[chindian88]

Hey guys,got a ck2 lancer...gonna change the rear shocks later tis month,currently I have kyb's installed,but im getting the monroe brand to buy.
Anyone has any reviews as to how these monroe shocks perform? Or should i jus stick with the kyb?

if you go through with it let me know how it works out. i currently have kyb's as well.

where can i get an oil drain plug to buy for 4g15 engine?

[Bareback]

wha gwan people!?!? I have a 2005 Mitsu lancer 1.6L 4g18 Engine. what i want to know is what are the best spark plugs to use, cause i change mine back in May and i believe them things dun burn out already (Used NGK's basic set). I have to check my coils but i want ta make sure that the right grade a plug was used first so help me out fellas, please!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

What kinda driving you doing? I running iridium with a K&N drop in filter and she running good, even on Super, on the highway. If you not doing highway like me go platinum, you get better overall performance and fuel efficiency.

When i changed my oil drain plug I got a replacement one at Union Auto. As for the shocks it think i'll go ahead an try the Munroe.

Question:

I am having problems with my indicator switch in my 2005 CS3 Lancer. When its in the turn right or left position its sometimes doesnt light up or would light with the ticking sound and just stop. Also, my park lights would be on and it would flicker and blink or jus come off while in the 'park light position'. My indicator switch I need urgently!!!! Can't be changingb lanes on you guys and turning without indicating. In the Classifieds I posted that I wanted one to buy. I am getting one from a CS2.
What I want to know is if the CS2 indicator switch will work on my CS3.

My vehicle tint is ripped in places and looks terrible. I would like to remove all of it myself. Can anyone recommend any tools/liquids/solutions I can use to make this task easier? Is there any way to get rid of that sticky residue off my windows after I remove the tint?

for real?!?!?!? i thought all dem spark plugs did the same job with the only difference being durability/ longevity. and you say the K&N Filters are better too, well i'll have ta try to get all of them tings and see for myself cause right now i getting about 400-420km per tank of gas.

Nope used 10w30 oil as i've always been using changed the brand though, last time i used a generic brand (not sure of the name) but this time i used Shell Helix. The thing is it was already making some noise, which my mech said was from the lifters but it just seemed to get louder but since then it has gotten quiet again.

I know of two places that sell Mitsubishi parts, Specialist Auto and Diamond Motors. Anybody knows where else I can get parts for Mitsubishi, specifically the Pajero IO?

hey guys dumb question here: what kind of transmission fluid does the lancer cs3a model use. the reason i'm asking is because i friend of mine has an older model lancer and says he can't use just any transmission fluid but a special one (can't remember the figures). wen i contacted the dealer he wouldn't give me the grade but told me they sell it at EC $150.00 per 4 quart bottle.

[BrotherHood]

^^^CVT ATF.
The CVT type transmissions in the CS Lancers require a special type of transmission fluid. Any other transmission fluid you buy, you will run into problems so IMO, buy from Diamond Motors. I always buy transmission fluid for my CS there.

[rollingstock]

BrotherHood de man location is St. Lucia dan, how yuh go tell him go DM?

fwape the fluid for the cvt is DiaQueen ATF-J1, if it's not cvt use teh DiaQueen SPlll

Fellas thanks alot for the info, meant to say that sooner but only got the chance now. Question though, would either of the fluids you listed really matter in realtion to if it is CVT or not? I called the local dealer (JQ Motors) and they told me it is CVT but did not tell me the brand of fluid for whatever reason at $150+ per 4quart bottle, is that a good price or am i getting ripped off by the dealer?
