Midnightkid's '03 Lancer









Thats about it so far, short and simple, just the way I like it. I know, ditch the crome headlights for some black ones and lower it. Thats what everyones told me. But with me, when I do something, I do it right. So, I'm saving up for my Cedia Black Projectors and Tein Super Streets

I like what I see. May I suggest looking into the Megan Racing Coilovers. They are just as good as the Tein Super Streets, but the cost less. I had them on my old Lancer and I loved them.

Yeah I agree with Kurt, teins are great but you're mainly paying for the brand to be quite honest. Maybe a ralliart grill would be nice as well. Keep it clean I wouldn't body kit anything.

Definitely, The most I'd get in terms of a kit is either the OEM OZ Rally kit, or the JDM Cedia Front Bumper. As for the Megan Racing Coilovers, I did see them on the RRM page and liked what I saw. I'm gonna do a bit more research into them and compare notes. But I agree that I'd be paying for the name if I got the Teins. I definitely don't want to blow all that cash especially when I'm saving up for a Turbo kit.

That would be pretty cool if we can get a Lancer meet going, or do a Red Rock or Valley of Fire Cruise. I've already met 3 other Lancers in Vegas, an OZ Rally, 04 ES, and 04 Ralliart. We've already done a couple photoshoots, and we've gone to every Midnight Mayhem as of late. But yeah, That'd be cool if we met up. I'm always looking forward to meeting other Lancer-enthusiasts.

Heres a couple of pics from Midnight Mayhem that we took.

Looking very good.
What kind of exhaust do you have? Is it a cat back or just muffler?

In order to get power out of these cars you pretty much are going to have to go turbo. The exhaust isn't that loud, and you always could just put a resonator in there.

I've been looking around to get my hands on OZ Side skirts. If anyone find some, let me know If anything, I'll just go with an aftermarket sideskirt, but nothing too fancy. Also, do you have any links to the RMR Lip kit? I've been searching all over the place to buy it, but all the links are either invalid or a dead end.
