Hi there folks, names Adrian and I drive a "Rally Red" Lancer VRX. Also a member on MLGA and ProjectLancer.net (SIR-VRX) and MCA (cyruschrono)

I live in Brisbane Australia and its a great place to live. :)

Mods to the Lancer so far:

OEM "Lancer" Carpet Mats
OEM "Lancer" Scuff plates
OEM Auxiliary Audio In Cable
Red Undercar LEDs
Narva Arctic Blue High/Low beams
Pioneer TS-C1625 Splits in OEM front locations and also in rear OEM door location
Pioneer 12" Sub in custom box made by me for the Lancer's boot
Custom iPod dock in ashtray location
Coustic amp
Garage door remote integration
K&N Panel Filter
JDM Galant Fortis rear emblem/badge

Soon to come:
Calipers painted red
JDM Projector Headlights with HIDs
Exhaust
much, much more...

I've clocked over 18,000kms already and no problems so far (touch wood)

Enjoy the pics (just a small selection but they are pretty old now though)
Last pic also includes my old Mirage when it was getting traded in!

And since i have the smart key, the only thing that i had to take out my keys for was to press the garage door button on the keyring. So, i got a switch to fit in the dash next to the one already there and wired it up into my garage door remote!! It sounds stupid, but its heaps cool!! LOL only thing is i need to make the light inside it red since the switch came from a Mitsubishi 380 and they illuminate their switches blue and the Lancer's is red. I have to solder a new LED in.

iPod Dock:Well, I have an iPod Touch and the auxilliary input into my stereo and I needed somewhere to mount my iPod neatly. I previously had an old 40gb iPod that actually came with a dock, so I decided that I would use that to mount my new iPod. It is where the ashtray goes in the CJ, and I don't smoke so I have no need for the ashtray. I basically took out the whole ashtray assembly from below and replaced it with a piece of plywood I painted black. Then I glued the old iPod dock to the plywood so it didn't move. I ran the aux in cable to the dock and I also put a cigarette socket behind it and plugged a charger in so it charges the iPod too.

As you can see, it places the iPod in the perfect position to change tracks on the go, and it looks neat as. I'm very proud of it. (the iPod is nowhere near as bright as it comes up in those photos so its not shining in the eyes either
