"Darling im a nightmare dressed like a daydream". 4g63lover's DD 01 LS #tswizzle

[4g63lover]

I have always wanted an EVO. Most people who know me well, knows its been my dream car for a while. A few months ago, I decided that by the end of this year, I will have an EVO. Either a white EVO IX or a White EVO X. This meant one thing though, I had to get rid of a car payment. At the moment, we had our 2010 Mazda3 and my daily driver 2011 Lancer.

I was looking for older Lancers at first, and when I went to go look at a Lancer at a local dealership, I saw this beauty.

I took it out for a test drive and I didnt want to get out.

Well, we are a little upside down on the Lancer, mainly because I packed the miles on in a short period of time, and we had about a year left on the Mazda. So as much as I hated to get rid of the Mazda, BOOM gone she went, and I was down to one car payment a month and in another 8G.

The first day I took her home.

LS, 100k miles, sunroof, leather, premium sound, etc. Paint was clean and it was essentially rust free. Towers are clean as well as the quarters.

I threw my Lancers winter set up on her. Around this time I started calling her Taylor Swift. Haha. Hence why she has been dubbed "tswizzle"

The 205/60/16 General Altimax made Tswizzle look like a monster truck!

As far as my wife knew, it was going to be my daily driver and staying stock.

That didnt last long.

Got all the parts from 00galantguy. 5-speed swap parts, coilovers, transmission, etc.

I dont have a lot of pictures of progress but The coils are on, and she is 5speed swapped.

I dont have many plans for her at the moment because I use her as a daily driver. I need to do some housekeeping, some maintenance like tierod and tierod ends because the jam nut is a pain to adjust right now and toe arms for the rear. The car is pretty clean but the cam bolts for the rear toe adjust are really in there.

I figure I drive her til the 72 dies, at that point get another daily and throw a 3.8 in tswizzle.

As of right now, she looks like this. Excuse the shitty pictures, I took all of about 10 minutes to snap these.

[2002BlackDragon]

Looks great!

[juicejax]

Clean... how much they charge you... If that's ok to ask?

[4g63lover]

Thanks guys!

Juicejax, charge me for what?

[RedGalant2k1]

Can't wait to see her!

[Techn0Nut1996]

Did you lower it or was it already lowered when you bought it? Looks fantastic!

[4g63lover]

I put coilovers on it. Thank you!

[juicejax]

[gtx]

Looks like it was a good find! And got to love not having payments!

[4g63lover]

Some small additions today.

CHICAGO_ONE USDM "Zenki" Grille and a CD5 accord lip.

Also washed and waxed it for the first time. Im going to clay it next time I get the chance.

Quick pictures

That lip is sitting low as F$:#.....
Shes looking tough.. Good job.
That negative camber will eat some tires UP though.

[4g63lover]

Thanks man!! Yeah it needs a toe adjustment at the moment. I'm on an eyeball alignment right now and it doesn't seem too bad. I still gotta do the inner tie rods and tie rod ends then I can do a real alignment. The blue car has always had ATLEAST -3 camber and with the toe adjusted properly I never had any premature wear in the 10 years I've owned it.

[coconut]

-3 *? I will have to try that out.

Your not afraid of ripping that lip off sitting that low?

[RedGalant2k1]

IIRC -3* isn't very much past factory camber specs.

[4g63lover]

First snow of the year.

[yhkwok]

Man, I'm so jealous of the amount of snow you have!! Here in Idaho the snow is not constant yet, not enough to do any snow drift :(
Quick question, where did you get those window visors? are they double-side taped or clipped on? looks really good!!

[Black8GV6]

Tswift is looking real good

[4g63lover]

Thanks guys. Yhkwok, I'm already sick of the snow. lol I got my visors on eBay from a seller named DNA something. They are stuck on with double sided tape. I like that the rear ones go past the little quarter window. I'm absolutely loving daily driving it right now but I feel the motor is getting tired. I gotta do a timing belt and tensioner soon and I'll probably deadpan the motor.

Very nice daily. You guys are making me want to go out and get a Galant to replace my Lancer.
