update some new pics
i thought that i owed it to the little beater to have a few better pics on here. so uhm.. here they are.




old part of the thread
this car is my daily driver. when i got coilovers for the evo i decided to put it's old stechs on the es. i don't plan on doing to much else to this car except maybe some rims. most of my money goes to my evo.



i got a good deal on some cheap rims. not what i was looking for but they will work.
i tested to see fitment and i'm waiting on tires. here are some crummy pics.



thanks for looking. i love the evo but this little car is fun in it's own right.

 

your the lancer man hey

 

maybe. i had an 02 oz rally then an 04 ralliart. traded it for the evo and got this for daily driving. addicted i guess.

 

looks good so far seems like your deffinatly in the right direction to creating a nice looking lancerr

do u know how much was that drop?

 

nice beater man.

 

you should deff paint that grill or do something with it... ugliest thing on the lancer.. lol... im in the procces of making a custom abs plastic one...

 

That's cool, 2 Lancers. I plan on doing the same when I get an Evo, except mine wont be quite a beater, but more of a daily driver like it is now. That's pretty clean though. I agree with the others: Rims/tires and a drop would suffice.

 

Lancers For Life!

 

lol - one mans beater is another mans pride and joy on this site. must be nice!
and i agree with getting some rims…always better than stock steelies
other than that…mods under $10…black out the front grille and de-badge the rear!

 

when it was on the evo it had 2 in the front and about 1.5 in the back. It looks about the same. Most people say springs aren't good for handeling but I took it on some twisties this weekend and it didn't feel like a boat about to tip over anymore. Who knows how long the evo shocks will last. I purchased the car from my fiancé when she got her outlander. It does need some claybar wax and polish action Even though I call it my beater I have respect for this little car. So no offence to other regular lancers. I think I might put some 15x7 axis ogs or 16x7 sportmax whatever fits without rubbing(and is cheaper). Thanks for the comments

 

I don't mind the grill and badges. The rims I want have a polished lip that might match them. Who knows.

 

I hope I can turn my O2 into my beater by the end of the year or next. Basically it depends on how the house situation goes. I want an 09 Ralliart, but the wifey said it depends on that situation since I decided to get her the Outlander last year. Car looks good though man... for a beater.

 

thanks i understand the house thing. if i didn't have a family i'd live in a garage with cars. but instead i have a house payment that sometimes prevents me from getting parts for my car. oh well it's worth it. good luck getting a new ralliart. they sound like they are gonna be nice. i like the 04 i had but they were killing me on intrest. for some reason i got a much better rate on the evo.

 

Haha, this guy is one of the few Evo owners that doesn't crap on Lancers! That's awesome. I have the same plan, keep my Lancer once I get an Evo. Keep the insurance down by saying it is a weekend car.

Debadge the rear, get some 16s, do something with the grill and you'll be set.

The Evo looks good btw. Kinda looks like you have a VII wing.

 

yeah. Thats a seven style wing but when my new bumper and side steps (for the evo) get here I'm taking it off. I wish I could find someone with an oz lip and sides to trade for it. It isn't a bad wing I just want the wingless look on my evo. Thanks for the comments.
