Possible, but I won't be able to bring my Lancer because it's disassembled right now. It would be disappointing for me to meet up with Lancer owners and not have my Lancer with me. Hell the car I'm driving around now is twice as slow as the Lancer (70hp baby ). Hopefully once I get the turbo I'll be able to put it on pretty quickly since everything is off and ready to go (minus tapping the oil pan).

I ran into theblue yesterday at a friends house. He was putting hard IC pipes into his EVO.

Nice. I must assume you have a new MR because of your user name?

Picked up my MR yesterday. The car is awesome and the graphite looks even better in person than it does in pics. Also, going to get a second set of wheels for snow tires. Probably going to snow sooner than you think. What do most of the northeasterners do for cheap (but not ugly) winter wheels? I will probably get Blizzaks or Alpines unless anyone thinks something else is better.

There are a few threads already up on that topic. If you want good winter tires get the Dunlop Winter Sport M3. My roommate has them on his S4 and loves them, decent prices too. I have steels for my winter rims. You could pick up some Rotas or Konig Heliums for about $600 a set shipped, or just go to PepGirls and get some cheapos from them.

The best winter tires are Nokian's, but they are going to be really pricey for your rim size.

I just picked up some 205/50HR-16 Pirelli Winter 210 SnowSport tires. Got pretty decent ratings on Tirerack, and cost me about $500 shipped.
