And some MPG pics just for fun, stock tune:

 

everything looks good except that ralliart antenna. i think you should get a 2in perrin.

 

very nice

 

pretty good gas mileage ya got there

 

beautiful

 

looks good! is that ralliart exhaust a full exhaust and where can i find more info on it? when i do a search, i get the oem exhaust for the lancer ralliart model.

 

Sweet ride. Ralliart Flaps look real clean!

 

Here you go!

love how you set up the audio equipment in the trunk. Might have to steal that idea lol

 

Thanks, I did consider Perrin but in the end JDM bling won

Thanks!

Takes effort but with careful (boring) driving it is possible. I'd like to think that some of it is from the drop-in and reduced rotational mass.

TY!

It is an axle-back, not full exhaust. Definitely pricey for what it is but I'm happy with the stock power and wasn't interested in changing out the full exhaust. noenoe_pro has provided the right link to it.

Thanks, I've seen a few folks with them, but not as common the Rally Armor variety.

Don't worry, no copyrights here
I couldn't take a pic of the DSP as it lives under the front passenger seat.

 

i seen your ride on the 110 fwy going towards LA last saturday. Car looks fresh. Was wondering about them mud flaps, did Ralliart make them or they some knock off version?

 

Loving it all except for the head/tail light wrap. Front headlights look off when they're darkened like that. Maybe blackout the chrome like some guys here have been doing? As for the tails, you definitely should be rocking the Ralliart lights, especially since you got so much other Ralliart bling.

As for antenna, I didn't like the way it didn't sit flush like it does on the 8's and 9's so I ended up selling that one myself.

Anyways, clean stuff!

 

not a fan of the mud flaps, but the rest of the car looks great.

how do you like the girodisc rotors? are you running stock pads still? did you noticed any increased acceleration from the loss of rotating mass?

 

Haha small city! The flaps are not authentic RALLIART, hence citing them as 'RALLIART style'. Unfortunately the authentic ones come in a very odd hue of red/orange that totally would not work with RR. If I had a WW X, I might have gone for them.



Thanks for the comments. Interestingly I never intended to vinyl them, my original intent was to clear cover them to protect against fading and any odd chips. This was while I was getting the whole front end clear bra'd. The installer gave an option of going with a slight tint and I went with it, no regrets and easy to take off!


Love the Giro's! Yes running stock pads as I only had a few thousand on them when I swapped out the rotors. If I remember correctly, all together I shaved close to 40 pounds of rotational mass off the drive train compared to a stock MR. Yes, noticeable to the butt dyno, even on stock tune.
