OK, Im over the yellow paint job!

Does anyone have any inspirational paint coulours or ideas on what colour i should paint it?

Post pics or let me know any colours-

So i thought i'd update my lancer pics... Have finished painting all the bumpers and side rubber with the 3m Bumper Black....

Came up a million $$ and the modgies look mint

Dont those BLACK PLATES LOOK SEXY!!!!!

Have also pulled boot lid off and have sanded it down and primered it... now painting it black to match the door sills and engine bay. The engine bay is looking a little tiresome so i might freshen it up with a coat.

So have done a couple of things since my last post...

I brought an audi badge, painted it black and whacked it on the front.

Also brought some suzuki lettering courtesy of Grant (thanks mate) and have renamed her the "SIKZUKI" (sick zuki)

So heres a pick of the front to date...

I have also smoked all lights with tint spray... so will be reomoving that soon as i brought proper window tint... and will be doing them with that and also on my ex lancer...

Purchased some 3m Black bumper acrillic paint from supercheap auto the other week so decide to crack onto that yesterday.

The bumpers and side bits were becoming a bit faded and tiresome so 1st things 1st

PREP! taped her up

Then ran a quick hand sand to smoth it out and gave it a couple of coats... CAME UP GREAT!

Wasnt to sure what to do with the lancer tag towards the rear wheel arch so i left it... Then had a sudden flash and stole me partners nail art brush and got my chrome bumper spray out. Done a paint(reluctantly) over the "lancer" part. Then i sprayed the chrome bumper paint into a container lid and hand painted the lancer back on. 1st coats down and will give it a second tomorrow. didnt come up too bad!

Then off came the paper and tape and it turned out sweet. Next is the rear bumper and other side...

As some of you know that have read my ex lancer project/build up I have a suzuki carry van.

I scored it when i swapped for my mazda familia...

Heres how she came.

It a mint wee van. It came with a full panel and paint of Suzuki (ninja) green, 13" Black n chrome mags, tints, recovered black vinyl doorcards and black carpet. Looks the part for sure!

I have since owning it- Replaced the tyres with 4 brand new buggers, installed a sound system, vynil sprayed the dash black, done rust repairs to the driversside guttering above the sliding door, replaced the steering rack, colum and bushes, replaced the cambelt and water pump and have given her a full on top to toe service and tune up.

Have just recently purchase some super bright head lights, park lights and tail lights and have smoked all indicators and the rear break lights with tint spray.

Sound system includes- 2x boss blade 12 inch subs running off 2x boss monoblocks, fusion 6 x 9's on brackets in the rear(had to keep it green) 2x 4" fusions up front, 2x panasonic componets on the roof with custom mounts and a JVC head deck.

Recently purchased a tripple 12" sub box. so will be addin another sub and amp to the mix haha.

Plans- Bucket seats and a sound seat for now.

Concepts for sound seat-

Will update soon..

Right Oh, Have uploaded some of the pics from my last post including the interior. As you can see the carpet went in well, the mats looks the part and the door cards came up a million dollars. Thats pretty much it for inside Have hooked up a couple of smoked gages as you can see in the pic. ANNOYINGLY infront of the clock haha.

Oh yeah and as you can see kind of in the other photos i decided to put those MONZA leather buckets in the lancer... I modified the bottom plate on the bucket seats by drilling two new hole which would suit the ex lancer factory rails. Was a snug fit but they are in haha

Brought some modgies and they were sprayed black. They're in mint condition no curbing all centercaps ect so i sandblasted the front and polished the back side then restored them back to chrome. Look nicer than the black 17" i done earlier. I have also fitted the Grill and mounted some black fenders.

Off to auto paint on central park drive this saturday. They match any car colour no matter what the paint and give you 2x spray cans for $50. Only on saturdays and they close at 12 or 1. They have mean customer service and help you with any painting need including paneling (DAMIEN!!!!) haha I need to do a few touch ups here and there as there is a small rust buble annoying me on the front of the bonnet! you can kind of see it in the pic above. I brought some 3m black bumper paint from supercheap and am hopefully going to paint all the black trim on the outside to freshin things up. Will post some pics of this...

Also got some sexy looking, really well made speaker spacers for the back of the EX's parcel tray.

They were a bit shabby but witha good clean and a vynil painting of black they came up mint! Have got the type R components and the soundstreams sitting in them at the back.

So alot of work ahead for the weekend! Fingers crossed.

AND thank YOU mr two days... Bingo, check the pics out now aircooled... Thanks heaps

wouldnt have a clue, i just basically copied the url from my photobucket after i clicked on the pic to enlarge...put the little things either side of the url so it looked like [ i m g ]http://www.blahblahblah.com[ / i m g ] (i spaced out the img things so it didnt think it was a real url or anything) but it looks like that so yeah? played around with it but cant figure it out? HELP!! haha

Tried both your ways, album was set Private but set it to public... and also change all the urls/links like twodays said... but nothings changed... anyone else got any clues???

Ok, i purchased my Ex a few months back now... so i thought id post my progress on the beast...

Purchased this Ex lancer on trademe had a rough yellow closed door paint job, 17" black and chrome mags and gsr bucket seats, on cutties.

Was pretty much a quick fix to sell .

So 1st thing to go was the mags .

Put them on my mazda familia as they were a 4 x 114.3 & 4 x 100 multi stud

then swapped that familia for this mint suzuki carry van HAHAHAHA SCORE !!!

MAZDA-

SUZUKI-

found and brought another cheap pair of 17" mags until i find some more oldschool looking rims.

So it came up like this...

Looked fine, for now....

Next on the agenda was the bucket seats... I hate the GSR ones so off they went on trade me

So the search was on! i found some cream recaro bucketseats from a lantra??? or something and they looked the part and fitted the oldschool look...

The fabriq was ripped here and there but it didnt mind me...

Got bored one day so i decided to paint the 17"s black. Went to auto paint on central park drive, the hooked it up... got some gloss plack mag/wheel paint they told me what sandpaper to used and how to do it an all...

so i sanded them back etch primered and painted them gloss black... Left the chrome center caps and they came up like this!

Not to shabby!

Next was the back seat... Looked high and low for an EVO 1 rear seat but couldnt find one... so i replaced the old ripped one with a standard cream one... gave it a clean with some fabriq cleaner and it came up ok...

It was a cold morning and the Ex decided to suck a kumara... wouldnt start but turned over a little... thought it was the battery but it was relatively new... so went to super cheap auto and got me a performance coil and a contact set

Brought a pair black and grey leather bucket seats off trademe, not to sure if im going to put them in the van or the lancer yet will have to wait and see...

They have an ugly ass 'playboy' stiched right in the middle of the seat! (it is yellow though) haha might see what i can do with it...

Brought Karlb's 'Karl's 82 Ex Lancer build Discussion viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26463' Ex lancer grill as i wanted something different, Shot for the grill bro ...

was straight as just needed a new paint and bade as it didnt come with it...

came up like this after i pulled it apart, cleaned the lights, sand blasted it, sprayed it black and scored a ralliart badge off trademe for $5 haha...

Next was the Dash... took the old brown shitty one out...sanded the cracks down a little to make them flush, spot putty/ bogged it up then 3M vynil painted it gloss black...

Also scored a sas racing wheel and boss kit so decided to put that in too...

Came up a million dollars, and back in it went....

YAY!!!! Scored some MINT!!! Black and grey GRS EX LANCER door cards ....

just need a bit of a clean...

Also painted all the window winders, arm rests and ashtrays with that 3M vynil black and the fit on a breeeeze....

My little brother being such a GC brought me some black and yellow MOMO floor mats for Christmas...

Look exactly like this...

stands out with the yellow paint job... I also brought some of this yellow trim off trademe for $2.99 a meter on trademe, This dude as some MINT good quality products for cheap! Check him out!

I put the trim on the dash, down the center consol and on the door cards(looks mean in the armrest/handle grooves and fits perfect...

Pulled the shitty brown carpet out today, the pedal mat was ripping off a bit

Got the hook up through my work when an AUTEX® sale rep came in and said he would help me out.

He dropped off a roll of Blackish, grey carpet(was ment for the suzuki carry but) decided to throw it in the EX...

I cut it to fit the floor, parcel tray and boot and still have a little left over. LOOKS LIKE NEW!!

Decided to hook some sounds up today as the EX had nothing, not even a head deck... Have a really Dope set up in the van and had a few things lying around. Couldnt find any stereo wires what so ever so decided to go through one of the connector wires. Just ran the memory through the power earthed the beast and wella... had the head deck going... Its only a cheapo JVC but does the trick... Next was the speakers... and not suprised but YAY no speaker wire hahaha so re ran a wired the speaker wire with some fusion speaker wire i had lying around and it worked... So i hooked up my Soundstream sps 6" speakers and have just left them sitting in the tray under the glove box as i didnt want to cut any holes in my precious GSR door cards HAHA... I think i might cut a hole in that tray and try and box them underneath??? next was the ALPINE TYPE R components... These speakers are the SHHHIIIIAAAATTTTT.... haha the tweeters on this set up will burst ear drums... set these up in the rear parcel tray with the crossovers next to them and the tweeters by the seat belt... put my soundstream Lil Wonder II in the middle of the parcel tray and ran the wires through the tray to the boot where the black and yellow kicker sub awaits haha... mean set up for the Lancer i think...

Will throw some pics up this weekend... and keep updating as i go, thats it so far so as far as aesthetics go im just about done... then on to the 4g63 after i save HAHAHA merry Xmas and happy new year to all the Oldschoolians... EVOLPEACE out!!!

The Beast get slots of looks and laughs haha

DOPE AS!!

using it as a daily while im sorting out my EX Lancer-

Dope thread bro- What part of NZ are you in? wouldnt mind having a chat about it... thanks

Your front grill is sick, anyone know where to get one of those with the spotlights init? looks mean bro- keep it on the modgies haha

Thanks Damien... Yeah all my springs are cut too and turboex wants an arm and a leg for a starndard set...

Im after a standerd set of springs for my lancer to get a WOF...

If anyone can help PM me...

as a last resort-

If your in auckland i wouldnt mind just borrowing them for the WOF...

THANKS

anyone got any spare ex lancer springs? i need some for my gsl 1600 version- can buy or if in auckland could i borrow them to get a WOF... thanks

do you have any spare ex lancer springs to fit a 1600?

Bro, I just got my ex and the dude i brought it off cut a few coils off the top to give it a sacked look.

I took it into mag and turbo and they offer me a few options...

1- get shortened shocks to make them captive(wayy less bouncey)

2- Get a new set of springs and compress them? (but i dont think they will sit as low)

3-(what im going to do) Get new springs and shortened shocks, The dude said compressing the spring with make the ride smoother and then they just shorten the shock to make the captive(no cert) and i was looking at about 1200 for a new set of springs and shock(pretty mint)

if you want a cheaper option then get some shocks out of a mirage to make them captive, they're short anyway and just take 1 and a half to 2 coils off you springs and you'll have no troubles with wof and cert... My ex is on 17" DTMs and looks sacked aspretty mint

Ok, i just purchased my Ex a few weeks back now and there a few things i want to do to it...

so, any help/opinions on the following-

-Does any one know if any other rear seats go in the EX? i have seen evo 1-3 seats in the back of some but was wondering how hard it'll be to modify them and if they need modifying?

-I need a few bits and pecies for her, front ash tray, Door pin(lock) chrome, rear drivers side door card, passengers front seat belt plastic cover up top, Boot carpet(in black if possible), car carpet(also in black if possible), front radio plastics and the rear springs...

If i dont get the rear springs the mag& turbo guy gave me a pretty mint deal for some springs and shocks in my tyre package...

Currently- Ive cut about 1.5 coils off front and rear(still 100mm clearance) put the mags on, tinted rear, and back sides(want to professionally do it), has GSR front recaro seats in it, momo racing wheel and boss kit.

I will be- Professionally lowering it(mag and turbo) on springs and shocks, custom insalling my sounds, new tyres, putting black carpet in(car &boot), want to put a evo 1 rear seat in, restore dash and vynil paint it black with yellow trim & customise interior to match, recover the door cards in a black with yellow trim, ect ect...

If any one knows or has any cheap parts hit me up... or if they can do me a deal on a 4g63t + installment or installing a 13b let me know...

and if anyone has their EX lancer project feel free to post me the link or show me some pics chur

Any inspirational EX lancer pics chuck em up
