how many miles & how many problems
I just wanted to get a clue as to the problems all of you guys have seen, and how some of the higher mileage lancers are doing
obviously your driving style will have an effect on your cars condition, so let me know how you drive if you have any problems. i've got 27k on mine, have driven it hard every mile and luckily have nothing to complain about.
I've got 21,100 on mine, I've had the body kit re-painted due to peeling, the front bumper is still peeling as well as in the rear wheelwell, let's see...The wing has two dull circles only visible at night in parking lot lights, there's a rattle around the passenger seat belt, I've checked and can't find out what the hell it is, and the dash creeks as well.
My only guess about the rattle is the exhaust is loud and makes the car vibrate (I love it) I don't drive too hard just occasionally.

I have a lot of rattles inside my car, not only from driving rough and hitting a couple of bad holes but cuz of muh system. I found out that all lancers have a recall on some part with the rear sway bar and bearings, if you have an incessant squeak, like I did, it's faulty and should be covered by warranty. i got mine fixed for free. Lets see, I've already been rear ended, had my garage door slammed down twice on me back bumper (Mom and brothers fault) hit a deep hole, which warped my front bumper and cracked the left front skid plate off, and been run off the road leading to two front bearings broken and both front tires steel belts ruined. Everything but the bumpers is fixed, but i plan on getting a body kit anyway and you really can't see the damage unless you're under the car. The most noticeable things has been the plastic pieces on the doors where the window button is rattles (it's been that way since about the second week i've owned it) and the front part of the steering wheel rattles (drives me nuts) I've brought it in to the dealership since I have an extened warranty and they didn't do a damn thing to it. All of it still rattles and drives me insane!!!!!Oh yeah, and I just crossed 14000

25k here, and got no problems except for worn out brake pads, but replaced them with ones from RRM, and for some reason, my bumpers and side skirts squeak when i slam the doors and when my system starts hittin loud
47,000 (King OZ Driver) I've had to replace a cross arm and the alignment hasn't been the same since. One small electric problem on the dash lighting..half of it is out. My Sylvania Silverstars wear out every 60 days or so..not sure if it's the light, or the electrical system, or the lights ****in up the electrical system...going to PIAA's next month. A little bit of rotor squeaking, getting worse lately, I'm ready to either get new ones or have old ones machined cause I'm still waiting to put my Porterfeld brake pads on...(thanks Rock!)
doesn't sound too bad so far, only thing i've had go wrong so far was losing most of the plastic stone guard under the front driver side.... but since i hit a dead deer at 70 mph and my car is lowered 2-1/2" and thats all that happened i can't really complain. haven't had any problems with my silvania silverstars by the way (Pimpson) and i've had them for like 3 months now. i'm sure they will burn out now that i said they were doing fine. oh well
