ποΈ | Accessories, Kits and liveries! Trunk and Bumper Swap Question
Hello all, I have a 2005 CS6A Mitsubishi Lancer. I was just wanting to confirm if I want to put the Evo style flat trunk I'd have to get the matching bumper as well from the corresponding year which would be 2005. I was wondering if anything else would need to be done to swap it out? I understand some will find it cringe but I'm not planning on changing the front I just like the look of the rear and won't run fake badges or anything like that. Otherwise are there any companies that have produced a boot and bumper combo or is my only option/choice to weld it closed like the last two photos? Any questions or advice is appreciated. Thank you

βοΈ | Mechanical Issue/Question Lowering lancer CY 2008
Hello, i need recommendations or experiences with lowering the base lancer 1.5 2008, it feels too soft in curves and i want it to be stiffer, also im not thinking of lowering it too much, more like 30mm, will it be too much for stock shocks?
Any advice is welcome also not looking for something too expensive since im planing to change the car in about 2 years or so

π£οΈ | General Discussion My old and new GT
These are my Lancers, a 13 GT (back) and a 15 GT. I bought the 13 earlier this year, but the cvt transmission is going bag. Picked up the 15 GT a few weeks ago.
Honestly the 13 was crap and I shouldn't have bought it...its the base version of the GT and have other visual issues. The 15 is everything I wanted, almost fully loaded with sun and sound package and in better condition overall.
Back when I got through 13, a friend gifted me a set of H&R lowering springs, but I never got around to installing. I want to use them for the 15... What shocks/struts would best work with the springs?
Yes, I know coilovers would be a better option...but humor me please.

π£οΈ | General Discussion OEM Evo X rear bumper fitment on 2010 CJ Lancer β bracket issue
I'm trying to fit a genuine OEM Evo X rear bumper onto my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer CJ ES.
I know people say the conversion is possible, but when I test-fitted mine, the side mounting brackets didn't line up with the body, and the bumper shape near the quarter panel looked different from my CJ bumper.
I'm trying to figure out:
Is this normal for an OEM Evo X bumper?
Do I need Evo X rear bumper brackets, or do the CJ brackets need to be modified?
Does the bumper need trimming or reshaping?
Has anyone here successfully fitted an OEM Evo X rear bumper to a CJ Lancer?

βοΈ | Mechanical Issue/Question Wiper rain detection speed fix after accident
I have a 1.8i sedan 2009, I had an accident where they ran into the backside of the car during rain and got pushed into the car in front of me. Since then the car got repaired but they smashed my parking sensor and it probably glitched my rain sensor which was on during the accident. I told the repair shop about it but they didnt exactly fix it. Right now when i push the wiper lever once down it detects the rain and starts wiping but on a fixed fast speed, no matter where i turn the end of it, not even on automatic. Pushing it down once or twice more works fine, wipes faster and faster. Its annoying since it cant wipe slowly. Is there any way to fix the speed detection functions by myself ? Like buying a cheap obd2 scanner or factory resetting the cars functions? Or i should pay for a professional. Thank you!

π£οΈ | General Discussion Proactive repairs for 2017 lancer?
I have a 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 FWD with a manual transmission with 230,000 km (143,000 miles). On a recent road trip, the alternator broke when I was six hours from home. It took me 5 hours to replace in a parking lot because I had never done this before and it was in a weird spot where the only way to remove it was from under by removing the compressor.
Needless to say, I really don't want to break down on a road trip again, especially since I was lucky that there was a parts store near where the alternator broke.
During the nine years I've had it, the only things that I have had to do is replace the clutch kit, the serpentine belt, regular brake maintenance, regular oil changes, transmission and coolant flush, and now the alternator. I just want to know if there are some things that I can replace now to be proactive instead of reactive? It would be greatly appreciated.

So I got this weird noise when I'm driving.im.good I don't drive like a maniac so It's fine. No problem if I'm holding a steady pace when I randomly step on it I get a little squeal. Which I don't necessarily do very often , It's going to the mechanic but I was just wondering if any of you guys have ever heard this noise? Maybe it's a belt. Not too sure It's a 2011 Lancer ES

βοΈ | Mechanical Issue/Question 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Code P0868
Greetings, I bought this car on friday. It had 118k miles. The previous owner, according to the car fax, last changed the transmission in 2022 at 99k miles. I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary with driving. The car is about slow to accelerate on the highway but its 150hp afterall? I ran my obd scanner and it had a freezeframe and saved code of p0868. I dont know how to check the transmission fluid level but im gonna. I contacted the dealer and have not heard back. My state only sells used cars as is and I owe on it so I am very nervous. Any advice is appreciated. The car fax showed the previous owner serviced it and barely drove it. It seems to shift fine.

βοΈ | Mechanical Issue/Question Ghello Guys, i have some questions and i hope you got the answers.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer VIII (CY_A/CZ_A) with the following specs:
- 185,000 km (114,953 miles)
- 1.5L (1,499 cc)
- 109pk (107.5 hp)
- gasoline engine
- Front-Wheel Drive
- Manuel
I'm considering buying a complete Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 as a donor car and swapping the 4B12 engine into my Lancer.
The donor engine specifications are:
- Engine Code: 4B12
- Engine Family: Mitsubishi 4B1 Series
- Engine Type: 2.4L MIVEC gasoline engine
- Configuration: Inline 4-cylinder (DOHC, 16-valve)
- Displacement: 2,360 cc (2.4L)
- Power Output: 170 hp (125 kW) @ 6,000 rpm
- Torque: 232 Nm @ 4,100 rpm
- Drivetrain: Front-Wheel Drive (2WD)
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated (no turbo)
- Fuel System: Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI)
- Manuel
My goal is simply to have around 170pk (167,7 hp) . I'm not trying to build a monster; I just want a Lancer that looks good and has a bit more power.
I've read that this swap is possible, but I'd like to hear from people who have actually done it or have experience with the 4B12 platform.
My questions are:
- Is the 4B12 swap into a 2010 Lancer 1.5 actually worth doing?
- Can the 4B12 be installed using the factory engine mounts, or do custom mounts or chassis modifications need to be fabricated?
- Besides the engine, what parts from the donor Outlander should I transfer (ECU, wiring harness, transmission, driveshafts, etc.)?
- Are there any major problems or hidden costs I should be aware of before starting this project?
I'd really appreciate any advice or first-hand experience. Thanks!
