i got this old schooler from my neighbor's cousin in law who'll be leaving for New Zealand. engine is in excellent condition since the previous owner is a Mitsu mechanic... un nga lang...body is a mess... my question is...


Nakapanood ba kayo ng triple x?... hindi yung bastos ha...Vin Diesel version po.
Ganda kasi ng kulay ng oto nya duun...i like it. gusto ko sana screen capture yung car kaso walang kuha duun na maganda...camera shy.
kaso i'm really a noob in detailing especially painting and body repair... maybe you can help me guys choose the most preferrable shop for this kind of ride.. para mapag ipunan na din...

also ...gusto ko rin makakuha ng service manual nito... i know this car is older than me...pero nagbabakasakali lang po.

and... any forums for this kind of ride?

[umzzzzz]

Here's couple more:

[smooth]

that's my first car (shows my age.) nice car pero have to tell you, prone yan to overheating. i stumbled upon a lancer '79-ish forum a while back pero hindi ko na maalala. search mo na lang.

i was able to push that old lancer '79 past 150kph dati. some things to consider:
1. ang hirap ng reverse nyan - kelangan i-turok mo pa then shift to lower left side. you have to get the hang of it.
2. prone to overheating - try to look for a clutch fan. yan ang significant development ng sumunod na model (box-type lancers) dati: yung clutch fan.
3. okay pa ba ang dashboard? yung dashboard namin dati kasi nag-warp na dahil sa tagal na nakabilad sa araw
4. walang remote trunk open. nowadays, nakakainis yan pag papasok ka sa mall parking at kelangan buksan ang trunk para sa guard
5. naka-timing chain yan. kaya no matter what you do, medyo maingay talaga ang makina.
6. no power steering. sanayan lang.
7. naalala ko pa nung nasira ang wiper ko. may bilog na puting plastic kasi na nagkakabit ng wiper sa wiper motor. laging natatanggal itong bilog na plastic na ito. one time malakas ang ulan, biglang bumigay ang wiper ko. ang hirap magmaneho.
8. if you want to restore to showroom state, mayron dapat tray under the glove compartment (parang yung mga letter in-box o outbox sa office). one time nagmamaneho ako nang biglang may nag-cut na bisikleta sa akin. napaapak ang GF ko bigla sa sahig. ayun, warak ang tray hehehe

yun lang naaalala ko ngayon. pero happy ako diyan sa lancer. brings a lot of happy memories btw, our lancer is still running. its currently in the province and is actually in good running condition.

try mo alfred motor works. sa kamias yung shop nya. medyo mahal ang singil pero pulido gawa. meron din sya mga nai-restore na lumang mga sasakyan. maselan yun sa detalye ng kaha kaya lapat na lapat kahit deformed ang body panel.

[impulzz]

learned to drive in one of those... medyo mahirap na mga trim parts nyan pero.

[umzzzzz]

Hi, thanks sa replies... also... i'm not familiar with mitsu engine names...heheh... ang madalas ko kasi marinig dati ay PH12, B16A at DB15 (galing po kasi ako sa honda na oto) can you please help me on a list of engines that can fit inside this car...TIA

2. ok...i will try to watch for that.
3. yes, dahboard is in good condition, lapat na lapat pa.
4. hmmm...pwede cguro lagyan ito ng cable to improvise.
5. ayus lang. as long as it's always in good timing.
6. sanay na rin ako kasi 1st family car is a colt mirage. tas last car ko is a stock honda eg hatchback...both came in with pawis steering.
7. eto ang mahirap cguro...the minute particles of the car.
8. sir hindi ko magets ito.

ang makina nyan either SATURN or NEPTUNE (yes ganun ang tawag sa mga makina dati). yung saturn engine ang makina ng L-type na lancer. (ang L-type ay isa sa mga paborito ng mga karerista dati.)

yung sa power steering maninibago ka talaga. yung mirage kasi at honda, front wheel drive na. yang lancer na yan ay rear wheel drive. mas mahirap mag-maneuver kapag rear wheel drive na walang power steering. anyway, parang work-out na din yan for you

i'm not trying to discourage you. just giving you my own experiences with driving my old lancer for quite some time. that is a good car and has served me well. (like i said, ginagamit pa din ito sa probinsiya where it is currently located now.) at nakaaabot na din sa baguio ang dating lancer ko. naalala ko pa nang mag-short ang alarm ng lancer sa baguio (baka dahil sa lamig). diskargado kaagad ang battery.

as for the tray: may tray (o parang shelf) sa ilalim ng glove compartment ang mga lancer na yan. lawanit o parang cardboard ang material. mabilis kasi masira to dahil tumatama nga sa binti ng nakasakay sa front passenger seat.

[impulzz]

the philippine version of that lancer used the 1.4 Astron 80 engine as i remember, the L-type before it used the 1.6 saturn engine, neptune engines were used in the Cimaron, lolo ng L300fb.

[umzzzzz]

ahhh...ok ok...gets ko na ung tray sa may ilalim ng glove compartment...may ganun nga din ang mirage namin...tas ung sinaskayan kong L300 na shuttle may ganun din.

heheh.eh mga sirs, ano naman po ung mga 4g something something na tawag sa makina ng mga mitsu's???

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mitsubishi_engines

"Mitsubishi engines designed since 1970 use a four-digit naming convention:

* The first (digit) signifies the number of cylinders; "2" = straight-2, "3" = straight-3, "4" = straight-4, "6" = V6, "8" = V8.
* The second (letter) formerly referred to the fuel type; "D" = diesel, "G" = gasoline. However, since the 1980s, this has changed. Two engine families were introduced using the letter "A" to denote that all the engines in the family had an alloy cylinder head. Their latest engines, however, do not follow any previous conventions (e.g. 4M4x, 3B2x, etc).
* The third (digit) previously denoted the engine family. Five of the "4Gxx" straight-4 engine families had distinct names; "4G1" = Orion, "4G3" = Saturn, "4G4" = Neptune, "4G5" = Astron, and "4G6" = Sirius.
* The fourth (digit) is the specific engine model within the family. It is not a guide to its place within that family, nor is it a guide to the capacity of the engine.

There may also be supplementary letters after the initial four characters. "T" can indicate that the engine is turbocharged (e.g. 4G63T), "B" that this is the second version of the engine (e.g. 4G63B). Where engine codes are used which include the supplemental letters, the first digit denoting the number of cylinders may be omitted, so 4G63T may be seen as G63T.

nice... thanks Sir impulzz for the info.

...and then i found myself so dumb..pwede pala i-wikipedia hehehe

[wakin]

afaik, mabigat ang steering nyan. kung meron power steering na available dyan mas maganda pakabitan mo.
