Hey all, I'm Pas and I always had a thing for Lancers since the OZ Rally...
Guess it's from all the Fast and Furious Movies.

I'm graduating from high school in May and as a graduation present from my godparents, I requested a new car: obviously I want a Lancer (There is no way they are getting me an EVO, so i'll wait until i can save up for one in a few years). Thing is, I'm not so sure what to do. I would like to get a used Lancer ES or OZ so I can do some body and engine work on it. I plan on selling my 01' Altima in the summer to a friend for $4000 to buy a body kit and do some engine work.

So until then, I guess I'll just have to admire Lancers anyways.
Thanks for listening in and I would like for you to throw in some suggestions on additions to the Lancer b/c I'm very new at this so I don't feel like wasting time and money.

I would like to do the following:
-New body paint job-thinking blue or black
-Evo Spoiler (I'm curious to see if I could actually pull off the EVO look, but just for my own amusement, not to brag saying that it can actually outrace anything)
-Rims? Any brand recommended?
-Engine Work under $3000?
-Suggestions on a Body kit? Any brand recommended?
