  1. Here's an another video then. Warning: Not as sexy as the white one, terrible terrible rims and the paint needs work. Ignore the guy .
  2. Its 140mm according to this (2WD variants) https://toyota.jp/pages/contents/c-hr/001_p_006/pdf/spec/c-hr_spec_201910.pdf Not sure if that is with the bodykit or not
  3. Did you sell the Allion? ?
  4. Ahh, so that's why Lancer EXs weren't imported post-2007 ?
  5. You could get a Galant - she's the sexiest one on your list imo, just look at this white beauty @Sierra Charlie owns one, he should know about spare parts availability
  6. Our traffic police should use decibel meters on individual vehicles, there are vehicles running with aftermarket horns which sound like a train
  7. I'm all for gender equality and everything but that line of thinking is better left for the womenfolk imo
  8. We coulda used an opinion of a chick right about now What a pity AL is a one big sausage fest ? even ElaKiri has one or two regular clams
  9. Get some functional mudguards... I made some big ass mudguards using a rubber carpet, and they've done a wonderful job stopping tar splatters on the car body so far.
  10. I saw a conversion kit being sold for relatively low 750k bucks, reckon there are many sleeper conversions running around
  11. It seems he has confused the GTO/3000GT VR4 with the Galant VR4
  12. There was a complete VR4 conversion kit (engine, gearbox) for sale on the quick site for Rs. 750,000 - its sold now
  13. It seems you're gonna need a jump or a new 12V battery
  14. There were 2 videos, apparently only one has been linked, just linked the other one. That's how your guy did it right? Taking off the bearings and cutting the part held by a c-clip internally instead of using a slide hammer/ CV joint puller or a hydraulic press.
  15. So I did a google search on this CV axle dilemma, here's what I came across so far: Trinity was absolutely correct when he said "Apparently replacing just the CV joint is not on the agents books". Here's what the workshop manual says: "As for the EBJ assembly, only the EBJ boot can be replaceable, and other parts cannot be disassembled." As you can see the inner CV joint can be replaced rather easily and since it is "in the book", the agent might be doing it too. Replacing the outer CV joint, or the "EBJ" as the workshop manual calls it, is not recommended by the manufacturer. This isn't an issue exclusive to the Lancer, same outer CV joint design is employed in many cars. It seems that the outer CV joint replacement isn't a common job anyways, atleast in Sri Lanka. If the outer CV joint goes bad the entire CV axle is almost always replaced with a reconditioned or "Thaiwan" one. Unfortunately for us EX owners however, either of those are not very feasible, as @trinity has experienced. The outer joint for the EX is easily found on eBay (link above) but you'll have to find a technician who is willing to do the job. However, it seems that you don't have to cut the joint off the axle if you have the correct tools or the experience: CVJ/EBJ removal explanation: https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2181123 Hydraulic press method: Cutting method: CV joint puller tool: So what I learned from @trinity's experience is that we should check the CV boots more often... Thanks again for sharing, mate! Starting today, I'll be taking a good hard look at the CV boots atleast once a week ? probably each time I wash the car.
  16. See, it costs about 12k. Made in Germany too. (0410-CY2) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282065505624
  17. What a tale @trinity!! Why didn't you try the Ebay route though?
  18. You know my methods
  19. I never guess, my dear watson; that's my exceptional observational skills at work ?
  20. Couldn't you find some bigger images? Anyhoo, at a glance, right one on both pics are from the game
