I had to hitch a ride with my Dad home today after leaving the Lancer unfinished in the factory. Dropped by my Sisters school where we saw this...

A '76 2 door (Type LA) with Pizza Lancer (CK) Altezza-style tail lights grafted on...


Not something new, I've seen it done before, but what drew me closer was the quality of the work. I'm not the biggest fan of this type of thing but it was well done... workmanship wise. Also grafted a new front end and CB Lancer door handles.

Then I noticed a rather race themed interior... And it looks like a rather serious set up too with a bunch of kill switches..


Then I noticed that there were disc brakes inside the rear wheels... BIG Disc brakes... and that the rear quaterpannels where very much flared...


Which lead me to peek underneath...
This makes my GT rear end swap look soft-core...


Independent rear suspension for rear wheel drive!!! drool :worship: OK!
I can't tell what car it's from... Evo maybe? or Eclipse? Didn't have the time to probe more, or to see if an equally hard core engine is under the hood :ph43r: But I did leave a note on the windshield to join the forum if ever the owner is interested. Looks like this is somebody we can learn a lot from B)

The dragon look a like one is one of the most terrible looking rides I have ever seen. What a sad ending to a good car.

Possible new bosozoku trend?

What is that? Rain forest camo? I hate to think of all the hundreds of extra pounds that poor car has to haul around.

On the other hand, while I'm not overly fond of the bodywork on the black Lancer, the mechanical work seems very impressive. I'd love to know what's powering it.

Haha, I reckon the second one down almost looks alright! From the rear 3/4 view.

Styling seems influenced by mercedes 190E race cars a bit.

I admire the fabrication work on the black car, just not what they chose to do.

Likewise... I actually dig the green ute conversion. I'd drive it, and I'm impressed that it still has the same exact bodylines down the entire vehicle. That thing has potential.

The dragonvomitveiney nasty thing makes me sad though.
