^^^ remember to check the spare as well, tell them you want the number plate mounted on the 2 attachment points on the lower front grill on the bumper it would look better than where they currently drill the center section and install them i sure they never notice that is where it was ment to be attached. also when you drive it check when you power out if it pulling to the left ... the fellas in the US having real problems with that because their trannie does not have LSD, but i belive that the cars we have here came with it at least the GTS , that Kamakazie has came with, did u get hid's on the 2.0? and check the sticky for a few chapters from the service manual.. trying real hard to get the full thing
so car went for service , oil replaced (i see we were charged for 5 units , is 5 qt ah oil that car taking, they must have done a flush),changed oil filter, check & adjusted brakes , re-torqued suspension, aligment done etc.. cost just under $600
which is i find is good price..
what i did not like is when my wife returned home with the car i open the bonnet oil splatered all over the engine room , i get vex cause i trying to keep the car in a showroom clean appearence . plus the oil cap was a little loose, and i assumed that when poring in the oil some fell on the belt and just splatered but to be sure
we called up the company explain the situation , then headed to chaguanas @ 5pm to have them check it .
so as i reach the guy tell me open the bonnet he sprayed a combination of soap and "body prep" (what they use to remove oily substances before painting ) then take a hose and spray dong the engine, all yuh just imagine my shock cause the whole car is electronics , from steering to coil packs to abs computer to fuse box to alternator every thing soak down... so i ask that ok to do the guy told me yes, after that, i realise i knew much more about the car and its workings than this man...
so i went home dry it off and clean back up the engine the soap mixture left some white spots on all the plastic in the engine bay , cleanned that and treated it with some armoral
this morning started the car the "perodic inspection light" flashes so i was like wtf... switch off - start back "beep" wtf light again , so d wife taking the car back to them again good thing she works a few buildings up from diamond....
will keep u guys posted. |

a slight tap on the turn signal will turn them on for 5 sec ideal for changing lanes on the highway
the cup holders of the center floor console are further apart so now they can hold his and hers rituals chillers (in the CS it is a fight)
the sun roof to open is 1 touch
the glove box have dampers so you no longer open and and it just drops
the a/c controls has a auto feature that cycles air through the different vents |

SHO:
Very happy that you picked up the new Lancer. I've been trying to preach the amazing cramming of features into this ride.
Firstly, for that periodic inspection, you just hold down the Info button till it resets. It automatically resets to the next service option (BUT i think 10,000KM service interval). I insisted that they give me that option so it works for me.
Outside of that, I've had this CY for about 6 months and absolutely no complaints. Its the roomiest interior ive been in for a while (even beats back A4 Audi for comfort).
I used to cry about the initial acceleration (due to my own withdrawal symptoms) but to be very honest, I've always said it has Extremely Strong mid-range. You feel the cam lobe change over at 5-6K rpm with the onset of MIVEC and the acceleration is seamless.
Another important selling point for me was the strength and rigidity of the entire frame. Everyone who has sat in the car for the 1st time has had to close the doors twice, requires a bit of a tug to close properly.
HIDs are so good, any other car I drive, I squint! the AFS also something I would have taken for granted as unnecessary before, makes the Lady Young and Maracas night driving quite pleasant and effortless.
Didnt know about the License plate placement as it was one of the first batch and I just took whatever they did with it.
And lastly, I also nearly killed myself within the first 1000km on taking some tight corners. I always felt the ride was wayyyyyyyyy too stiff. Needless to say, for first alignment I insisted they check over tyre pressure. Sure enuff - 50psi!!!
Since then, its been adjusted and the handling is superb. On 15,000 Kilos and did my first tyre rotation last two weeks. Next service at 21,000 Kilos. Service Bills so far total under TT$1700.00. I find that very reasonable.
Only unrelated issue Ive had so far is that some COMPLETE JACKA$$ pried out my centre chrome diamond on the rear trunk lid! Couldnt believe it! However, firm has them for TT$225 v.i. and I plan to purchase one later this year just before I sell the car to keep things original.
All in all, excellent purchase. Maybe we can trade notes as we go along. I'm really feeling some Black-Out rear lights as I find the colour to salmon/pinkish for my liking. I have the Cool Silver colour which is one of the top three colours in my opinion (along with the black and the red).
