Trying to clean my engine bay. Doesn't look as bad as before.

 

Looks like you're off to quite the start. That list looks good, caught up on this from your previous thread. You listed "halo headlights," are you referring to the depot projector headlights?

 

Yeah I did mean headlights. And yeah it's going to cost a little bit lol.

 

Painted the heat shield today with high heat resistance paint !

Before and after pic. (I had to do so much sanding !)

The blue is darker than it looks in the picture

 

Put it back in an it looks decent the blue is a little lighter than the intake but looks way better than it did before !

 

Looks nice with it blue! Shoulda used plasti dip though!

 

I would have put idk if it's heat resistance

 

All of those are pretty much a waste for our lancers... The Piggy back and "Performance" ECU don't apply because you can just flash your current ECU to an EVO rom when you go turbo (DO MORE RESEARCH! )

I wouldn't waste any money on an RRM product unless you couldn't find anything that else that would take its place. Read around on this forum for RRM reviews.

Want a suggestion from someone who has been here, just spend like $70 on ebay for some Hart drilled and slotted rotors for the lancer (any pads will do, I try to just find ones with the least brake dust) currently using Hawk HPS which ran me about $70. Front brake lines are perfectly fine the way they are to be honest.

Drop the car on springs or coilovers, maybe put some wheels on it, then paint details like calipers, etc. and that's about all she's worth.

 

Thanks man this stuff came in handy !!

Also made a small video of my mods on my car.

 

Nice!

 

Thanks man

 

How's the progress on this build?

 

I made a new thread called the slow one it's more updated

 

Cool, will check it out
