Re: Belial's Mini Mopar (LC Lancer)

The windscreen was a surprise , one of the easiest things l had to find .
Rang a small husband and wife type business in the morning and l think fitted in that afternoon .
I think $170 comes to mind , about 3yrs ago.
Keep up your good work quietly watching your build

exhurst complete what to pay ???

Well the 4g54 is in but not running yet.
Needs to go down to the exhaust shop . What would be a fair price for a complete system , headers etc.. Maybe even a cat.
Is it best to take it down and get it fitted with non running motor or wait till l get it running ??
