Lawso's project thread

[Astron_Boy]

soooooooooo, your having the brakes done and leaving the engine?

make a list of things need doing.

[aza013]

Sounds good
don't forget I still have the caleper in the truck for you.

[Lawso]

brakes done so i can at least top up the oil and drive her to a mechanics saving me a tow truck ride.

i'm going to order rotors and pads only, and get some brake fluid.

other thangs that i'd like to get done is change all the fluids in the car if possible, oil, gearbox, power steering, coolant, the lot.

[aza013]

Get some raidiator hoses as well mate.

[Astron_Boy]

Get some raidiator hoses as well mate.

Yes!

oil flush
radiator flush
engine oil
trans oil
radiator coolant
high temp silicon
radiator cap
brake fluid dot 4

all I can think of that we discussed before.


So, hang on, what is your car doing at the brake place if you dont have the parts???
or are you getting the parts through them?

[Lawso]

its still in the driveway atm. hasn't moved.

i've re-thought, i'll go get my brake parts off your mate, and bring them back here and do em at home.

i was going to take the car to the brake place to get the rotor and caliper upgrade, but i'm not to sure on it now, i ahve to give your mate another call, or converse via email. if i could get brakes and all that done in a day that would be amazing.

[Astron_Boy]

Easy.

if aza has your other rear caliper, then you have 2 good calipers we can use.
new rotors and pads are a synch.
Easily have the brakes done in a day, and I guarantee, even do a full engine service!


meanwhile, it might be worth changing your spark plugs.... doubt anyone will want to remove your intake mani, maybe just do the front 3... they wear faster anyway.

after we do your brakes, just get your whole car re-aligned.

If it's not raining this weekend I'm free to help.
Oh and Astron_Boy I have your goodies as well

[Astron_Boy]

Oh and Astron_Boy I have your goodies as well

Awesome!
That reminds me, need to pay the piper!


I could do this weekend.. same provisions as Aza, that it isn't raining. (Big pref for Saturday)

[aza013]

Saturday sounds good for me too.
and fingers Xed I have the FTO back.

[Lawso]

saturday is all good for me. just ordered my brakes. or 2 piston calipers, Intima SR6300 pads front, RDA non slotted front and rear, Lucas pads rear.

i'll ring up mitsubishi with the part list and see what they have in regards to hoses. any reccomended spark plugs?

all the other fluids i'll go to supercheap auto for them.
how much of each do i need to buy, and what brand;

- engine oil
- radiator coolant
- brake fluid
- power steering fluid
- transmission fluid

anything else i need? get me a list, and i'l'l go shopping on wednesday

saturday is all good for me. just ordered my brakes. or 2 piston calipers, <wha?
Intima SR6300 pads front, RDA non slotted front and rear, Lucas pads rear. < cool

i'll ring up mitsubishi with the part list and see what they have in regards to hoses. < go repco, ask for galant 6a12 radiator hoses, don't mention the F word!
any reccomended spark plugs? Dunno. NGK BPR6E? (havent serviced a non turbo car in a while)

how much of each do i need to buy, and what brand;

- engine oil <10L, 2 bottles, one cheapo brand, and then some good 20w 50 (castrol gtx2 perhaps)
engine oil flush 1 bottle of this
2 engine oil filters Ryco Z411
- radiator coolant < 5L concentrate (anti boil)
radiator flush, 1 bottle of this
- brake fluid, 1 bottle, dont think they come in more than 800ml?, go motul dot 4
- power steering fluid < 1 bottle... 1L?, dexron 2, I always have trouble finding this...
- transmission fluid < 5L, you may have to buy a 4L and a 1L Castrol TQM-ST
high temp silicon 1 tube
bulk pack wd40 (always useful)
radiator cap... cant remember the model cap.... small one, lol

Maybe air filter? can you check yours Lawso, see how it is?
Air filter part numbers are: K&N: 33-2072/ RYCO: A1318/ Bosch: S 3968/ Mitsubishi: MB906051 (whatever you can get, paper is cheaper...

anything else i need? get me a list, and i'l'l go shopping on wednesday

[Lawso]

twin piston calipers. the ones on the gpx, apparently they're a straight swap from the single piston gr brakes

oh.
didnt know gr's had singles.
good upgrade.


you get the hoses to go with it, or are they the same?

[vipfto]

they are the same

[Lawso]

they're the same. the only thing you have to do is bend the front brake sheilds out of the way coz of the increase in rotor size, thats about it

[Astron_Boy]

Cheers VIP.

Easy to do Ben.,

Edited your list.

Can't think of anything else myself, Aza, or someone else wish to add or change, be my guest.

[Lawso]

does "MD135737" sound about right for engine oil filter?

[Astron_Boy]

That's the old part number

replacement number is MD360935
if your doing a comparison check against ryco or someone else, then either of those numbers will suffice

[aza013]

We can go the the auto shop to get most of the stuff on Saturday if that helps.
Oh and I think 20w50 may be a little to thick, I would go 10w40.
