Hey All,

My name is Mike, and whilst I don't have a CJ Lancer, I am a fan. Feel free to lend me your EVOs (anyone?).

Current car is a MY14 Toyota 86 GTS in Velocity Orange.

Mods are limited while I run out the warranty, but consist of front & rear Cusco braces, with master cylinder stopper on front. TRD door stabilisers and for a bit of rice; TRD sound tube.

Future mods. I have a set of DBA Clubspec T3 slotteds to go on before the next trackday, along with some braided lines and A1RM QFM pads. They are sitting in the garage waiting for me to get motivated.

Beyond that I am also keen on replacing the wheels with something a little wider than the standard 215s.

How did I find out about Club CJ? from the wonderful promotion and hospitality of some of the SA members, who have been great fun to meet up with over a couple of great cruise meets.

Outside of cars, I work as a technical manager for a major global insurance company, currently on the motor side, so if you guys need any assistance with an insurance related subject let me know.

Other than that, I am a bit of a home theatre buff, so if you have any HT related questions or chit chat, I am the man for that too!

5x100 +45
I would prefer 5x114.3 but not worth $1000+ to change the hubs.

Supercharger would be amazing but between the $5000 for the kit and EcuTek, $2500 for exhaust, plus the cost of settlement when Danni divorces me, might not be a great idea.
Lol

I need to find out who Ryans contact is for those XD9s - they were fab!

Ah yep they are not the same size as the lancers :( I love the rims you have.

Lol yeah good luck with getting Danni to agree to spending all that money :) just tell her it "needs repairs" but please don't tell her I said that or she'll kill me next time I go to get my nails done :(

Ryan's user name n here is RyanMK. Send him a pm.

Also some of the group buys we do here are in with the brz/86 club.

Look up Jessie streeter (I think) (on Facebook) he is a guy who imports wheel etc from jap land, pretty sure that is where Ryan sourced them
The xd9's are no longer in production though from memory

Jesse Streeter it is! Jesse usually uses sea freight for rims to save cost. Takes on average about 6 weeks. Here's his website.

If you're impatient and would prefer to have it quick, from my research the last time, Perfect Run's pricing is quite competitive.
