I got Ozzie in March from a dealer in a small town not too far from where I was going to school. I chose it after driving another Protege and loving it, but someone had snatched it up before me. I paid $3700 and immediately started having/finding issues, and sadly not very many of them were cheap.
So far the total list of repairs (I'll add more as I remember them, cuz there's a lot):
-New battery
-New alternator
-New accessory belts
-New brakes all around (07 MZ6)
-Replaced pre-cat and J-pipe with header
-New struts, strut mounts, and end links all around
-New tires (Blizzak on stock rims, Kuhmo Ecsta on gold Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 18s)
-New coil packs
-New valve cover gasket
-New wheel bearings (both sides, 3x)
-New passenger-side steering knuckle
-New driver's side ball joint and lower control arm
-New motor mounts
And the mods (some listed from above):
-Windows-always-on (came with car)
-Header
-MZ6 brakes (red calipers)
-Painted valve cover
-Dipped winter rims, painted summer rims (soon)
-eBay intake, soon to be replaced by Weapon*R Dragon intake
-Shorty antenna
-LED brake- and backup lights
-S2K-type shift knob
-Kenwood DDX470 head unit
-Kicker 6x9s in front door (may be replaced soon, not much better than stock)
-6000k HID low beams (projectors soon)
-Yellow fog overlays (maybe 3000k HIDs soon)
-Shorty carbon fiber antenna
-RUST!! (jk, planning to get rid of it soon)
More to come! Eventually....
Now for the pics! The weekend I got Ozzie:
