MISOSLO's 02 OZ Rally Build
Updates:
* Purchased late model Evo 8/Evo 9 guage cluster with Traction Control menu (lol)
* Trying to pick up an Eclipse Nav headunit cheap
* Evo 9 Front Badge came in yesterday. Will try to install it this evening
Yeah, after I installed the wing, I thought it looked stupid cause it made the wheels look even smaller, so I painted the wheels to blend them in.

Loving the car man. My favorite color for the lancer. But I was wondering where you got that megan exhaust? I found a Megan muffler on ebay that I was thinking about buying, but wanted to make sure it would fit before buying it.
It was just a Megan N1 muffler I bought years ago for another car, but never got around to using it. I turned it into an axle-back exhaust that I had Meineke weld on for me for about $100.
Updates:
Just installed an Evo 8/9 Guage Cluster in 5 minutes. Lower the steering wheel, 2 screws on the top of the black plastic surround, pull the left plastic mirror control piece, 3 screws on the guage cluster, 2 pull tabs for the cables, wiggle it downwards, and it's out. The odometer read is whatever the Evo guage cluster was at last (not your Lancer reading), so your car might turn into a time machine if you're lucky
Will attempt to install my Fujita F5 Cold Air Intake, but it's 103* outside, so I'm going to have to take lots of breaks.
*Edit*
Finished installing the intake for the most part. Couldn't get one of the clamps on, so hopefully it won't come undone. Will use another clamp from my parts bin to fix this. I did notice an increase in power, but did not notice a difference in sound like you get on an S2000 intake. When installing a cold air intake, turn your wheel all the way to the left before you start on the project. I pulled the battery out before learning you needed to do this. Not too much fun. Removing the bolts from the stock MAF was a pain cause the plastic holding thing kept breaking. The best way to get the screws out it to hack it up with a screwdriver and then use a wrench to hold it in place. Using pliers is really difficult.

This is a sick OZ Rally. Props bro! I bought the recaro seats fot my OZ (front and rear). The front fit right in. However the back bottom seat is just chilling there. I read the how to and ordered the brackets. Do you have the back Recaros on? and if so, how did you install the bottom part. (seems like im not the only one).
Thanks man. I haven't put the rear seats in, but from what I understand, you need to buy longer hooks so they will sit in place. It looked like you had to do a bit of foam cutting to get to the hooks, so my plan is to take the seats to an upholstery shop and have swap the middle blue inserts onto my OZ Rally rear seats.
It's a cheapo eBay strut bar. I got it more for looks and cause I was bored and was on a buying spree. Basically I was getting/installing new parts every 2 days for over a month.
