that is a big hole!!! maybe you should put a "Air Box" over it!!!

[rock_it]

is it legal to cut away under the battery tray ? i thought that effects 'engineering' of the vehicle..
Jon

Ummm ... Not sure ... I think it is legal, as the battery has been moved to the boot ... I guess I will find out when I go to get it engineered tho ...

other then that.. i love the look of it.. and how its coming along.. will be great once its done.

It is coming along a little slower then I thought it would. But, I want to make sure that it is not rushed and is done right the first time. There is still all the wiring, and modifications needed on the manifold to get the wastegate to fit, and a whole lot of little things... So it will probably be on the road in Jan .... So will start the new year with a new car ...

Haven't thought that far ahead yet.... Will see how we go for room and stuff... But yeah, sounds good ...

[EVOLANCER]

god damn mate thats looking sweet.... keep us updated with it all... n more photo's

[rock_it]

We are working on a little something to help the control the boost... Not going to say much as I don't know if it will work... But once I try it I will let you know... So that should be done by the end of the week (fingers crossed) ... Mounting of the pro gate has changed, as there is not much room for it all to fit (you could see by how close it was to the radiator and all that), so stay tuned for updates...

I hope to have this completed for the new year.. Then it is going to all be about getting it registered, engineered, and painted....

[rock_it]

Ok ... Well, I don't know why I even bother setting a budget for these things, cause I never stick to it...

Just bought these ... Pick them up on Saturday ...

[JSTYLE]

go you ebay specials!

good buy.

Jon

[rock_it]

Hehehe ... I knew the seller, and got a good price ... Now there is just 1 more reason that I can't wait till this car is on the road...

And with the colour combo on the seat, it is matching my paint, and Momo stuff, so it looks like I wont have to worry about a re-trim....

what are the rotors you have on the front? where did you get them and how much? I am after some and yours look like just the ticket! I was told I was going to have to get some with a different spacing redrilled. PM me if you like. I have twin pot calipers just need new rotors and pads + lines.

Got rotors and brakes off the guys at meek... Can't remember how much they were tho ... I bought them with a flood load of parts, and all I can remember was that they were a great price.... Just give em a call, and ask what brand they were...

[rock_it]

Picked up the seats yesterday ... They are hot ... They look so much better in person ... I was a little worried that the rear would not match the front (from sun fade or something), but these things are like new .... :shock:

I can't wait to put em in ... Called in to see the progress on the car... Some wiring has been done... Injectors and coils are now all sorted, but still heaps to go ... The mechanics shut over Christmas/New Years... So this is the last week for them to do anything before they return in 2007 ... So don't think much more is going to be getting done on it ....

[rock_it]

OK... Well here are a couple of updated pics.. Some of the wiring has been done, the coils have been mounted, and my new TurboSmart Progate has arrived...

I will go to the workshop by the end of the week, to see if there is anymore progress, but I highly doubt it... So she will not be worked on again till the new year... Here are the Pics...

[EVOLANCER]

h....o...l.....y CRAP! this thing is going to fly... man i wanna know how it goes for ya... need a dyno once its complete

[rock_it]

Hehehe.. Thanks mate..

Yeah, the engine was up to 238kw @ the front wheels on the sonata.. But I have changed the cams now, and done a couple of little things, so it will be interesting to see what it pulls at all wheels.. the 238 was running 20psi and with the new mods and the car being AWD I should be able to wind it up a little more...

I am going to need a good pannel beater tho... One that will let me do some of the work to keep the cost down, cause the body is not in the best shape....

[6III]

nice ride man. That's an E6 interior isn't it? are they a direct fit in the cc lancers?

[rock_it]

Yep off an E6.... Not sure if it is a direct fit though ... I am told that the passenger seat should bolt right in ... The drivers seat is meant to need a little modification ... And the back seat looks about the same size.. I think it just bolts up to a different spot... But that can be easily fixed...

Will let you know as it all progresses.. Worse case scenario is I will just re-trim the back seat to match the front...

[rock_it]

Well, thought I would update everyone as it has been a while...

Car is slightly out of alignment... The guard on the drivers side is angled down a little, and it looks as if the pillar going to roof (over the drivers door) is a little out of whack also ... So the car will have to go onto an Auto-robot to ensure she is all back to the right shape...

The other bad news was that on NYE, my mechanic was up on his mates roof watching the fireworks... Umm long story short, he fell off, and broke both arms... So there has not really been any progress to speak of ..

He had pins put in 1 arm and is starting to move around again... So with any luck the car should start coming along again soon... I have been busy working on a Toyota Cressida project also... So the commodore is gone, and when the Lancer is on the road I will look at what I am going to do with the Cressida... Most likely a 2jz conversion... but will see how much cash I have left...

Should mount the coil packl higher than the intake manifold.

Once you lunch it could jerk back and snap a coil, happened to the CREATD lancer once. (unless you solid mount the engine)

Just sit them higher than the i/manifold

Other than that sweeeeeet! and keep us UTD

[rock_it]

Just a quick couple of pics.. Car is almost finished at the pannel beaters ..






So with any luck it should be ready soon ....
