** update ** Nov. 21, 06

So I just got some new custom made seats courtesy of my friend who's company puts leather seats into cars. They are Blue Suade interior, Black leather exterior with blue stitching, blue leather shifter and center console top, and they are all heated seats now.

Total cost: $0.00

Got it as a b-day present

Congrats man. I used to have a 2000 GT. If you don't know about them already, these are some pretty good sites:

Congrats on the car.

I like the look of the Konigs. Too bad its faux carbon fibre.

What kind of coil-overs are you thinking of getting?

So I got some new stuff since i last posted in here, new springs and shocks, heavy duty clutch, short ram intake, tailights.....

Anyway, biggest mod are the new brembo brakes from the lancer Evo 8. I got them for $550 cdn for all 4 corners (no pads, no pins, no clips, no mounting bolts, just calipers, will do rears later on in the year) I had to get all the other parts separately (pins and clips were so much more expensive than i thought) Pads are Hawk HPS and discs are from Girodisc. I had to use my stock brake lines cause the evo lines kept hitting my wheel and my wheels have a 40+mm offset but I had to take out the brake disc shields to add another 1mm and I had to use a 3mm spacer so in total 44mm offset to clear the calipers.

yours is a nice car, I will be honest and say that the body style I like the most is the second gen 94-99, I have seen some like yours with body kits and they look fantastic, I suggest you do take a look at some kits, they are pretty cheap for older models, I am glad you chose this one instead of the newer incredibly girly one, I know a guy that has a GS 3rd gen and he stuffed a turbo onto his 4g64 and that thing is diabolically fast, is yours the v6? there are so many go fast parts for that car... I have even heard of superchargers for the 6

I own a VR4, I am also a fan of mitsubishi, just wished they went back to making cars without compromise... the new eclipse makes me cringe when I see it

Mine is the I4, and i am considering a small lip kit for it (not a fan of the full bodykits

and i've been going back and forth with putting an evo 3 turbo in it for months now, almost did a few weeks ago but then i started doing some money calculations and for me it's just not worth it... or feasible
