have u tried having the engine bay pressure washed? one of the pics looks like theirs some oil residue on the vc

 

Nah never even looked into it. I assume you would have to cover up the battery, filter, and wires?

 

Decided to dress up the wheels a bit.





Was really hard to find decent lug nuts to fit these wheels..

And the result. Should have actually washed the wheels first

 

Got my Tow Hook in today. And I got a Flickr account too finally! Certainly an acquired taste, but I love it!

 

Car looks great man! Couple questions. . .

How does the car feel / ride after the new shocks and springs? That's the exact setup I'm looking at.

How difficult was the shift knob swap? I wouldn't mind a simple auto shifter like that, but Idk how to approach the shifter itself.

It suck to hear that your lip kit never worked out. I want at least a front lip and sideskirts. I, too, am torn on a spoiler so I'm staying tuned to your build to see which direction I take in that aspect.

 

Thanks man! It rides decent, not near as bad as I though it would! and the best part is that it isn't a major drop so you don't have to worry about dips, bumps, or speedbumps! I love it.

The shift knob it's self is easy to take off, there are two screws on the front side of it and then it just slides off i believe. The new knob I got was just a cheapy though so I actually had to wrap the shift stick with electric tape and then slide the knob over it to make it fit snug lol....gets the job done though.

As far as spoilers go I am leaning towards the rexspeed carbon fiber type 1 trunk spoiler as I plan to get an OEM style CF hood as well.

 

Here are some pics of the Car at a local carshow this weekend. (10-16-10) Got 3rd in import class!

 

haha cool. congrats!

 

Bought a VIS OEM style Carbon Fiber hood off of a member on here today and installed it this evening. Fits great! Here are some crappy iPhone pics...will take some better ones with the DSLR later.

 

Hey man! The hood looks great! It really works well with your car. I went through most of your build thread here, and I must say, I am very impressed with the direction you have taken to mod this Lancer! Very well done! Way to go. My congrats to you on a beautiful car.

I'm so happy that you like the hood. And I'm glad you had no troubles with it. Thank you very much. I'm glad it went to someone that will really appreciate it. The car looks great!

 

Wow man.. Car has come a long way..

i remember when u first got this thing and posted the first pictures..

Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks man! I appreciate the sell I love this hood and I'm glad I got the opportunity to buy it

Ha I could say the same about your car! Thanks man, it's come a long way but it's still got a ways to go
