2011 RR Sportback RA
I took some pics today and thought it would be a good time to start a progress thread of sorts. I have tons of plans for this car so it's just a matter of the time and money to get there haha (this probably doesn't sound familiar to anyone else). I bought it with 15k miles on it August 30th. I absolutely love this thing! It's an amazing car and I want to continue to push the boundaries of performance, and looks with this car. I am a little bit more of a form over function guy so I like practical mods, but who doesn't like a good fun mod every now and then?
Mods List:
Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust
Depo Racing 4" Intercooler
Depo Racing UICP/LICP
Mishimoto Radiator
OEM Roof Rack
Black Plastidipped Trunk Guard/Hood Scoop/Mitsu Emblem w/red paint
Blacked out Trunk emblem (Not a fan)
Blacked out Nose Ring (Original owner did a terrible job, needs re-done)
Red w/White Logo Rally Armor Mud Flaps
Rota P45F 18x8 PC'd Rocket White, Mitsubishi and Ralliart Logo's added
Red Black Works Extended Lugs
Future Mods List:
Red Painted Brake Calipers
Ralliart Shift Knob (would've taken the one from the GTS but thought the RA's had a screw holding them in place)
Ralliart Lower Hatch Spoiler
Something with the tail lights and side markers (I don't like anything close to euro styling, I'll probably paint the markers amber and red-out the tail light turn signals)
Dual Exhaust Tips
Ultimate-Racing Test Pipe
Ultimate-Racing Down Pipe
Tune (GST Basemap or something else, possibly Cobb AP)
OEM Navi
Custom Light Bar w/four lights
OEM Recaro Racing Seats (Possible reupholstered Red)
Some way of getting air to the huge intercooler
OEM Evo X Turbo
OEM Evo X BOV
Braid or Enkei Rally Wheels for winter
I hope to achieve all of my goals with this car. I am very driven to do so. I have been dreaming about a car like this since I was a kid racing the Evo VI WRC car in Gran Turismo 2. Then when I saw a new Ralliart Sportback sitting on a lot in 2010 I knew it was the car I would buy. So here I am today. I have been a Mitsu fan for quite some time now and don't plan ever change that.
Here is a pic at the dealer with the old GTS in the background:
Here is how it sits today:
I'll hopefully be updating as soon as I can. Let me know what you guys think!

If you want to cut down on wind noise get the 44inch fairing.

Thanks, man I really appreciate that. I bought them from a local shop, they were having a sale due to overstock on them so I got the set for $55. They're the Black Works brand lugs. I like them a lot, the color is vibrant where as some red anodized things look more pink. My wife and I like to bike so we toss the bikes on the top.
