Hi all

Long shot but maybe someone knows........

I have looked at the Workshops/Tuners sticky but cannot see anywhere and am not overly familiar with car part stores.

Mitsubishi were my first port of call but they would take up to 4 weeks from Japan and as it seems, (I think it would have been incorrect anyway based on the ones Eastside supplied). I tried Chadstone first being a Ralliart Distributor but they could only order them, then tried Knox who suggested Eastside Mitsubishi.

Eastside had the LED's that Chadstone priced so Mavric has kindly trundled out there and got them, only to find they are the wrong size. I called Techsport who were very helpful and suggested Bursons as apparently they are quite common. Bursons couldnt help and sent Mav to another parts distributor near by who again couldnt supply and this time told him they were genuine Mitsubishi parts only.

This LED has a little black plastic cap on the base with a bayonet type fitting that locks it into the dash.

Is my only hope 4 weeks from Japan (assuming they get the right one as there is no part number on it) or can anyone help on here please?

Can post a pic later but Mav is currently roaming Melbourne with it!

Any help appreciated. :D

No idea what type of LED you're after Alan, but Justin and I just got some LED's sent from America.

They took about 3 days to get here :)

I'll try find the link to the site for you...They seem to have a pretty wide range to choose from so you might get lucky :D

Thanks for the replies guys.

After showing them the globe when Mav went to get the money back on the originals, the found some and out of courtesy did a straight swap even though they would have been priced higher.

Appreciate the quick response guys.

This can be deleted/locked if needed or used as a resource if it helps with other suppliers.

:D

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
