EX 2000 Turbo Lancers

AFAIK even the 'auto' Lancers were assembled locally, for McErnearny (?)Ltd., at Amalgamated Industries Ltd. at Tumpuna Road, Arima. My Dad worked there for many years.

Subject to correction here... but all 'local' Lancers had the chassis numbers on a welded plate on the left side strut tower. Foreign Lancers had the chassis number "stamped" onto centre/right side of firewall. Amalgamated Industries didn't have that type of stamping equiptment AFAIK.

That's one way to 'spot' a bogus "foreign" GSR with local old plates trying to "beat the taxman". All genuine JDM GSRs has numbers on firewall. If there's any repair around left strut tower... and more fresh paint around firewall... BUY ANOTHER GSR! Either buy a "taxed" foreign used car (with "papers") or a local conversion with real certified copy with registered changes.

These "falsies" can/ will (eventually) be confiscated by Licencing Officers/Police.

some tips to make ur LIGHTS look new

reverse lamp- wash out lenses and paint the entire metal part white..not silver.
front bumper indicators-could do the same as above.
rear lights-once is original stanleys take a small brush an wash out the dust from inside.
problem with the front grill with d clips by the park lamps..hold it down in place then tie it with a thin piece of wire runnin from the outside to inside

Cool

^ Nice tips man, also, with the back lights (or reverse etc.) you can cut "crome" Vinyl and cover the reflector on the inside, carefully though, cutting on the curves to lay it down properly.

saw a guy with Capri headlights, same shape and size just needs to be mounted upside down. You end up with a double headlight. Looks sporty but..........
I'll try to find some pics somewhere.

^^^The Capri lights don't look half bad. I was contemplating a double headlight conversion for mine, and a change of grille too, but I think I will stay with the original look.
^Sweet, Gsr?

^Wonder if when is time for me to get a second car for daily running if that would be a good option. I not too keen on getting a front wheel drive car. Only prob with that option is parts.
