I think its a 2nd Gen Colt aka 1st Gen lancer. 1st Gen Colt was a Galant.

Still considered 1stGen... LA, LB and LC. This is an LB so think of it like a version 1.2. Officially the EX/ Box type is the 2nd Gen.

No EX Turbo yet... But (3 days ago) I got these...

Original Made in JDM Land Advan Turbo!!

13x5 offset 40.

I decided that the Advan Turbo's don't really fit the car's character so I offered them for Sale/Swap. Got an offer for 13x7 Original ATS....

So today; No more Advan Turbo's...

Swapped for Orig ATS... 13x7 complete with Center Cap!

Din't even bring them home... straight to Master Wheels for refurbishing to look like this;

Got my ATS back from Master wheels...

Tein Green Roll Bar

tein actually makes a roll bar for a early lancer? o_O Looks good man, yeah I agree those turbo wheels dont quite fit on the car. They would probably look much better on a box type. I love those ats wheels though. nice score!

Oh! Sorry for the confusion! No... Tein does not make a roll bar for Early Lancers. I had the roll bar custom fabricated by SMT based on the original Safari Rally Car's roll bar with a few modifications. It's just that when I took it for powdercoating they had a shade of green exactly the same as Tein's signature color so we've been calling the color 'Tein Green' :mrgreen:

Yeah, I like the ATS much better too. The Turbo's would be perfect for a Box and that's where their going :twisted:

ah ok that makese sense lol. I couldnt belive tein actually made one

I've been thinking about putting a cage in my lancer as I am putting in my g54b turbo engine this week and I feel I need to do something to the chassis to stiffin it up and give me some safety if I crash as I know these cars dont hold up well since they are so light.

I know someone who rolled a 1stGen several times totally wrecking the car... no cage or anything... he walked away from the crash. You'd be surprised how strong it can be. :wink:

The primary purpose of the 'cage in my car is to stiffen the chassis. Big difference in handling.

Have not updated this in a while...

Some pics over at SMT yesterday while having new Exhaust fitted. Also have a Tsurikawa hanging off the back :p

Very cool. How much did those headers cost? I've been thinking about getting a local exhaust shop to make me a custom set, but I've got no idea how much it would run me.

U got a sound clip of that exhaust ? Are your first pics in Ayala Alabang Subdivision ?

Thanks!

The I got the headers a few years ago for less, but the same 4-1 Competition headers (Slalom spec for my car with really long runners) from SMT now will cost you 5000 Pesos. Thermal Wrap cost me 4500 Pesos. That's around US$ 211 all in.

Yes they are!!! Yellow Iode 45 pencil beams in Front and a white Iode 40 spot in the Rear as a Rally car-style reversing light! :mrgreen:

Also have a little Cibie Maregnum rear fog lower left of the bumper.
