Seeing as all the other forums have 1, lets get a MiTo thread going
Today mine had a new driveshaft fitted. The CV boot had completely come off and there was hardly any grease left in it :lol: got that done under warranty too
I finally got around to turning a pair of (Mito official) rear mud-flaps into a pair of front mud-flaps! Will go over the screws in black paint tomorrow but for now they fit well, don't seem to rub and hopefully will make it worth touching up my road-rash in the future if all's well.
Took it out to try and diagnose a whirring noise, I thought nahhhh surely not. But sure enough I think it's the bloody gearbox. first the diff bearings now I think the legendary M32 has come to get me. strangely though it's 2nd, 3rd and 4th making the noise. Gonna get a family friend (A jag senior tech) to carry out an oil change on the box and go from there I think. Otherwise time to find a gearbox place in kent.
Still waiting to get my 155tb back from the workshop (gearbox bearings and new clutch)... been waiting 2 months since Alfa South Africa had to wait for parts from Italy. Due to arrive today
Tried to go as fast as possible in my Fiat Punto courtesy car, it's just not the same.
As soon as I get mine back i'm fitting a K&N 57i induction, new tyres and a RaceChip.
Not getitng any sleep due to the excitement.

Right so I think it might also have a boost leak as turbo is whistling more than usual. Rear brakes still squeal despite new discs and pads and have a creak coming from rear drivers side. Along with other little niggles. Never thought id say it but ive definitely fallen out of love with this car, in fact this car has made me fall out of love with motoring. Seriously toying with chopping it in because putting it right is not looking so financially sound.
I know it has been a while since the last post in this thread however its a shame to find it unused for a while.
Anyway, I got tired of the stock floor, too easy to get dirty and not the best to clean out, so I finally purchased some floor mats off eBay which I had been meaning to do for a while.
Gearbox making slight sound in 3rd and 4th but not enough to get really worried aranoid: Anyhow,I have a new 6 speed gearbox in the garage so no worries.
Lately I used more energy fitting a body kit.
And after an accident in Sweden in July a new rear diffusor was also fitted.
Next up during winter will be DNA .it mods to rear suspension.
On my 2012 car the switches for the heated seats are tucked under the front arm rest, this makes them horrible to try and press and almost impossible to look and see if they're on whilst driving ( obviously I can feel the drivers one working after a few mins )
Annoyingly it looks like there's a...
Hi,
has anyone installed a pressure reducer kit for the MiTo?
It seems to be a common tuning feature in Japan.
Can someone tell me how this should work?
Mito 135 multiair, oil and little filter changed so no real multiair probs. That I know of.
The smell is noticeable when stationary normally but smells like either burnt oil or gearbox oil, fairly pungent.
I am wondering if theres a leak onto a hot cat/manifold somewhere...
Anyone had similar a...
During my regular eBay car parts searching I've noticed more mitos getting broken for parts / more mito parts in general. I'm assuming as they get older and worth less crashed ones are more likely to be broken for spares than repaired
Are there any lists or guides or how tos for retrofitting...
