Hey Matty, welcome to club CJ!

[mattywired]

Nothing but manual mate

Im unfortunately going from an Evo 6 so its a bit of a downgrade for most parts. But im after a new car and this was such a good looking and cheap car. And i love my lancers

[cj_sx_2011]

i agree to, they way i see it is, if your buying a new get manual not auto to me auto is a waste of money, yeah would be a downgrade in power, but such nice car. and what me like lancers was the ce

welcome to the club mate

[mattywired]

Mega power downgrade loosing about 140kw!

But gaining a brand new car and a new project

[cj_sx_2011]

more then the full power of our cars lol.

new project is good. what is your mod plans, like say the first 2 mod you want to do?

[mattywired]

Not sure what mods to start on. Nothing too fancy yet because i just bought the car.

I would in the future like to do:

Cheap Mods: Blue LED interior mood lighting, Blue LED dash illumination, Blue LED controls (air con and so on) illumination

Expensive Mods: Rims + tyres, Suspension, DVD/GPS stereo + sub setup


(PS, I like blue if you cant tell)

[cj_sx_2011]

i like blue to, are you going to look into get an exhaust? catback is cheap. well depends on what type tho lol

[Fitter]

GPS stereo will set u back around $1000. honestly, cheaper option for you is a standard DVD player with Bluetooth, Ipod, USB etc and a stand alone GPS unit like a Garmin for on the windscreen. save $200-$300

[mattywired]

cj_sx: Probably going to stay away from the exhaust for a few year to have some peace and quiet. The evo has a 3" turbo back with no mufflers or resonators and its so loud! I just want some quiet driving for a while.

fitter: Yeah i was thinking that too. Not sure though. It looks alot neater and it doesnt need cords plugged in to keep charge to the GPS which tends to look messy. But cheaper is also good.


Can anyone tell me if the mod for higher airflow to the stock snorkel works (where you cut a hole in the radiator guard in front of the snorkel)
