Ok guys change of plans. This morning I was all gun hoe about buying new carbon fiber tail lights. Now I see that they cost around $190.
I was looking around on rmr and also saw that i could also get a front and rear strut bar or some intake.
Currently my car is stock. I also want a cia but i have an auto.
What to buy??

 

how much are you willing to spend? an SRI off ebay is cheap, i paid $25 shipped for mine, and then i'd go to town tightening up that suspension. rear sway, then front strut, then springs.

 

well heres what I got in order
1) AEM cold air intake
2) eyelids
3) rear strut bar
4) blacked out headlights
5) new grill

next I'm getting a piggyback ECU and a carbon fiber hood and hopefully trunk if I can rob a bank successfully

 

front strut and rear anti-sway bar.
then intake
then springs
then exhaust

 

oh yeah if your poor go to an exhaust shop and for 20$ they'll remove the catalytic converter and replace it with a straight pipe. this truly helped my CAI!!

 

I say, spend all the money on performance parts! Trust me! You'll be REALLY happy w/ the results!!!

 

You have a OZ auto so go this route

1. Springs
2. Rims
3. Strut and Sway bars
4. Evo spoiler
5. SRI on ebay
6. JUST MUFFLER

You have an OZ auto, you will not be fast unless you see a turbo kit. Get things that look good first, then get a little sound. Just a muffler on ebay will look good and sound good and not cost much at all.

If $$$ is a HUGE factor, SRI and Muffler BOTH can probably be had for $60-$100 shipped. That and springs will be under $100 also.
Thats my .02

 

I would go with this but in my opinion I would switch 1 and 2... but if you aren't gonna change the stock OZ rims then get the springs A.S.A.P... but I still think a set of 17's would look nice before the springs and amazing afterwards.

now would it be better for me to hunt them down off of ebay or somewhere or to get it new and shipped to me though?

 

Hunt what down? The SRI?

well all of it not just the intake....i could search around and find good prices for everything...off ebay or around here. there is no way for me to be able to afford the rims or the srpings right now. i really would like some more hp

 

i would like to spend around $200 this month on my car

 

Well... I wouldn't trust EBAY for rims and tires anyways. Go ahead and try to grab the strut and sway bars first. Make sure you get hooked up with a good vendor though.

you could technically holdoff on sway bar since the OZ has one, although a rather small one, but its better than nothing... I'd start out with front tower strut (60+off this site maybe) then get an intake (anywhere from 25-190 off various sites) then an exhaust... exhaust can be gotten at any muffler shop for about 200 and some change less you wanna try sweettalkin! As for the intake you could always just look on ebay for a MAS adapter plate for the lancer and buy a big K&N or other varation of the cone filter and make your own short ram intake!

Figure on only getting like 1 thing per month if you only want to spend about 200 a month, unless you go the ebay way!

 

i know but i want it all now

oh well good things come to those that wait. or so they say
