So a little update. Megan short shifter has been ordered should be here wed. And am going with a push start system removing the key cylinder completely so its gnna be a switch for acc a switch for acc2 and push start for ign. Before i hear any complaints about now its easier to steal your car i am currently looking into the best alarm systems with ignition kill,motion sensors, glass sensors ,and i will also throw in a fuel pump kill to add some extra protection and switches will b hidden very well. I ordered an awesome push start button that ive never seen i was luck to find it. Its coming from japan so should b here in about 2 weeks.by then i should have an alarm in aswell. Only other new update is put some leds in the cluster major major diff.

What i did was order this style of led its a t10 led bulb in white. Im actually gnna order some red to see if it looks better. But what i did was take the bulbs out the cluster and i took the plastic casing off the led (the white part) and then i sodered them directly on the cluster. Its hard to find leds that fit our clusters that are cheap doing it this way is the cheapest most effective way.i payed 1dollar for 10 if them and i had to wait 2weeks to get them from china bt it was worth it. You only need 3.

Little update shifter has been installed for a week and or so and i absolutely love it best 50 bucks i spent in my life. Nice firm shifts and alot shorter distance aswell i give the megan shifter 2thumbs up. Have some bad news also yesterday i took the white lancer to a family reunion and driving home on the highway she just died on me. Could not figure out what happened. Pulled to the side of the road and tried to crank but nothing. Left it there for a few hours came back with tools and went to start she turned on like nothing. Well today i tested everything out and turns out the fuel pump kept failing turned on sometimes during my test. Replaced it and all better now
