  1. i live in stoke but saw it when was heading to work in tahuna, chris is bloody talented dude does an awesome job at any fabing up anything really, done some super sweet v8s I've seen.
  2. very nice car seen on the way to work the other morning, loving the classic look with hubcaps very smart indeed
  3. thanks heaps guys! very much appreciate the help, now to find a set do any you guys have a spare pair could sell?
  4. i believe starion are 2 bolt pattern also? if they are would be interested to know regardless could be another option, cheers guys
  5. does anyone have a sigma control arm that the could measure the distance from centre to centre of bolt holes,size of bolt holes, and also diameter of the hole where ball joint comes through, any help would be much appreciated, cheers
  6. know of a single gar rear door card, can't remember what side that looked in tidy condition could prob get 4 next too nothing, always handy if running factory interior?
  7. Last night tried one rim on to see how it sat, then thought might swell temporary lower it to see what sort of heights can work with clearances ect, so in went some cutties till got new struts made. also put together a new work bench and got 12a out to start checking over.
  8. got back from chch bit of a slow trip with the 4 speed stuck at 90-100km revving its tits out and a vibration at roughly 70km, scored a 5 speed so just finished putting that in, replaced clutch, pressure plate and release bearing, clutch was definitely on its way out, it was down to the rivets on the flywheel side and had made a mess of the surface so got that machined nice and smooth, got given the wrong release bearing so that made it a bit of a slow process and couldn't get one on saturday or sunday when it was all ready to go back together! then found a bit of play in drive shaft uni's so replaced them also, took it for a test run now does 100km+ and no vibration, result! also new rear shocks have arrived and scored a w55 for next to nothing in a deal so stoked with that. now to get wheels on and start measuring/working out some heights old 4 speed (bye bye) new 5 speed managed to snake a spot in the old boys garage w55 box (i believe?) ditch the bellhousing and sort an adaptor for the 12a new rear shocks, bilstiens suspension tech made for me
  9. quite possibly will have to get under the house and see what have left will let you know
  10. sweet starion love those rims on it looks the bee's knees
  11. it does look a bit like the few been on trade me lately but looks so clean n smart mate i like it! sweet score on the gauges bita quick coins always good!!
  12. sweet mk2 mate, such a cool shape, widened steels look awesome like the factory lotus rims (look so nice with whitewalls n hubbys!), are you still short of 1 hubcap? if so I've got a couple spare possibly from my old mk1
  13. cheers mate I'm hoping they should look pretty sweet on the lancer, got some rear shocks sorted now, so slowly gathering bits need such a pain in the arse working away can't get fuck all done with no tools/shed heres a km48 sachs a local guy put in a kt100 go-kart
  14. found a solution to Ex lancer rear shock, helpful guy called chris at suspension tech is re-furbishing me a set of bilstein shocks to the mirage spec, heres the dimensions if anyone else wanted to do the same thing in the future
  15. have you looked at basis in blenheim? http://www.basisnz.co.nz/category.pasp?categoryid=135 may be worth giving them a ring and see if they can get them? good for little clips ect also
  16. -haha yea snapped up those wheels sorry bro, yea I've seen a few been done before and seen as already got the motor (had a 12at in a 323 hatch once and it went really well always wanted another after sold it), was going do it to the gsr lancer coz it had decent lsd diff, bigger sups, brakes, hydraulic clutch ect but o well i like this one, need to get spare dash got recovered by that crowd who done yours while I'm down this way, looks like they did nice job of yours -yeah hopefully should look allgood, looking forward to getting them on there, liking the widened steels on your wag mate
  17. is it the a71 or a72 mirage rear shock you use to keep springs captive in a ex? does any one know the difference?
  18. thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=34064 keen on any usefull info, feedback ect short term plan being: make some coilovers from 1600 struts ive got, get some new mirage rear shocks n sort some springs to suit, jam on rims, wheel alignment then use it long term: 12at (got motor in pieces, plates been all skimmed, extendported, have both blow thru carb and s5 injected manifolds and adaptor ect not sure what to use yet, collected various bits n pieces for it over the 5 years its sat in the shed), a diff of some description (cheaper the better), re-trim interior pieces that are rough to original (i love the factory brown interiors for some weird reason) and a lick of some fresh orange again
  19. Been looking for a tidy ex for awhile now since i sold my last one to my younger bro for way to cheap and the little prick wont sell it now, looks quite smart now with a bit of a tidy up was a bit off a pig wen picked it up with a locked diff, sun faded paint ect ect, giving him a hand to do all this lowering, cut n polish (all the things can do on his tight budget) kinda inspired me to get another, heres some pics so last week picked up a ex lancer from a nice old chap in christchurch while down there for work, just spotted it tucked in behind his fence on way to work so stopped in that night, bit of bartering and he caved as he needed money for his morris minor project, its nice and tidy hes looked after it well just had cambelt done all the fluids changed, interiors not too bad for age couple of cracks in the dash and drivers side door cards have come away at the top, also brought some 15x7 rims from phil (ke36) with intentions off putting on r31 wagon but dont think they would of filled the gaurds that well, should look smart on the lancer tho so just need to get the car back to nelson in 2 weeks so can start sorting out the suspension side of things, heres couple of pics of my old gsr ex miss this thing, regret selling it but really wanted to go live in england at the time so sold it, at a mates xmas bbq a few years ago thort it would be a good idea to pop its tyres haha also bit of a side project turned up last week more to come on this later
