Side profile looks the same as out GT just different front lights, backlights and bumpers... From the front looks like our current Waja



Front lights...errgh. Back light still ok... looks like LED type



They get 7 airbags



Interior looks classier with the 2 colour scheme + wood. They even get Sat Nav...

Hmm...if they had launched this version of the Lancer, I doubt I would have booked it

the interior is quite good, but the exterior compare to our gt is that our gt is better... hehehe, but this type of car concept more towards luxury, not suitable for young blood....

Would buy if they put the interior + all air bags + GPS head unit into our GT. I just don't like the uncle outlook.
Er me ? ...an uncle also....

Agree. Pakcik look...oopppsss.....uncle look...hahahaha...

taiwan always get special design, for all cars, y ah??? this is more family... but for family, then it's a good design lor... nice in some way also. but my vote still NO, haha

Taiwan Lancer Fortis is a local CKD Taiwan.

If we get this version, I will go for other cars

erm...not sporty enough if compare with our GT =P

I would buy the Camry instead..waiting for the 2.4, Dual VVT-i, CvT spec. that hopefully will come in 2008

why does other countries get more airbags than for malaysia? is it because our accident rate isn't high enough or just isn't gruesome enough?

Just to keep the cost down i guess. Civic has more airbags than GT, and the price is higher.

Becoz our life is less worthy .

in fact, msia always too lenient with the safety regulation on road. thus all manufacturers will take out additional safety features from our car so that they can save on cost, liek ESP, ABD etc. in Singapore Lancer EX GT gets knee airbag as well. but our one, only 2 airbags...

all thing comes with a price... to be competetive, we had to sacrifice soemthing to gain something, we loses couple air bag then cruise control then HID then power folding side mirror...for me at this price, it worth it, while air bags save life other r just nice to have, n since we're in bolehland n if the lancer does come with more airbags n priced same at civic, most of us won't be here, right, so i 'd say, the strategy does work out good, only tat we're facing stock problem. which is indeed an issue, first respond is too good, factory is not in full scale n supply globally hence we suffer stock problem, n new year thing will be smooth,
though we'd problem of stock, but i'm relieve we dun face serious quality problem... so to all i hope u guys will be patience n we can row this boat together

I like the rear lights but don't like the front at all...

who even dare suggest a vote like that..*yuccks

sorry prodmar, just teasing the members here only

i want to be polite but the look quite "auntie" la

well as i said, some might like it some might not, this is like a family car look, so probably taiwan is special market, as we see in tv, the drama, alot aunty also, so manybe taiwan alot aunty, haha

Drop by one the Mitsu dealer ship.
The Mitsu here is called Lancer Fortis 2.0.

Cream and wood interior (VIP set up).

ur in taiwan is it now? lol... was wondering when did Malaysia got Lancer Fortis 2.0 anyway, there's already a topic on this so topic has been merged.

Ooops....sorry. Missed the post.

Will be here from 16 ~ 24th.Nov. Meeting aftermarket parts suppliers.
Have been looking around for performance parts for the Lancer GT but none so far.

Just met a tuner with his 2JZ Supra engine loaded IS200 (Altezza). Dynoed at 650bhp.
Will keep posted if I come across any.

Thanks bro,

if u all may noticed, the cup holder in the middle of front seats comes iwth a semi hydraulic cover. why ours one left opened with no cover at all?? sigh....

2 words: cut cost!

bro T-RS... is the 2 din /nat sav dash kit available there or not??

found in ebay and it costs USD3xx

Ryan,

Are U talking about the blank double din? If yes, I will chk for it as Mitsu dealer is across road from my apartment.

Btw I found race brake caliper + floating rotor (332mm) special made for the Lancer GT.
If LAncer Club members have no's, we can order direct from factory. Price about RM4,200.00 (cost exclude ship n tax in boleh land). It is a 4 pot aluminium 2pc caliper with 2 pc rotor.

Performance brake pads also available. Temp range 680 celsius.


T-RS

ya RyanS is talking about the blank double din and im sure lot of other members looking for it too!

i reposted ur post about the disc brake here under the Handling and Grip section:
http://forum.lancerzone.com/index.php?showtopic=524

since its more relevant there and easier for members to check it out...

I will confirm the double din availability here, price and stock on Tuesday.

Currently surfing the net at my friends tuning garage. We just finish a group cook out here (the chief mechanic was the chef).
No engine oil , bolts and nuts was used for the cooking

T-RS

lol...sounds like ur having fun bro! was just about to reply asking what engine oil u using to cook

Hahaha.... Yup I am. Btw we used alot of beer in the cooking. Drunken chicken, prawn, crab and veggy.
The Taiwanese are party crazy people and nice.
Imagine me cannot talk Taiwan Hokkien and same they dont speak English. I comunicate with them in Japanese .

For yr info Proton is sold here ie Gen2, Waja and Wira mini truck.


T-RS

wow... taiwanese actually buy those ploton cars when they have many choices?

Thats what I dont understand ...blurr. Many yellow colored Ploton here
Majority Plotong engine have been changed to 4G91, 2, 3 (mostly turboed).

Taiwan is left hand drive hence no JDM. They buy re-cond USDM higher spec cars like the one I am driving USDM Mazda Millenia-S V6 supercharge (200bhp).
