Bit of a long shot to post here but here goes.

I've got a 99 lancer gl sitting in my back yard, smashed at the front with slight damage to the firewall. Basically this cant be fixed cheaply and has been abandoned by my insurance company (longer story) so i wanna do something with it!

plans: since the front right arm is bent

tube frame front end with an CA18 or SR20 turbo in it, with conversion to RWD!!

just wondering if anyone knows if the chassis of the FWD lancer i the same as an EVO lancer????

just to make things easier and not have to build a new tunnel for it, i have notice that the fuel tank is under the rear seat so this will have to be removed, just hoping that with that removed i can run a tailshaft through! just running a fuel cell in the boot.

if any one has seen lancers with similar mods or RWD conversion if they could post links/pics that would be great. this is a weekend job just for a fun track/drift car!

any and all suggestions welcome!

cheers :D

hehehe yeah i know, but its just sitting there and cant do anything else with it!

i had a look a while back, it has a tunnel but not sure if it is big enough to run a tail shaft down! not a hard thing to create a bigger tunnel, have done them before, but hoping that i dont have to do it!

fresh, if you find a mag with it coudl you check for me!

I was just showing what i've seen in relation to modded lancers, I wansent telling you to do the same :D

I'd go with your idea!!!

FWD you brake to many drive shafts & no traction...

Rwd is more fun, I'd Go SR20DET and it will be a serious weapon.:)

I'm curious to see the end result

:D

i'd say it would be too much work to make it RWD.

If you want to do a project, i'd sell the car as is for a few grand if possible, buy an R31 and do an rb20det/rb25det/rb26dett conversion. At least then it will bolt straight in, it will already be RWD and you'll be driving a nissan :D

who are you and what do you want?

every post i've seen of yours is utter stupidity

warned for trolling - 5 points

Excuxe me but who are you and what do you want?

If you dont like what i write dont read it! Everyone is entitled to there own opinion, I just dont like lancers!

I am very offended by you warning me! :):):rant::rant::rant:

well i understand your feelings and i am hearing that you are offended

i hope we can reach a mutual agreement and understanding of terms in this matter

lets try to work through this and be better people for it

Entitled to opinions maybe, but have you heard of the phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it"? There was nothing constructive about what you said. I know quite a number of people with EVOs that would probably make you cry if you went for a ride in driven hard.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
