Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Just trying to get a sense of planning for my mod schedule here. Before I even consider cams ill be doing the exhaust and extractors. Ive done some searches and come up with mixed feelings. Some people have put in just raliart cams and had troubles with excess noise etc, but on the other hand I...

Someone put an aftermarket spoiler on my 96 TE and the problem is that the extra weight makes the boot lid fall down when the car is slightly facing uphill, or if there is a slight breeze. Which is not good if you have kids hanging around who may get their hands caught. Is there something that can...

I am thinking about getting either a Unichip or Powerchip to help my ECU recognise the Ralliart engine. but after talking to a few guys I have been told that I might not get the extra Kw's as advertised. Does anybody know what I can expect 2Kw's or up to 20Kw's I have also been told that my...

Hey guys, i want to get my fuel injectors cleaned. Has anyone here done an ultrasonic cleaning before?Is it worth it or would a bottle of injector cleaners do the trick. The car has done 105,000kms. Is there a good place in Victoria that does ultrasonic for cheap?

Hey guys, just a quick question. looking at new tyres for my TJ VRX Series 2. i have stock VRX rims on there with Grid2 225/50r17s. i have been offered so cheap tyres that are 225/45r17's. is it legal/possible to have this size tyre?? what could happen to handling/speedo if i get them?

Hi, Over the past year I have had a rattling in the front left strut. This was supposedly first fixed when mitsubishi replaced the front left strut. I then put adjustable koni's in there and the noise persisted along with various wheel alignment difficulties. I just had the strut top bearing...

I am changing my fornt bar a bit. 1st I cutting the top end of the fornt bar to get some ground space (will get around 3/4 cm lift) and 2nd I am trying to get a good finish of the wheel arches. Here are before/after picture that I tried to do with photoshop. What do you guys think? The edited...

Hey guys. My exhaust is a decent redback BUT it has 2 mufflers. Is this normal? In fact, the 'first muffler' (that is positioned close-ish to hte front axel) is the part of my exhaust that is too low to the ground! Would it be worth going to a muffler place to get it chopped out and piped?...

Hi to everyone, this is my first post here, I am based at Geelong. I have a few questions here so apologies for the long winded post. I have recently bought a car off a friend that is a 2003 Magna series 2, tiptronic auto which came with the factory gas N01 option (which was a dealer installed...

Hey guys i did the spark plug change in my car TF V6 3lt auto and the o-ring seals around the top of the rocker cover where the spark plug cables goes in were leaking oil in 5 of the 6 cylinders. Oh and should i change my rocker cover gaskets too. Im just wandering how much and where did u...

What kind of max rpm are people normally getting in their 3.5L before cut-out? I've done about 10,000km since new pistons were fitted, and have just recently been able to run out to 7000 rpm on the car's tacho, which is a bit puzzling as I thought the rev limit was set lower than this?

Hi everyone, Well it looks as though I probably need to pull the heads off my 6G72 to see where the water usage is occuring as Ive pretty much replaced everything else. Im planning to do the work myself so are there any hints or tips that you can offer? Ive got my gregory's and just need to buy...

I've been offered a ralliart wing for a very reasable price in the exact colour that is my car. The stock vr-x wing looks good from the side and front but terrible from the back as far as im concerned and i always wanted a ralliart wing. But the more i see pictures of vr-x kits with ralliart wing...

I have a rather stupid question - when you have oversized pistons and rings must you have undersized bearings? I believe that the bearings only need to be undersized if the crank has been machined. The reason I ask is that I am planning on re-ringing my Elante after pulling it down and...

I've seen it thrown around quite a bit, and a few people get new ones. Now, to my understanding, and i could be wrong, is that a TB is the part from your accel pedel to your engine, it tell it how much to rev and how much power to give? yeah..? -ish? Well, some of you may have read that I think my...

Had the local panel beater remove spoiler, respray the boot, and do a cut and polish to remove swirl marks on the rest of the body. Anyway, I mentioned something about the clear coat and he said "There is no clear coat" I said "WTF are you on about", his reply was "it's just a baked enamel...
