HI all
I just purchused my first new car...an 04 lancer es....just the basic car...but i love it so far...is there anything I should know about the car.....(recalls, problems, or things of the like) and what are some good after market things I can do to it......Im thinking body kit or taillights......maybe something else....help a newbie out

thanks in advance

Buy an intake, then get a custom catback exhaust. Then buy header. After all that, then buy all your cosmetic stuff, ie: body kit, taillights.

 

^ yea. go for performance before looks. its not so fast to look fast

 

haha! i love it! "its not fast to look fast."

BRILLIANT!

i'd have to agree 100% go with an intake, exhaust, then headers (they is loud) if you like. bulb upgrades are fun, stereo...

man, it is your car, so have fun with it. if you have more specific questions, like brands and such to buy, help with install, just search first, or PM/IM me.

and welcome aboard!

 

yeha 9 outta 10 people will probably see speed before show.

obviously its up to you. i dont see a problem with going for show, HOWEVER, an intake will give you much better gas mileage, i went from 220 a tank, to 260-270 a tank when the light came on. which is awesome, my intake is just an maf adapter plate and a autozone filter, nothing special, $25 on eBay and ive probably saved $60 in gas so its good to me

 

uhh dont waste your time, if you got the money go strait to rims wit ha turbo kit from RRM or ifnd a used one on this webpage.

Headers, intake and exhaust wont give you anything ocmpared to the turbo

 

Welcome to the best show on earth!!!

 

Welcome.. nice car, I got the same. No problems except the crappy tires that came with it suck in the rain. Im looking for some cheap rims and tires as we speak.
