Can't tell if Aus fwd GSR or Jap Cyborg 4wd

Postby **NitroDann** » Wed May 21, 2014 12:41 pm

Its actually a 1990 model Lancer hatch, in America called a Colt, and later year models called a Mirage in Aus.

So essentially, lets just say its a Mirage, it has an Evo floorpan welded into it, 3x mechanical LSD's, Evo engine, Custom tubular manifold, 3" exhaust, external gate, ID1000s on E85, 288* cams, portwork, 6 piston Brembos on the front and 4 piston on the rear, with a carbon dash and a DataPack race display with some mechanical guages for important stuff as backup.

Im sure I have missed heaps it has lexan windows and custom this that the other, fuel system, throttle body etc etc

Yeah I know it's a Lancer.
Just in Aus we got the "sporty" gsr model which had alloys.
In Japan (and all across NZ) they got the "Cyborg" model which came with the 1.6L turbo (4G61???) and 4wd drive line.

none of this means much if it's got all those goodies now though.

That was for everybody playing at home

But yeah it started life as a pov pack 2wd and was given to Dion, my right hand man at the shop.

These are corbon fibre ones but it's probably that company.

But will it just be another strut brace affair on weight vs performance gain?

Most likely. I'll copy the Boss Frog Arms but if you have a better idea, feel free to post up a sketch. As long as it's cost effective I'll build them. Price is $200 and remember there's a powdercoating cost in that too.

You have my attention Richard. What other toys do you have? Mainly, does your laser have a chuck and can you cut RHS and pipe?
