Not a good idea giving members help with brakes. If you cant undo a bolt then you more them likely dont have the skill to work on the most important equipment on the car. What a stupid and presumptuous comment. If you've never met a bolt you couldn't budge, then you obviously haven't done much work...

I would be very surprised if they bothered making different lamps, but you could try calling your local Parts and asking.

A good indicator of crash worthiness is always to look at the doors and whether they are distorted.

With that in mind, I don't think I'll be buying a 1959 Bel Air.

Topic: What should a Lancer Sportback factory spoiler look like?
Replies: 11
Views: 7717

Traditionally, sportbacks have followed the same trend as the sedan, i.e:
ES = No spoiler
VR (and ES based special ed's like SX, Activ) = Small spoiler
VRX and Ralliart = Big spoiler (the one in the original post).

Looks like they have just changed the Small Spoiler a bit for the runout models.

Ralliart can't even break traction when you stomp on the pedal, whereas most old 4cyl or 6cyl POS will, but not have ABS etc. Hooray for trying to solve every problem with legislation.

Did this yesterday but.... Changed low beams to BlueVision Ultras...took 5 minutes to change both sides after I figured out I was rotating the socket wrong way for 20 minutes *doh* Some before and after images :) [img:a089ff278f]http://www.clubcj.net/img/images/1371176219_20130612_174948.jpg[/img:a...

Very much like the second photo Mark, it's a pity about the glare but very well framed. This is my car when I picked it up: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/296982_536465563749_90345310_n.jpg And this is what it looks like today: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-a...

I switched to AAMI from NRMA QLD this year. Last year I did NRMA's guaranteed price beat thing and royally screwed them down to less than half their 'competitive' quote. So they sent me a renewal that went up more than double and didn't offer to bring it down. I called up AAMI, because due to having...

Half the parts on any make of car aren't built by the manufacturer, they're still covered by warranty. Most manufacturers don't even make their own transmissions.

Had to be not FWD, 4 doors, good cargo space but not too big. Didn't fancy the WRX. Considered a Liberty STi or Passat R36, but they were getting a bit long in the tooth and if I kept it 5 years it would be 10 years old. So I decided to go with a Ralliart as you could still get one new with good war...

I have mixed feelings about the SST. On the one hand its good for quick and easy gear changes on spirited drives, the next gear is never more than a flick of the finger away. But its take up is awful around town, when you really want to leap out of an intersection and would normally dump the clutch ...
