Megan racing short shifter
cheap and works!

DC sports tcs catback
sounds good, more lowend gains

kamikaze headers
fair gains throughout powerband(if you can even call it that )

Injen CAI
little to no gains, but looks cool

Apexi SAFC2
fair gains throughout, if tuned correctly

PLX m-250 w/ gauge
does what its supposed to

Kartboy exhaust hangers
a lot stiffer, but be ready to hear your dp rattle.

Brembo slot rotors & Axxis Ultimates
great brakes (lots of brakedust though).

 

AEM CAI w/ bypass valve(prevent hydrolock) - . Good low to mid
(AEM claims dynoed 8hp). Deep throaty sound throughout powerband.

RRM Header - Fitment is perfect. Great mid to high end. Lose some low end/torque but its worth it. Little bit buzzy sound like a civic in mid to high end.

JIC Magic Bullet muffler w/ custom 2.25" piping. High end as with any wide open exhaust system. Lose some low-end/torque.

 

AEM UEGO GAUGE-TYPE CONTROLER W/ WIDEBAND - a bit pricey. does it's job though so i can't complain. controler/gauge is very nice though. super sturdy. not sure if it's worth the $$$ though

RRM CS Pulley - amazing. great bang for buck. rev's quick. improved throttle response. easy install

RRM SS Clutch Line - simple mod. little stiffer in the pedal. not much though. more accurate and consistant clutch engagement even after beating the crap out of the car. looks good and does its job. no complaints.

 

Just installed last night with Mark. I have to agree with him on this comment

 

NEX full coilovers The car handles great. I got mine for a great price.

Brembo Slotted Rotors and Axxis Ultimate Pads What a great breaking combo. The car stops much better than before.

RMR SRI This is being replaced with an Injen SRI because it does not fit under the RRM X-Bar

RRM X-Bar This has improved the handling of my car even more. Great buy

RRM Axel Back Sounds alright, no real gains. To be replace soon with a Greddy or Magnaflow catback.

GReddy Counter Weighted shift know I was not sure if I would notice any improvements, but shifts feel a little bit quicker. Can't wait for my B&M short shifter.

 

RRM non-IC T-25 Turbo Kit
Comes with everything you need.. looks awesome, performs like it should. Nearly doubles the whp of the lancer, so expect some pretty big gains. I haven't been dyno'd yet, but I should be around 200whp or so. (RRM Header, Test Pipe, Magnaflow Catback, lightened flywheel) I can hit the gas in any gear, and at about 2500 to 3000 rpms the boost and power really kicks in. The wastegate is pretty loud, but it can be recirculated back in if you don't like it. Made my 03 Lancer OZ Rally 5-speed quite a bit faster than my brother's 04 Ralliart 5-speed. In first gear if you floor it, there's just wheelspin after 3k rpm's if you don't know how to control it. You can really rip it into 2nd and launch the car forward... same with 3rd. (keep in mind I have stage 2 clutch though) 4th gear really pulls hard, and 5th gear is wayyyy better than without a turbo. 5th gear you can max out top speed no problem all the way to redline.

 

ebay CAI - very nice throaty sound. best 25$ i have spent

custom catback - buddy gave me titanium muffler. had a local shop bend me a catback and put it all together. costed 90$ for the install. sounds great not annoying buzz or crackle. only crackle i get is on hard downshifts.

18x7.5 Maxxim Ahead wheels with 225/40/18 BFG g-force sports - too big for the car. need to sell them and get 17's. other than that, tires hook up very nicely especially after a smokey burnout

saving for the RRM IC turbo kit for 04-06 lancer and piggyback

 

yes i will second that, just replaced mine with the same and it stops much better however, if you dont like loud brakes, then these are not the ones to get, when you apply the brakes with a reasonable touch, they will have a fairly loud humming sound (from the slots).

 

It goes away after a while, or I have got use to the hum. I kinda like the sound.

 

Anyone else like to share?

 

RRM "Big Red' Bored Fuel Rail - super easy to install, great price. noticed a little bit of throttle response. there's just that extra bit of fuel there when you need to romp on the pedal.

RRM Rear Motor Mount - a B*TCH to install!!! my knuckles are still aching. nice results once it is in though. there is a bit more vibration in the cabin but it is well worth it. no more wheel hop.....period.

DIY Front Motor Mount - Simple, easy to do, used some Windo-Weld. very cheap. unfortunatly i had to repack the front mount a second time. was a little time consuming to bake the mount and let it sit before reinstalling it. if you plan on crafting your own i would recommend getting a second set and doing the job outside the car to achieve a full cure.

 

OK i know everyone is interested in buying performance parts for their Lancer
and the question always appears. will it work? is it going to be too loud?
is it worth it? can i get a better one? well here in this post im going to go over all my mods in detail so u can know so people can make thier mind... i know everyone says it depends on the mods well now u know these mods...
