The Official CS Lancer Thread!

looking good EVA

I assuming ya flush ya tranny with nothing other than oil rigght?..if so I can tell ya an easy way to DIY....just buy 2 extra qrts of tranny fluid and with engine running,disconnect the line sending fluid thru the radiator and let it drain in a bucket.....DO NOT let the transmission pump suck in air,so ya have to move fast by adding two qrts fluid in there.....then ya after about 10secs,start to pour in the other bottles until the dirty fluid coming out the radiator hose comes out clean..then switch off and reconnect ya hose...save ya $172 dey

Yes you assumed correct and if you were in this forum long enough you would know I was one of the major contributors of the transmission oil thread
Changing the oil manually is a chance I am not willing to take again $172 is small money to do it the right way and actually you will only be saving about 40-60 dollars if you have to buy two extra quarts of oil. I have done this method only once.

Guys breakdown will be provided soon

Why ya don't wanna take the chance again if ya don't mind my asking?did the tranny fail for you afterward or something?...but IMO spending $40-$60 vs spending $172...is a savings...but if ya have the money to spend why not...was just an alternative I was giving ya....cuz dat $112 extra will help mih wit a bill in the house or someting...just saying

turbo, d service manual said the bolts must be torqued to 100 +/- 10 NM, but everyone says it doesn't matter. i]"Once u titen it hard" sed da Trinis...[/i] and no, i need a set of shims cause i have a couple missing. will check Faiz for them and hopefully get them on this weekend (never had any problems w/o them, though)

fras, only the front. more than enough stoppin power for my "lil 4G18" (as CS3A would say)

[ronsin1]

nes123 no the transmission did not fail I just think it to risky doing it that way IMHO no matter how good you are at this you may become over confident at some point and something may slip and you end up loosing the transmission. Again I prefer pay a $100.00 more to get it done with the machine

BTW anyone using the ceramic brake pads what is the performance like

[CS3A_GLX]

yep more than enuf eva! once yuh upgrade yuh rotors n pads!

[fras]

I just like rear disc, it adds to the sporty look

[turbo_beast369]

^^^ YES...yes it does

EVA right now all my wheel nuts are torqued to 75 lb/ft which is equivalent to around 100 +/- 10 NM with a long ass torque wrench I does borrow from one ah d company mechanics ...now i does make sure my wheel nuts are torqed becuz dem wheel spanner is lil toys for tightening wheel nuts....u does get almost a whole turn or more with the torque wrench after tightening with wheel spanner (unless you using a snipe for more leverage)

ronsin1 I think dat guy name CS3A_GLX has on the Daishin ceramic disc pads....

[idlemind]

You walking with a torque wrench when you have a flat?

[CS3A_GLX]

yeah i have on the wagner brake pads front n rear! got my SP performance cross drilled and vented discs up front and rear discs in the back!

can cross drilled rotors be mounted at the rear? reason i ask is that my rear disc is made into the drum unlike the front where u can change your rotors if it warps. what happens if your back rotors warp? how you suppose to change em for those that have rear discs on their vehicles?

[idlemind]

Rear discs will hardly likely warp coz its still primarily handbrakes unless ABS kicks in

[turbo_beast369]

idle I have a torque wrench in my trunk that isnt functional anymore becuz some parts that activate the spring setting are missing but the ratchet is still working so I just use it was a really long 1/2" power handle/ratchet....if I get a flat at least I have the leverage to slacken them when needed... and I could tighten it back tight enuff till I torque it back to spec....

CS3A_GLX the rear disc is NOT made into the drum...actually it comes out easier than the front rotor....just remove the lower caliper pin then swivel the caliper with the disc pad upwards then take out the rotor, simple....to take out the front rotor u hadda unbolt the entire caliper assembly...

I dunno if there are cross drilled applications for the rear rotors...I think there are u know but I know for sure there are slotted applications available

[CS3A_GLX]

^^^ hmmm from an angle, the rear brakes looks like its joined with the drum! anyhow, what size brake pad or rear brake pad # does it carry? i still have mine from the conversion so incase i need to change em i wanna know the part # !
front n rear caliper looks different size to me

[turbo_beast369]

rear disc pad part # MZ690187

yeah my front caliper wayyy bigger than d rear....

[CS3A_GLX]

oh and u all know diff parts from different makes of vehicles may line up on our lancers? heard ppl say that the rotors and the calipers of mitsu vans can be modified and fitted to a shark mouth galant. if so, what interchangeable stuff is there for our lancers? hyundai or mazda 323 stuff may work!

You see how Insurance does benefit when u take out claims lmfao!!!
The lancer glass cracked and it spreaded very rapidly, so moms took the $4000 winshield claim and carry the car by Double Zee in Gasparillo. Double Zee price was $3000 so the Insurance gets $1000 for themselves to keep.
But still that $3000 is plenty, because last time double zee charged just over $2000 I believe lol.

[turbo_beast369]

was it the OEM windscreen?

or was the brand "Pilkington"

lucky you for four years I had fully comp on my car did not have to change the windscreen and beating the highway everyday

the day after I renewed to third party a stone hit the windscreen and crack the glass

life real sweet yea All I could do is laugh

[zico85]

Ok a couple questions here which i think will benefit everybody

1)How much do u guys pay to change tranny fluid with machine and where?I pay about $700 fluid included.

2)Where is the best place to buy timing belts for the cedia GDI?and the best place to change dem.

3)EVA where did u get those bad ass rotors to buy?and how much for the front?

4)Everybody seems to have experimented with most of the brake pads,now which ones do u guys believe gives the least brake dust?

5)Anybody have a wide selection of LED's locally in a store?

[QG]

I honestly don't know, because is moms who went.
The OEM windscreen would have Mitsubishi Logo on it?

She said the guy asked her what model lancer she got and he went in the back and brought out the screen for her.

[QG]

lol @ ronsin1...things like that happen yes! Just glad it happen to us while on full comp

[QG]

Zico85, to answer number 2 queston is simple...Diamond Motors!!! Once u have the money to put out, I will recommend a Dealership Maintained car.

If not...Federals would be my second best Pick on parts and to get the job done.

[turbo_beast369]

yes it would have the mitsu logo on it
