Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

The rear springs on my Delica have sagged (as they all do) to the point where they were sitting on the overload leaves, which makes the ride quite harsh.

I've tried adding a leaf ( ) which made the ride smooth again when loaded, but it also raised the rear too far when the van was empty....

After fitting air shocks to the rear of my van, which slightly stiffen the rear suspension, I've been thinking that the front suspension is way too soft.

The Japanese market L300 4WD wagon (P25/35W) has 20mm diameter torsion bars on the front suspension. Light springs like these make for a...

Hi. I Just bought an automatic diesel 1999 Delica L300 GLX Exceed with a low roof. Bought an original roof tray that's getting put on tomorrow and I'm expecting to get a ladder in the next while. Would love some suggestions to optimize this beast as light camper van (I'm not wanting to permanently...

Thought i would post some pictures for fun of my L400 rear jump seat conversion being put to good use when hauling my dirt bike. I was lucky enough to be able to snag the chamonix psychedellic carpet and custom fabbed L400 chamonix jump seats from dr_airtime. The seats really change everything in...

My L300 Exceed came pretty bare bones from the previous owner, and is missing all decals. I really like the stock look, so I would love to replace them. I do have a vinyl cutter, so making them up should be easy, but I would need templates. Does anyone have digital versions (Illustrator or any...

I'm getting a front skid made, using the drawing from this page...

Thinking we'll do a run of 8 of them, if anyone is interested let me know, and what kind of transmission, AT or Manual. also if anyone has input on what material, alu vs steel, and what thickness you'd want, hopefully we can use...

Hello All,

While looking up how/where to get new stickers for my ladder(probably going to go to a local place to try and get them matched) I came across a few ladders on the uk site that were terzo and had a mirror shine.

I have spent the better part of 2 hours and can find pictures of said...

I keep forgetting to inflate the air shocks when towing and only notice when I'm on the motorway. Also, when you get to the campsite and unhitch the caravan, it's a pain to air down the shocks for driving around, and then pump them up again when it's time to tow the 'van home.
So here's a fun...

I'm looking to use a liquid-liquid heat exchanger in-line with the cars coolant line to be able to heat water for showers, etc. Plan is to pump water through the HE. There seems to be two types; plate based as well as tube-in-shell HE. Although plate based seems more efficient and is cheaper, the...

I ended up getting ahold of one of TieMyShoes Grinded cams, so I thought I would post my thoughts on it after driving with it a while.

It feels like my van doesn't bog down as much going up hills or trying to accelerate at highway speeds. Usually I feel a large dropoff in power once it goes past...

I'm hoping to continue the plywood panel theme in my van. I've already created a panel for the rear door that I managed to simply screw into the existing plastic clip things that held the old panel, but it's not ideal ...

The previous owner created the rear side panels (over the...

Hi everyone,

I've had my Delica L300 for 8 years and the external bars were getting rustier and rustier. It's been on my wish list to get them cleaned up. Last December I decided to splurge and have a Lower Mainland Delica specialist shop (to be fair, I won't specify the name) de-rust/paint them...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to accomplish a modification to a 2.5l injection pump that will allow for easier cold weather starting. The idea is to have a cable leading to the cab to activate the diesel equivalent of the gas engine choke.

Adding a mechanism to the injector pump that advances the...

Just though I would share some pics and info on my side exit exhaust my friend welded for me this past weekend.

Parts:

4" Magnaflow round muffler Part number 10416 from amazon.ca: $100
Two 45 degree 2.5" stainless mandrel bends from Columbia River
One straight stainless pipe 2.5"...

Hello folks,
Just thought I'd share with you a fantastic little mid I did to my L300 today. It's bit really even a mod because it was too easy.

Anyway, I was looking at a VW Eurovan with a fiamma bike rack attached to the rear hatch and thought, I bet this would almost bolt right on to the rear...

Hi. I have been involved in accident, again..... So I'm sick of being pushed around. I'm looking for bush bar/grill guard for 99 Chamonix. Older gen. comes with it. I have called any single shop/ dealer ship but nobody stock them any more.
Did anybody of you found something what easy to modified...
