My Lancer goes on an ICEy trip!

speedzak · 25th April 2009, 14:24

I have traveled almost 10,000 Kilometers for this beauty.
I have spent almost a month or more of sleepless nights.
I have gone thru lots of pains to get this car to what it is.
I have fought with my wife on numerous occasion due to this car.

After all, this was my STAR and I couldn't live without her (umm.. umm.. not wife)!!!

Here, She lies!

Now, She' finally back!
And first thing to do on this car now is to take her on an ICEy trip!

Here, I am going to post everything which will be done in this car in connection to ICE.
Fasten your seat belts, relax and get ready for the take off!

Note: This is just the first Thread opener post. I will try and update this whenever possible. Keep an eye here!

So you got the Mivec back??! Congrats. Looking forward to all the ICE stuff

JayD · 25th April 2009, 14:39

Okay! This is gonna be an interesting thread. The work has already started right? Heading over there in a while!

speedzak · 25th April 2009, 15:14

I am sitting in my Bangalore office.
The car was left at Emperor, Cochin.
Zuhemi, my faithful installer will be in charge of this install too.
We had decided on the equipment last month itself.
The install will take almost a week to complete. Yes, really slow like broadband in India.

I have requested him to make this install look good without bling (Possible????).
Car runs on an extra big battery and bigger alternator which will handle all the extra load, hopefully.
There will be some good damping.
I am not worried of some extra weight because the car is a bit faster in it's stock avataar. Maybe due to the K&N Apollo air filter. Otherwise, there is not much performance mods done. Engine is as it is. No turbo vurbo, forced inductions, injections, port polish.... Zilch!!!

My favorite brands like Pioneer, Xplod, Dhoom, Mega audio etc... will be fitted no matter what guys may think!

white_vdi · 25th April 2009, 15:23

all the best for the week ahead!!
waiting for further updates. and yes the teaser at the starting of the thread is nice.

Nice hint! Big subs and monster amps,heh?

frankmehta · 25th April 2009, 16:28

IIRC, you were going to do something with the alpine f1 series, or something on the lines of the hx-d2. kenwood x991????
come on zakkie, spill the beans.

abhinav.gupta88 · 25th April 2009, 17:31

Aha.
Will keep a close watch on this thread.
It is not due to the K&N.
Its the Mivec i think

What all is going in ZAK?

phamilyman · 25th April 2009, 18:08

lol. Ek sam, ek zakkie. Ongoing threads rule

hydrashok · 25th April 2009, 19:47

I visited her a just a while back

automatic · 25th April 2009, 20:33

Zak..
If you have a MIVEC in her.. should'nt the music from the engine be enough??

...
Anyway.. all the best with the ICE.. and some pix of how the install goes in stages would be good.. but then why am I telling you.. you know this already!

speedzak · 25th April 2009, 21:40

There was a big piece of discussion when we did the planning.
I am planning to either run the sub amp at 1 ohms or 4 ohms. In case of the former config, then I am sure looking upto a big hole in the pocket in the wiring department.

Anyway, it's going to be 0g power wiring. *running for cover*
Distribution block will be installed. Most probably, it will be from CONNECTION stable.
I have a Connection Audison 1.3 Farad capacitor with me which I had picked up a year ago. It has a cool looking digital display which will add some gizmo touch to the wiring department and add to the overall eye candy. LoL!!!

Wiring brands:
Power wiring will be sourced from Germany. AIV cables or some similar name. I checked the quality myself and made sure I am satisfied before I zeroed in on this brand.

RCA cables will be Connection Audison. We're searching the whole godowns and warehouses of Emperor to find a set of Sonus RCAs. Pray, pray, pray! If not, I'll settle with Scosche.

I haven't managed to catch Zuhemi on phone this evening. So, I dunno what all are today's update on the install.

karankapoor · 25th April 2009, 21:48

0 gauge,sonus from connection hmmmm.

common don't be a teaser tell us,what all going in can't wait to see such install.

abhibh · 25th April 2009, 22:04

Congrats Zak. Don't be such a tease atleast tell us what all have you finalized.

BTW power cables from germany ??? Don't we have good Indian cables here ? The real 0 gauge ones!!! Arey bhai recession ka time apne desh ka socho.

P.S. My avatar says thumbs up and good luck
