I work on a college campus and I saw some hottie pull up next to me at a light in a Lancer LS same color as mine, I rolled down my window, smiled and yelled "Nice car!" before laying a patch and pulling away on red.

Ah, the fun of a stick shift.

anyone here installed a strut on your car? how much does it help? wanna get it if it's worth it. don't know what to get first. dash kit? fog lights? strut? intake? exhaust? system? man... this is so hard.
Do you mean the strut tower bar? It's to reduce chassis flex in hard cornering. You may not feel it a lot because the Lancer has a fairly stiff chassis (same base as the Evo VII we're told) and we have less than half the power and about half the cornering ability. Very easy to install. If it takes more than 15 minutes you should give up tuning immediately.

If you mean struts themselves then it's much more difficult. Gotta remove the wheels, brakes, stock struts, replace and rebuild. Fun!

I'd go intake, header (too bad they weren't available sooner or I'd have gotten one then), exhaust and the rest is gravy. In retrospect I should have done things in a different order, but it'll all end up the same in the end so I'm happy.

I saw a silver one the other day on South Broad St and it wasnt an old lady but there are quite a few fogies in Lancers
Remy- If it was a cool *** white boy with 2tone leather/tint/exhaust, it was me. I also know there's an older oriental guy with the same silver OZ with the same exact leather as me.

PS...how does seaside this weekend sound, maybe friday or saturday night?? let me know, i have no plans for this weekend yet

Seaside for the 4th? Murder. I'm already heading back up north to the 'rents place and to see Petty at the PNC on Sat.

maybe the 19th or 20th would be cool...

If by "seaside" you mean "cleaning your room" then I'd say, "GREAT!"

Sho nuff. Just went down to the roach coach and saw a red ES in the neighboring parking lot. There was a white OZ there a couple weeks back too. Prolly both owned by middle aged women. Figures.

No need for that. It's just no fun when you tell someone about LF and they're like "that's awesome" then never register or just don't care to begin with. You seem to be the exception.

EDIT: It's not the age I meant to emphasize it was the presumable lack of interest in tuning.
