I'll keep my personal opinions on worthless mods to myself.. hhehe.. But if it doesn't improve performance, its worthless to me.


the SSQV sound gets old real fast.. I got sick of it in a day, but it held boost better than other DV I have.. but you just can't VTA on a stock MAF car... it just won't run right.

Changing your seats for another pair is worthless if your current seats are still good....

honestly though. I dont think its worthless as long as you have fun putting it in. It doesn't take a whole lot to get me going. Just replacing my stock headlights for some silverstars made me giggle like a little school girl.

An alarm, no matter what the cost is only as good as the installer that installs it. There isnt a big market for Lancer parts. Yet.
