Hi i was wondering if someone with an ch lancer would give me there vin number and build date? Im attempting to get some parts to fit to my ce and its a lot easier to get parts with a vin and build date.

Needs to be 4x114.3 stud pattern

Hey not quite sure what you are trying to achieve? Some more info would have been handy as to why you need a ch vin for a ce, I’m guessing it might be brake swap ??

Anyway, I know what you mean about needing vin number at Mitsubishi parts counter, so I will tell you a secret of the easiest way to find what you need.

1. Go to car sales page to find a current qld rego of what year ch you want that’s for sale
2. Go to qld transport site to the “check current rego page” status
3. Enter the number plate
4. Then copy the vin number shown
5. Then go to www.partsouq.com
6. Then enter vin number it should then give you the build date options etc and part numbers needed plus the cheaper price you can import them for, don’t forget to change currency to Aussie dollars

Hope that helps

Thanks for the help.
Yeah its for a brake swap. Thinking i might just go to a car yard and get the info off a used car.
 
Why do you want to swap from 4x100 to 4X114.3.... do you have wheels already?

Ony one person on this forum has done it, looks like your already talking to Hornunga about it. While I admire the work he’s put in to it, it looks to be a huge headache.

If it’s for the brakes, there are much easier options than going to CH brakes.
 
I've already sorted this out.

It's funny how there is only one guy that has done this mod but it's listed on another thread and there is no mention of the complications.

I know there is easier brake upgrades. I dont like the idea of having under sized rotors or using brake disk spacers.

My plan is to do some track days with the car and maybe eventually making it a dedicated take car. The local track is very hard on brakes so i dont want to take any short cuts.
 
Can get evo or fto discs re-drilled if youre unhappy with mini rotors. Muuucch cheaper/easier

Yeah it is funny, because Hornunga is the only one I can say for sure who has or should I say is in the process of doing the CH brake swap. Frosty who commented in the other thread may have done it because he has a lot of CH stuff in his car, but I cant confirm what he exactly did with his brakes. I only know that he put ABS in it and he said there was a lot of work involved. And yes, it is listed in the spreadsheet in the second brake thread because it's an option, its not there to tell you how easy or hard it is. So far Hornunga is the only one showing us whats involved as far as this goes and we are all watching and learning off his progress and when your the one pioneering something new, you're the example of said complications.

When you say under sized rotors and spacers, are you meaning the Mini Cooper option? With them being 2mm thinner.
I ran Mini Cooper 276's for a few years of daily driving and several motorkhana days on them without any issues. Never needed spacers either.
With the Mini Cooper discs, 1mm isn't that much for your pads to make up either side. You could lose that much just getting your discs machined and no one would bat an eye lid. If you're concerned about it, its just as easy as monitoring your pad thickness and change as required. It's all I ever did, just kept an eye on it.

I understand where you're going as far as prepping for track, I've got another mirage that I'm slowly working on now to be a track only car.
At the moment, front discs is the only thing I do not have for it brake wise. I've already got Proton rear discs and FTO twin piston front calipers.
It'll either be back to Mini Cooper discs, otherwise it'll get some new Evo 3 discs and get them re-drilled.
Or if I can spin it, ask DBA if they can sell me a blank Evo 3 discs and get them drilled to 4X100 or get them to drill them to 4X100 rather than 4x114. Definitely an avenue I'd like to explore.

But if you're dead set on going the CH route, go for it.
Maybe someone will learn something off you having done it also.
You never know, it might become the next popular upgrade and you'll be a wanted man! lol.
 
Thanks but I've already got the parts.

I'm a qualified mechanic but I'm working in a different field now. I enjoy the challenge and have the tools to get the job done.
Looks like I'm going to need to get some spacers made so I just need to find a machinist to work with.

Lol time will tell but i think Hornunga post will be more popular than mine.

Awesome, sounds like you're well on your way and being qualified you've got a leg up on most of us. Let us know how you get on.
 
For the rear brakes I used the whole rear suspension arm from the cs lancer and just shortened the little top link to fit or lengthened I can't remember. The rear brakes don't do a whole lot anyway on the track so I wouldn't worry about going too extreme.
 
Yeah the plan it to fit the twin pot to the front and seeing how it go's on the track with the drum brakes
 
They look good. I ran around on the track for ages with drums on the rear and the same fronts as you and they all worked a treat. I use ferodo 2500 front pads and hawk rears.
 
Frosty7 how did you get the right pads, as in did you get magna pads or fto pads? My brakes are off a ts magna but i dont think i will be able to get good track pads. I would like to get project mu hc800 because I know them.
 
The twin pot calipers have a very common pad that fits some Evos and pajeros and Magna's obviously. My suggestion would be to go to a brake supplier and get them to match up the pads. What city are you from? Most brake and clutch suppliers will be able to get you appropriate pads.
 
I'm in Adelaide.
I have kept the old pads from the twin pot calipers so i can match them up.
It was my plan to go to a brake specialist to match up the pads. I'm hoping it matches an evo pad so i can get good track pads.
