besides the driver mod...

 

for example. heres what im looking to do to my 03 OZ
Intake
Pully
Engine Dampener
Muffler
Grounding Kit

Eventually:
Piggy Back
Throttle Body
Intake Manifold

would any of those increase or decrease reliability?

 

As long as you won't screw anything up while installing your mods your lancer will last forever. If you will run into any problems you can search for some info on this forum and replace bad parts with better aftermarket ones. That's all there is.

 

64k miles, one "totallying" accident, boat load of mods... no problems to speak of.

 

excellent. I bought my oz with 57k miles on it, it has 60k now, im due for an oil change, but i have had no real problems with it.
although my steering is acting up. on hot days if i turn hard it just stops and i have to force it round, and it squeals. Im gonna take it in cos i have a warranty, but if any1 has any ideas on what it might be, give me a PM. save me sum time and money. lol

 

Something is up with the serpentine belt.

 

what's that?

how do i fix it? can I do it, or should i take it in?

 

if your not sure what the serpentine belt is i would not suggest trying to fix it yourself...

 

ok i will take it in when i get some extra cash.

 

I used to have a 2004 ES with 40,000 miles and no problem, just one recall.

Now i have a 2003 OZ with 35,000 miles, no problems.

 

wow, how do you have 35000 on it, do u have another car to drive around or do u just live in a quaint town where theirs nothin to do but walk around?

 

yea my serpentine belt broke twice, i dunno why, but its a ***** to replace a real *****, like roseann times 500! anyone who watches roseann knows what im talkin about. anyway ive had a few brake jobs and the serpentine belt done but thats pretty much all at 85000 miles

 

^^ I thought getting to the serpentine belt was a bad a couple days ago when I was trying to install my pulley. Old pulley didn't come off because of retarded electric impact gun, so I had to hurry putting everything back together. It's simple once you've done it twice.

Lost power steering/ac because I screwed up putting everything back together but now it's fine. No other problems but that, and that was MY fault.

 

I had an air-impact gun and couldn't get that bolt loose, so don't feel too bad. But I traded mine in before I tried to do it again... speaking of.. anyone need a timing belt and water-pump? lol

 

actually, yeah...PM'd you
