Hey mate
Welcome to the club

Nice fto you have there (:

Do you need a rwc do you?
First things I can see is make sure that pod filter is connected to the body and doesnt move around, an airbo or shield may be a good idea
And check those brakes (:

But for a first car its nice
My gpx was my first car too lol

eventually i will need a rwc but needs a lot of work first, new water pump is priority, it pisses like a pregnant woman while running.
And thanks for the warm welcome :D

Well ive done some research and it looks like a bitch to do, but i will at least try, first thing is to get a new one, probably get one from ebay.
Any advice for replacing water pump?

You won't find a stock one anywhere but Mitsubishi or Amayama. And will cost way too much.

Hence why most people buy aftermarket.

It's not so much the task that's difficult. It's just a pain in the ass with the amount of room available with the engine in the car.

G'Day Chebus, WTTC :D

Looks like you have got a bit of fun ahead.

Just a thought Vectose....
Remember when we did your timing belt and found one of your cam pulleys to be out by a tooth, so we corrected that with the new belt...
"Yes Phil"
Maybe this is the cause of your random tap noise.....Maybe the rear pulley wants to be one tooth to the rear of the car.
"Hmmmm, good point there Phil, what made you think of that after all this time"
I dunno, just came to me :lol:

Timing belt kit should come with the idler pulley, tensioner, belt and seals.

Water pump comes with the required gasket, you will also need to apply a high temp sealant to both sides of the gasket.
