Turbo!

I've been on this forum for, damn, since before I got my Lancer in may of 03. My girlfriend just bought me a Turbo... No you can't have her. She is mine.

I'd be happy with just her.

It's a used RRM stage 1 intercooled kit. I'll have pictures but it's my birthday and I'm going out to celebrate.

Seriously though, thanks all of you guys who have such a passion for these cars and know what we can really do with them. I've waited a long time for this and I am so happy.

wow man YOU are lucky! My gf just got me a camcorder with a harddrive and it is sick! i already have turbo so i don't think buying me another one would help!

good luck, be thorough on your install.

I got a good friend, who I meet from the forums none the less, who is going to help with the install so that shouldn't be a problem. Just got to wait till he's done with the work he is going to his Talon. Some of you might know N1te... I meet him when he was young and still buying strut bars from Ebay...

He is still buying stuff from Ebay but turning around and selling it right back for a profit... he's my hero and my mechanic.

Oh and as some of you might recall my girlfriend has a Lancer too... so all my parts that I'll be upgrading or won't be using will be going on her car.

PS- Kungfugirl... I so thought you were a chick...

So far this is what I have done to my car:
RRM headers
Ported 4g93 intake mani
Magnaflow catback
RRM SRI
Short Shifter, bushings underhood and base
Nex SS coilovers
SS brakelines
Powerslot rotors
Axxis ultimate brake pads
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Carbon Fiber OEM hood
RDD's bars, front, rear, axel etc
Tinted windows...

So all in all I've done everything short of turbo... so this was the best birthday present ever.

Edit: forgot the underdrive pulley, ground kit, and I'm sure there is all sorts of other crap I'm leaving out...

Edit 2... like my Works stage 1 clutch and my SAFC II...

We gotta get that **** on. Test kit the front mount and decide if you want to use the RRM intercooler or the Evo 8. Happy for ya man it was fun playing this out and watching you get pissed at him for selling the kit to someone else

I'll have a camera on every bit of the install. I'm also thinking of upgrading the intercooler to the Evo VIII, and getting IC pipes powdercoated... assuming I can find a place that will do it well and cheap.
