My poverty coupe of peace (not a civic)

[rice4life]

I thought california was bad in terms of car laws. Who are they to tell you what car to have when you get your license.

The car looks pretty good man, keep your eyes peeled for some good wheels on the cheap.

[Thom]

Wheels i want id be hard pressed to find second hand let alone in aus :/



Small update. Got another cluster from a 1.8 lancer so i have a Tacho again.



So here it is working..

[Ben_S]

Cool to see one of these on here, I have a '93 and a '94 that both may appear on here in the next few months. Gonna go ahead and sub to this for some inspiration

[cruuz]

Sub'd for Mitsu love

[StaticG]

too many cannons, advanti medusas and horrible body kits getting around up here :P
Cant wait to see this thing sacked and stanced
il say hey if i see ya at a meet sometime man

[cereal black]

P = Provisional

Basically in some states if you're on your provisional licence you're restricted to driving certain cars and a few other stupid rules and you must display a P-Plate on the front and rear of your car.

I want one. For lulz. Are these plates found old and abondoned and hypotheticly availalbe for international shipment?

Uhhh you can just jump on ebay.com.au and there should be a few there lol. get enough to make a cube, BAM new hang toy haha.




Small performance updates tomorrow with more pics!

[Thom]

Didnt have time to swap my intake out today -_- Got new pads and rotors on today. sump swapped out so aftermarket manifolds clear the sump. The old sump was mad and smacked me in the forehead as it came off the oil pick-up....

I know this isnt really a worthy update but.. eh. Lows will come. maintenance first sadly..




Post injury

[Thom]

Not really much to add to this atm. Got some rear disc brakes for that form > function lyfe (discs on these have crap hand brakes) And some free MR lancer side skirts. one needs a little work to smooth it out tho. Also have MR rear pods. Just need to order a civic front lip for it and add some lows. Oh and a new spoiler and Evo 4 reflectors..

Brakes


Skirts

[Thom]

Ordering this soon

And painted these and fitted.



Oh ive also got a disc brake rear conversion. Hopefully thats on next weekend.


Saving for coilovers atm aswell. Anyone had experiences with DGR coils before?

[Thom]

Minor update. No lows yet. Just scored a second job hopefully. trial on saturday all goes well ill be buying coils in 2 months. anyway. Decided on BC inverted Golds at f7kg/r6kg.


On the weekend just gone i had the rear disc brake conversion done. Had to swap out Handbrake lines/brake lines and brake brackets. So a mate of mine lending me his bosses workshop started on it all. Go to fit the brake caliper brackets... kent is WAY off. Called the bloke i bought them off and turns out they were from an awd GSR lancer. Drove a 3hr round trip just to swap them......
(i should have taken pics but i was mad/sad)
Pics of discs. needs paint. Undecided on what colour.


Also Swapped the intake manifold finally for a ported G93 one. More suited for revving/power forgot pics of porting -_- but it looks factory so no one cares haha. Fitted the Rear pods to.





So far thats about it. There is a Recaro drivers seat in there. But its not that great in terms of holding. needs a refurb at some point. Might mold more padding in and use less padding in the base/back.

Also wheels. Wouldnt be genuine works as they are like as much as i paid for the car before tires but something like that. enkies will be legit. Need something like 15-16x8+25-30




OR

[xAHx]

Looks like a good start. These things have a ton of potential.

[Thom]

Cheers man. Its getting there haha. For now its just saving to acquire all the lows and then loose my licence when the police come and defect me for everything on the car :3


Well i took it to willobank one last time before it gets new suspension and a retune. Ran a 16.094





Washed it and fixed the kit fitment. Passengers kept kicking the skirts and i had the tape to high.
Now you cant see the tape Added a new exhaust tip because the standard one pissed me off.
No more "rice" or pointless mods until it has coilovers in the thing. Road tuning will be happening soon tho.

[archie.]

Props on being a young lad with a clue.

If you cant afford genuine forged wheels (which I cant), look into some cool steelies.
You can order these in 4 stud and a variey of widths/offsets:

I've heard people say they're hard to balance though, so more suited to track/drift use than highway driving, but I could be wrong. Send em an email, I reckon a set of d-windows would look phat on this, especially with a tyre stencil.

[Thom]

Ive thought about getting steelies as a set of track wheels and keeping the currents for track wheels aswell. The are quite heavy tho. Yea i saw that stencil. I want it!! sucks that its a one time use tho..


Sweet ute to man
