I am not a paid member so i cannot post in the members cars section.

This is the car when it belonged to the previous owner, my green Mitsubishi Lancer is at the back.

This is the car one week after i bought it. I waxed it and put tinted windows.

These are a few pics of the car the morning before we started work on the swap

Day 1 - Car was raised on bricks to facilitate work

Day 2 - Old engine out

My new GT ECU

My old Gi ECU

Day 3 - Engine bay touched up

Day 4 - GT engine installed and started at first kick!!!

Day 5 - Other bits fitted

Day 6 - Dash fitted

Day 7 - Custom exhaust system fitted and some touch up work started on the body

Day 8 - First coat of paint

Day 9 - A/C, Head lights, time, all working now and more work done under the dash. There was some vibration from exhaust which is now fixed.
Will be spraying the roof tomorrow. (Touch up)

Morpheus,

try it here: http://www.seychelles.net/luc/TGTT

this is where i am linking to.

Tell me, someone gave me this shop in Mauritius: AutoStar, Route Royal,Beau Basin

Are they any good for performance parts for my GT?

I am half Mauritian and go to Mauritius regularly so would like to buy some stuff there. Are the prices affordable and are the parts authentic or fake?

I need stuff like automatic turbo timer, electronic boost controller, dump valve, hks actuator, intercooler, etc.

Please advise,

Perreau

 

[azerty]

yes perreau, they have all that in this shop. I bought my rims at autostar.
you can also try "fast cars" and "protuning".
for guenuine parts, there is an offical OZ, Blitz dealer : reuben racing at trianon. he has a full glanza blitz exhaust line for sale at the moment (from mani to back box). the HKS, ADVAN official dealer is at floreal.

 

[perreau]

Azerty, thanks a lot for the info.

What is the ball park figure for 16" rims with tyres 205/16/40??

are you guys on msn or google talk?

 

[perreau]

Azerty, are you saying that AutoStar does not have genuine parts??

 

[Glanza-V]

Welcome to TGTT.com

Enjoy

 

[azerty]

they have genuine parts too. it is a mix of both

they have two beautiful garett ballbearing turbo atm. both a bit big for your engine thought. they have a uge choice of china wheel. some are quite good value for money if you check well
I heard that "fast cars" has received Rota rims finaly (after I went in all shops for 6 months saying I couldn't understand why no shops imports that brand over here)

price for 16" chineese wheel would be around 20/25 k (mauritian roupies)
OZ at reuben racing are around 1000 Euro a set (including mauritian taxes that you should be able to remove at aiport if you ask for dutyfree form)

 

[perreau]

Thanks for that frer
