Hello to the members who just opened this thread.
It's weird of me to say that this thread might not interest many but for the selected few, it will be very informative.
Internet is filled with conversion videos of various cars/bikes of different variants. Mine is not unique too. But I would still like to share my car's story.
The story will Progress on daily basis.
So all this started in the year 2018.
I was offered a car by someone I know and respect a lot. Back then I wasn't looking for a car so I decided to let it pass. Later, after 2 weeks I get a call saying "the car is still available. Its a very well kept cedia and you must have a look at it once."
I don't know what came into my mind and decided to have a look at that car.
So I went with my brother and we saw the car for the very first time.
This was the time when I had no idea about the different variants of Cedia or anything in general as well as particular.
The car belonged to a renowned businessman and it was kept well.
I took a test drive of the car and enjoyed it, to be honest. That was the first time I drove a Cedia.
Now the question comes 'If I should buy it or not'. It was offered to me at a very low price compared to the market but 'Do I need another car was the real question.'
It was a Mitsubishi and we know the spare parts scenario of these cars. But still I decided to call up a friend who has a Cedia Sports and a few other models of lancers, already. I shared pictures of the car with him too.
He instantly liked the car and offered me if I am not buying it, he is ready to buy it. That triggered me to close the deal. But there was still one confusion. My friend said the car is a Type 2 (facelift) version but it looks like a mixture of Sports and Spirit variants (Just like ZXI & VXI in suzuki cars).
It had a few bits and accessories that come with sports variants but the car was missing Spoiler, Front and rear bodykit, etc.
Despite the confusion I ended up finalizing the deal.The Owner of the car was a true gentleman and a car enthusiast.
Later that evening I decided to google some details regarding Cedia and its variants. That's when I came across a thread on Teambhp regarding the launch of a Variant by Mitsubishi called SPORTS BASIC in the year 2010.
