What did you do on your car today?

[GOITZ]

Hahahaha thanks Martin I just wish I found the idiot!!
Step 4 is classic lol hopefully the daughter is good looking :p

Yea I don't particularly like that front lip..I also suggest something simple like the 'c' lip. I like to keep things simple but different.

Your Car is looking good

Well not specifically today,

But I found my last ClubCJ sticker in my room. So i put that on.
I put some fender vents, but they weren't sticky at the top,
so i sent them back to the seller and hes sending me his last pair of fender vents.

and Tonight, I replaced the gear knob.

It's always fun installing new gear on your car even the small things

My tail lights are the only major mod i've done so far. Doing rims and headlights next

All in time, I'm just weighing up between options.

@mark: - won't suit mine - I don't have the depth on the 'podlets' on my front bar - they are only about 1/3 the depth of a VRX (and I don't want to put the VRX pods on mine anyway - I don't want it to look like something it isn't - hence no carbon-fibre vinyl anywhere).

@mark & stacey: - a bottle of water in a cooler sleeve...

@Ilija: - I get very upset if anything happens to my car... even more so if I find the b@st@rd that did it!!! And thanks for the feedback - it's appreciated; I see so many really well-presented, nicely modded cars on here, I want to do something myself.

Yeah, but look at your car Tomo - there's not much needs doing to it...


...maybe a couple of My Family stickers on the rear windscreen?

@john: - lol!

It's Custom too mate - got rid of the stock cooler in the first week!!





Hey MeatyStix - there's a guy I see occasionally on the Pac. Mwy heading down to the GC who has his entire window covered - dad's shooting up, mum's being sp!t-roasted, the kids are... well, I can't really say, but you get the idea!

Saturday morning - not even 10:00 and the car's already had a good wash and I put on the new car cover...

...am I babying this car too much???

Saturday afternoon and the weather's cr@ppy (my fault for washing the car this morning), so I thought I'd tally-up everything I've spent so far on the car...

(bear in mind I picked up my new ES on 31/12/13, so I've had it less than a month)



And the grand total is:

da-dada-da da-da-da daaaaa!


five thousand and ten dollars!!!




Yeah, I know... staggering!


The good news is that I've clawed back $2390 by selling the bits I replaced and I've got roughly another $700 to get back on the remainder (go onto GumTree folks and help me out!!!).


Mind you, for what will eventually work out as around two grand I'll have added:

VRX wing (OEM)
side skirts
rear diffuser
outlander 18" VRX wheels & brand-new (but not great) tyres
LX head unit (new - cost me a case of xxxx)
tweeters
factory mats, headlight protectors & seat covers
reversing sensors (third-party)
window tint
vinyl wrap on the roof, bonnet and front bar


Now, tell me who's this month's buy-swap-and-sell king!!!

^Good Work man !!!

[Zaphod]

Thanks Mark!

It's easy to get carried away with these Lancers - I've had the same discussion a couple of times this week: "it's like being eighteen again, with your first car; looking at everything you can do with it..."

Diffuser should arrive late next week, so once that's fitted it'll be a mild exhaust mod...

After a month of waiting on parts to arrive, I finally installed my new head unit.
