Does anyone know if a TR-TS gearbox will fit a into a TN ?

Hi guys wondering if any one has lowered there first gen? If so how did you go about it snd what is available? I only want to do the fronts I have an 88 se wagon. Thanks in advance

Coming up to rego again, and I'm not sure the tyres will pass this time - I'm having a look around at 2nd hand rims - hard to find 4-stud rims these days (everything is 5). Are most 4-stud rims similar standard, or are they all different? Should I just consider any mitsu rims like Lancer to fit?

hi all, still have my wagon, still driving it every day, but it's getting worse for wear, It's been a great car. Am leaving Australia for a while and not worth it to store or sell (rwc) if anyone wants it for parts let me know, instead of it getting scrapped let me know, located in tugun...

The windscreen trim, at the top of the windscreen got whipped off at 110 ks on the Hume, coming into Melbourne. Didn't stop and get it as a few cars ran right over the top of it. C'est la vie. As a couple of the plastic retaining clips are busted, can new ones be fitted without removing the...

TP_Wagon back again, trying to diagnose another issue. 2.6 EFI auto. This time I've got a hesitation that only occurs under load at around 1500rpm. The car bucks around that point. If you fall below that or push beyond shes fine. Tried it whilst in idle, no signs of the "hesitation". ...

Hey all, I live in Perth, WA. I used to have a 1989 TN Magna 5 spd, which I bought for $500 a year ago. It wasn't in the greatest condition body wise when I bought it, but after some time and money, I got it looking to an alright standard :) I had huge plans for it, until I sold it (very...

I need to get a replacement radiator for my TM but all the ones available on ebay don't have the vertical brace on the back to fix the two fans to. Have you replaced your radiator with one of these ebay ones and if so what did you do about mounting the fans? Tools

After telling "TPWagon" that I had plenty of experience with overheating, I received more unwanted experience on Wednesday. I have put a lot of work into the TP efi sedan that I bought at the end of September. The final few things were finished last week and I was pleased at having it completely...

Well, I thought I'd fixed the car earlier, but I either didn't or I've got a new problem! The engine is now stalling randomly every 2-3 days. Usually happens whilst driving mostly whilst coasting.I turn it over and over and it won't fire, even with the acc pedal to floor. But after waiting 5-10...

When I bought my TP Magna new in 1991, I didn't have air-conditioning fitted as, although I could afford the car, I couldn't afford the extra for air-conditioning (which, if I recall correctly, was around $1,300). The car does, as you would expect, get very hot in the summer. Opening the...

Hi guys,just a quick question....A TP Elite wagon...how much fuel do they hold? I just got the sending unit repaired and I'm just getting an idea of how accurate (for a magna anyways!) the gauge is. I don't know how this figure got in my head but I thought it was just under 60? It took 52litres to...

Hi guys,just an idea I might try and after thoughts or inputs....I just fitted a TR engine to my TP,nice and quiet,even at start up with the ratchet tensioner! Now I have the original TP engine which is a decent old engine,except for the flogged chains,guides and oil pump bore where the tensioner...

Anyone know if the 6A12 2.0 V6 24 Valve DOHC motor from HJ Galant will fit 1st gen magna's. Know of them being put into Early to Mid 90's Lancers which have the 4G63 that will fit the Magna 1st gen mostly the 4G63T has been put into a couple of Magnas. Not sure if you would have to use the Galant...

Hi all,just thought I'd share my experience with these pads. I put a set on the rear of my TP wagon,the discs were machined,getting thin but within limits. These pads were noisy,took ages to try and settle them in,also they were very very dusty compared to the Girling front pads I have. I pulled...

Not quite a first-generation Magna, I know. The 4-door Eterna CS Hardtop was sold new in New Zealand from 1986 to 1988 and quite rare on our roads these days, so finding any information or part for them is becoming increasingly difficult. They were all powered by the 4G64 2351cc ECI-Multi engine...

Hi guys,I'm going to remove my power steering reservoir and replace the supply and return hoses since they're pretty old and stiff,and there's a small weep from one. After I clean out the reservoir etc can I use Dexron 111 to fill it up? It's just that I have some Nulon Dexron here and won't be...

Hi All, I have owned a 1990 TP EFI magna for a number of years, having it passed down to me from a relative. Over the years, it has gone through a fairly extensive overhaul and has even had the engine replaced with a BRAND NEW motor we found in the back of a car shop, still in original...

Hi guys,first of all thanks for all the great info on this site,it really made the job much easier. I basically stripped the complete front end and rebuilt her. New struts,ball joints,replaced lower control arm where ball joint flogged out its press fit,new discs,stubs,bearings,driveshafts,all the...

Hi every one,While I have my TP apart to fit the new engine I decided to replace the ball joints,(the rubber boots are badly torn and I had a new set here anyways). The passengers side control arm was flogged out where the ball joint presses in so I grabbed a secondhand arm. Before I start putting...
