Well las i found this GSR lancer in a farmers yard and got it for free.We think its the only 4g61t lancer in ireland and cant get parts here or the uk at all it has few extras too!!see pics
Basically when i got the car i hadent any keys so got a lock smith to make me one for €15, i could at least try to start it and see what happens but i wasnt hoping for much as its parked up for 8 years, put battery in and nothing on the dash so routed around and found the ecu was gone.
I went looking for parts then and america is the only place i can hget bits from so i bought a highline ECU which is better than the original and 450cc injectors to match it so there bigger injectors too!!
Went to start it and wouldnt turn over starter engaging but not spinning i tryed it off the crank and wouldent budje so i said ill pull the engine and stripped it down and found 3 valves broken and smashed the piston and the head!!!
I then went looking for a new head and pistons and found some on here which was cool so i got a fully recon head with new valve stem seals,valves re grounded head skimmed fully cleaned etc,
So i started to reassemble the head and then start on pistons etc. so heres how far i am to date!!!

The car itself in the farmers yard



Started stripping it



Few of the Extras,
White Dial gauges

Ecectronic damper suspention!!!

Door Writing

Seats


I decided to go with matt black with white 15" alloys dropped to the last with a jap can angled out the back. I was doing all this while i was waiting for the parts to arrive so just started spraying and stripping!!
Standard Bumper off

Filled in the trim line to smooth it out.

Then primed and sprayed in matt Black

Sprayed the bonnet black too

Few parts

few more parts

What i found in my block!!

I couldnt do more with the engine till i got parts so i sprayed a few parts up
Gearbox

Finally all the parts arrived so here are pics of the parts and the rebuild not fineshed yet as one of the piston rings is broke so i need a new one, all the shel bearings are good still white metal etc looks fairly ok to me.
New Head

New Pistons

Twin cams

Fitted cams with new hydralic tappits and rockers




I finished the head torqued it down etc so i started on the block and pistons was hoping it was all good in there!!
Bottom end


1 new piston in

Putting rings on new piston

Piston rings and conrod shell bearing and cap for each piston.


Just waiting on a new piston ring and i can complete the engine and get it back into the car and hopefully get it running!! let me know what you think!!

Awesome!

I'm jealous here! A GSR Lancer would be a neat car to own.

Your bearing look bad !

That is the cap side of the bearings, not the journal side of the bearing.

I am curious to see anothe side

haha the other side is fine still white metal not worn the car has 80,000 km on it no much really. just need new rings now!!
