May as well buy so you have it there just in case? Nah subframe stays put the box and transfer case get separated first and then they each come out down the bottom.

fuel Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Finally got around to fitting the Ralliart CF front lip. I ended up cutting it in half in order to transport it from NZ to Canada so will tidy up the join properly in time, but for now it's hardly noticeable. I'm going to place a Ralliart sticker over top of the join anyway to hide it further 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Probably my ultimate daily driver, nice work man. Crazy that you're mid-field with this, still feels like EVO IX were the fastest thing out there... must be getting old! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 big wang arrived all the way from Sri Lanka. Canada customs definitely had a big nosey at what it is. So what is this 'Kenstyle' you may ask? It is a Japanese manufacturer of a rear spoiler that was originally destined for the Lancer Cedia in the early '00s, before the Evo Wagon was released: Out of the other wings available, such as the Ralliart which is big $$$ and hard to find and the Varis which has now been discontinued and even more harder to find The Kenstyle is by far my favourite - though it does have a caveat (as does the Ralliart) in that it requires fitting a regular Lancer wagon spoiler because they attach to the regular model spoiler rather than the larger Evo wagon spoiler. I did end up finding a genuine Kenstyle in NZ but it did not include the base model Lancer spoiler (which I have since found thanks to @Bluebird_U). I still was faced with the more serious and expensive problem of getting a rather large wang from NZ to Canada. Unlike the Ralliart CF front lip I was able to get away with cutting right in the middle at its smallest and least noticeable point, I can not do the same to the spoilers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Having said that, finding a Kenstyle certainly isn't any easier and when they do pop up for sale they are too big $$$. I paid more than I wanted to for my Kenstyle in NZ, but still significantly less than the going rate because it was missing the regular Lancer wing base to make it complete. So enter in the Kenstyle replica, made in an initial small run of five units by a fellow Evo wagon owner in Sri Lanka who happens to have his own plastics manufacturing company. The replica is different in the sense that it combines the regular Lancer wagon spoiler into the Kenstyle mould, therefore negating the need to source a regular Lancer wagon spoiler, but also does away with the gap that is present between the regular spoiler and the Kenstyle wing that traps moisture and general muckyness: So here it is unpacked in its primer glory and will go on when I have some time to get it painted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that you're mid-field with this, still feels like EVO IX were the fastest thing out there... must be getting old! definitely more of a driver limitation than car limitation haha - I did have to drive the ~650km back to Toronto from western Michigan and didn't want to ruin the car haha. Being on all season tyres that started to feel super mushy once some heat got into them didn't help. I've since fixed that by getting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's earlier this week: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 some of the quick cars there was a Lexus GS-F that sounded amazing, the CT5 Blackwing (also on Michelin PS4S's) and some large overwight mild hybrid Merc/AMG thing that somehow was the second fastest vehicle all weekend 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
