    As far as I know just put them on photobucket and copy the BBCode. That or if their on a link by themselves just click the Img button and put the URL between. Simple really :)

    i havent done the side skirts yet, as i lost the key to my lugs, and need to take the rims off. I got to go to Mitsubishi n buy a new set. $47.50 for a set of 16 lugs and a key, and check it, $30 for JUST the key, its ridiculous

    How quick do you find your car now that you changed out the whole exhaust system? I've got an 03 ES, and was looking at getting the obx header/ hf cat and wondering how much louder and quicker it is. And welcome to LT. And no aftermarket intake yet? That's the first thing I did. I think....I can't remember the first thing I did to my car. Lol.

    it made a decent change, it breathes better acceleration is a little quicker with the bigger pipping and sounds louder than stock, a lot!,. If im not mistaken the stock Oz ran a 9.6 second 0-60. Im running just under 7 seconds, not too bad. But imma tell you this, Mitsubish pretty much maxxed our 4g94 engines, so no matter how many bolt ons you put on it, your not going to see any significant change, unless you get forged pistons and slap a 16g turbo on it, i highly doubt youlls see a 200+whp lancer ES LS or OZ thats N/A. I wanted to turn this Oz into something close to the Evo, but unless you got big pockets, theres not much you can do to gain a lot of HP at the wheel. i read on another lancer forum this dude had a 03 OZ and he dynoed @ 89whp, thats when i found the not so potental for this car when running N/A. Dont get me wrong I love my OZ and its a good car somewhat quick, but if you plan on runnin with the ralliarts or evos be prepared to spend a lot of money,

    P.S. untill i see the dyno of my vehicle, my mind is somewhat open on the potential for this car. that dude may have had some shit wrong with his car i dont know, but thats what i read, and a lot of people agreed.

    also, i havent found a CAI for the automatic, other than for the Ralliart, unless i CAN use the ralliart, imma have to settle for a short ram. Basically im still undecided on whitch to get, theres pros and cons to both, any help would be appreciated

    I've got the cat-back already, and from that I noticed quite a big difference than stock. I have a short ram, and am waiting on my new sri form k+n to come in, hopefully tomorrow. I couldn't find a cai for an auto either, and settled for an sri, which isn't bad. From what I understand, sri's give better low end power, and cai's give more high end. Being as, our cars are slow to begin with, I'll take all the low end power I can get. Especially in the 1/4. I rarely ever race on the street. I kinda got over that pretty quick. Too many of my friends have been getting speeding tickets, street racing tickets, other things. I don't think its worth it. But, in the event that I do race someone, its always going to be from a red light/stop. Which, the sri would come in handy more, and where I live, down here in Slidell, LA, there are a few places that flood. And, I'll pass on flooding my engine. Lol. I know a few people that have flooded em from cai's.

    yea, i may live in texas, but believe it or not it rains quite a bit here, and when it rains it pooors, so lot of places round the curbs flood, i usally try to stay in the left lanes to aviod the water on the streets and avoid hydroplaning, so maybe i should just get a SRi, i was thinking of getting that Weapon R Draggon SRi

    I think those only work on the Evos, but there may be one that I overlooked. I found a really good price on a K+N SRI. $194 shipped. PM me if you want the website.
