Today i officially turned 20 and finally ordered my 2008 Lancer GTS which should be here in 3-4 weeks according to the dealer. Got it in electric blue with the 5speed, sun & sound package and Nav & tech package. Really excited and cant wait for it to get here. Plans as of now go like this:
-Coilovers
-Wheels
-Intake
-Pulleys
-Maybe exhaust if i find one that i like the sound of.
-Piggyback system
-Custom black leather/ suede 2 tone seats
-Turbo or S/C in the far future.
Just really excited and cant wait it to get here and get rid of my automatic golf. Glad to be finally getting into a manual.

 

congrats man. and happy birthday

 

^^Exactly how I'd order mine...awesome! Not sure about the availability of full coilovers right now, but the other basic bolt-ons would be a good starting pt!

Good luck and enjoy!
