    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?

    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.

    1. yun ang astig duun. hehehe. i'm selfish when it comes to cars. gusto ko ako lang ang may kakayahang magdrive ng sasakyan ko as much as possible.
    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.
