Lancer overhaul - Project Phoenix

BUSA · 3rd August 2007, 23:46

Your car just looks awaesome, The interiors look so sooooooo good, i am just drooling, drooling & some more of drooling. Well i was very sleepy today so went to sleep and then i just remembered your thread and you said you would post the cars pics by evening, immediately i opened my favourites folder and looked at this thread.

Can you share the cost of the whole project

EDIT - Please can you take a side profile pic covering the car from bumper to bumper.

Not sure what you mean. Could you post pics of the "sfx style" lamps. I thought they looked similar to the ones I have on. If you're referring to the aftermarket clusters that are available, I am not keen on those at this moment.

Thanks man! Am honoured that you saved this thread as a favourite!

Costs - will put'em up once I get the outstanding stuff taken care of.

Side profile - definitely. Missed out on that today.

Simply breathtaking, razor! I hadn't ventured into this thread till today, and I read the entire thread in one go.And I was lucky you posted the finished pics to day too!

This is one drool-worthy car! I love what you've done to the entire car. And I liked those smoked indicators

Enjoy her, man! You deserve it. And about the long wait, like they say, the juice is definitely worth the squeeze!

Awesome! The front package is just perfect. (dont do anything else to it)

But then the Rear, as I told you (too much of red plastic), can you do a small photoshop and smoke the red number plate flanks. I am sure the results will be meaner.

BTW whats Shuvc doing in front of your car?

Wimwian · 4th August 2007, 00:21

Congrats Razor, the Phoenix flies finally - and my word, the pictures just blew the wind out of my lungs!! Been watching them over and over again for almost 30 mins now - can't wait to see her in person tomorrow.

When I saw her the other day the interiors were missing and I had a sort of a picture in my mind of what the final product would look like. But the end result exceeded all my expectations... awesome!!

Trying to take some snaps with my cell.

The engine note at idle upto 2K is a deep throated yumm !! Very very purposeful, kind of like a teaser. 3000 kms seems soooo far away.

Phoenix looks awesome in the flesh. Makes me want to buy a Lancer

razor4077 · 4th August 2007, 00:39

Thanks all, for the appreciation. Makes it all worth it

Btw, I guess this is as good a time as any to give credit to Glix and AV Designs for carrying out all the body work, painting, external mods, interiors, ICE and basically putting the car back together again. I am thoroughly impressed by their work and would recommended them highly.

The engine overhauling+modding and FFE were done by Viper Performance, Mumbai. Will have to run in the engine before I can truly "feel" the work put in by Jignesh and his team. Lookin forward to that!

Jaggu · 4th August 2007, 00:48

ahhh the classic lancer, great job razor. love it !!

Had a yellow sfx poster in my room, from an auto mag, from college days. Till my folks decided to clean up the wall for painting. This one would have looked much better, i say

xinome · 4th August 2007, 00:48

I had PS'ed that option actually, but didn't like the way it was looking. The smoked lights tend to blend into the body colour, making it seem like the number plate flanking lights are missing. Never liked the way that looked... very bare.

@Jaggu: thanks!

@xinome: thanks, and I will mention the prices sometime in the near future.

Same here, just looking at the images again and again, waiting for the side profile, that will show the beauty of the M6 Replica's. Will have to go to Kolkatta to see this beauty..... drool

Razor - If you are selling it then be rest assured you give me the offer first
