The results were not to bad. Here is an up close of the rim.....and yes....that is gold glitter in the clear coat. (The perks of being a poor car enthusiast)

Nice how come you chose a mitsu over a Subaru even you made a good choice on such an amazing car

I swapped because I got tired of driving the subaru.
It was under powered and I thought I needed a change of car when moving onto university.
Although I left the subie , one day I will buy another one because I that just love that engine purrrrrrrr.

Welcome to CCJ :)

What made you change from the Subie? The wheels look really good by the way! Enjoy your time here, you'll find plenty of DIY mods and all that jazz around!

Thanks mate. I really enjoyed painting the wheels and i didn't expect them to turn out so good from an amateur painter.

Like i said to Mitch, i just got tired of the subie :P.


Does anyone know any members around the Boondall area in Queensland?
Who should i keep and eye out for?

Hey everyone,

I've recently installed audio equipment into the lancer and it turn out really well.
Here are some pics.

Wiring in the engine bay. Tried to hide it as much as possible. (red line)

Image
Sub and amp mounted in the boot. Amp mounted onto on the sub.

Image
great fitting fascia and head unit.

By tweaking the settings a bit the sound from the system is GREAT!!
The best thing about this build is that I've only spent $50. :D
