garbaldy Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Can honestly say i have NEVER seen one Wow i may look around for one nowWhat spec are they ?Engine, common problems and stuff ??if you can find one i expect you will have to pay a fair bit for one, when they came out they where alot more expensive than most other cars on the market so they didnt sell in great numbers, they also rust quite bad so many have been turned to been cans years ago.they are rwd 2.0 turbo engined and about 160hp the engine block was used right up to the evo 8s i think, the most common problems i would say is rust the cars ive had have never let me down.the best bit is the 80s style graphics on the front spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaTom Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Lancer is just magnificent. You will at some point have to list the full 160 in order that we can all check for Tagoras, Tredias and Charmants.The "0002 obrut" surely wasn't dealer fit was it? There's something about those Lancers that do it for me. There's also something Subaru 1800 GLF going on at the back. But that could just be me.Welcome to Autoshite.

Timewaster Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I remember seeing one about when I was a kid, I can confirm that obrut 0002 was standard fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaTom Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Good stuff. Reckon you'll rescue the white one? I haven't seen one of these on the roads in UK for years (even in non-turbo mode). When I was a kid, a neighbour had a brown basic version then traded it for the later model (whacky lights)There are, however, thousands of them still knocking around Indonesia. I had a taxi ride in one last time I was there. It had squarer rear lights though - probably a home-fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
