Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

I'd like to attempt to replace my own timing belt. I have an engine crane, socket tools, car stands etc. Does anyone have a link to, or have any tips on how to go about this? I've replaced a head / timing belt on a mazda b6 motor before, so I have intermediate skills to pay the bills. ...

Hi! Just got my adapter in the mail. Having never pulled my stereo out I'm going in blind, so was hoping to get a bit of information here to minimize the time I have to fiddle with stuff while I'm doing it. Anyone who has put in the adapter - what wires go in which pins? Do you have any...

For anyone wanting to fit a rear spoiler. I bought this on ebay. Its a VE SV6 spoiler which fits perfectly. Just need to get it sprayed next week.

Here is a short step by step guide on how to change your oil on a Mitsubishi 380. Step 1: You will need 1 x Mitsubishi 380 with no warrantee left and a pure resentment for paying 130 dollars for something which takes 20 minutes of your pitiful existence. https://i.imgur.com/c2hKZ.jpg Step...

Hey guys, I'm asking an unusual question because an unusual problem happened to me when I was driving this morning...my rear view mirror snapped off :s No clue as to why, but it snapped on the pivot point that's on the bracket that's somehow stuck to the window. Does anyone know how to...

Hi Guys, Since buying the 380 vrx I've had this weird sound which seems like it is coming from the rear right of the car (drivers side rear) when i turn hard left. It sounds a little like when you have springs that aren't seated correctly. Has anyone had a similar issue in their 380? I'm trying...

I bought my 380 from a dealer on the gold coast, and I've had it now for about 3 months and just had it serviced. I had my mechanic check it over and he brought to my attention that the timing belt (alternator belt etc also worn out) has not been replaced and the car now has 131000kms on the...

SO I get in the car tonight and the fan has stopped working, I can hear the click of a relay or similar, but no air....THis is the interior fan, not the radiator fan Any ideas anybody?

Had an intermittant rattle from under the car for some months. Half way to my exhaust guy couple of weeks ago it went a way. Now its back and I'm wondering if its a baffle plate or the cat? Sounds like a pebble in a tin.

Hey y'all, Anyone know the max clearance for wheels at the rear for us 380 owners? Is 9.5" gonna be too much? Interested in buying rims off a member on AMC - fronts are 8" and then a scary 9.5" for the rear. Physicx

My cruise control is not much chop at keeping to the set speed when going downhill, with a grade of any more than 2 or 3 degrees. It will close the throttle most of the way but not all the way, and the car will pick up speed unless I hold the CC wand all the way down. Same as you do to reduce...

Hi All Had a gut full of the usual poor build quality of both Falcons and crunchydores and purchased a first registered Aug 2007 380 SX series 2 with 77k on the clock. Great car and leaves the others for dead in fit and finish. My question is the extended warranty as per the warranty hand...

Hey guys, Just found this site, hopefully it hasn't been posted before. It's got a shedload of information on the 380 - more than I've seen anywhere before. https://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_105236/title_Mitsubishis-AllNew-Sporty-380-Sedan-Launched/newsarticle.html If there's someone who...

Hey people. The lights on my shifter (P, R, N & D) are being very temperamental about when they light up. Sometimes they will, other times they won't. The + and - for the tiptronic lights do work though.. Any ideas?

Hi! I want to tell You how I did fangs on his 9G. The last time my car looked like. https://s43.radikal.ru/i100/1104/f3/b879260d6b92.jpg Already passed the one year since I bought this car. I wanted to make changes in design. I bought the fangs from a Lancer X from ABC plastic. Here they are....

Hey, I remember reading on these forums a while back about people thinking about going the turbo route but than going with the supercharger as it was cheaper and easier. Does anyone remember or know how much a custom turbo set up on a 380 would cost? (my guess is around $6K.. but thats just a stab...

Cheers. Sean.

Does anyone know exactly whats going on in the diagrams? I think I've got this, just want to double check before I start a fire. Pin numbers and colours line up if you are looking along the wire into the back of the plug it seems. https://picturestack.com/960/2/pKQNewBitmapIL2b.th.jpg edit:...

Might sound really stupid, but how/can you close the air vents in a 380? I want to close the one on the drivers side. In our ASX you put the vent to the down position, then flick it off to the right. Not so the case with the 380.

Hey guys I would like to know what the gear change is that happens between 50 - 60km/h. It happens in both auto & tippy mode. I thought that it wouldn't happen in tippy but still does the change over even though I didn't initiate it. Hopefully other 380 owners out there noticed the same thing?...
