r3alest · Jul 30, 2007, 07:09 PM

so here is my oz. haven't done much from the last time i posted except tint the tails. let me know what you think i might need.

evo8 wing coming this weekend, i hope it looks good with my car

Need some more pics. I like the car how it is. evo wing will probably look good but how it sits looks awsome. a drop would help though.

very clean, IMHO an evo wing will actuall be a downgrade for this ride.

I would have to agree.

Tint is something on my to do list and should be on your as well. would look great.

yeah i was thinking about dropping it but im hearing so many things and dont know exactly what to do.

first off i heard gettin springs like the tien stechs or whatever would really mess up my stock shocks, and that really turned off my decision to buy them.

then i hear that it wont?

also my friend is selling some coil overs but he said the ride wouldnt feel as nice.

clueless when it comes to a drop, any1 wanna help me out? haha

i have tein s techs right now and my shocks are fine
ride is stiffer, more bumpy, u'll feel almost every bump on the road,BUT, because it's stiffer, the car feels more solid, espeically when turning
i say drop it, it'd look much better

springs will blow shocks, regardless of how you drive, it will happen EVENTUALLY. for a cheap set of coilovers, get the megan racing ones. i've ridden in a 240 and a civic both with the megas street setups, the civic at 19 dampening rate front and back and the 240 at i think 15 and 16, and both felt better than my car with springs. so, i would say the ride on the megans at medium dampening feels better than my OZ with progress springs. of course, there may be a difference since i haven't ridden in a lancer equipped with these coilovers, but i hear nothing but very good things about the megans.

nice ride i also have tint and a drop on my agenda. Almost every lancer owner has an evo wing so idk i`m not getting one i thought about it but now i just feel like my oz is sufficient enough

how did you go about tinting the tailights? ive heard of a few ways of doing it but i like how yours look

black03oz · Jul 31, 2007, 07:04 AM

I agree that it looks very clean as is. If you are going to drop it (and I would), just hold off and do some quality coilovers (Tein Basics, etc).

Side note - are those Konig Feathers I see? If so, what size? I ask because I'm running 16" Feathers now and love them!

The tails look great btw.

r3alest · Jul 31, 2007, 07:36 AM

thanx for the comments guys, i guess im gonna save up for a good coil set up.

as for the tail lights, i use nightshades for them. i used 4 coats of it and one coat of the glossy clear coat to give it that shine.

the rims are Motegi Rt5's They are 17's.

turbo if in your budget. but everything looks good

bluebyu36 · Jul 31, 2007, 09:49 AM

please do not put that wing on,the wing u have on now looks a million times better...

Green_Bandit · Jul 31, 2007, 11:31 PM

The tails are hot! How did you tint them?

Grill needs painting, the spoiler stays a wing should be out of the question. This is looking real clean. Maybe a small drop but be carefull when you drive and dont blow out the front bumper.
