Another Build Thread...OZ Rally Style - **Long page load warning**
imajinmyfx - Yes and no, i'm currently living in an apartment in Bloomfield and there are a decent number of OZ rally editions around here, though most of them look daily driven by an older crowd... not really many mods to them. I may be moving back in with my parents in blairstown tho which is like near the border of PA in bumble**** nowhere. lol.
Sir Lance-A-Lot - Kinda... yeah. My first car was an silver/grey 06 Civic coupe and it was soooo bland...ugh. it was nice to have the black when i first got it, but i'd like to do it mitsubishi's like navy blue color that they had for lancers back in 03. although to be honest i would probably change the color on a weekly basis if i could...heh. now that would be the ****. push a button and get a different color car. just like in the video games! :-P
scorpionx13 - thanks man, it came with the car so when i saw another lancer on the road i was like "why the hell would he replace such a nice grill?" lol but yeah i hope i can transfer it to the Evo 7 front conversion kit i want to get from RRM... it doesn't look like it though...

DJ Icy Diva - You couldn't be more right... since I posted this thread I have gotten a Short ram intake, ordered a catback exhaust and got new fogs...well really replaced the fogs cuz my other set ...broke...i'm just gonna go with that.
lankid23 - Thanks man!
PsychoAmbrosia - I think you're right on that one actually... I remember reading a post somewhere about having to modify the crash bar in order to get something to fit. I'll take a look at Accolade's kit, though to be honest body mods are more likely to be a loong way off just yet lol.

PsychoAmbrosia - Yeah man that's probably the next thing on my list... though I gotta remember to save some money in general. Seems like every pay check I get is gone the next day lol.
I love the Lancer's rear bumper... as long as I'm looking at it directly from behind... lol. When I see it from the side I think DAMN I could put some book ends on there and make it a bookshelf. Hahaha. I don't understand what Mitsu was thinking when they designed that. Oh well that's why they make body kits.
ThunderOZ - Yeah VIS ftw. Unfortunately body kits are expensive...even just the hood and bumper. All in all though I'm probably just going to wait until I get enough money to do a body kit and get it painted at the same time. There are a few dozen scratches in my paint from various things and I'm gonna have to get the parts painted anyway so I might as well do it all at once rather than have to pay seperately for every new piece I put in.

Long Overdue Update..
Well I got a few new things for the car... swapped tires before the winter hit for Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 195/60R15s which I have to say are a pretty good overall tire. I also got a set of projector headlights with 8000k HIDs off of ebay...sadly they were short lived as a week after I got them I hit a guard rail . Soooo yeah. Some good news came from it though as all the bulbs (including the HIDs) are all still in working condition. So I think I'm just going to order another set of the projectors without the HIDs and put these ones in there.
Here are some pics for ya. Before and after.
Also... a question for the masses: would it be douche of me to buy a 6000k H7 HID kit and put it in as the High Beam bulb in those projectors? lol...

Long story short, the input shaft bearing and seal blew out on me last year; so I replaced the trans with one from a junkyard (because $700 was all I could afford). Now the clutch/trans is starting to make a similar noise as when it stopped working last year... so I'm gonna try and push it through the winter and hope that all goes well enough.
