parts!

I can't wait until parts start popping up more.

As far as engine/body mods, do you guys know what kind of restrictions Mitsubishi places on them as far as warranty is concerned?

I know that's a ***** question to ask, lol, but I gotta keep good on my warranty for a while.

no mods/aftermarket equipment void the warranty UNLESS they are found to have caused the problem.

As far as performance goes, my '08 Lancer gts really kicks in @ 4k rpm...therefore, I'm really worried about having too much turbo lag in the low end...anybody else concerned about that...?

You know even with just an exhaust or intake, can't they just say that you disrupted the flow of air and changed the backpressure, and that the cars are designed to work perfectly with what they come with and that changing any of it slightly could cause problems? I always thought that Act was great, but then thought of how simple it is for them to go around it.

"your modification caused your car to accelerate much faster than stock, therefor the speed you went over the pothole is faster than normal, causing the suspension to blow, warrently VOID"

i could see one of those bastards actually saying that

Really it all depends on your dealerships service dept. mine is run buy a lady named robin and when i droped my 02 OZ with some eibach racing springs i hit a huge pot hole and busted my strut they coverd it under my warranty. But she said she would only cover it once. So if u had a problem they would probably cover it once but if u had it over and over they wouldn't keep doing it. So i am not worried about bolt ons but cams and turbo's would most likely not fly to well.
