OLD member with a new ride

**jake26** · 02-03-2009, 10:23 PM

Hello TGC, i havent been here in a good minute, but i just wanted to share my progress report with you on my 2008 Lancer GTS. Yes i know its no galant, but i used to be a owner of a 7g 5sp, with JDM conversion. IT WAS SICK!!!!

Well here are some pictures for you.
The day that i got her with 0 miles on dash, Rallired

first mod painted the engine cover and RRM SRI

Got the first available ever! CF hood made especially for me from bodykits.com which is now mass produced.

Then got my exhaust redone with CF megan racing muffler

got tired of rrm sri and bought a injen CAI

added the window wind splitters, painted my wheels gun metal, and applied vinyl on the front

Then bought the RRM engine cover and spark plug cover and fuse box cover in CF

Next went with RRM headers for 4b11 engine ( look at all that space for turbo)

then went with stoptech slotted rotors front and back

I was in the readers ride's section ( some fame)

audio

Then i worked on my suspension ( megan racing coilovers 32 levels of adjustment)

I got tired of the other carbon fiber hood and had this one made, AGAIN i was the first one to have it on a 08 lancer. ( 2g eclipse you see is also mine, but i have sent it to my brother in ireland, which has a super 16g, 10psi)

JOINED NOKTURNAL CC

also got cf mirror covers

CF HAVAC panel

Did my own CF work on the panels, came out awesome

Then bought the Lancer Ralliart Tailights, found only in 2009 lancer ralliart ( evo x and lancer gts came with pinkish housing. These look much better.)

Installed a VG

Had to take some snow pics!

On may 2007 me and jason aka prophet started www.lancertuners.com

Carshows

turbo setup by rrm

(The all new 2008 Lancer 4b11 manual transmission and CVT turbo kit development is complete. It is for the manual transmission and CVT and produces 50%+ hp over the stock 2.0l 4b11 engine. The kit includes all the necessary parts to turbo your lancer, fuel management, 16g turbo charger, front mount intercooler, and all the piping. The piping comes powdercoated gloss black and the manifold is ceramic coated so that it wont rust or corrode. This is a complete kit just install and go, not other parts needed. THIS KIT IS ONLY FOR THE 2.OL 4B11 ENGINE, IT WILL FIT PZEV AND FED CARS.)

**Serstylz2** · 02-03-2009, 10:29 PM

damn moving fast!

**jake26** · 02-03-2009, 10:31 PM

well mitsubishi claims 152HP to the crank. I got 149Hp an 171lbs/trq So all the mods helped, ( headers, exhaust, etc)

My first dyno was measly 127HP completly stock so i went up 22 in true hp

if i go turbo i am looking around 200Hp

**kolio** · 02-04-2009, 12:32 AM

lancer looks good

**glantv699** · 02-04-2009, 12:37 AM

Good stuff Jake, I remember when you moved on but it's nice to see you pop in and show us your progress, I hope to do the same with my next car...

**trickytrick** · 02-04-2009, 12:39 AM

looks good. gotta see the numbers the turbo is gonna bring

**wright06jhs** · 02-04-2009, 12:40 AM

I love your Lancer, good work on it

**4-G-rim** · 02-04-2009, 08:23 AM

Looks good Jake...still prefer your white 7g.

Like what Seth suggested..you just need some wheels to compliment the car. Everything else looks good though, maybe a different front lip maybe? The Lancer Ralliart tails look very nice...too bad they didn't decide to put them on the Evo X instead.

Keep up the good work.
