I"m tryin to keep my car up to date, trying to keep everything immaculate and in proper working order. I noticed that my tire pressure was low on one of the tires. I decided...

I bought my 08 Lancer GTS ( 5 speed ) on april 18th, so far ( aug 13th. ) 20 000 miles. Anybody have more ? No problems at all. I'm averaging app. 29 - 31 mpg with about 80% highway driving.

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone is having bad reception on FM radio. The ST and the RDS light on the radio keeps blinking. Also when I drive the radio sound quites and then goes loud again randomly. I already went back to the dealer and they replace the radio part and its still not working.. I wanted to know if anyone else is having the same problem I have been experiencing

Well, test drove one tonight and loved it. The paddle shifters are pretty sweet, I fit in the car well, and it's only 20k! A steal for that kind of fun!

I have a few questions I need your help with though.

1. How good is the Rockford system?
2. Anyone have the factory Turbocharger? I'm thinking of getting this.
3. Anything other tips/advise will be...

Just wondering if anyone thinks they can use these tires in the first winter... seems like the tread will not hold up in the snow and ice... my GTS is coming in mid september as it takes 2 months to get it after ordering. It would suck if i already have to swap to winter tires within 3 months or so.

In my GTS, when I have the urge to have fun I switch to paddle mode, and it seems much more "choppy" so to speak than standard auto. Examples:

1) When I'm driving along at a constant speed, and let off the gas due to the traffic in front of me, sometimes (about 1/3 of the time) the car seems to "drag", as in it feels like the RPM drop considerably, but...

I'm kinda torn between the two cars right now, because I found a used 2004 Lexus IS300 at a dealership near my house for about the same price as a fully loaded GTS would be, and it had about 48k miles on it

I don't really care about fuel economy or the added insurance, I'm just not sure which one will be better in the long run... at least in terms of enough power, fun to...

Hey guys,

In the short time I've had this car I've had to make a few U-turns and I was surprised on how tight it could turn around. I looked on the internet and the Lancer's turning circle is 32.8 feet. Thats as good as a 2007 Lotus Elise.

Besides the Mazda Miata, Z4, and maybe the Toyota Yaris it turns tighter than most sports cars and ultra compact cars. ...

So at work today one of the engineers from California and I were talking about the custom springs we have from Eibach. Naturally I bring up the Lancer and he was like yeah I can talk to Eibach and see what we can come up with. I told him about RRM and he said he never heard of them but he has heard of Progress Group (the company that makes the springs for RRM) and actually knows the...

Hey everyone,

I plan on doing a sick install on my new Mitsub Lancer GTS and I have a couple of questions. I have the Navigation system that has the Musicserver, etc. and I want to add two sets of Components and two 10's. I'm thinking about getting the RF 3.Sixty so that I can keep my stock HU. Does anyone have any experience or take on this DSP? Any other that you would...

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the security system in new Lancer is good or should I be looking for an aftermarket stuff. The car is hot, so I'm a bit worried....

Hello,
I'm a new member and I'm planning on buying a the Lancer '08 GTS Manual in December of this year, and I was wondering if anyone was able to find cloth headrest covers that matches to the seats? I pretty much want it to be identical, if not something roughly similar. What I want to do is stitch my initials to the seat covers and put it on the headrest.

Or, could...

Hey all, new owner of an '08 Lancer GTS here, and I must say I love this car. I was just wondering what the best way to break in the engine is?

I just called around for tint prices. Pro-Trim (Dayton Ohio) said $179 for install and they want $25 per door to install the felt on the rubber seal. Zeibart (Dayton Ohio) Said $179 plus $40 per door for the felt. I saw that many people were having the problem with their tint getting scratched because their is no felt inside the window seal.
I was wondering how much...

Hello guys im new to this forum, I just recently bought a 08 Lancer ES and I love it. The only thing is that I asked my dealership how I can get my bluetooth working in my car and they said that I need to purchase an additional component and pay their labor fees to get it working. Has anyone got this done on their ES? Thanks

I have a 98 eclipse GST and was thinking about getting a lancer. I like to drive fast, so how do they do compare to my car? They only have 154hp? A stock Eclipse has 210hp. So I was wondering if it could keep up? I don't want to lay down 20 grand on somthing allot slower. Also I hear they are making a Lancer that is better then the GTS but not as good as a Evo. From what I read it will...

Hey guys next week I will be giving my car to Greddy to design their Ti-C exhaust for our model. I will be updating the progress here:



So, if you want one of those exhausts, check there next week!...

I know nothing about rims and tires and sizes. Will this bolt pattern fit my gts?
5 x 4.50 or 5 x 114.3. Any input will help.

I just read a post from roadracemotorsports on the evolutionm.net forum that their ecu is out already and theyre going to put it on the web this week but u can already call and order it! It's $399

i just need to know if a wheel wich is 17x7.5 with an offset of 42 will fit with no problem on a lancer 2008 (which as soon as theres a set of lowering spring out she will be dropped)

btw these are the wheels

Don't get me wrong. I love my vehicle, aesthetically, but I bought the DE because I wanted to upgrade it myself, and there dont seem to be any reliable parts available.

This was my first brand new vehicle, so I'm guessing its not uncommon for good mods to lag a year behind?

For all you seasoned vets out there, what kind of time frame can I look forward to as far as...

Hi guys.
I just got a Rally Red 08 Lancer GTS about a month ago as my first car, and I love it.
HOWEVER, about a week or 2 ago, driving down the freeway, a f'ing rock hit my windshield, and now there's a rock chip. I know there are places that do rock chip repairs free, but I was wondering if I could take it in the the Mitsubishi dealer and have them fix it. Does anyone know if...

P.S. mods....is this sticky worthy?

Hey guys, got my Al crankshaft pulley from RRM.

overall, the mod is very very easy. but me being a newb, I was very hisitent about performing this. sorry for the crap pics, I forgot my digital camera, by the time I figured that out, i had the fornt tire off already, so I used my cellphone camera.

Tools needed:

I took it to a detailer to get diamondkote put on it. I don't know if this happened from the detailer or just on its own, but the plastic front bumper where it meets the hood with the weather stripping in between. On the corner of that part the paint started to come off on the edge and could be easily removed with your thumb. I took it to the dealer and they will repaint it...phew. Also...

Do you guys know if the bolt pattern on the 08 is the same os the 06? (5X114.3 or 5X4.5)

When my music albums load into my stereo they are sorted by album title. This was fine for just a few CDs but now that i about 70 loaded it is a pain to find what i want.

I have a GTS with sun and sound. When I turn my headlights on, the display on my radio dims significantly. I was wondering if anyone else noticed it. During the day its not very noticeable, but at night you can really tell. Next time your doin some night driving, check to see if yours does the same thing. Just let me know. Thanks

As I've said before here, I'm planning on buying the new GTS w/ sun and sound/nav and tech in the next couple of months. I've only bought one other car in my life (my '03 galant two years ago, which has been an ultra-reliable, great car, wish I could keep it, but I love this new lancer too much), and I was just wondering what a general rule is for the price point on new cars? ...

I have bought a 2008 lancer ES this week but i only will get it in 1 month because the car i wanted in the trim i wanted is still in shipping.
