aloidflip_2’s 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer

Installed Rimskins to all my wheels to protect them from kerb damage or gash.    

Reached the 200,000km ODO reading for my Lancer!!!!  

Replaced the spark plugs with the NGK Iridium spark plugs. Odometer reading at 199450. Spark plugs 1 to 3 have oil leaks on them while spark plug four is clean and free of engine oil.

Replaced my old headlights with a pair of new one. Also replaced my old H$ bulbs with the LED bulbs from Nighteye I have to re-align the beam because it was high when I installed the headlights. Also the only thing i noticed from the LED buld is that the high beam is not that bright. The low beam is perfect, it's the high beam that is not that good. Let's how it goes!    

January 2018 - Tinted all the windows of my 2006 Lancer with a 35% VLT Tint from Altrex. Installed the tints myself. The installation was not that all perfect, with some air bubbles. Hopefully it will perform well in the Australian Sun!!!  

Replaced my windshield washer pump at ODO reading of 169,000. Noticed one day the washer does not work. water is not coming out of the washers. Bought the replacement on Ebay for just $20. It is not a genuine Denso product but after I installed it, it worked fine. Photo of the replacement pump below: Removal is easy: 1. Remove the splash guards at the front bottom right hand side of the car that is close to the tire. Did not bother removing the tire. You can jack up the car while if you like. 2. Remove one bolt that holds the front bumper. It should be visible on the wheel well. 3. Slightly just partially remove the bumber out of the frame. You will see the pump secured to the reservoir. Using a straight screw driver, remove the pump by poking the screwdriver at the bottom part of the pump. There is a small square hole that you will see at the bottom part of the reservoir. Insert the screwdriver there and once secured, slightly push the pump away from the reservoir by slowly prying it with the screwdriver. 4. Be careful of the reservoir water once the pumps is removed. All the water will drain from the hole so it is handy to have a bucket in place while removing the pump. 5. Remove the power wire and the output hose from the pump. 6. Replacing with the new one is just a matter of reversing this procedure.

Replaced my Federal 595 SS tires with a Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 Tires. The profile and size are still the same at 205/45R17.

Replaced the radiator of my car at 118000km odometer reading. Replaced the coolant as well. Apparently a leak started in the upper plastic area of the radiator.

The incident happened while we were on our way to Coffs Harbor, Australia for a weekend holiday, it was a 4-hour drive. Probably a metal thing was on the side of the road when the front wheel of the car ran over it. We were traveling at 110kmh. Did a bit of a damage to my front rim.

DECEMBER 2013 - Audio Mod

Replaced my old Pioneer DEH-1750 head unit with Pioneer DEH-2450UB. Now it's got 2 preouts at the rear so that means I can run both the front and rear preouts to my 2 amplifiers at the back of the car!

What's good about this head unit is that it plays MP3's and WMA audio formats.

August 2013: 1. Replaced my timing belt when the car reached 100k. (Philippa 805) 2. Replaced my spark plugs when the odometer reached 100k.

For this month I have done 2 things: 1. Installed an OEM front strut bar brace for my lancer. 2. Re-oiled my K&N air filter. The odometer reads 106000km when I re-oiled my air filter.
