Hi everybody

My vic plates "OWLNCR" are still for sale and btw, they will be going to the person that buys my car from Lloyd's classic car auction on the 25th March (if they are from Victoria).

Anyone else, make me an offer

Lindsay

Thanks mate

Hi Ryno, Very nice original car and the same colour mine was. That old lady must have been a real "rocker" .... with the Pioneer Componant cassette deck and amp - classic 80's hard core stereo (H) If you want some parts, just buy my car (it's FOR SALE) and save yourself lots of time and mo...

Hi all,

Thought I'd just mention that I'm selling my 1980 LC Lancer (in the Lancer section)

Please view the For Sale section for all the info

Hi Sven,

This is the info on the car in question

The Engineer did all the brake testing required. x number of .5g stops etc.... without fade all logged with a computer.

So hopefully no problem

Hi Karl,

The motor is set back a fair way (the firewall is recessed about 25mm and the tunnel was massively modified to fit the big nissan gearbox.

So basically, the motor went rearward as much as required until it cleared the drag link

Lindsay

These plates are still for sale.

If anyone is interested, just PM me

Are you absolutely sure that you need a booster to be legal?

Mine hasn't got one (for the same space restrictions) and the Engineer had no problem with it at all.
Was registered in Vic and simply changed over now into QLD reg.
I'm used to it now so you just push the pedal harder

Thanks orangelancer :) I hope you may have picked up on the interior theme. If not, the blue flash on the door trim continues into the rear. It is the shape of the "L" in the Lancer badge. My sister came up with that and we worked around some designs. The interior guy did a great job of it...

Great build Dave ! The engine looks like a really nice fit. How did you get the 295 tyres legal in QLD? Not sure what you did with the bumpers (presume you grafted new ends onto them). I agree with the "more blackouts" comment but this is "your vision" not ours. Would love to vie...

In my opinion - it's got to be a 340 small block. Some w5 or Dart alloy heads, a nice little roller cam and multi point electronic injection. A nice Torqueflite auto (not too much stall) or 5 speed gbox. A decent Chrysler LSD diff with 3.5 gears ..... sounds like HEAVEN !! Exactly what was planned f...

Orangelancer,

Interior pics as requested.

Here's one and the rest (about 20) are in my photobucket folder.

I just rang my windscreen man and he organises it through the windscreen people.
No need to get it yourself!

Belial

Windscreens are readily available so don't know why you would have any trouble.
I believe they are made up here in QLD if new stock needs to be made!

I will take some interior shots and add them to my photobucket soon and let you know.
The green Lancer is a really nice job- and a quick car too I'd suggest with the turbo Nissan

Bloody "mint" car you picked up :D Love your ideas ! With the mirrors - I used LX Torana/HX Kingwood ones on mine. Suits the square lines of the car much better than the "silly round standards ones" - which I note yours doesn't have :\ I presume that you won't be fitting the 265 ...

They both go "well enough"

The green one is a CA18 Nissan with t3 turbo !
He is actually thinking of selling for the right price

Gidday Mark, Yeah, the wheels I'm very happy with ! I got it registered the week before we left back in Aug 2014. The maiden voyage was a lazy 2000km (Melb to Gold Coast) and it hasn't missed a beat. (H) Drive her every day. Bumped into "lca18" the other day and we compared nissan powered ...

Thanks Dave :D Scorpma82 - The bracket is "custom". The starion struts are quite different to the Sigma struts so you would have to suss the Magna calipers out. I know the mounting ears on the Starion (from memory) are vastly different ! Belial - The rear bumper was pretty straight forward...

P.S. pic of most of the mods etc.... are in my photobucket link

Struts are Sigma large diameter with VP Commodore top hats and very modified Sigma lower arms. Koni's (adjustable) for front I think are RAV 4 revalved etc ..... but can't remember what the rears are? The Magna calipers are adapted via. a "dog bone" steel adaptor that I machined myself - w...

Hi Taz, Mine uses a GE 1979 Scorpion diff with 3.7 (or 3.9 gears) ..... I think it may be the same centre as the standard Lancer ? I did the mods myself. Removed the scorp suspension mounts etc... , Jigged up standard diff, removed leaf spring brackets and welded them back onto the scorp diff. I thi...

Hi all, Now that my car is pretty much "finished", thought I'd post a few pics of her. Feel free to have a look at my photobucket link for a more complete picture of the build that has taken around 5 - 10 years. A quick run down of inclusions: 1980 LC Lancer (purchased 1989 and taken off t...

The "drag car" LB/LCs always look soooo tough
Just the perfect shape car for it !

Btw - It's an LB (not LC) and I'd say closer to the 4k mark + or - a thousand or so !

Thanks guys but I will leave it as it is for now!

Hi Madmuz, I think I can answer some questions ! Sigma diff - not interchangable frt susp struts - yes I think so as i'm using them in mine however I have modified Commodore strut tops and different inserts you can bolt Starion vented discs straight to one of the Sigma front struts (the big bearing ...

Well, you'll all be happy to know that i've "manned up" and have no power steering on my LC Lancer. It is "heavy" to park and manouver around tight round abouts, but once you are moving, it is beautiful to drive :P Just waiting for the arrival of my 17" wheels and new tyres ...

Hi all, As I'm moving to sunny QLD soon, I will be needing to sell my Custom VICTORIAN Plates "OWLNCR" .... Our Lancer. They are blue slim line plates ! They haven't yet been registered to my car - so you will not need to pay the $150 transfer fee Here's the ebay link if anyone is interest...
