FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 5:54 pm

here ya go.. stop filling up my other thread with junk about safety crap... lol

plans are:

Tein Coilovers
LSD
Uprated CVs
Checking legality of cages
maybe safety harness
Some sort of launch controll?

cut loose with comments in here

Tein product graph.......

fto is compatible with the lancer CE.. so you probly have the SS, Flex, and mono Flex... and gravel. G4 street coilovers are probly inbetween SS and Flex for spring rate but I think have stiffer shocks than flex.

Gizzmo Launch Interface is an aftermarket launch controller if your aftermarket ECU wont do it. erm.. think it needs the Gizzmo Shift Light with Memory for it to work though.

other chassis/suspension parts..... Jspeed side strut tower bar... Sumo Power rear cross bar....poly upper/lower engine mounts.. whiteline anti lift kit - no ones mentioned that one

You don't need any more HP .... and aside from the sh*t in the other thread, here's some ideas ..... this is more a list of my plans that I would like to get done eventually, some things sooner than others ....

After the front bar;

Custom Rear Bar,
Custom fabricated front quarter panel vents
Side skirts,
Respray
re-upholster the rest of the Interior in leatherette - All panels & replace all interior cloth,
Custom fibreglass, Perspex & leatherette boot install
Make some custom rear lights
Engine bay dress up
Get a bunch of the interior plastic bits chromed... door cups, air con vents, seat belt guides, door handles, lock levers etc etc...
replace handbrake with aftermarket (isotta etc) HB with leather gaitor..
Definitely the LCD panels in sunvisors

& get that X-BOX in

I want to see that fridge finished as well ...
Underbody Neons
Fold-down rear seats .... or if you want to be more creative, make your rear seats roll forward

........Aaaannd theres no way you will do it, but you could make your car a convertible

Oh & a....
!!!!!!!!!!! Flux capacitor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you do realize putting a 360 in your car will give it the ring of death.... and probably scratch the crap out of your DVD's, your never ever meant to tilt the 360 when running a game or you will get MASSIVE scratches...

and over heating problems... them things need to be aired...

$20,000 for a second diff?! i know there's more to it than that, but how come you didnt start off with a gto, gtr, gtir, legnum vr4, rvr, rex,evo to name a few?

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 8:32 am

where's the proper bucket seats? You need a reclineable one if you going to keep your back seat

Get a set and then retrim it with suede/leather

Perfect for track day!!

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 11:03 am

I quite like my seats though...

and after spending weeks installing massagers and heaters into em, i really dont feel like doing it again...

that said, it may be something to do down the track..

I don't think it is a 360 ... Assuming its a modded normal X-BOX cause all the games are loaded on ... although it might still be a prob unless the HDD is installed in shock resistant mounts...

Nah original Xbox...
It would be removable for track days, etc...

And i'll be modifying it to handle the bumps
