Newbie here! - Dutchmanslxcj

Postby Dutchmanslxcj » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:40 am

Hey guys!
Names marcel, 20 yrs old and I'm from Adelaide.
I don't know much about cars, however I am learning :)
Got myself a 2012 lx lancer. Color is warm grey.
I purchased it brand new 3 weeks ago.
Previously owned a ce lancer.
I have a few pictures how ever as I'm new to this forum I am clueless as how to upload them, so any help appreciated.

Car is completely stock.
Things I want to do (need to sell my ce first) include:
18 or 19" wheels, been looking at some black ones. Not sure where in Adelaide or online would be cheapest to go? I do 1600$ for wheels already so hopefully that gets me something I like.
After wheels I'll do full exhaust, headers, sound system, 5 or 18% tint, cai. Most I'll will instal myself.

I'm not sure which mods would void my warranty and insurance though? I know I should be fine with wheels and exhaust. Any input on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for reading my intro and hopefully I'll be ale to get some pictures up soon!!

Seems to have a different touch screen in it to the MMCS, but this is advertised as having 9km on it

This is what I found

For wheels you could try Wheelworx. They are on Port Road at Thebarton near the brewery

Hi Marcel, welcome to the club.

You only live around the corner from me, I live off Silk's road.

Look carefully for wheels before purchasing. You can normally find wheels and tyres cheaper online. Be careful to get the right size to avoid tyre rubbing.

If you need any help please just ask.

welcome to the club man, i saw the same model you got the lx at mitsubishi the other day, looks good inside,

with the rim side of thing, take your time with picking them, and also think if down the track you want to lower you car with springs or coilovers, you might want to take that into consideration to what size and width and how low you can go,

bout extractors and cat, have a good search on here to see what most the guys have used and gotten the most out of, and for the catback bit of the exhaust, i would say from experience get custom not off the shelf bolt on coz custom sounds better and nicer and deeper,

i can direct you to a good place to get a custom catback done, its the same place where i got mine done, if you went there with me you will get looked after, and for tint i can also direct you to the guy i got mine done we know him very well, he does a very good job and great prices and the tint film is usa grade and is top notch,

so if you want me to help you out just let me know man, soz bout the essay you got to read here lol. but only trying to help you out man. dont hesitate to send me an inbox man.
