Replaced two coilpacks that were giving me a misfire, had to test resistance to find which ones.

Just chasing a new stepper motor, where is the best place to buy them? There's a lot of different ones on aliexpress and ebay - not sure which one..
I bought this one recently. Works fine.

Clutch master has now been changed, bled and adjusted.

What a c**t under the dash.

Well worth it though.

Sweet. I managed to track down the other one of mine, I suspect that's what they are anyway. Still haven't gotten them wired up, lol.

Thanks I appreciate it, I assume you've gone through a lot of these with tuning?

Do you know where to get leads cheap?

I'm trying to sort a slight misfire under load (low rpm 2nd gear)

Hey Jim,
Just thought I’d let you know that this stepper Mitsubishi number doesn’t match the FTO, in-case you are still having idling issues.

Well seems FTO is going okay now.

Everything actually works! except for a slight erratic idle.

Wheel alignment shop found out that my rear toe adjustment nuts were chewed out and replaced them for me, the toe used to just wander about previously so that's sorted and the car feels a lot more planted.

I'm not sure what the plan is for it now, I'd rather rack up 500kms a week in the FTO than the EVO, but im only getting 500kms to a tank in the FTO...

One car has gotta go - also new house better garage :twisted:

Definitely sell EVO while the market is strong, you’d be cutting your losses selling the FTO and someone will f**k it.
My ZR6 Aurion goes through a quarter of a tank a day, just have to live with it. Or buy a Cube lol

Yeah the EVO does seem to hold its value at the moment, I will need to do some light servicing and refurbish the wing if I sell it.

Lol I read reviews on cube they say that it has really bad wind noise on the highway and no seat bolsters so u just slide around lol.
