the plugs at home depot are more like plastic buttons , they have different sizes. it works good as a temporary solution. i need to get some touch up paint myself for the dings, i think you will always see where you touched up with new/fresh paint

Very tired lol.

My goal is to make lots of power . That will definitely help me hit 11's since I suck at driving and I cant hit it on stock turbo.

@Jim

It will be budget man stroked to a 2.1 when I get the rod's and pistons. Hope that will help with the lag. I dont normally boost on the streets anyway, so I dont mind.

if youre on a budget, id say get the black. you wont have to switch out manifolds. which ever one you decide on, youll need a double pumper if you want to run E85 still

Option 3 is buy a trunk made for a regular lancer. The paint codes are identical (if your car is a color that was offered for the regular Lancer, that is) and the 03 Lancer trunks fit exactly the same. It's likely to be cheaper than an Evo trunk lid too. For that matter, have you looked at trying to trade a regular Lancer owner for theirs?

You could go small wing too and channel your inner Gonzo.

Thank you I have tried talking to a few Lancer owners with no luck. Mine is a GG so it was the most popular lol.

But you are right.. with the black you won't need to swap out mannies.
