I just bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer ES yesterday.. for $11k including tax and fees and it had 27k miles on it.. so now just want opinions on what I should do with my car.. i want to hook it up a little bit.. I was thinking of maybe fog lights and maybe a spoiler.. adding some tint and maybe getting an intake/exhaust system?

Congrats on your new purchase. Well about what you want to do. It all depends on what direction you want to go. I don't think you should go for an exhaust or intake since I doubt Lancer engines have much potential for power. Go get window tint, and if you want a little custom touch to your lights, go ahead and get driving or fog lights.

Any pictures?

Just get some wheels and lower the car.

on a side note.. Jun and Marvin... remember the story you guys told me at the meet about the arabian guy turbocharging his lancer?

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

Honestly? I wouldn't do anything to it.
Maybe some window tint and a sound system, but that's it.

Why would you want to do anything to a fine car. I mean, unless you feel like going the whole nine yards, keep it stock till something breaks.

dude shut up ...

youre just jealous

evo is the best thing and she have the right to make her car looks like evo or some ralliart wannabe machine

anyway check out taiwan magazine called "OPTION" i saw some lancer converted to evo there

the front looks 100% same but the rear site is only about 90% which is the fuel hole part

a fine car meaning a perfectly running car. i agree with manlyman1337 on this one... there is no need to spend tons of money in aftermarket parts with minimal amounts of power in return. if one wanted to go through the modification route, one must research a good foundation to work on... and the lancer is not one. it's a good car to roll everyday, that's about it.

an intake wouldn't hurt since it is the cheapest which will yield some power... but everything else, i wouldn't.

everyone has their own opinions and tastes. i agree with KeN VeRsUs RyU to leave the lancer as is. i personally think very very very very very very very few cars can pull off the "wannabe machine". (i dunno what they're called, so i'll quote it o_O). besides, with the money spent converting a lancer to an evo, might as well buy the evo instead.

unless there's a taiwanese version of option, i believe the option magazine is japanese.
