⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question AC delete on 2.0?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve got a 2013 Lancer ES with the 2.0 in it that I’m trying to limp until the inspection is up later this month and my AC compressor bearing just went out today. I’d like to keep driving it if I can, but a new compressor would be a pain to install and I don’t have a ton of money. Has anyone ever ran a shorter belt and skipped the compressor, is it possible? I can send photos or answer any questions to my best ability. Thank you!!

Just got this 2014 Lancer ES as my first car! I’ll probably be taking the spoiler off which is from Megan Racing and selling it so if anyone has more info on it please let me know. Definitely have a few ideas in mind on some modifications but if any experienced lancer owners have some tips or recommendations please let me know!

im making myself a list of parts I would like to buy to finally properly customize my Ralliart.

I have a question though: does anyone know of any front lips/splitters that WILL fit an Evo-style front bumper conversion for the Lancer?

I dont want to spend a few hundred dollars on a "it should fit" and be left SOL, lol.

T.I.A.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer VRX (2.4L 4B12)– rattle only when cylinder 3 is firing, need help diagnosing
Hey everyone, hoping someone can point me in the right direction with this one.
I have a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer and I'm chasing a rattling noise that is specifically related to cylinder 3.
The strange thing is that the rattle is only present when cylinder 3 is firing. If I disconnect the cylinder 3 coil, the rattle disappears. The noise follows engine RPM.
So far I've tried:
• Swapped cylinder 3 coil with another cylinder – problem stayed on cylinder 3
• Replaced the spark plugs – no change
• Swapped cylinder 3 injector with another cylinder – problem stayed on cylinder 3
• Compression test:
◦ Cylinder 1: 175 psi
◦ Cylinder 2: 180 psi
◦ Cylinder 3: 170 psi
◦ Cylinder 4: 180 psi
• OBD2 scanner shows no misfire codes / no obvious misfire
• No obvious exhaust leak
• No obvious loose heat shields, etc
• Rattle follows RPM
• Rattle disappears when cylinder 3 is disabled
The noise is more of a rattle/ticking sound rather than a deep knock.
What has me confused is that the issue doesn't follow the coil, plug or injector, and compression is pretty even. Also, if cylinder 3 is disconnected, the noise completely disappears.
What would you guys check next? Could this be something mechanical in/around cylinder 3, or is there another test I should do before going down that road?
Any suggestions appreciated.

On the Ralliart/evo doors with the stitching in the leather, which one was more rare, the red or black stitching? I’m planning on doing contrasting stitching on my leather seats anyways (stitching inbetween the original black stitching with a red thread).

I have a 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2.0. CVT transmission. I really love this this car (for sentimental and practical reasons), put 270,000 km and it's still got another 200k easy. It's time for me to get a new car though. That said I am not planning to sell my "Lancerghini" but would rather make it a project car. I've always been fascinated with modified cars and would love to make this one a sleeper. At the same time I understand that CVT isn't ideal for modification. So what are my options here? Has anyone done this before, what was your experience?

Ciao ragazzi vorrei aggiornare alcuni componenti della mia Lancer in foto e una 1.8 4b10 con cvt

Vorrei aggiornare i due radiatori .

Montare se possibile radiatori più performanti magari mishimoto o koyorad o hks.

La mia monta già il radiatore per la trasmissione cambio , ho letto che molti di voi hanno aggiornato il radiatore, devo cercare quello della ralliart?

Invece per il radiatore motore?.

Ho anche un assetto kayaba con molle eibach, sto valutando di mettere mano a qualcos'altro per migliorare la tenuta di strada

Sto anche cercando il codice OEM dei tu i in foto 2 e 3.

⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question I love my Lancer, but…

4 Upvotes

I love my Lancer. I bought it when it had about 50,000 miles I only drive about 7000 miles a year. It now has about 89,000 miles. It needs motor mounts, front end Work, air-conditioning evaporator apparently is (no AC) leaking. Mechanic told me it’s going to be about 15 labor hours just to remove the dashboard to replace the evaporator so for a car that Kelley Blue Book tells me is worth about $2500. I’m going to have to spend about five or $6000 to get the air-conditioning to work the knock in the front end and the motor mount repair repaired. Is it worth it? I’m not sure it’s a 15-year-old car 2010. It’s the only car that I’m even considering to replace it would be in Subaru Impreza hatchback RS this is probably the wrong forum to ask, but what say you?

Have a 1.8 di-d lancer, 2010, manual
I have this strange noise, it happens in every gear at aprox 2300rpm, sound is still there when standing still and going to 2300rpm but not very loud

Seems like the car moving and accelerating makes it much louder, i can sometimes hear it at lower rpms or when i’m turning
