I said good bye to my 2004 Lancer Ralliart!

The Lancer is gone but the passion for the triple diamond remains!

Mitsubishi Model car collection and Brochure page is still alive and kicking!
Go to page 4

My wife and I have an 18 month old son. We have baby #2 on the way soon. My company car is now the MMNA Factory Ralliart Evo IX. All these factors combined to the unfortunate trading in of my Lancer Ralliart. My wifes Montero Sport had over 90,000 miles on it. We traded that car, that was paid off, and my Lancer Ralliart on a brand new 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor. Now she has a brand new car, full warranty, low miles, and we are still at only one car payment. Plus I am taking the Evo as a company car. I will still update this site with diecast and meet pictures on the other pages... see the page contents below. I did get one last hurrah!!! in the Lancer. Two days before trading her in I drove her in the SCCA autocross in York, PA. You can see those pictures below as well.

I will miss "Artie" but when every chapter ends, another one is opened...... OK, kinda cheesey but I loved that darn car.

When a person owns a car they often times have to decide what "type" of car it will be. Stock, tuner, etc. I have worked for a Mitsubishi dealer since they bought the franchise in the mid-1980's. I have always loved the brand and have decided that I want to own a Lancer Ralliart that is all factory correct. I have only added factory MMNA parts, and accessories, or genuine Ralliart items. I love the company and love the workmanship that they do.

Re-arranged the Factory MMNA gauge cluster. More useful and easier to use having them mounted higher on the dash. Below you can see the old way and the new way.

My new Lancer keychain. It has the triple diamond on the back. Not bad for coming from MMCA.

Factory MMNA Sport Gauges

dmeluzio22's 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer York, PA Customized with Enkei Wheels, Infinity Subwoofers, Bridgstone Tires - 115


The Sport Gauges from the factory are top notch. I was a bit worried at first cause they are pretty salty but after I saw them in the car I love them. They are white faced and have the Mitsubishi logo on them. They show the volts, oil temp., and the vaccum backpressure.

These are a must. You have to stay on top of this color to keep it clean. It is front wheel drive so two mudguards up front are enough. It will help keep her clean and plus they look cool.
