Problems, Part Numbers,Tyres, everything really
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 5:02 pm
Hey Guys, got a few different questions here.
First off I have a 1995 Mitsubushi FTO GPX , Manual and non lsd, non abs, non traction control model. It has fully adjustable Tein coilovers and strut brace front and rear. Also am located in QLD / Brisbane.
Engine mounts:
I'm after either all engine mounts or just the 2 lower engine mounts
(depending on price and availability) with either stock or harder hardness not too fussed. Although I do not know the part
number nor where to get them. I've read some of the posts on engine mounts and the site directed at meek seem to be dead links at this time.
CV's:
I'm also after CV Joints/shafts as my both cv's have missing boots the clamps at the end and are ticking quite loudly especially on lock. I read up on them as well finding there are different spline numbers depending on gearbox/lsd. So i'm a bit worried on which to purchase or just get a shop to redo them (although i feel new would be better the shaft/axle nearly fell out completely) when installing the coilovers.
Swaybars/Bushes:
Regarding sway bars, I've called up pedders as theyd advertised having adjustable swaybars but seems they have no supplier that continues doing them, I know whiteline stopped a while ago and was wondering would finding swaybars with greater size/thickness be worth it? Or where to get the correct bushes for them. Since my bushes on the front and rear are worn out.
I have a gr parts car with a blown gearbox but realise the swaybars at least rear ones are smaller/different to the gpx ones.
Tyres/Wheels:
Another thing I read somewhere on the forum was about tyre sizes. Is there any danger in lump hammering the seam?
One set of my wheels has 18 by 7.5 235/40 RE003's which have the same problem (new tyres)
and current wheels are 17 by 8 offset 38 and was thinking of going from 225 or 235 45 on the 17s (evo 8 wheels).
I have the stock wheels but one of the wheels may have a buckle in the rim from previous owner.
Cosmetics/Body:
I also have a fibreglass bonnet (evo styled it looks to be with vents) which is in white but looks patched up and needs the ends where it bolts up properly fixed. Just wondering if its worth doing otherwise looks like just needs to be smoothed out and repainted. I also have a fibreglass Ds/Ts Factory pre facelift front bar which the lip part has been quite badly broken to a stage to keep it on had to cut a part out. I was thinking some ABS plastic underneath like a lip may sort it out get someone to fix with fibreglass (has spider cracks around it too). (Will add pictures soon). Also reccomendations for someone or place who works with fibreglass would be appreciated.
Interior/Aircon:
Along with this, recently what i'm assuming is the aircon vents/directing from outside air/inside air is constantly ticking for a minute. And at times if change to another direction 2 motors sound like they are missing teeth somewhere. I don't use aircon since im sure the compressor is not working but everytime i turn the car on it is there and gets quite distracting. Would pulling it out and moving the gear along help fix the problem?
02 Sensor:
Just checking I'll be needing an 02 sensor since my car runs extremely rich (can smell and tell by the oil) that the part number is 0X204, 4 Wire which would be a 6A12 Galant from places like Supercheap/Autobahn etc?
I've attached a picture with a list from Fulcrum on parts as well (I will not be doing all of them at least at once). The qote was over 3 grand so im looking at slowly doing the major stuff first and some stuff myself or through another place or person locally. A pointer in the right direction in getting parts would be much appreciated.
Thank you and sorry for the extremely long and sporadic read.
