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!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
