It had a leak by 2 valves. The evaporator, condensor, dryer needed servicing/cleaning. Had to regas and he put in some nitrogen somewhere. Nitrogen expensive costs about 700.
Any way total job costs about 1400 and im sure that the ac wukkin better than stock now.
Best part is that i got it done on aripita avenue about a stone trow away from where i live. |

Normally we use to source parts from Half cut, because there are more cheaper and most of the items are import from Japan.
Some owner do drive their cars from Malaysia to Singapore for some new parts upgrade, some of the parts might be cheaper because import duty in singapore are cheaper. |

show off
but you are right about maintenance, although when it comes to bushings, I adopt a run-till-fail approach,
engine cam and crank seals were changed in teh 100,000km service
believe it or not ppl, Blondie doing 110,000km and I have only changed cradle arm bushings,
I never had cause to change any other suspension parts, every time I take her fo a check, she is all good
alligned twice and cambered once - serious
every time i take her for an allignment, it is good, no need for allignment
even after changing tyres, she never called for allignment
tyres wear evenly
all suspension parts are OEM
I LOVE My MITSU's
as for teh choice of oil @ 116,000km, synthetic
Mobil1 5W-50 or Shell in similar grade
Using the Mobil1 in Blondie since 22,000km till now

Help:
My CS taking a long time to start. It's beginning to get worst, I hear a click sound in the engine bay when I turn the ignition but car would not start
When I keep fiddling the key it would then start up like normal.
I bought a new battery about 2 months and alternator is charging at 14 (the tech guy said that's normal).
Any one experience this problem before? |

kampoon, your extractor looks good.
I recommend you ask the muffler guy if the extractor should get Thermal wrap. |
