Compatible parts for Scoupe ls 92

[donchichi]

I would like to know what parts from other cars are compatible with the scoupe92. I'm also looking for power window motors for my scoupe 92 as they've gone soft.

This or as I've read commonly known as bolt on by you guys.

1. Suspension (i found its similar to our national car (proton model: iswara))
2. bumpers/side skirting (bodykits)
3. engine parts (mitsubishi engine?)
4. gear box
5. rims
6. spoiler
7. other parts?

Oh yeah scoupe 92 parts are impossible to find here. If anyone has or knows a place where i can get the scoupe ls 92 power window pls let me know.

cheers

Hi Donchichi,

Welcome to the forums.

1. Suspension
Spring and shocks from the Series I (1990-1992) & Series II (1993-1996) are the same. Shocks, Spring, Camber Kits, and Strut Braces are all readily available.

2. Bumpers/side skirting (bodykits)
Not a lot availabel here, tho you may like to check out http://www.ath-hinsberger.com/e/frame1e.htm. The factory fitted side skirts from the Series II S-Coupe should also fit, but you will also need to get the side panels for it to look right.

3. Engine parts (mitsubishi engine?)
Yes, your engine is a Mitsubishi engine. You may like to try www.rpw.com.au, who are in Perth Australia. They do a lot of Mitsubishi parts. If you are due for a new engine, you may like to try getting a Mitsu 4G61T 1.6 DOHC Turbo and gearbox, which should come close to being a straight bolt in, or even try to get a Mitsu 1.5 MIVEC engine (maybe someone can help us out of if this has been done, and how easily it went in.)

4. Gear box
See above

5. rims
Any will fit, as long as they are the right offset. Aim for 38mm, however generally 40mm are fine. The S-Coupe is a great car, in that there is ample room for mags to fit within the gaurd, so even when lowered 2-3 inches, a set of 7 or 7.5" wide mags shouldn't scrape at the rear. The X3 Excel/Accent is a real pain in this regard, as even a set of 15*6" rims with 195/50/15 tyres will often run at the rear.

6. spoiler
Being pretty much a flat bootlid, there are literally hundreds of types to choose from, especially if your S-Coupe doesn't already have a spoiler fitted (as there will be no old holes to cover). As a rule of thumb, try to keep the spoiler so that it's overall height (from bootlid to the highest point) is no more than 50% of the length of the wing (the front most point to the rear most). If the wing sits too high relative to the length of the wing, it will look awkward)

7. other parts
What did you have in mind???


Hope this helps you out.

Cheers

Hey! I looked at your profile pic. Check out mine and tell me what you like and dislike. It takes you through the complete teardown and rebuild of my 1.5L. It also has some interior custom pics. Later!

Hey bretton, 92scoupels,

Thanks for the info. But when using the Surbo they didn't recommend me to put in bigger tyres as it will make it inneffective and sometimes cause lower max speed/acceleration. I'll changing my suspensions first this month cuz right now I'm running on compatible proton shocks and they're not very good I'm afraid. I'm thinking of getting Hot Bits? Any recommendations?

I would put more pics in but haven't had time to wipe out my number plate from the pictures yet. I have a 4" oxygen speakers n tweets, 10" woofer a decent 1000W amp and sony 10disc changer inside.

I'm afraid my car's been whacked quite bad. I'm not sure if you can see from the pic the engine oil is leaking on the left and right side of the engine. Although it's not much, it's noticeable.

Well 92scoupeLS.. I think both our cars need to be repainted?

I just came back from a few shops enquiring.

One shop mentioned the VR4 RS Turbo engine(4g63T?) for RM10000 + exhaust and front disc brakes + all labor work + exhaust. Gives about 200++ HP. This guy is a reknowned track specialist. Does up a lot of racers cars, he showed me one car he just transplanted the Satria GTI with a VR4 turbo engine.
I've heard variations from various people doing the transplant from as low as RM3000 full works to RM10000 the highest.
He did mention supercharging it would come around RM4-5K for around 150 HP and top speed around 220km/h. I wonder if anyone else around my state does this too.. hmm

I also dropped by speedworks which gave me a quotation for suspension, Hotbits goes for RM2600 and another for RM3800. Kinda pricey cuz I've heard a lot of variations for Hot Bits springs here, from RM600-RM4000. They all look the same??

I guess since I still like the engine, I'm gonna do up the suspensions, exhaust first, and by August I'll decide whether to put in a VR4 or a supercharger. I'm leaning more on the supercharger due to costs. What do you guys think?

Oh and not forgetting to repaint my car!

cheers
