Newest update to the interior of my car - But it's still stock :)

I couldn't even fit all the pieces into the picture.

wtf is all that :confused:
 
Looks like a ground effects kits or body molding thats the same color as the car.

In the last pic you can see where I'm going to put my gauges when I get them. A/F Ratio, Water Temp, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, and probably some kind of AFC as well.

You can also see where I didn't do a very good job on painting the vents ;)
 
well i recently got a lancer es, 04 model and I got a turbo/intercooler set coming it. I'm also gonna get dampers so the car can handle better. I already have a magnaflow catback and a SRI, no CAI for me, rains abit here but hey, a intercooler and turbo should be fun. I also got new cams and new headers and I got a intake manifold in the corner of my room that's ready to be installed ;)

If you install a header your turbo is going to be the part sitting in the corner of your room :p

Unless by header you mean turbo manifold.
 
I have a not so common modified ride...

Im pretty sure theres a link in my signature.
 
I'm the driver. What other mods do you you need?

How would you put cams in an engine that only has one cam?

How would you put headers on a straight four-cylinder engine?

Why would you put a header on a car if you were only going to have to take it back off again when your alleged "turbo kit" got there?

Why would you buy an intake manifold for a car if you were only going to have to take it back off again when your alleged "turbo kit" got there?

Nobody is impressed by what you say you have if you so clearly don't know what you're talking about when you say it.
 
It's useless calling them out.

The only thing you can do, is sit back and laugh. By the way, anyone have cams for a sohc 2.2 Dodge motor?

I think someone's been studying tuning options in a game too much.

Good look with those cams. :lol:

EDIT: D*mn, beat to the punch by Duke.
 
Short Ram Intake.

It makes a wonderful 2hp over stock because while it may have a large cone style filter which is able to breathe more, it sucks in hot air. It makes a very pretty noise though.
 
I drive an 02 Mazda Protege with:
- Tein S-Tech lowering springs (2" drop)
- Motegi LC5 17x7" wheels (bronze finish) with 205/40/17 Kumho Ecsta MX tires
- 50% tint all around
- Aluminum LED 'Protege' door sills
- Clear front LED signals and red LED signals on the back (original is orange on both)
- Reverse Cowl Vented Carbon Fibre hood is on the way
- 8000K HIDs are on the way
- Buddy Club 2 4pc. body kit coming next spring
- Custom GT30R turbo coming later this year
- Full custom paint job next summer

Lots of potential in this car, and lots of plans :)

Ahh, can't deal with thes acronyms! Thanks.

The short-ram/short-runner intake not only only gives you just 2 hp on top, it also kills the low-end. Say goobye to response when trying to pass on the highway!

Hiya! :D :O :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

Please give us an update with those future mods so we can see! :O 👍
 
'02 WRX, haven't done much to it.

-Springs
-17" Rotas with 235/45 FM901s
-Steel brake lines
-Rear STB
-Hawk HPS pads
-Blitz FATT DC
-Greddy shift knob

As I said, not exactly a race car. Suspension's gonna come soon, as my shocks are pretty bad after 60k miles, debating between KYB AGX Adjustible struts or full replacement K-Sport coilovers. At some point will come an uppipe, downpipe, an HKS Hi-Power catback, and a Cobb AccessPort, which will push me up to 280HP or so, 230 at the wheels.

I would really like to see this aswell as the many new parts required to make this work and I would like the specs on the turbo and housings.

Nice van! 👍 Any other pics of that woodrimmed steering wheel?
Thanks, and no, on the last page you can see the current steering wheel, the wood one I got rid of because the wood wasnt in all that great shape and the black paint on the wheel was chipping off and rusting. Contrary to popular trends in custom van interiors, Im actually trying to make it look like there is no wood on the inside (although I will have to inevitably use it, I will just cover it up)
 
"Road///Race Lancer Header

02-05

Our header is designed for maximum performance and beautifully ceramic coated. Road/Race designed and built this header right here in the U.S.A! This is the best header on the market for the Lancer. It is also compatible with our turbo kits! Tuned to maximize midrange and top-end horsepower! This is a direct bolt on and is handsomely ceramic coated. Flanges are laser cut and header is tig welded. Not smog legal in some states, may cause "CEL." Call for details. For years 02-05"
hmm........
 
Header. Not headers. Inline engine = Header. Vee/Boxer = Headers.
