Hey everyone! I just joined up, and I'm from a small town near Reading, Pennsylvania. I'm 26 and a restaurant manager for Arby's. I work hard, and play hard too, as well as very dedicated in everything I do. I guess I was just brought up that way. I'm currently on my third Mitsubishi and I must say I couldn't be happier with the brand! :mitsu: = {thumbup}

I started out with a 2005 Lightning Yellow EVO VIII that I bought brand new about 5 years ago. It was my first actual vehicle purchase and it was a little overwhelming at first. I put almost 5 grand into the car with INJEN intercooler piping, a TurboXS turbo back exhaust, short shifter, AEM intake, cams, stereo system, and random maintenance things here and there. I had my EVO for a little over a year and ended up having to trade it in because I was trying to move out on my own and my promotion at work didn't go through.

While I was in for an oil change they were bringing the 9g Lancers in on the truck, and I ended up leaving that day with the very first 2008 Lancer GTS in the area. It was Apex Silver and hadn't been driven by anyone BUT me. I did all sorts of mods to that car...custom exhaust by a local shop, Takeda Intake, blacked out bumped, blacked out the license plate surround, tinted tail lights, sound system, painted engine and HIDs. This car was my baby for over 4 years until I upgraded recently to a Ralliart.

I recently purchased a 2010 Ralliart Sportback in Wicked White. I missed having the turbo, and it's so nice to have a sleeper car with a turbo now. I've had it for a little over 2 months and I already added INJEN intercooler piping, a boost gauge, painted tail light accents on it, and upgraded the HID bulbs. I have a few more plans for the car and have the exhaust coming tomorrow, so I'm excited for that!


I've been active on lancerTuners.com and 9glancers for a few years now, and I'm excited to become a member here. I hope to contribute as much as I can, and even learn a lot more from all of you as well!

Welcome, glad to have you here!

Good to see that you're back in a turbo'ed Lancer, I can imagine going from an EVO to a GTS was a huge downgrade. Hell, this is my first turbo car and even though it's not as powerful as an EVOX, it's still plenty fun to drive!

Agreed, the RA is an amazing machine to drive around in, and it has about the same power as my EVOVIII did, so I'm extremely happy with it!
