Yea I definitely see what you mean by that. My RA feels razor sharp, solid as a brick, and mean as a rattle snake compared to the OZ... There's almost no comparison. If there can be such a big difference between the ES/OZ compared to the RA it has me wondering now how big of a difference it is to drive an Evo.....


Man i'd like to drive one of those now. Just once to see the difference... I wish I knew someone with an evo... haha

I take that back I wanna be the first one around here with an Evo so I wish I had an evo! LMMFAO!

 

Couldn't wait any longer! Lol

 

I imagine it's exactly like driving a RA, but quite a bit faster, way more traction, and better handling...i've been in fast AWD 4g63T eclipses, so i just picture that, but sitting in a lancer while it's happening...lol

nice shoes by the way

 

Nice rims! Who makes these? What model are these also?

 

Motegi MR 125

 

lol guessing this has already been said! sorry Crans

 

it's in his signature, but i know these wheels very well, i've been fighting the urge to buy them for some time now...

 

Thanks guys! And yea crans called it, they are in my sig and they are the MR-125's I have to say they are quite awesome. I was holding off on installing them cause I was wanting to run my 15mm spacers with them. But I figured, what the hell, I'll just take the spacers off and see how they look. And they look pretty awesome I think! And I have no rubbing anymore as compared to my stock wheels with 8mm or 15mm spacers. lol

And rebcbarb im not really sure how much its weight is right now. Ive heard there is a place I can get it weighed the next town over but I haven't gotten over there to check it out yet. Its probably pretty close to stock still I would guess.

Got a few things in the works as well. Just got my mud flaps put on. Getting my Evo wing and Eyelids painted this week. Gunna pick up some plastidip and a lot of painters tape and newspaper. Probably debadge my trunk, got some RALLI////ART decals for the sides. I still need to get that H-Brace in but I need a better place to work on it with some decent air tools. Got a list of things in the garage and maintenance things to take care of. Then it'll be time for the Hackish reflash, and then starting to collect pieces for turbo!

 

nice! im still against the wall on whether or not i want to get mudflaps... if i did im not even sure what color i'd want to go with

from the looks of it though you may not even need spacers? i cant tell from your pics but it seems like it's almost flush?

lmk how the KDW-2s work out. those were probably going to be my next set of tires once i run through the s-drives. only thing that's holding me back is the road noise that people say that they come with as well as the amount of nails i'll pick up with them haha

 

I like the mudflaps I got. They are black with a red \\\\//// pattern reflectors on the bottom of them. They are just some generic brand that my GF's mom bought me a long time ago. But she only got me two... So I had to order two more and put them on last night. I think they look pretty cool.

And I probably dont really need any spacers. They do sit about like my stocks did with the spacers except I have no rubbing... hahaha I might try my 8mm and 10mm again just to see what it'd do but I dont really need to unless im gunna try lookin "HELLA FLUSH" at a car show or something lol

And so far the KDW-2's have been amazing. They have phenomenal grip! They feel great in the corners! And the road noise isnt bad at all. I didnt really even notice it till yesterday evening, and once this morning. But its actually a soothing noise, I sleep with a fan on so that light quiet droning sound is actually kinda nice when your just relaxing... haha but If your radio is even on low you wont notice it.

With that said. here are some pics. of the new kicks and the battery relocate i did. The mudflaps aren't in the pics cause I just put them on last night though...

Engine bay. sub battery and cables.


Taylor battery box in the trunk. Dont mind my dirty ol Nike's or glove box! lol


Photoshoot.

 

snap some pics of said mudflaps! how'd you mount them on anyway? did you have to drill new holes or what?

 

those wheels are perfect how they are...if you space them, you will need to roll.

 

Thats originally what I was going to do. But I really wanted to go ahead and get them on so I went on and just took my spacers off and installed them. I do like how they are as is. I'll hold off on the fender rolling for now. Im enjoying not rubbing too much! haha

Lanzer stickied my Cusco brace thread. I feel like Ive unlocked some sort of achievement now or something. LMAO!!!

Oh and crans I hope you dont mind my new sig. I loved that comment for some reason! haha

 

i noticed that lol...it's all good

 

congrats on the sticky. lol when i got the sticky notif. i was like.... i feel like i accomplished something finally here on the forum

depending on how much it'll run me im probably going to go and pick up some rallyarmor flaps most likely black w/ red logo
