit.

Check it out. ..

Thanks for the thoughts, comments and ideas guys. Let me know what you all think. So far very happy with the buy. A little compromise on the ride as it is a tad bit stiffer and the aggressive AT thread pattern as compared to the stock Dunlop's but still comfortable. The look is amazing and exactly w...

Any more thoughts guys???

DriFT_KiNG

Great feedback guys, thanks...keep it coming What is the exact size and offset I should look for to ensure no rubbing etc is incurred? Also are spacers advised on this application as I do not want much of a protrusion of the wheels? The rims that I am interested are these below: ROCKWELL Off Road St...

Guys, need some advice...I am about to change original set of Dunlop AT tyres the vehicle came with but I have two minds about just buying new AT tyres for the stock 16" rims or put the bit extra and upgrade to some 18" off road rims on TOYO 285/60/18 AT tyres. My main concern is if I will...

Had this problem myself a while back...serviced/repaired solenoid and lifters and problem was sorted

Mivec functions better with 10w 30 Synthetic Oil, I am presently using Amsoil with good results.

TME ftw...i even have a full version CORGI model in this..well this is what i can afford for now nah!!!

DriFT_KiNG

That is D look self we looking for...I love those flares and I dont mind a nice set of Black Bullbars (anybody know if thoses available locally???) I am amazed how smooth the ride is for this type of vehicle and the braking system is incredible i think...no slingshot brakes like other 4x4's i've dri...

Well the BEAST reach... I collected it from DM a few days ago and I am very impressed thus far...It takes a bit getting use to it's size and is a pain in the ras to park. Thank god for the freebie reverse sensors and turbo timer from DM. I have some plans to upgrade a bit but I find the prices for a...

Well it's off to DM/Bank to get me the 3.2 then...i'll let you know how it all pans out.

I was really considering the Sorento (4x4, Diesel, 7-seater) as opposed to the Sportero but I think the Sportero fits my immediate needs at the moment...I always have something to tote!!!

DriFT_KiNG

Thanks for the advice LH. I was thinking to go for some 18" or 20"'s Black or Gun metal just for the aggressive looks but as anyone knows me I am all about function and not form. I was quite convinced after reading your blog on the Sportero then to realize that you went with the Navarra. W...

Nice blog lighthammer...

DriFT_KiNG

Thanks for the great advice guys, any issues I should be aware of. The sales rep in POS told me that you can engage the 4H/4L while in motion. Is this true or it is designed to stop and engage??? Also should I stay with the stock rims/tyres or should I go slightly bigger as this will be a daily driv...

Guys, I am looking into buying the fully loaded Sportero from DM. I test drove the 3.2 turbo fully loaded model last week on Lady Chancelor hill while rain was falling bucket a drop then decided to decent through the St Anns road. I was very impressed and did not even need to engage 4h/4L for mst of...

It looks decent but they running way off course. I have to get a 9 before its too late...the last real evo... imho

Hey guys wanted to get some feedback or thoughts on the 3.0 turbo diesel Colorado available from LM. I visited the south showroom and test drove it and was quite impressed, not to mention it is something different to the fllooded japanese vehicles. It is however a bit more pricy than the other fully...

I am interested in the Evoscan if anyone tries it let me know the gains...
I was also thinking about the Piggybacks out there but uncertain if it will be worth it...

Nice thread guys... The Galant VRG Rotors will work on the CK4/2 Mivec Lancers as I have swapped mine out with those already. I had the same hairline cracks on my front original rotors and had to change them out. Works perfectly. No complaints. I was thinking of upgrading to the slotted ones but the...

mivec 2009: What sort of problems are you having with your engine that you find it necessary to swap. In my opinion the 4993t is very difficult to source let alone finding parts in the event of any failures. Maybe you should consider performing an overhaul on your present engine and box, this way yo...
