Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

so I was strolling up to my van today when I was approached by another delicafan. :) this is a infrequent occurrence, but appreciated. http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo41/alzathoth/DELICA/TrapperCreek2.jpg we talked for almost an hour, then he bluntly offered me $10k for it! :shock: :-D I was st...

thanks for the heads up Christine.
I'm glad I saw this before I drove down to the lower mainland.

I don't carry a lot of tools on me on a daily basis, but when I'm going somewhere for more than a day or 2, I usually take the basics: metric wrenches 3/8" ratchet and metric sockets(deep&shallow) 3/8" extensions combination wrench 2 Phillips screwdrivers plastic rivet removal tool oil...

a better replacement would be an odyssey.
I replaced my duels with a single about 4 years ago and haven't looked back since.

I personally haven't done it, but from what I understand dry ice is very good for replacing races. it is very cold, but it takes some time. in the end, it probably takes less time then pounding them in. you could just go out and buy a lisle race driver, and pound them in yourself. having the right t...

factory nav? is it built into the dash or bolted on top? I'd like to see more pictures please! :)

looks like it could be a cool mod; to swap the Japanese version out for a tablet of some kind. how big is the screen?

wow. you really need to do a thread on how you did this winch!
what a grand mod!

Tessen's brakes need work. I'm currently sourcing part # for my L300, all around. I found the numbers for front parts on the Wiki, but not the rears. Can someone please give me the part numbers for L300 Brake shoes and cylinders for both sides? I looked on the Wiki and all I could find was the drums...

is anyone travelling from the lower mainland to Kelowna anytime soon?
I could use a petrolabs refill. :)

Triumph73 started a thread for campsites, and as tempted as I was to post a few sites, he was interested in Lower Mainland sites only. in the spirit of his great idea, I thought I'd start a thread for the Okanagan. the camping season is upon us! :-D please recommend a camp site in the Okanagan that ...

great thread idea!

i'll have to start one for the Okanagan.

I also have a pretty heavy steel rear carrier. I've been thinking of redesigning it as well. using steel for the bottom for collision protection and the pivot, and using aluminum for the top part that holds the tire. this way you save some weight, but the steel in the bottom is still strong enough t...

IMO, if you really love your van, don't go cheap.
get someone to do the heavy work, like the welding, and do the rest yourself.
if you go cheap, you will regret it when the rust reappears under your cheap repairs.
it will cost more, but IMO, it will be worth it.

this is a job I have been putting off for a very long time; too long. :-( because my access to a sandblaster is limited at best, I'm thinking of sourcing another front and removing my brushguard. this way I can still drive my van while I get the blasting and rockguarding done and swap everything ove...

I think the big issue is the 'parts and service' problems associated with them.
even here in the Okanagan parts aren't a common thing, and finding a garage that will actually work on them is something else.
this is probably the only thing that make people think twice about buying a delica.
