just picked up a whole lancer ES? interior for $250

[Alex.K]

What's included
- Front & rear seats (front with side air bags - which mine doesn't have)
- all 4 door trims
- silver dash trim (pretty scratched)
- HVAC control console
- Centre console
- Leather CVT gear knob + whole shifter thing
- Leather hand brake
- Steering wheel (no audio control, no airbag, but airbag module)
- Audio + chrome garnished vents(mine's not chrome) + 2 front speakers
- Rain sensor
- carpet bit ( i threw it out )

So yeah i'm pretty happy with the bargain

I'm going to replace my front seats, leather gear knob + shifter panel, leather hand brake and maybe vents if there's enough chrome for all 4 vents

When I have time I'm going to respray the silver trim to another colour, do the door trims to suede. Maybe spray the whole interior door handles.

=]

does any one know if i have to program my ECU for side airbags?
I'll call up the dealer tomorrow but i just wanted to know early

cheers

Sounds like the VR interior to me!

Can I buy the HVAC knobs? It's a whole module as you can probably see. PM me if you want to part with it

Sounds like that 'ES' was more a VR? There is no way you can option up a rain sensor into an ES. If the door handles are chrome and the shifter has a chrome surround I think its more likely the car you picked up was a VR. Not to mention the leather handbrakes and stuff.. so yea! BARGAIN!

Though I'm not sure on the side airbags... I'm not even sure if the ES has sensors for the airbags? Someone else like adrian should be able to confirm with u

[Alex.K]

Doesn't VR come with a leather steering wheel?
and chrome garnished door openers (whatever they are called lol)
but yeah it comes with rain sensor. I don't know how it should work cuz it basically has nothing and it looks like a puc? puk?

I only picked them up so I couldn't see them properly
so i'll let you know very soon about the HVAC knobs

[Alex.K]

oh yeah... airbag sensors.... i didn't think about them =S
thanks for the info milobob
i'll call up the dealer tomorrow

[SIR-VRX]

VR has over ES inside:

Leather Wheel with audio buttons
Auto wipers
Auto lights
Chrome door handles and air vent knobs (later ES models got the chrome one the air vents)
Chrome around gear selector
Leather knob
Leather handbrake
lidded centre console
side airbags
Climate Control
map lights

could be more

[Alex.K]

Thanks for the info
I'll let you know tomorrow what the HVAC is (normal or climate control)
cheers

[SIR-VRX]

I can only buy it if it's the climate control (you can tell by the colour being silver or chrome not black and there is AUTO as options on 2 of the knobs)

Cheers mate!

[Alex.K]

yeah that's what i thought. from what i remember
it was just a normal one =S
i'll go check it out now

[Alex.K]

unfortunately it's just a normal one =S
looks like the car was ES after all
I'm a bit sus about the rain sensor thing which I don't need at all

oh well

sorry adrian
no luck for either of us

[LZY_EYE]

Could always be a cocktail... not all out of one car too....

[SIR-VRX]

Nawwww dammit!!!

I thought it might've been a bitsa

[Alex.K]

It's meant to be from one car...
which doesn't make any sense...
oh well...
it'd been great if it was from a VR
I could use some chrome stuff and 6 disc audio =(
I'll check if the audio is a single disc or not
I doubt that it'd be a 6 disc stacker...

[milobob]

Frankenstein...

[Alex.K]

hahaha maybe the guy made a FrankenLancer interior from ES and VR like Frankenstein lol
