Hi, new member

Postby Spetz » Mon Dec 12, 2011 7:24 pm

Hi guys,

I own a 2001 Lancer coupe with a 6A12 MIVEC in it.
This was my first car bought a long time ago, with the conversion done in 2004, but it was left for years and now recently I have a rekindled interest in it.

I hope to interact with all of you here on the boards :)

EDIT:
Modifications include a fully rebuilt 6A12 MIVEC, ported heads, extractors, exhaust, ported intake, larger TB and an e-manage.
Gearbox is a Cyborg RS item + Cusco 1.5 way LSD.
Suspension includes Tein SS coilovers, whiteline strut braces and F&R adjustable swaybars + all bushes upgraded. 205-45-16 Bridgestone S-02 tires.
Brakes are FTO all round.
Interior is black MR, JDM dash + climate control, FTO instrument cluster, and black Integra Type R recaros on Evo VI rails, Razo gearknob, RPW quickshifter, Isotta steering wheel.

Updated.
My location keeps changing but for what it's worth the car is located in Australia

It weighs 1080kg with full trim etc in it.
However the Recaro seats are 19kg each as is the yellow top optima battery.
I plan on taking the bodykit off and changing the rear seats from folding to fixed which I expect to be about 15-20kg weight saving, and if I also put stock seats in and a normal battery I expect it'd be around 1030kg.

Not heavy, especially compared to an FTO

The problem with weight is it's easy to add on and hard to take off :(
It weighs 80kg more than standard, and only 22kg of that is attributed to the engine :shock:
