    Dear AL Community, Got to know that a rusty non-running J24 was for sale. Went there with a carrier and took it home. 1978 Mitsubishi 4DR5 J24 Rusty body (specially the passenger compartment), Chassis seems to be okay. Engine runs, issues in gear box. There's no such thing as brakes. 4 x 4 done vehicle with provision for mechanical winch. No canopy, but 2 door and the rear door seems fine. Got 4 alloys wheels. So I'm thinking of converting this machine to Automatic Transmission. (I know this is not a popular thought - but I'm ready to take the risk) Any suggestions on possible auto gearbox combinations? Engine is a 4DR5. If engine + auto gearbox combo needs to be replaced, what are my options? (We have a J44 with 4x4, Mechanical winch - My father's daily driver. I love to drive a 4DR5, but I'm not skilled or patient enough to drive a Manual in Colombo city where I have to drive on a daily basis.) Thank you all in advance, Lasindu. #4DR5 #Conversion #Manual_to_Auto #Automatic #4x4 #J24 #short_wheel #Mitsubishi

    Hello @Upamal, I'm interested in knowing what you end up doing with regard to your Corolla 110? (i) Did you proceed with the conversion and turned your manual 110 into an automatic one? (ii) Sold the manual 110 and ended up purchasing a car with automatic transmission on it?

    During the search I came across another car as a suggestion and it pushed me to search deeper in AL. Another fun and very questionable topic where both @iRage and @matroska happen to have commented about. I will see you there!

    Dear @iRage and @matroska - Thank you very much for your time and valued opinions. Given that all the cars in this list is on average 25 years old, I think I should keep at least 300K for immediate repairs and replacements. That combined with your comments and my inexperience with cars in general, I'm going to drop Galant and Accord. As Carina sits in between, I'm not going to drop it just now. Trying my luck in finding a decent specimen. From Lancer, Civic and Familia; I'm focusing on Familia as the argument on most Lancers and Civics either poorly used or modified very badly or used by wanna be racers is very hard to exclude. I don't want to start hating the thought of owning a car simply because of that. On final thoughts, putting more effort on Familia and keeping my eyes open for a Carina too. Thanks again for you two and everyone else on AL for running something like this forum. Cheers!

    Dear Members of the AutoLanka Community, I'm looking to buy my FIRST car for daily driving. My budget is 3.0 million. My purchasing timeline is November - December, 2023. Here's my expectation; (i) Fuel: Petrol (ii) Transmission: Automatic (iii) Engine Capacity: 1500 - 1800 cc (iv) Acceptable fuel consumption in city traffic (v) Moderate maintenance costs and spare parts availability (vi) Love youthful/sporty looks but I'm not a fan of speed. I'm looking at Mitsubishi and Honda as manufacturers. Category 1 -> Mitsubishi Lancer CK2 vs. Honda Civic EK3 Category 2 -> Toyota Carina vs. Mazda Familia Category 3 -> Honda Accord vs. Mitsubishi Galant These are very popular topics in AL, so if you come across an informative thread(s); please be kind enough to past the link(s) here. Thank you in advance for your time and your effort in keeping this community and forums alive. Your comments and genuine opinions are highly appreciated.
