I'm acutally about an hour west of St. Louis, so we really aren't all that far apart. Thanks for the link too, I'll check it out.

Oh, and how come one set of rims on your car have 5 lugs, while the other has only 4?

 

oh those are my cheap hubcaps lol my car really only has 4 lugs but the hubcaps cover them up.

 

Not bad for being 16. What are your plans for it?

 

rims, strut bar, header and then i am probably done...ill start saving for a 1g DSM turbo project car for senior year and keep this as my daily.

 

go w/ the basics, suspension: tein basics or eibach pro kits, wheels: rota slimstream, muteki lug nuts, exterior: carbon fiber grille, EVO7 style taillights, etc.

 

lol thats prolly more then the car is worth...i ordered my 16 inch icw kobe rims with tires for 675 bucks a couple days ago...ill post pics when i get them on tuesday and i would love to lower the car but it cost more then the rims.

 

if money is too short, go with just springs

if you plan to spend more money, coilovers

tein s-tech costs between 200~250

 

Are springs bad for the suspension? You don't want to be cheap and get springs, only to shell out more money down the road when the rest of the suspension gives out.

 

yes, they are bad.
nice lancer, don't spend too much on her & drive safe

 

time for some new wheels!

 

not bad my sister has the same one lol..... i got a yellow oz rally and i got it when i was 16 too and also worked ever since to pay for stuff and bills i just turned 17 too....... i like modding my lancer too but i try not to spend too much money on it.... i spend more time then money because i like to do the diy stuff to it lol.... thunder gray is a nice color for these lancers.. you can make it look nice just dont do stupid stuff to like like wack body kits and spoilers... keep it clean

 

Get a rear swaybar. nice car.

 

got my oz when i was 16. loved it since thunder grey too.

one wor dof advice

NO HUGE SPOILERS.
your not driving a civic your driving a lancer make us look good :P

my 2 cents haha im in iowa about an hour south of des moines we should meet up at some point any good car shows down there?

 

I'm anxious to see those new rims.

Too bad you couldn't get the hood or the grill, I think it would have made the car look much better. Oh well, lol.

 

spolier? what lol i am far from a ricer...i own missouri's leading mitsubishi enthusiast forum...i may be young but you dont have to worry about me ricing out my lancer
