Welcome mate, to a forum with active members. Glad your finally posting on here!

I'm over Cordia forums also, Cordia freaks is dead and Cordia power has (literally) the shitest Admin/Mod team in existence.

[bitza]

Thanks Koray........hopefully I can learn and contribute to Mitsubishi issues.

[SIVART]

4GTUNER needs a Cordia area like GSR EVO etc

Welcome mate, car looks really really neat. I have a good mate who used to own a very very nice Cordia, they certainly have alot of character.

Where'd you get your exhaust manifold from? and the 2.3 DOHC on the rocker cover is very cool, haven't seen one with that before.

[bitza]

The exhaust manifold is a ramhorn from America, it's to suit an eclipse and I had to shorten it by 1 inch to clear in the cordia bay..........I got it off Clay from Speedclinic many many years ago .......the 2.3 badge is actually an aftermarket "stick on" plastic version..........you just buy the letters or numbers individually.

Here is my "other" project............it's an 86 AC Cordia which I will fully restore to factory condition.



Console repaired:



Boot welded and painted:



Dashboard restored from this:





To this:



Have many other "tricks" to ensure parts look new.

Does anybody on here give a shit about the cordia?...........maybe this site should be re-named to the EVO-GSR site..............so much for the "mitsubishi enthusiast community"..............I own a 4G to you know!!!!!

[TMAK]

Lol Andrew... Yes, there are people interested in Cordia's here...
Especially with a monster Cordia like yours!

It's Tim BTW (FRONTN on cordiapower).

How do you like the ramhorn style manifold? Did you ever have a standard shape mani on before it for comparison? Think I'll be following in your footsteps and going for the 2.3L stroker kit in my Evo motor at the end of this year. Speaking of...how hard is it for you to find traction 1st to 3rd?

Its smokincordia by the way.

[bitza]

The ramhorn flows a hell of a lot more than the standard unit............basically I had an adapter plate on the VR4 manifold which I didn't like, better off getting a T3 style manifold to reduce gaskets.

Traction is another issue...........the cordia box is low geared causing excessive wheel spin with huge torque output, but equal length drive has cured the torque steer problem, I'm now just waiting for the box to blow, this will allow installation of the KM206 I have waiting on the floor.





Cheers,
Andrew.

Clean box, thats what he said!

Cordia power has (literally) the shitest Admin/Mod team in existence.

I agree about the admin, but reguarding your dig at the moderators.

Eat a dick my friend.
