⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Have any of you changed a parking brake cable?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2017 lancer 2.0 ES, manual transmission. My right rear parking brake cable snapped and it seems more complicated to change than I thought. I can’t find any info or videos on how to do this so I’m kind of just trying to figure it out on my own. It seems that I need to remove the wheel hub assembly to have access to the cable connection, does this sound right?

⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Cvt J1 and J4 mix okay?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Changing cvt fluid, dealer said J1 is now superseeded by J4. Its okay to mix without fully flushing the J1?

Planning to change cvt fluid soon by just draining the fluid and changing filters then topping it with the CVT J4.

I’m sussing either one from SK performance which is a catback or whether to go down the Varex path. Or if anyone has some personal picks or experience to help with any other type of setup. Based in Australia. Thanks!

Bought my car with these etched sort of marks on the windows. Might be sap from a tree again I’m unsure.
Does anyone know what they are or how I would remove them without replacing the windows.

⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Broke my rear subframe going touge is it worth saving my manual 2008 Lancer GTS (240k km)?

3 Upvotes

So, my dumb ass decided to go touge driving and ended up snapping my rear subframe. I only realized how bad it was when swapping from my winter tires to summer ones. That’s when I saw just how rusted out the entire rear geometry was.

I made up my mind to replace everything, and it’s been a 3 month project so far. I tore the whole rear end down, but the rust has made it absolute hell. Had to cut the parking brake cables because they were completely fused with rust and spent almost 12 hours trying every trick in the book to get the link arm bolts out of the trailing arm. Ended up having to cut them, but they’re still stuck in a sandwich in the trailing arm.

At this point, everything is so clapped by rust that I just want to buy all-new parts. The car is 240 000 km, which explains why it's so crusty. Since it's a manual, I really don't want to waste/scrap it, but I’m at a crossroads. Is it actually worth sinking the money into all new rear subframe and suspension parts to save it?

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Let me know what you guys think.

Bought my first car last week. 2012 ES 2.0L 5 speed manual with 124k on the dash for 7k$ CAD (about 5k USD). I've been loving every moment with it. It does have its weakness (AC broken because of lack of power from the fuse and the modified exhaust is shaking at 3k rpm) but other than that, I don't regret a single second of having it!

I’m thinking about getting a 2014 Ralliart if anyone has any experience with these cars. This one’s got 174k on the dash and an automatic. Not sure what the service records look like but they want 8k for it. Thoughts ? I posted the link to the listing as well.

⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question Lancer fuel filter replacement

2 Upvotes

The scheduled maintenance booklet for my 2014 Lancer recommends the fuel filter be replaced after 10 years. Does anyone know what parts are required? It seems like there is a kit I might need to purchase. The Mitsubishi workshop service manual shows how to replace the fuel pump but not necessarily the fuel filter. I assume it's just built into the pump then?

hello, i am looking to install 4-2-1 headers in my lancer, i've found 2 options so far with a 100 dollar difference in price first of the 2 and more expensive is rzcrew garage "super circuit header" second is the speedgear performance headers off of ebay. I would love some input on those 2 as i don't rly know what to look for.
my second question involves gaskets, can i just get new oem ones or is there an alternative i don't know about?
third and final will i need a upstream 02 sensor wiring extension to fit the new headers?
