So hulk is booked in for a tech inspection on Tuesday , as I have to go to germany for a "few" days of testing for work
So I better pull my finger out
Cheers stealth

Dont you dare touch my stuff till you catch up on all your work then! Its already stripped just need to cut it up and do some magic Its all good im not that stressed ive still got 16 business days So while being under the pump its really not that bigger dead line I will get it done no worries , and...

Dont get to excited At this stage I only need the firewall in so thay can inspect the vehicle to make sure nothing illegal has been going on And yes the new rules are shit , and im quite sure this is not a random thing either But all good , its just motorvation to get the firewall in Anyway another ...

You know it !
Time for sum sleep and off to work in the morning
Its going to take a heap more time to get it done and im under the pump
Cheers stealth

This weeks update is Im currently about halfway through the shaping of the "firewall" or the piece of sheet that looks nothing like a firewall at this point Just a piece of sheet with lots of swaged lines and funny shapes , needs a lot more hours thrown at it before it looks any good , the...

Well got home today to a nasty letter from Queensland Transport today !! As there cracking down on modified cars they have decided that they need to inspect my car within 21 working days or thay revoke my modification permit As well as that there going to do all inspections untill finished :facepalm...

So I have spent another weekend working on hulk Did more work on the hot water side of things got it sorted just needs some more welding and the firewall is completely out now , time to make a cardboard template and then make it out of sheet , got an idea for the hydraulic clutch , using a tn/tp mag...

Yeah once you factor in all the mitsi engines and all the "variants" Hyundai, kia , Chrysler there's a lot of combo's , from 1.6 thur to 3.8 , ally blocks , mivec
As I said soooo many options
Cheers stealth

Ahh memories !
Sorry old person moment , that takes me back like 25 years
Btw , your lancer is going to be a weapon !
Nice work carry on
Cheers stealth

Thats a shame But at least you know your limits, I've seen quite a few on here that didn't know and found out the hard or expensive way Its always a shame to see some poor old car getting butchered Funny part is a few have accused me of this, and think that hulk won't ever see the black stuff But do...

11kg
9 if I lightened it
Cheers stealth

Yup , and gto and fto and la lancer wagon
Cheers stealth

Project zero .com
Bill hinchner auto fab , in America
Is the best option !
Cheers stealth

You would definitely need to cut the tunnel even using the kia gbox which is smaller but a little tunnel mod and that would be the extent of the body work in a Sigma or scorpion body , hoping someone local takes up the challenge ! Anyway if anyone is keen I can start another post just on the v6 and ...

How rare are gb coupes and what are they worth over there ?
Same for gto's ???
Cheers stealth

Oh okay fare enough, it is a massive conversion into a la , I don't think to many people would pull it off But I am surprised that no one's had a crack with a sigma or scorpion I reckon it would be quite easy , theres a mile of room in there engine bays But like you said not to many could be bothere...

Not sure how to take that I need a heap more room around the back of the heads and I don't want it to look like a heap of patches The factory firewall is a one piece stamping and in places its .5 mm thick where its stretched , so trying to make that look unbutchered would be near impossible , withou...

Nice work , you realize that a sigma turbo kit is astron 1 , but can be modded to suit astron 2
I still reckon you should go efi straight up
And are you fitting a oil drain to the sump , while its on the stand ?
Cheers stealth

Here's a pic of the "upper part" of the hot water side This is a mix and match of parts from pagero , triton and challenger But yes I have to modify it and not just a little it doesn't fit under the bonnet and hits the rocker cover , the connecting pipe to the rear housing is to long and t...

The flywheel you can use a magna flywheel
As for the clutch count the spline on the imput shaft either 21 or 23 tooth and measure the dia of the flywheel once you get it
Cheers stealth

Is the wheel track close ? I reckon its do able but who are you going to get to fit it ? How much will that cost ? Would it not be cheaper to mod your struts for coilovers and just buy a hop stoppers big brake kit and fit it in a day ? Rather than paying someone to mod your chassis rails , then you ...

Any decent suspension place should be able to suppy brand new leaf springs , like lovells
Cheers stealth

Mate its only worth something if you can find someone who needs it
Your probably better off throwing it on ebay
The gearbox is worth the most out of it , id say 200 for the box
But be prepared to wait a while before it sells, if at all !
Just my 2 cents
Cheers stealth

There is a factory 8 bolt lsd center , thay are rare 'ish and come up for sale now and then
Thats the good news , will cost you about a grand
Lancer ex's were a 10 bolt and dont fit La's without shorting and all new mounts !
Cheers stealth

Yeah , I need to sort what I want to do with the intake manifold as that will set where the water pipe will fit So I need to make a few parts fit up the second half of the intake and then make the custom water housing Also starting to look at doing the firewall and tunnel , I bought a sheet of 1mm c...

If your prepared to make all new mounting points and the ae86 is millimeter perfect for width it might work Be careful though it may not produce good results The lancer front end has some bad angles in its design , if you were to stiffen the front end mounting and lower the radius rod pivot there a ...

How is the progress coming along guys ?
Any pics
Cheers stealth

Good stuff mate , so when is the conversion going down?
What are your plans
Btw I have a heap of wideblock parts too
Cheers stealth

Thanks for all the kind words guys I too cant wait tills its done , but baby steps So to work out how much clearance or lack of there is under bonnet I removed the bonnet skin http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo27/samandotto/Mobile%20Uploads/20160313_113211_zpsqiiphmqo.jpg http://i358.photobucket....

Its a bad camera angle But yes its close , I can get filter on and off no worries but I will be facing the spacer another 5mm and then it will be sweet Its not close compared to many other items More Clearance is the dream ! It's only going to be harder from here on in , the water intake manifold at...
