Uk Lancer Sport

Hey Guys,

Here are some pics of my 2007 Lancer Sport. When it was stock



Here's how it looked the day I brought it home.



Bodywork was clean and smooth no dings and the engine ran very smooth.



For a 2007 it only had 48*** miles on the clock.

And here are some pics of it now.
Apologies about the dark photos my phones flash isn't very bright :P
Also the cars very dirty and the weather hasn't been the kindest so haven't had a chance to wash it yet.









Current Mods:

Double DIN dash conversion
Pioneer DIN Stereo
Ralliart Matts
Ralliart Front Grille
BC Racing (BR Series) Coilovers

Future Mods:
Evo 8/9 Boot/Trunk Spoiler
Vortex Generator Roof Spoiler
Rota Rims (Maybe Circuit 10's)
Custom Exhaust System

Thank you, but my car is anything but clean XP The whether has been preventing me from giving it a proper clean. The coilovers are holding up wonderfully, low and tight Best mod yet.

You must see a lot of this brand then XP

Naw dude, I'm sure you keep her clean as much as possible

I'm looking into coilovers but not sure yet. Thinking about going with a set of lowering springs and front evo shocks. Seeing too many stories about coilovers being too much for a street car. However, if I do get the coils I'm between BC Racing & Fortune Auto.

Nope, it's true :P Was surprised myself when I first bought the car, thought it was a mod by the previous owner but it turned out to be standard

Well I try at least, unfortunately because it rains a lot here in Scotland washing the car doesn't happen very often
If your going to get coils I'd defiantly recommend the BC coils, as if you feel they are too tight or low they can always be adjusted, however since they are the first I've ever had I might be a tad biased

Lol yeah it's what many recommend but a lot of people especially states side have good things to say about FA. I think I'm going to go lowering springs and struts route. At least the front evo struts should do well.

Update

Okay so I thought it's about time I finally get round to posting wee update as to what is happening with the Lancer. The new Rota's are on, well have been on since early January mainly due to my impatience.

Here are some pics
The pics are from the day my brother and I fitted them, so the car was still quite dirty from all the salt on the roads here.







Unfortunately during some heavy snowfall I ended up curbing my rear drivers-side rim at a drive-thru. Its not bad thankfully, just taken the paint off the surface. Still kicking myself though from the fact I could't tell where the curb was.

However moving on to more positive thoughts.
I have finally managed to give the Lancer a much needed wash. It was literally brown :P. Also I recently got my hands on some smoked EVO 8/9 indicators from Ebay. I got to say these really improve the look of the side IMO.
