Just picked up a 2008 Lancer VRX Sedan in Perth, WA as a daily driver and thought I'd say hello.
It's a 5 speed manual, only modification was the previous owner had a base model spoilerless boot installed, and removed the rear badges. Spoiler is sitting in the shed but I'm planning on leaving it off. Has the Rockford Fosgate audio system, sunroof, cloth interior, etc. etc.
Signed up a couple years ago to get some info for a CE Lancer MR demo derby car I was putting together with some friends - don't worry though, the CJ is safe!
Have a couple plans for the Lancer, mostly cosmetic. I'm from a Subaru Background and have a 1998 Impreza that I've WRX STI converted and then some for my performance kicks, so I know how quickly things get out of hand when you're modifying a car with a factory turbo version available... but anyway, those plans are;
- Factory lip spoiler
- Rear window visor
- Black background tail-lights (Tossing up between OEM or the LED OEM style, not a lot else out there that isn't smoked...)
- Some sort of rear lip or the Ralliart rear bumper
- New head unit (mine is non-MMCS type so no USB input and not being able to change songs with Aux isn't good enough)
- Sort out passenger side speaker crackle
- New OEM floor mats
- New gearshifter knob (current is worn)
- Black out the chrome rings around the headlights and paint the side reflector (Did this on another Lancer and it worked out pretty well!)
- Replace the missing bonnet rod clip
- Eventually go a CF bumper with DRL's and fogs, and paint the chrome bits black
