Well my lancer went in to the shop today after sitting for over 2 weeks. Head gasket job should be done by next tuesday.

 

Finally got my SR-S Catback for my '04 Lancer <3

 

daughter came home for the weekend. installed a front strut tower brace to provide some rigidity to the car.

 

What do you think of the results? Been thinking about doing front and rear after I finish with the full exhaust overhaul.

 

I got both the front and rear tower strut braces from a member on here, and I loved it. Handling felt better.

 

I can't say yet, as I have not driven it since I installed it. I don't drive the car much at all, so not sure I will be able to tell. I told her she might be able to, but I haven't asked if she could tell any difference. I want to install a rear one as well.

I have a rear on my Cobra, and from the factory, it had one on the front. I can tell when the front is on and when it is off. right now it is off...it won't fit with my intake. I am going to try to get my fabricator to make me something that will fit.

 

Finished my 2 tone plasti dip paint job today

 

any more pics? I thought of doing that to my daughter's car...her's is white also. would like to see the back and other angles. i like it. don't know if she would.

 

I can get more. I literally took thay pictures as soon as I put up my materials

 

I spent my day replacing my oem header with one from magnaflow that's carb legal so I can pass smogg...




wish I had more pics but the memory card I was using got corrupted so I just have these to show and some video but I lost the ones with the removal of the header

 

Today I replaced my climate control. Really simple to do. my old one had a broken stem on the heater side. Thought it was the climate control itself. Turns out it is something in the part where the cables attach to. Need to get into it and prolly need to change the gears in there to get it to move correctly

 

Yeah thats a common problem with 02-06 lancers & evos. The dealer sells a rebuild kit for the gears for about $20. The stem on mine is broken too but i just reach under the dash and switch it from cold/hot manually. Takes me 5seconds to do lol

 

Nice job man. Looks good so far.

 

Lol I do the same thing. I have the kit in the trunk, will most likely change it in a few days.

 

Any gains over stock with the Magnaflow or is it pretty much the same?
