The Best OEM Wheels? Refitting the Magna Ralliart's Stock Enkei Wheels with New Tyres!

Рет қаралды 13,482

Жыл бұрын

In this episode we're making things right, by putting the stock-standard OEM wheels back onto the Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart - a set of beautiful 17" Enkei wheels! These wheels are almost identical to what was available on the Lancer Evolution VII, but with slightly less offset to better suit the Magna's hub positions in relation to the body.
To top it off, I've also had them fitted with my favourite tyres of the moment - a set of 235/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. #motoringbox

I know sometimes back when people used these ralliarts for racing/rally the stock wheels small offset would hinder turning on some courses so they'd get wider offset wheels The only reason stock offset wheels weren't great for hard-core tarmac rally back then is because Mitsubishi kept offset small so it complied with ADR so it could be road registered During this time teams sold parts they didn't use or misplaced it meaning they couldn't revert it when selling

@dodgeviper89 Жыл бұрын

Other thoughts - If you want to keep the OEM look and gain some width/offset, Evo 7 wheels are the same design with that extra width and poke. RE: timing belt, there's a tensioning tool you can get off ebay you'll need for the adjustment pulley. very handy to have. regarding parts, nothing wrong with a dayco kit, but buy the cam/crank seals genuine Mitsubishi. It's just worth the piece of mind for a few extra dollars. Distributor O ring is likely leaking as they all do, so when I do timing belts I usually just do a whole top end refresh. Dizzy O ring, cam block off plate O ring on the front head, aswell as your rocker cover gaskets plugs/leads etc. Can be daunting but as long as you have the workshop manual handy you'll be sweet, you obviously know your way around cars so you'll be fine

Wheels look great! I put the 6g75 into my old magna (was only a 3.0L 6g72 though) and the difference was phenomenal, however you do lose some of that originality as the Ralliart motors are unique to the rest of the Magnas. Depends how strict you are on keeping it original/authentic. When you do the timing belt, make sure you get the full kit with tensioners and water pump, Dayco sell it as a complete kit, can't go wrong.

Enjoying the resto immensely. So glad you are keeping it pretty much stock. I feel if restoring a classic, always best to keep it as close to as possible how it left the factory. Love the wheels, I have silver factory wheels on my Mustang and the Silver makes the car pop. Black wheels just get lost, don’t draw the eye to the car in my opinion. Looking at those wheels they look like the same pattern as the Mustang. Next time you see one, take a look, see if you agree. As for the timing belt I say no driving, but hey your car. But the car will only be original with that engine, so 3.8 as a last resort! As I said on previous comments, I’m a Mighty Magna Fan, a much unrecognised Aussie Built Car, would be great that a future owner will appreciate that little bit of Aussie Auto History and keep it well loved so future generations can see what Aussie car builders once were able to design and build. Can’t wait for the( expensive) paint job.

I don't know about Australia, especially your specific state - but in NZ, they can only fail you on an inspection for exhaust if it is leaking or noisy. Now, that doesn't mean you won't get inspectors that see your tin can and think they can fail you on it regardless what the rules say (I had a guy try to fail me for a small bit of surface rust on the top of the boot lid once, despite it being both non-structural & smaller than the allowable area - fortunately his Boss agreed with me - and another guy tried to fail me on a non-existent wheel bearing noise - I ended up having to get a qualified mechanic to sign off that there was nothing wrong with the wheel bearing on that one - also had a guy fail me on worn brake pads once - accepted his word only to find the pads were less than half worn once I got the wheels off - complained about it as it cost me $70 in brake pads I didn't need, and an hour of my time replacing them - but never heard anything back - bad thing would be for a non-mechanical person being failed would have had to pay a few hundred bucks to a mechanic for unnecessary work) Best thing to do is know the rules before you go and be willing to argue if you believe you are being hard done by.

Because you own the vehicle already a mobile safety certificate guy will pass it no problems. They are supposed to drive it with that box hooked up that measures the braking performance. Some will just make up some percentages. Check list. 1. Wipers an washers working. 2. Reverse light particularly because it is for saftey not to see an all other lights. 3.seat belts. 4.no airbag warning light. 5. Degease the motor for oil leaks, an get safety certificate when it is cold incase the oil leaks show up. 6. If the exhaust doesn't leak, just paint over the mother can with black paint. There not allowed to poke screwdrivers or anything into potential rust issues. As long as there are no rust stains visible it will pass. Plenty of dodgy safety certificate guys around your area. One of them will pass it without driving it.
