i dont think i would get a whole new car just cuz of my problems lol. i wish i could afford an evo but im only 18, im in school, and im finding a job so yeah for us kids out there that dont have deep pockets i like my lancer. but that doesnt mean once i have the money i wont go out and get an evo becuase thats what i plan on doing lol.

ok well guess what everyone i got the wheel off my car today lol. my dad and i went out and he thought he could do it because he found his t-bar. he almost had a stroke lol. so what we did was put the t-bar on and and hit it with a sludge hammer to get the bolts loose. once we got it off we found the problem. the rotor was worn down. seriously the breakpad was GONE!!! i felt the rotor and you could feel the differeance. even looking at it you could see it. what surprised me was that usually it didnt makethe usual little noise. but this came from no where. there was no noise and then it was like an airplane. crazy stuff. but thats not the end of my bad luck. my OZ rims have the lock on it. i dont know if that came stock or not. but as we put the special bolt thingy on the bolt we notice it is just spinngin. the stupid bolt lock thingy was broken. so right now we found this welders puddy and are putting it back together and my dad just wants to get new bolts.

looks like its time for new rotors and pads . you lookin to upgrade? go with what rrm got and you'll stop 10x better. a bit expensive though.

yeah i wen to autozone today and i found some cheap *** rotors and my dad will pay for those woot woot no money coming out of my pocket. i dont really want to deck out my OZ. just want to have fun with it till i cant get an evo or an STI depending on if they come out with evo X or not and if i want a new STI or an older MR. but when the guy at autozone brought up drilled and slotted rotors a big smile did come on my face lol.
