I would get some really short mudflaps and fit those on just because you would mess up your car and others if you take it out in the rains
I dont think i would take it out in the moonsoon season that much especially with the roads being bad during that time.

Re: A rally legend! Just bought a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6

No offences but could had selected a better set of tires to compliment the Evo

From the company the Evo 6 came with Yokohama Advan Neovas

Tires are tires these days and on these indian roads i dont want to spend a pretty penny on expensive tires i did my research and chose them for a reason.

I am sure that will look amazing on the car.We are looking forward to the final pics.By the the car being a direct import wasn't it difficult to change the ownership and stuff.I don't have much knowledge of the same but will appreciate if you put down some information.

That's a wise decision. Esp turbo cars i feel exp tires for daily use is too much!
I currently use Eagle NCTs and offers me good driving exp.

What does this mean?
What is the connection between turbo and tyres and daily usage?

Re: A rally legend! Just bought a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6

Hopefully the car will be getting painted tommorow. There had been a delay because the car needed a new alternator before we got it moving. Hopefully I pray to God I will get the car either thursday or friday.
