Slowly the car is coming together.

I have found the decals for the rear doors , a new RS decal & MMC badge for the boot lid. Next is to fit the 510cc injectos & new chip.

Out with the old, in with the new!

(OLD - stock drive shaft / GT35R setup)

(NEW - DSS alloy drive shaft / T51R setup)

 

[VR42LT]

[ozyvr4]

Wow barry, beware at school zone. That would suck a kid straight up.

No driving at night - it may actually pull the moon slightly out of orbit

been doing a bit of work on my car again
this is a gsr lancer (same shape as a evo3)

got the dummy engine and box casing in so i can set the mounts, the passanger side one is now completed out of steel and is waiting final welding, then ill make a new north/south beam and mounts for the auto box.



chromoly front subframe, saved 8.5kg over the factory one.



decided a while back that the manual wasnt cost effective and the cost of a dog box was just too much dollars 10000+ nzd for one to i got this for a couple hundred instead.
going to order in the parts required to get it to shift and handle a bit more power as well as a new torque converter.
also have a nice b&m ratchet shifter for it.

Quoting bazeng:

Rather less cheerful update from me:

Car was stolen from my locked garage last night...

 

[yeti]

Seriously?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[dmj]

Say it isn't so. That is heartbreak for sure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

 

[bazeng]

You are joking right? How?

 

[H05TYL]

Yup, locked garage, locked and alarmed car with steering wheel removed and a starter thats on the way out and needs smacking with a hammer before it'll work.

No plates on it either as i wasn't planning on using it on the street again anytime soon.

Guessing they must have towed it.

 

[MX4]

Gutted for you nikk. Karma will get the pricks.

 

[faqinshiet]

That sucks! Sorry to hear!

 

[H05TYL]

I can't quite understand why anyone would want to steal it - it'd sat in a paddock for 14 months so was looking pretty sad, (I only convinced it to run again two weeks ago) and there's nothing on it aside from the wheels thats worth much money.

Anyhow, seeing as this is a picture thread, here's the last pics I took of it, this Sunday just past.

 

[bazeng]

Was that the GTO rear setup?

 

[H05TYL]

Nah, that was RedTwo's zr4 I think.

Mine was 3-bolt rs with re-drilled hubs (hence the large number of broken axles).

 

[EMX5636]

Dude, THAT SUCKS H05TYL. Stupid scum of people. Hope you find it!
