Welcome to the forum, I haven't been a member for long and I can truly say that people here are friendly and are always willing to help out with good advice.

Wasn't close to me, but worth the drive for the good price I got. Found my lancer on carsales, bought the cheapest new one.
I got mine from Daniel Wannenberg at Heartland Mitsubishi Castle Hill. Good honest guy, he gave me straight prices and didn't try to sell me any addon crap.

[quote:a5d45b398a=chunky9]^ same as me man, the factory ones are perfect to me, classy and beautiful lol[/quote:a5d45b398a] Lucky you guys and your clear factory models. :( I have the red ones still, my cars been called an albino cos of it. Gonna change them into the newer factory ones soon like yo...

Lol you can actually feel the road!

I'd never used electric power steering before, all I have to say is there isn't a lot of feel, especially accelerating through corners.

Good to know.

I was thinking of getting a white LED strip and mount it to the bottom side of the radiator cover so it illuminates the space behind the front grille, is that legal?

If you tried you could probably connect it to the fuse and relay location in the fuse box.

Before I got my lancer, I was looking at getting blacked out lights all around but actually now owning it I find the stock ones to damn smexy, especially the tail lights.

I'm considering the ebay kit too. Damn thats a messy install in the guide, but I can work that part out myself.

I already have an ES and I'm not looking to change that any time soon, but I was wondering if the VRX has different suspension to the ES/LXs? I know it has bigger wheels and hydraulic power steering, but are the springs the same?

It could depend on where you live, but you should also be aware that you can buy a brand new ES for <15k now (mine was 16k with reversing sensors+camera 2 weeks ago), http://www.carsales.com.au/car/bncis/demo/MITSUBISHI/LANCER?sort=~Price&silo=Stock&base=1216&eapi=2&vertical=Car&...

Who can be reccomended the most. Who is this 'Mr Cool' guy?

My uncle knows a guy who can do it for me for $170 no warranty or gauruntees. I'd rather pay a bit more and get some kind of a warranty so I can come back in a few weeks if it doesn't settle right. What would I be looking to pay?

Thanks guys and gals. This seems like a good active forum.

I'm in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
