There is a guy from Mandurah in my club.. or thinks hes in my club rather.. who has turbo'd his lancer gli.. he has an A-pillar gauge with TWO boost gauges.. I asked him 'why 2 boost gauges?'.. and his reply was '.. coz it makes it look like it's twin turbo!'.

I looked at him and walked off..

To cut a long story short imo, if you mod a lancer you run the risk of falling into the same category. But each to their own. I'm just saying it's not something I'd do. :P

lol that shit is funny...wanna put that on a t-shirt or sumthin

sorry - saw this thread and looked interesting.....

its up to him what he wants to do, but yeah, the modded up lancer thing is usually for young p-plate women from forums such as www.melbccr.com.au

but hey, if he is happy, then let him go for it.

edit - friend of mine has a lancer with leather interior and evo kit and a cannon muffler - hmmmm all show and no go....so sounds a bit lame, but at the same time its not my car. He tried to give it some stick at the lights, and wouldnt really go that well....

i dont think it will hlp much he has his mind set on making people think he has an evo..

Exactly, what ever we post wont make a difference. Generally people make up their minds but still have a little doubt in their decision. So they then ask for others opinions, the ones that suit their decision are taken note of, where as the others that disagree are dismissed as being rubbish. Normal human nature I guess, we just listen to what we want to hear.

Let us know how things work out though yea? :P

OR, buy a old toyota crown, slam it with some rims and you now have a reliable, and cheap cruiser , when your mates say how fast it is you say ,"its a classic cruiser idiot, slow and low".

Save your money for the car you really want and get in a couple of years when you know what your after and havent spent your money on shit.

2 cents

Damn, im gonna buy one and use it as a daily.

Lancer to look like an EVO is fail in any language...

13k is plenty of dosh to get something fun...

if you look hard enough you could get an awesome fun Silvia (S13 and some peeps are flogging off S14's super dooper cheap now) and of course 180sx's

or buy Rhys' NA, not a bad car at all... great P Plater car

Honda's are good fun, i used to think i could beat Turbos though *fail*

and Leo... sorry brother but a Lancer that has engine mods that don't include turbo and turbo supporting mods and an AWD system is a tiny bit rice

it's alright now, you have a GTT :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

i litterally "Roll On the Floor Laughing".....

The most important thing IMO is what is his motive? If he's doing it up for himself there's some merit as tastes are personal. If he's doing it up to get positive attention from other enthusiasts (and I reckon he probably is if you're posting here for him asking what people's reactions would be) then he may as well give up now.

There's certain cars that no matter what you do to them just don't cut it. I had a Daihatsu Charade GTti, which is a 3 cyl, twin cam, turbo, intercooled, injected etc etc little rocket which I modified and tuned till it would hammer all my mates in their Commodores, pulled 200 km/h (which in a Charade is seriously scary) and sounded sweet as. But at the end of the day, it's still a Charade/shopping trolley/chicks car and those were the sort of comments I got. For me, that was fine, it was a cheap, fun daily that didn't cost the earth to run/modify. But if your mate wants positive attention from other people, he won't get it in a riced up Lancer.

i dont mean bad to lancer owners.

i was one of them. i used to drive a lancer with huge bodykit and a loud exhaust. a nissan pulsar sss also witha gay loud exhaust and wierd 19"rims(when i am thinking about it right now). i am proud to be a ricer.(its a phase in some people's lives) and YES everyone had a bit or RICE in them. put your hands up if you agree.

but i do regretted not to go for more tasteful mods. lesson learnt.

Mods for the lancer:

Proper size rims eg: 16 and 17 should be enough.

Dont go crazy on the bodykit and also the exhaust!

good luck to the new owner!

hope he have fun in his new car!

cheers!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
