Good brand choice Ofey.

I wasn't aware that Mitsubishi was sourcing their lock nuts from MCGard.
McGard his one the very best Wheel Nuts brands in America.
Their design criteria and salt spray test (corrosive resistance) surpass most other brands by far.
Unfortunately there is no importer or supplier in Australia.

However they can be purchased online from The Lug Shack

I purchased mine 2 years ago from them and was very pleased with the service.
Although the $AU was not as strong as it is currently, so purchasing now makes them a very worthwhile.

Check out the site for a full range and colors available for our Mitsu Lancers.

Well yesterday arvo i did the wheel alignment on the evo.
Steers much much nicer now (front and rear toe was all over the place) plus the addition of the roll centre kit seems to have done some good as well..... judging by the spirited trip home thru the adelaide hills.

Now to get around to fitting that bigger rear sway bar....

I fitted my rear brakes back together after getting the discs machined with curved slots to match the front.

Today I started all the wiring for the interior lights. I wired the dome light in to my map lights.I made up a wiring loom and ran it from the drivers side seat to the passenger seat, to the fuse box,then continued to under passengers dash, to drivers side dash, though the fire wall to the front grill.

I also wired my headrest power to the wiring loom for the cigarette lighter. I also ran a wire from here to the front of the car. It runs next to the interior light wiring loom. I will use this wire to light up my DRL's which will be around the fog lights. This means my DRL's will be on with my ignition.

I also wired a Blue LED in the boot.

I will post pictures when it is all finished and dark.

This will be a week or two.

Fitted a K&N panel filter yesterday. Washed it (the car, not the filter) this afternoon.

Lots of loopy pipes back there but I may well have seen a bigger hair dryer... admittedly it was on a V8.
