Hey Dann,

Have you seen these little puppies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJX9nuNpTjo
Ive just bought one similar to clean up some largish scale stands we make for Wedderburn.
It is the most amazing thing I have ever used. We used to send them out to get polished but this does the whole thing in about 5 mins each.
It would make some of your stuff look a million bucks.(not that it doesn't look great already… you know what I mean)

Richard.

I got mine from BOC who supply our liquid nitrogen and O2 for our laser cuter so were a pretty good customer for $1550.
Welders supply's can sell you a that Tig Champ Brush for about 3k but that was a bit expensive for me.

Hopefully under 80 seconds, but not with this engine.

Putting in 50+ PSI so everyone else doesnt have to.

Can't tell if Aus fwd GSR or Jap Cyborg 4wd

Postby **NitroDann** » Wed May 21, 2014 12:41 pm

Its actually a 1990 model Lancer hatch, in America called a Colt, and later year models called a Mirage in Aus.

So essentially, lets just say its a Mirage, it has an Evo floorpan welded into it, 3x mechanical LSD's, Evo engine, Custom tubular manifold, 3" exhaust, external gate, ID1000s on E85, 288* cams, portwork, 6 piston Brembos on the front and 4 piston on the rear, with a carbon dash and a DataPack race display with some mechanical guages for important stuff as backup.

Im sure I have missed heaps it has lexan windows and custom this that the other, fuel system, throttle body etc etc

Yeah I know it's a Lancer.
Just in Aus we got the "sporty" gsr model which had alloys.
In Japan (and all across NZ) they got the "Cyborg" model which came with the 1.6L turbo (4G61???) and 4wd drive line.

none of this means much if it's got all those goodies now though.

That was for everybody playing at home

But yeah it started life as a pov pack 2wd and was given to Dion, my right hand man at the shop.
