Default had car for 1 week before and after.

the day I got it.


all I have done to it so far is a greddy evo2 exhaust skunk2 springs and kyb agx shocks. Oh yea and ep3 wheels. the drop was alot lower than I expected and 15s is my only choice for rim size. Also skunk2 rear upper strut bar and dc rear lower tie bar(not shown)

car sounds nice and rides smoth on the soft setting.

im not expecting raves from you guys just thought I would post pics for fun

future plans include in order:
DC SS 4-2-1 header
aem V2
vis CF hood

(NEW PICS)

2003 lancer oz rally is a great family car!
but thats all it is 125 hp doesnt give it much pep.

I had 14k to buy whatever car I wanted and I couldnt resist the civic si. Thats saying alot considering the cars I have had in the past.

btw I payed 11k and payed with my money in cash.

its a 2000 and has 40k miles.

Jesus...do you buy a new car every 3-months or something? Anyway looks good so far. I loooooove EBP (biased) Not crazy about the EP3 wheels though. I would've opted for some blades or Si's if I had to stick to OEM wheels.

ditch the DC 421 idea and try to find a CTR oem exhaust manifold. You will get bigger gains and it has a 2.5" collector. Since Its a 4-2-1 design, it doesn't hang lower than stock.

JDM engine importers usually have them. They can run from $40-$180.

You would need to use the stock CTR/ITR jdm CAT or custom one up with a carsound 2.5" cat and a :


edit: car looks good bro. Only thing I would do to the car is keep the rear wing on it. add a CTR 5 lug and a B18C block.
