Lucky fella!... On the road already and lookin good. My Lancer build starting in Jan 2013.

btw what rims on that Lancer?... Looks similar to Evo 6 TME but that's 5-hole!?!

[Razkal]

i'll pass the compliments on, trying to get him to join tuner and post his own business

the wheels are generic 17x6.5 (ASA is the brand i think??) units...but from the local 'new wheel' market i think its the best looking wheel he could have gotten. the blue on white combo looks really good!

he already lost some nickel strips and the front right indicator to ..umm.. 3rd and 4th gear...
anyone of you guys have extra rear glass nickel strips? or a right side front indicator?

^holy Mary sweet mother of Jesus that's beautiful!!


my old man just had a mini seizure peering over my shoulder, gonna make sure he's irie.

[Razkal]

guise..i need help finding a proper image that shows the factory mounting location for a FC3S (second gen rex) front stabilizer/anti-sway bar...

can't find a pic online that isn't a race car or modified to fit a larger bar...the FC bar compared to the factory first gen bar is already a great upgrade..from 14mm to 25mm or thereabouts.. need to mount my bar asap and see if i need to make allowances for fitment

[TriniGT]

Razkal, drop of the steering rack and steering column and avoid overspray.

[Razkal]

i did eventually do that, its on the car now..all bolted up and ready to mate with the sway bar...used the same crap ACE chrome thing spray though...so the finish isn't quite triniGT standard (:P) but atleast it looks 100% more presentable than originally.

your builds really inspired me to start cleaning the engine bay and de-rusting, strengthening and neatening up electrics and mounting locations for accessories..so much thanks!
got alot of progress so far, stripped all unnecessary wiring and gonna attempt hidden harness install..just need some guidance from my electrician as there are some sketchy bits.

moar comments if ya got any!

[Razkal]

btw, i need suggestions on a good clear coat spray paint or clear sealer...something that does that job from a can basically.

[in the voice of the rock]finally a great engine will return home[/voice of the rock]



no scene pal, just keep at it.

[Razkal]

dun know

honestly that (13b) is gonna be the last step..i've started with a stock gsl-se sa22c car with the nissan lump pictured.
It worked fine so i left it and dragged a couple times, dexed when it would feel to, drove to san souci to surf..then started doing suspension mods (woohoo dex!). It started with FC rx7 shock/spring complete with the brakes also. That worked like crap mostly, bad planning.
Changed a bunch of rear ends to whatever would last..did lots of poly bushings..then did a full rear FC irs subframe swap, after like a century it seems, have the car home again and started this full FC front swap. the only complications arose because it's an rb instead of a 13b. but just small hiccups, no 'bun down project' headache yet ..
Left to complete, is the gearbox mount needs to be redone, and an exhaust brace re-welded. going to change the way the rad sits in front as well and as a result the ic will need to move also. Tires and that's about it. dex time

future plans are a complete tear down and chassis refurbish, as best as can be afforded. re paint, good seats, maybe half cage, definitely better coilovers and sway bars..then 13 b. ZG flares would be awesome, but i'll stay content for now. can't rock ZGs with shiddy wheels

dan dan dann

those lights , where i could get similar to those? really love that look with the light covers

2/ i have a question

how does one go about lowering a 120y not dropping suspex low but just a bit to cover some staggered rims and get a good stance

my ideas was to take out the spring and get a shorter spring or something a bit longer that can compress easier? Or cut some coils

and then replace shock with something to work with the said spring
