Thats an easy fix, some 18" rims with 215/45 or 225/40 rubber, total cost from about $1.5k :)

Yes but on the same hand its annoying when you're trying to work out what is behind you and the spoiler cuts right across the grill and headlights.

I'm gonna have to take mine off to redo the yellow cutouts so I'll experience a few days or week without it soon, should I tape up the holes or get some fancy alloy bolts to fill the holes?

1. no spoiler, I have the duckbill installed from the factor.
2. no rear diffuser, i have a custom exhaust which is set up in a different location which makes finding a rear diffuser is a challenge.
3. no front air dams
4. CVT, i wish i got a manual.....
5. . no touch screen, very boring and simple interior.
6. in the front, if you go too close the front bumper, you will see black holes or some scratches from the prev owner, i will try to remove them.......
7. so many things to buy.. for example, the GTS/GT comes with half of the stuff that I'm trying to spend hundreds of dollars :(

I've got a 2008 Lancer VR. I think the pickup of this car is so laggy very slowish. However sometimes its better at times. So i really dunno if its an issue with my car.
Overall i still feel they could have made these Lancers a bit faster

The stock ecu tune is pure garbage and has been deliberately detuned from the factory. It.woukd have been so easy for Mitsubishi to sell an upgrade kit with a RA snorkel and an ECU tune. Add a 4g69 throttle body to it and it will have a decent kick .
Put a decent set of extractor and mandrel bent exhaust on it to help let it breathe and replace the catalytic converter.
And if it's a 4b11 , drop in a 4b12 inlet cam and sprocket and ecu retune and you have even more power.
It can be fixed.

But yes I agree, my 4B12 VRX is so sluggish low down, get caught in 2nd at slow speeds and you wonder where the power had gone, but it is nice as the RPM rise and the VVT comes on, get to 5500rpm and its time to look for the next gear!

Yup
Crapola MIVEC tune and the rest all locked up in the ECU to give suxh horrible results
When you see a stock rom it makes you wonder if anyone even drove the car before it was released
