It had a leak by 2 valves. The evaporator, condensor, dryer needed servicing/cleaning. Had to regas and he put in some nitrogen somewhere. Nitrogen expensive costs about 700.

Any way total job costs about 1400 and im sure that the ac wukkin better than stock now.

Best part is that i got it done on aripita avenue about a stone trow away from where i live.

[R@lli@rt]

awesome ZeroOne! am glad you got it all worked out!

no they are not bad its just good maintenance

[ZeroOne]

JUS4SHO, i see yuh reading de Zero magazine

[kampoon]

Normally we use to source parts from Half cut, because there are more cheaper and most of the items are import from Japan.

Some owner do drive their cars from Malaysia to Singapore for some new parts upgrade, some of the parts might be cheaper because import duty in singapore are cheaper.

show off

but you are right about maintenance, although when it comes to bushings, I adopt a run-till-fail approach,

engine cam and crank seals were changed in teh 100,000km service

believe it or not ppl, Blondie doing 110,000km and I have only changed cradle arm bushings,

I never had cause to change any other suspension parts, every time I take her fo a check, she is all good

alligned twice and cambered once - serious

every time i take her for an allignment, it is good, no need for allignment

even after changing tyres, she never called for allignment

tyres wear evenly

all suspension parts are OEM

I LOVE My MITSU's

as for teh choice of oil @ 116,000km, synthetic

Mobil1 5W-50 or Shell in similar grade

Using the Mobil1 in Blondie since 22,000km till now

I am planing to change my extrator to 4 - 2 -1

here is the pic of my newlly rebuilt extractor (Respray with silver paint)
I am planning to install this extractor soon, take out CAT and replace with a bullet. Am i on the right track ??





Izzit recommended to wrap the extractor with thermal wrap ?

[QG]

Help:

My CS taking a long time to start. It's beginning to get worst, I hear a click sound in the engine bay when I turn the ignition but car would not start
When I keep fiddling the key it would then start up like normal.

I bought a new battery about 2 months and alternator is charging at 14 (the tech guy said that's normal).
Any one experience this problem before?

[QG]

kampoon, your extractor looks good.
I recommend you ask the muffler guy if the extractor should get Thermal wrap.
