[Bullitt]

Bit hard to tell from the photos but the orange shell dont look that bent...wouldnt it have been easier to fix that?

[Brock-Lee]

Looks awesome dude. Hopefully we get to see this at full noise at a trackday.

[Sparkle]

fucking awesome. Brown one looks better than that yuck orange anyhow. Plz go for some wide 14/15s and sell rs5s for max profit

[Snoozin]

^ Then it's just a macabre clone.

I say keep the RS5's and slam the crap out of it, and fit brakes which warrant having 17" wheels draped on top of them.

Cool project though man!

[NewGuy]

Tiote Project man.

I know i should have just fixed my old shell after i crashed it but it would have still cost me more than what my current project has cost.
Would be keen to do this conversion in the near future.

whaaa? lolz. so you're saying any EX in stock colours on nice 14s/15s will look exactly like tanks? wtf?? So ogres one looked exactly the same too?

[Trigger]

Another mint Ex,

Keep it O.G (brown with the standy 13's!)

No he's saying a gold/brown one would. Which is right.

I dug that orange so vote repaint, but mean all the same

[Glancn]

Man, super tidy looking! EX Lancers look pretty good on new school mags though.

Still totally disagree, if wheels are totally different then how can it look the same? Beige and dark brown are totally different colours as well. Ones light, ones dark.

Anyway, red coloured centre rims would look cool with brown I reckon.

I misread and thought you put 'steels' in there somewhere bro, since basically 9/10 times that's what you recommend

Burnt orange on brown would be ACE colour scheme. But stick with the RS5's. Just make sure it's dropped.

to tha flaw?

[lowlancer]

I vote repaint still. Not a fan of that colour at all, though it's not really important.

And keep RS5s/sell and import something unusual

Hey Guys

Shit, i didnt even realise that this Discussion was around. Shows how much attention i pay!

I love the 80's brown and mite just respray it that colour. 13" rims are staying! haha. I wana suprise the hell outta people and look at there faces. Altho im not too sure if its going to be that quick. Heres hoping!

I still have the RS5's, but im in 2 minds about them. They look cool, but they raise the car, and they attract unwanted attention. Me being paranoid.

As for paint, what ya think?

Hey Ke36, ive been looking at your build closely. Im thinking of just widening, the 13"rims to 7" and putting some tiny tyres on. Try and strecth some 175/50/13's on

I have no idea what power it was making. The guy who owned it before me, didnt get it dyno'd. He got it tuned (I dont know how without dyno) just so he can drive it in time for new years. 5 days apparently it was on the road. Then he stacked it!

Yep, full Evo engine, which is a pain, cos they have modified the gearbox, like relocate the starter position. And i cant put on a RWD 6 bolt flywheel coz its Evo 7 Bolt. So if i blow this gearbox,which i no doubt will, i HAVE to rebuild it. Gearbox is standard Sigma. Ive had these behind VR4 engines before, and they hold there ground. 3rd gear syncro is what gives up i think

[Trigger]

Yea reckon the low key, standy look

but I think traction will be a "challenge" with any wheels/tyres
