@Death-Row - you better hurry... they're slowly sinking due to the scrappers. In the far flung areas here in the (P.I.) Phil Islands, some of the stories I heard were really heart breaking. I wish I saved the picture. My buddy was assigned to work there and on his way to the hotel, he saw a perfectly straight EX Turbo being chopped at the window pillars!! Crying or Very sad

@Mishi - Thanks for the welcome. The car was an import from Japan and was a RHD so I had to buy steering parts from a domestic Lancer and converted it to Left hand drive. Engine wise there was no mods. Not that many engine parts since the G62b didn't come out locally. I had to buy parts from the US to make it run better, new injector seals and throttle body gaskets.

TonyX44,hey, how hard it is it to aquire parts for the box type lancer on your side? body parts to be exact. i know quite a few lancers for sale for good prices, chassis good and stuff, just the body parts gots quite a few rotten spots on them and would be hard to restore.

body parts are still available... PM me on the parts that you need... i'll check it out for you.

ayt?

@venum... thanks for the welcome... never did like hangin' the Malaysian forum as they like to drop Nissan engines in their rides... I really think that's wrong... I'd upgrade to a meaner engine but I'll see to it that it's a MITS still..

@Zodiaque... thanks..... good luck on the body work
