So, it's Tuesday, how do you like your new car?

I could for sure and it's not like we haven't got the rolling country roads to traverse! Ha ha I reckon, a day trip to one of the national parks or beaches for a picnic would be awesome, but I'm open to other ideas as well! I've never done this before, but I'm willing to coordinate just to get the b...

Wanna go for a ride?

Awesome review mate, I just bought the Activ Sedan (Picking it up monday) and reading this made me love my decision even more. I didnt opt for the Foglights but it will be the first aftermarket thing I do to the car. Well that and new rims, not a huge fan of the stock ones. (A few less spokes maybe...

Might be early days still but I just wanted to share my thoughts on my new car. My 2012 Activ Sportback costs than the ES model of the same year, $21,888 drive away vs $24,973 drive away (according to the website, but I believe that it might be cheaper on promotion). I was not offered the Convenienc...

I found a set that will fit from the US: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-2013-MITSUBISHI-LANCER-SPORTBACK-FOGLIGHT-FOG-LIGHTS-DRIVING-MZ380603EX-/370609200279?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564a079c97&vxp=mtr It's about $350 plus shipping, so that's about half the price if I'm w...

There we go. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8y9I6FNe-6bU0ppNF9hblFvZmM Please note that these instructions are for MY08-11 ES-VRX Im sure that the job for RAs and MY12 Activs & VRXs would be similar. The only thing that this guide is missing is how to remove the front bumper but you can find...

Smart! If you're ever in Darwin, you can help me with mine... I'll start looking for parts. Heh. :p

Well if you have a 2012 Activ, then you would have the same bumper as the VRX/Ralliart, hence why they say you need those fog lights and why the cheap ones off eBay wont fit.... To clarify: I got the official quote today for $665 for the fog lamps installed. Too much, I reckon, even for Ralliart. A...

It's just hard to justify for lights I'll end up using only a month out of a year (at the most!). Still, I can definitely live without them, but they would be nice to have... And they look so pretty.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but it is the Fog Lamps thread in the Lighting forum. Is $665 for Fog Lamps installed by the dealer abit too much? Because it seems abit too steep, IMHO, but I understand that it's not just a simple install, there is programming of the ECU and my stalk needs to be changed...

sleeper wrote:$500 isnt bad for 2 fogs, i paid over 400 for 1 oem replacement

Ouch. So you reckon $500+ for install plus parts is reasonable? Because now that you mention it, I'll reconsider...

However Ive had the dealership hint that I should use their Mitsubishi ones in case of warranty issues. The price difference between original and Ryco is only a couple of dollars.... Theyre pretty much all the same - but Mitsu dealership was being pedantic, well my one was. Thanks Pete! Just what I...

Ok, sorry to bump this old thread up, and for the noob question, but how do I know how much oil my car engine needs, and what brand of oil filter is reasonable to use? If its all in the manual, then, never mind, I'll look for the info when I pick up my car... In the meantime, I googled this but didn...

I've been reading up on strut bars and will probably get one for the front tower and an adjustable one for the rear, thanks for all the input and opinions all. I'm probably picking up my Activ Sportback next week or so, and I reckon I'll drive that around for awhile to help me make up my mind. I'm n...
