(First posted on MLR forum in May 2012) The wheels had some curbing and flaking paint so thought I’d refurb them. I’m not keen on spending £300+ to get someone else to do them. So after spending some time finding the best prices for paint I found that halfords was the way to go so […]
(First posted on MLR forum in April 2012) cleaned and re-oiled the K&N filter and got a couple of pics of the engine bay as it is now though I’d like to tidy it up a bit sometime. I really don’t like all the shiny stuff at all. Something will need to be done.
(First posted on MLR forum in May 2012) Got some more jobs done lately including an interior clean Someone previous had covered the dash with dash shine junk which is a pet hate of mine. As if the 90’s Jap plastic dash doesn’t look cheap enough as it is So used some matt finish cleaner […]
(First posted on MLR forum in April 2012) The paint was flaking off all the mesh on the front and was completely gone from the bonnet grille so I got some matte black paint. I sprayed the bonnet mesh but did all the front mesh with 2 coats by hand with a brush. Took me […]

(First posted on MLR forum in March 2012) There was a bit of play in the inner and outer bushes of the lower rear arms. Not too bad but I hate it when things move that shouldn’t so got some replacement powerflex bushes. I know the standard ones are spherical/rose joints which are good for […]
(First posted on MLR forum in March 2012) I always like to do a compression test when I get a new car and keep a record of it just in case. Very happy with how even they all are. Never used to get results this close on my old A series Minis! Also went […]
(First posted on MLR forum in March 2012) I know they were never standard on the VI but I always liked the look of the door decals on the earlier Evo’s so got some. Some masking tape comes in very useful in helping make sure the decal goes on straight and matching in position to […]
I’ve owned the Evo for 5 years now and have done a fair bit of work to it over that time. I have been keeping a diary of my ownership on the Mitsubishi Lancer Register forum since I bought the Evo in 2011. It’s been fairly popular and had some nice comments, so I thought […]
