haha +1
i loved that evo
good choice with the blue

ps. you never gave me a link to where you got the trunk btw

 

i got it used from an ex-lancer owner.. lol.. RPM was his S/N..

 

what kind of paint color did you use on your calipers....looks pretty sick.

 

dude the calipers look noice in that shade of blue. The build is coming along pretty nice, I'm also going to start on something soon, couldn't get a new car so might as well enjoy what I got now. I'm with you with not investing money on the 4G94, I'm also thinking about the 4G64 swap that RPM did. More power!!! You should get an Evo VIII or IX steering wheel. They're the same design just the formers is silver-ish and the latter is black if your going with the Evo interior thing still. It feels and looks waaaaaayyyy better than the lancer's steering wheel. It's kind of like having a Mont Blanc to steer. (meaning it's a fine driving utensil) Well not that high end but you get the picture. I did it on mine and enjoy it alot, I figure since that's a part of the car that I stare at everytime I'm in the car, it might as well look good, except I don't have an airbag, so it kinda sucks having a big *** hole in the wheel, lol.

 

lol How is it that by having something and not using it for its purpose an 'idiot'? If you have the money then buy whatever the hell you want. Why have a Ferrari if you're never going to be driving it around? Gee I dont know. Rich people have them sitting in the front of their house rotting. Cars are meant to be driven. But they have it their because they wanted it, and just like it. So I guess they're idiots too then. Cars are for preference, if you have the money and want to PIMP it out, GO FOR IT. If you have the money to tune it up, GO FOR IT. People do whatever they want to their cars because they have the money and a vision of what they want it to look like or run like. Maybe people where he lives don't really race on tracks as much as where you live, so he just showcases it. A tail always makes a Lancer look nicer and tougher. I have an 02 lancer, and honestly, everything to it looks like a girls car except the fact that I have an aftermarket muffler, and I put eyelids on it. The eyelids make it (TO ME) look 'tougher' than without it. It's all preference.

Cadi-Luva - Go for whatever you want mi amigo cubano, you have all the opinions in the world here on these forums, but in the end its your money, and YOU'RE the driver. Not the people who ***** about it.

Performance first - looks later. But he wants to stand out first. He wants to mod later. It's not like he's racing it right now so he doesn't need the stuff you're talking about. Now if he were to actually want to race it RIGHT Now then, ok, I'm with you amby, performance should have been first. Plus, it's not as if he's going to go street racing, so it doesn't matter how his performance on his daily drives should be. If he were to go to the tracks as he is now, then that'd be an embarassing experience, and THEN can you say "I told you so."

 

exactly, I think that non of us could really saying anything bad about one anothers cars, I mean two very different kinds of people in the import scene and within to two groups are various other groups, but there's the "blingers" and the "purists" for lack of a better word. I think you could do whatever you want to your car because that's what it is all about. Making your 20K and below car good enough for the individual driving it. I mean there's things we all frown upon but it's not like it's a roof scoop or something. BTW i think something that would be cool is to have a "rice challenge", I mean you get a beater car or something we'd unanimously consider to be a beater car (i.e. Kia, Daewoo, Hyundai?) and have like a 1K budget and just rice the hell out of it on that budget, that'd be phuc-ing awesome,

 

^ this actually sounds pretty fun.
would definitly get alot of laughs & memories out of it.

 

lol. Yea huh. Then sell it for 20k to a ricer boy in our hometown. Hah.

 

IMO it makes you an idiot, key phrase, in my opinion. Just because people do it doesn't make it right, that is very poor logic. Putting a wing intended for racing on a car that will never see the race track is IMO silly. If he likes it great, I'm honestly happy for him, but it's not something I agree with.

 

And I completely agree with your disagreement, but it is not IMPORTANT ENOUGH to attack somebody with negative comments about it. No one gives a ****.

 

I'm not attacking anybody, I haven't made any personal comments I have simply said "I don't like it" or "I don't agree with it", that is all.

 

Yes, but you could have stated that, (which you did) and leave it at that, instead of making a back and forth argument of why you don't like it.

 

Its alright guys.....I think CediLuva will pull off the look after he works on the car some more. Remember, he is not done with it.

 

"us" - well you see "prospective rice buyer" the roof scoop adds 20 whp and each decal adds another 5 whp. The universal exhaust is good for at least 50 whp.

"rice buyer"- OMG, i'll take it!

"us" - muahahahahahaha yes, we knew you would.


a little off topic but good humor.
