Forum: First Generation Magna TM - TP

Hey guys, first post. About 6 months ago I picked up this GT locally for $800. https://imgur.com/a/0CuFB It's reasonably tidy. Manual with 240k on it as of now. Has a couple of small rust bubbles under my crappy plastidip roof job, needs some new brake pads and I think control arm bushes....

This is the start of something grand. Fun, excitement and a smile no amount of soap can get rid of. This is the story of a new chapter in my life as the life of our dear friend Ray is taken away. I present to you.. The Magna-Buff Build. http://i.imgur.com/S4o7vVDl.jpg

It has been a few years since I have been an active member of this forum and first gen owner. After years of talking about my old TP to anyone who would listen I decided to purchase one of carcycle's GTs before they weathered away into something that would only be worth crushing. The car is...

Hi everyone, first time poster from NZ here. I have a 88 mitsi v3000, from which I understand is largely similar to you aussies magnas. I love this car, however I cannot for the life of me get the dashlights to work. I've checked all fuses, all my exterior signal lights work, and the backlight...

We own a 1991 TP Station wagon that was at the tail end of this model and still had the carbed 2.6 Astron motor. Have had problems with it just running out of oomph and so far have replaced coil, electronic igniter, plugs and fuel pump with no real success as yet. Now thinking it may be the fuel...

Hi All, I have a TN Magna carby model which floods after you turn it off and it sits for 10-20 minutes. If you push the foot to the floor it also chokes. Put a carby kit through it, but a carby guy said it could be a blocked pipe and that it was a back pressure flood. Anyone experienced this?...

Looking for a registered first gen in SA, wondering if anything is around?

I fitted a new fuel pump about 18 months ago and seems like it's not working now. I don't start the car much, 6 months or so. i tried to activate it through the engine service connector and get a fairly big spark suggesting a short. Any ideas? thanks. :D

Until two weeks ago normal cold starting was 2 pushes on the pedal and away we went. Now, if the car is not started for a couple of days it needs 10 to 15 seconds cranking before it fires. Once started it runs quite normally. Three questions: 1. Do the plastic carby bowls crack after long usage...

Hi Fellas, will you tell me where I go to get a new catalytic converter for the TP, please.

Hey Everyone, I just created a youtube channel it has mostly all the magna and verada's, sigma's and more great stuff from one of our favourite brands so please check it out. If any of use have any old videos that you could email me please do at maggsz1999@gmail.com and please like and...

Hey all, so picked some parts off of another tp, elite/sedan, naturally, same color as mine etc, but sadly before i could get back and get some more they took it away and crushed it ( :censored: insert foul language here ). but managed to get some gear, struts, power window stuff, auto shifter,...

Good morning to all. Names Mark and i have a build thread i would like to share with you all. First a "little" history. I first got my Magna in December 2009, my grandfather had recently past away and his car was going to be scrapped/sold. I was the youngest in my family and the only...

My TP has around 450K on the clock. It's producing around 25 mpg. That's about 10.5 lts per 100ks. Am I expecting a bit much out of the old girl or could I find ways to increase the economy. I drive very quietly. Tyres are at 42 most of the time. Any hints at things like injector stuff or...

Hi Guys, Do the TM-TP magna's run mb261624 intermittent wiper relay with timer? If so, where is it located? Cheers, Andrew.

Hi All I am fitting new struts to the front of my wagon and want to know if there is a nut fitted on the top of the shaft after it comes through the bearing plate and before the top cup shaped flange is fitted, Cheers Geoff

Guys I'm in strife. A mechanic installed a new alternator. Put two fibre washers on the connection...WT...?! The battery light on the dash is flickering and the guage is charging at only three quarters of the usual. Will someone have a look at their TP alternator and tell me what kind of...

So, some may have already noticed, but the photobucket account of our recently departed Ray has been inactive for a while, this is causing the members to lose his uploaded images on the site. Is there anyone that has access to his photobucket account that can maintain that account therefor...
