I used the factory brackets, instead of the mounty things... If i put the trim around it, id have to mount the head unit a good 5mm forward so i didnt bother. Its only really me who see its, and i drive mostly at night anyway

that wagon is sweet. Maybe some sweet rims to finish off the look? O and put an EVO spoiler on top of it jp. Rims and Progress Race Springs would be sweet. Lower tie bar and sway bar + perches would be sweet to.

Nice looking wagon sP33Dy!

Daammm...wish mine were 5spd too....lol

You should get the front strut bar and also the RRM Progress rear Swaybar & perches with the tiebar (or get some local RPW equivalents for those)...the wagon will handle a lot better at speed and in the corners with those mods...next the pulley and maybe the SRI or CAI.


Just curious...can you take a closer pic of that badge?

For those who questioned DBW ... Im 101% cerain that its Drive By Wire





During the drive this weekend, i went on bit of a cruise with some lancer people ...

As mentioned previously, ive only had it 3 weeks tmmw ........ rims and more stuff will come in 'time' . For the moment, im perfectly happy ! It's a big step up from my last car -- a 1.3L Toyota Echo with Teins / 15"s / Rice Muff / etc etc.



At present All im carting around day to day is a 10" sub

Milage... not sure........ but i drove 460kms on a tank with 75% freeway, the rest 'spirited driving' , and it took 41L to fill it again (the tank is 50L according to manual). Dunno what that is in US terms of 'milage' .
