This is my first car and it is the car i always wanted to get. Ive always liked the styling of this model (lancer MR coupe) and wanted a red one because of the Mitsubishi rally cars.
Bought the car stock and have started to do a few modifications such as:

INTERIOR
. For the interior there are red and black seat covers
. Initial D floor mats
. Autotecnica gear boot
. Autotecnia Monza Sport red and black drivers seat with rails.
. Momo gear knob
. Momo commando black leather steering wheel
. Momo Carbon/red pedels
. 35% tinted windows
. Progressive shift light- 7 differing coloured lights indicating the rpm
. Rally spec short shifter which makes gear changing so much easier.
. Spray painted parts of the center dash red aswell as the power window and door handle plastics a red/black mix.
ENGINE
. Pacemaker extractors with ceramic coating (fantastic)
. High flow cat and 2.25 inch stainless flex pipe
. 55mm throttle body and thermo gasket.

The car put out 137 hp at the flywheel with the power band going all the way to 7500 rpm.
WHEELS, BRAKES AND SUSPENSION
. Finaly bought some wheels. There BSA 17x7 inch in premium hyper black with Nankang NS2 205/40
. The car has also been lowered 40mm all around on king springs.
. I have installed an 18mm whiteline rear sway bar with new bushes for extra handling stability.
. Whiteline strut brace
. Whiteline Anti lift/Caster kit
. Upgrages to DBA 276mm slotted rotors drilled to 4x100
. Twin Piston Verada brake capilars
. Ferodo XL brake pads
. Custom made braided brake lines
. Painted the front brake capilers and rear drums black
Here are some shots from a recent trip to the track.
There is really not that much more I am looking to do at the moment as I feel the car is pretty balanced for what i use it for. Also being a student funds are somewhat limited but I am really please with how it is turning out. Next I think ill get a performance plenum for greater low rpm response and maybe stage one cam gears...will it end??
Personally I really enjoy driving the car. Its good on fuel, ride quality and sound quality are good and ive had no problems at all mechanically since i bought it over 1 1/2 years ago.
