Yeah, tell me about it! There is NO way I could have it modded like this on my own...probably ever. The wheels and supsension would have came last if it was stock. Not to mention, I've never had nice wheels. They are so nice!
Keep a look out. I'm picking them up Saturday, and if my neighbor and his lancer ES doesn't get them, they will be for sale with the tires.
I still can't get over that fact myself!
Thank you! They are very flush with the car, so maybe the +15's. I recently curbed a wheel on my last car, so I've been watching out closely.
LOL, that's what I thought too. My last 3 cars though were silver. Great color to keep clean. It's been raining the past few days, car still looks good to me ha. I've also been known to wash my car in the rain.
With all the lambos and ferrari's on the showroom floor, I don't think they were too worried about this one. They stuck with the entire deal we worked out over the phone. They didn't even crank my car or get in it for that matter. The deal would be good even stock, but with these mods I couldn't pass it up!

Pretty sure they are +25.. See here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...-lug-nuts.html
At any rate, gorgeous car right off the showroom floor. You really struck gold there!

I couldn't find the install instructions at his website, but did find a partial how-to at clubcj.net, an Australian lancer forum. (clubcj.net link) The project looks do-able, but wiring and running the harnesses looks like it might be quite a pain. Plus, after watching some videos of the mirrors on youtube, I came across a guy that had a broken motor in one and warns that they're garbage.
I love the look, but wouldn't wanna take the risk spending all that time and money on a product of unknown quality. Also, it seems that all the pre-painted colors are for the lancer and not the evo (ie, tarmac black instead of phantom black).
Anyone ever source and install a factory Euro or JDM auto-folding mirror, or come across any other aftermarket ones yet??

Ok guys, it's been almost 3 weeks since I bought it, and I've found a few more things. I've been searching like crazy to find out the best way to get this Evo running properly. First thing was the fuel pump relay. Popped my box today and saw I don't have both wiring harnesses like everyone else. I'm pretty confused between the black, green, and blue. I have blue on order, but could someone confirm and/or circle my fuel pump relay? Is it black?
I don't know how I missed it, but to the left of the fuse box, sure enough is a black Hallman MBC. This is unfortunate for me, b/c I had planned on getting an HKS filter and AP. Also, I confirmed I have BC Coilovers as the adjustment for soft/hard are right there. As for the exhaust, I did find the label "JASMA" on both tips. Could this be a custom exhaust?
Anyways, considering I have a MBC that peaks at 22psi and tapers to 17-18psi, what would be my best tuning route? The car does not consistently feel good after 5500rpms. Within the next month, I plan on taking it to the dealer for the fuel line recall. Should I ask them to look at my tune? I know my warranty is pretty much wasted. Whatever advise anyone has will be greatly appreciated, as my "plan" just went down the drain. I need a good tuner in the GA area to take care of my tune, with or without the MBC...suggestions?? TIA!!
