Hi all,

Just thought I'd update those interested on the progress of my build

The car finally went to the panel shop for the top coat of paint .... and it has come up "awesome"!

Check out the link below for all the pics

Hi Rob and welcome, I'll dig up some pics of a chasis drag Scorpion from around 25 years ago and post them here ! .... that's what got me started liking these and the Lancers (Plymouth Arrows) :) Here they are :| It was a 350 chev powered thing running about 8 or 9 secs in the mid/late 80's ! http:/...

Do you know why they call spoilers "spoilers" .... obvious realy - they spoil the looks of most cars :o Goodness knows what those "planks" running down the side of the car are, and what on earth was going through someones mind with that front "bib thingy" (designing or ...

Hi Bob,

How much was the windscreen ? .... I'll be needing one soon !

You need to register on the LB/LC registrar and show us some pics of the beast !

Cottee, (my opinion only) those fender mirrors are horrible with a capital H :$ I'm trying to find some nice mirrors to replace the "very unstylish" standard mirrors that came on my LC. Who in their right mind would put "round" mirrors on an otherwise very sharp square edged car ...

Not wanting to get "off topic", but "tracking" as geezer was saying is caused by the geometry set up (mostly scrub radius) ! Fit wheels that put all of the offset to the outside and it will "dart & dive" all over the place on bumpy roads and also be harder to turn w...

Hi all, Thought I might post a bit of an update on where my cars at (H) I've had my LC Lancer since about 1991 ..... when I bought it for my wife. I had seen an LB drag car at Calder several times (a 440ci Super Gas class car - they run a 9.90 sec dial in). It was a plain white car (I think it was a...

Nice

The Globes are a huge improvement over the stock rims !
14 x 6 or 7" I presume with 205's ?

Hey Cottee, I may be able to help you out with door trims (or the material for them??) I'm re-trimming mine in something else completely ! Do you need the front indicator in the bumper of the donor car ? I'll let you know which side ! Man, you've taken on "alot" of rust .... I'm feeling mu...

This is an area for Owners of ... LB/LC Lancer ... Celeste ... Arrow ... Hatchbacks. ....... so other owners with "like passions" can easily make contact for relevant info etc.... QLD: Site name: lancersr20 Location: Gold Coast Car details: 1980 LC Lancer, "highly customised" SR2...

Just in case anyone's interested .... I have some original LC Lancer wheels For Sale !
Will go to the tip if knowone takes them off me

Oh dear, that's not what the script says

Here's their website .... give them a call ! www.pick-a-part.com.au I won't be getting out that way for quite a while - this was the first time in about 2-3 years ! Seats - you'll have to ask those specific questions ! Like I said - the back seat uppers seemed good ... but the drivers seat base was ...

.............. and what happened ?????

Hi Cottees, The front door trims were "mint" but the rears had a speaker hole added ! The front seats were crap and only the rear upper seats were still there - but can't remember condition ! Good I would suspect (as knowone sits in these!) The centre console was in good condition save for...

Hi all, I wasn't sure where to post this ? ...... I got sooooo excited when I stubbled across it today :| There is a Brown LC Lancer at Pick a Part in Kilsyth Victoria for anyone interested. It is fairly complete ...ish and especially has some good frt door trims, dash & console bits and the dri...

I agree with all of the above !

Take it from someone who is STILL currently finishing off an SR20 into an LC Lancer

Will be a brilliant car ..................... when finished

"Bloody top job" George

Is the interior as good as the engine bay and outsides ??

Acrylic or 2 pack paint ?

Lindsay

Man, I'd kill for a dash like that :P .... and a nice lookin unit ! If anyone happens to have a "parts LB/LC" crashed badly, I'm really after the steel cockpit area that the dash sits on. I need this to send with my dash to have it re-skinned, without it .... I'm stuffed :( Any offers ??? ...

I can recommend that the Mazda diffs are strong (550hp strong enough in turbo rotary sports sedan) with a spool (mini spool I think)
Lots of ratios available from 3.7 to 5.1 ish I think ... out of the light truck series of Mazdas

Hi all,

For those of you "hunting" Scorpion bits & peices in Victoria, there is a very clean one (just arrived 22nd May) at "Pick Pay Go in Ringwood"
Also, a LC Lancer and a Galant that may be of interest !

Lindsay

Hi all, For those of you "hunting" LC Lancer bits & peices in Victoria, there is a Silver one at "Pick Pay Go in Ringwood" that has some good bits on it - depending on what you want of course :) Also, a just arrived very clean and straight Scorpion (on 22nd May) and a Galant ...

Gees, I'm gunna show my age here :o I bought our 1980 LC Lancer back in around 1989 .... around 4 - 5k I think ! The reason was simple ...... being involved with Shows/Drags/V8s etc..... at the time, I saw this "Plymouth Arrow" actually that was running at the drags around that time in &qu...

Looks like a nice clean car !!!

Given they are so hard to find.... would have thought they would be asking more than $1850 ..... Who would sell a car on Ebay though ???

Hi Roger, Yes ..... front radius rod ! Urethane bushes are all that is available - as far as I know ! The bush (new urethane ones) is allowing plenty of movement from what I can see ! I'll investigate Sigma radius rods ...... at least there are still plenty of them at wreckers ..... haven't come acr...

Hi all, Does anyone know if the LC Lancer front caster bar is different to any of the early Lancers or Sigmas etc.... The reason I ask is this ! I'm using a Sigma Lower control arm (pressed style and can't remember which one) and attaching the LC caster bar to it. The angle is giving me some concern...

The engine bay is probably your "safest bet" and the effect of temperature will not be a "big deal". I'd be much happier with that option than Leoca's
Mine is built into the fuel tank btw - but I know that is not what you want to do !!

Just looking at those interior shots and was wondering if a 6' guy could actually fit in the back. I jumped in the back of mine last weekend just to make sure the back seat was useful - it wasn't :( So it got tossed out to make way for "custom" rear compartment area. It will have a "g...

Hi all, I'm Lindsay from Berwick Melbourne. I've been in the background from time to time on the Lancer Lair (as my enthusiasm dictates). Some of you will have heard from me over the past few years. I have a "photo bucket" area where you can veiw the extensive list of mods going on with my...
