If you had 5k to spend on your lancer....

a car show in Canada..in October! hope you have snow tires :wink:

 

with that money, id make my dream come true to this


credits to egret85
i got this photochopped, but he did the photography & photoshop of his car

minus the exhaust and change it into greddy ti-c

 

First would be a decent exhaust, next headers. Cold air intake, not in that order CAI and exhaust first. headers second. Megan Coilovers, decent tint. The projection lamp assembly. And god willing get a new paint job with like 25 clear coats lol. New sound and new low profile tires. Carbon fiber hood, and any suspension improvements.

 

drive all the way to RRM and then talk to brian and consult him

 

i may be realist but i would just put the 5k down on the car to have less payment on it

if the car was already paid for, id find a way to make it AWD

 

I'd buy one...lol

 

If I had 5k...
Well since I don't have them I won't even bother to think about it. :x
On a second thought Wheels, tires, coilovers would definitely be on the top of my list.

 

I'm getting ready to drop $8k into mine. So your figures to be right there with mine. I'll let you guess what I am doing.

Lets just say that I will have some goodies for sell on here in about 2 months. coughpiggycoughheader

 

Yea i would use the money to pay the car off 8)

 

id check off everything on my list below \/ , then probobly leather and headers.

 

And with the left overs? That aint 5k worth of stuff? Why paint get new wheels!

 

Definitely Turbo, headers and the package!

 

hehe... turbo and header won't do you much good

 

5k is not a big amount of money to spend.

I'll go with the following. (Hopefully next Year)

- 19x8 5-ZIGEN Hyper 5zr 2pc Black Gloss - $800
- 235/35/19 Nankang NS II - $608
- Magnaflow Catback exhaust - $530
- RRM Lancer Suspension Package - $456
- Progress Rear sway bar - $179
- Megan Coilovers - $870
- Sparco Pedal kit - $90
- TWM Short Shifter and Base Bushings - $170
- Rallyarmor Mudflaps - $130
- Brembo Brakes/ Brake upgrades - $1000
- Detail my car in and out - $167

If I got extra 5k and more, I'll buy RRM Turbo kit and let RRM install it and maybe tune it.

 

id pay down my loan.......

 

but assuming i had the car paid off.......
im a mechanic so i would take a large chunk and rent a car for a month or so to take the engine out and put lower compression pistons, reinforced crank, main bearings, cylinder sleeves, B & B, P & P, valves, seats, springs, and cams to prep it for a high compression turbo

 

coilovers, wheels, rrm grille, I/H/E. That's it. It's an auto. lol

 

i wish i would have spent 15k more and just got an Evo X...

 

I'd upgrade a bunch of the internals, and look at wheels and tires. While i would love a sleeper, i would probably stick to more cosmetic upgrades like a cf evo wing from seibon, and maybe a front splitter/rear diffuser. And projectors.

 

If I had to spend it on my lancer... custom projectors, wheels & tires, coilovers, full front lip with GTS sideskirts, all lights over to LED
