having been a performance ford nut since passing my test 11 years ago Ive made my first non-ford car a Lancer Sportback. Im still not quite sure what the CJ stands for in this club, but looking over the forums it looks like im in the right place. My last car was a Focus ST320 which got stolen and written off so Ive banned myself from getting another after the money I have lost.
here are a couple pics.
and here is my new toy
2009 1.8 petrol sportback
no mods........yet
edited the lowering on this one

Hi Nick good to meet you
The CJ is the model prefix here in Australia
The current model run here is actually based on a CY chassis
It's 3.30am here at the moment so not many awake except us shiftworkers LOL
Enjoy your new ride
Regards,
Chris....

There are not 1.8s here. We start at 2.0L (4B11) and 2.4L (4B12)

The previous Lancers were CE, CH then CJ.

Welcome Nick from another Pom in Oz. Awesome looking ST. Not into fords but that looked good - guessing you were gutted when it got nicked.
This is a good forum for mod idea's so you'll have a pretty individual motor before long. Maybe worth going the other way to most n doing a sleeper with a few pony's under the hood but granny styling? Just a thought
