recently when im driving my music will cut off out of nowhere, if i turn my car off and on again it plays my music but after about 5-10 minutes it will cut out again. the screen stays on so i dont think its a wiring problem with that. anyone know what might be causing this?
also while im here - is there a way to fix my speakers popping when my music is above 20?!?!

Got curious recently and checked under the hood and seen the belt was showing this sort of fraying on these two spots. Should I replace it? Weird thing is I replaced this last summer too the only thing was my ac was overcharged for a lil and pulling on the belt harsher which is the only thing I can assume caused this. Tensioner and idler pulleys were changed last summer as well.

My 2008 Lancer ES needs the clutch slave cylinder replaced. I’ve been trying to locate where it is. One source says it’s next to the transmission which doesn’t require dropping and another says it is and requires dropping the transmission. I’d like to know for sure because mechanics are quoting me over a thousand even though I already have the replacement part.

Ciao qualcuno di voi a mai pensato di fare un upgrade al impianto audio rockford? Vorrei avere un subwoofer più potente ma, e possibile tenere la cassa originale? Forse sarebbe meglio una in legno. L'amplificatore originale penso non sia regolabile e sarà sicuramente da sostituire mi sa

Hi everyone! I have a 2013 lancer evo x mr that needs new exhaust, struts, break pads, etc. I brought it to a shop (familiar with foreign cars/lancers) and the mechanic said he couldn't find the parts because they don't make them anymore and they have to be MR specific.
Is it true they have to be specific to the evo x mr model? And/or does anyone know a reliable parts distributor?

I'm new to cars and would love any help I can get.

First time posting thank you for any help :)

What kind of problems should I expect to have? I'm having a mechanic look at it what do they need to look for?

Hi all! I wired in a new headunit today, the guy at the auto store gave me the wiring harness for the lancer (Aeropro APP0111) but not for the pioneer head unit (MVHS145BT).

I decided to cut and wire it in using the pioneer plug provided in the box, but just has loose wires on one end. I got to the very end and had a single orange cable that said Dash Illuminator on it. I had no idea where to put it, so I plugged it all in to see if it would work and headunit worked great.

Went for a drive and realised that the speedometer, aircon controls, and the gear lever had no lights showing up. Ive checked fuses and no issues there.

Is it that orange wire? Can anyone help me where I should wire that in? Can I piggy it into a different one?

Is there something i can plug and play into my headlight that’s compatible with my Vland headlights? I can’t seem to find an actual Vland brand replacement.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me get my factory reverse camera working again.

I got 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 2.0 CVT.

Head unit: Sony XAV-AX3200

I'm trying to retain the OEM reverse camera. The previous owner cut off the original camera plug, so I'm wiring it manually.

I've been testing the wires with a multimeter and have found 12V on some of them when reverse is selected, but I'm still getting "No Video Signal" on the Sony head unit.

I've already:

Checked the camera power wires.

Tested voltages in reverse.

Verified the Sony reverse trigger is working.

Used an Aerpro APVMT01 camera retention adapter, but because the factory plug was cut off, it isn't a simple plug-and-play install.

Does anyone have:

The OEM reverse camera wiring diagram or pinout?

Wire colour functions for the factory camera?

Any tips on getting the factory camera working with a Sony XAV-AX3200?

Any advice or photos of the wiring would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How dare Mitsubishi send me a service coupon with a Lancer prominently displayed on the front! They refuse to make anymore of my favorite car. I'd buy a new one tomorrow if Mitsubishi still made them in the US.

Need help!!

Recently just got a custom wrap and fitted it, much worth the saved hundreds instead of a whole carbon fibre wheel for $1000. Looks great imo

EDIT: Anyone blacked out their badge on the wheel? If so how and what with. Was thinking of just plastidip spray and covering the wheel.

Hey all,
Has anyone in Australia had any experience buying VRX front pods for their CJ lancer? If so how’d it go and where’d you get it?

Need help identifying this part and how it should go in couple days ago. I had a service engine light go on in my car took it to AutoZone to read the code and they said I needed this specific part. Today unplugged my battery got a compressed air can and blue into the holes to try to clean it put it back in and plug. My battery in the check engine light disappeared. I tried looking online if anyone has had the same problem and but can’t seem to find it I want to make sure that I put it back in the right way. Is there a way I can check?

i recently found a set of projectors from a 2010 outlander and i was wondering if its theoretically possible for me to swap the wiring and the inner bowl from the hids to my factory halogens? because the rear housings are the exact same, apart from the hump for the hids, but the lens doesn’t exactly line up. is this kind of job possible or should i just go return these?

My baby. 2015. Es 5 speed. Love it. Purchased at 126k, currently at 150k

I picked up my lancer about two years ago. I've put some money in maintenance wise but honestly not much has been needed. It is a 5 speed and I love it. Its paid off in a month. Its not an Evo, but if I do this right, I'll have an Evo next to it for my Birthday.

2 road trips across the US including the Rockies, the salt flats, some beautiful forests in Washington and to some lakes in Minnesota.

It wants to play but it also knows its not running the streets. Its able to get up and go without a ton of attention.

After I finish paying it off next month I will start prepping for light modification/restoration.

• New wheels, the caps look nice but are covering basically steel plates.

• new headliner - one of the two former owners smoked in the car. Cant smell it any thankfully, but they scuffed the ceiling and theres a pretty set in ash mark. But its also beige anyways and I want it black, lile the rest of the exterior/interior

• tint replacement - windows are mostly fine but have some marks, but the rear view has a ton of bubble pockets.

• rain guards. - i know nothing about them and havent taken the few minutes to research past in channel or out of channel settings, not sure which is best but will figure that out eventually.

• grill chrome trim delete or swap to the larger open grill?

I will be taking care of this car as long as i can. If I could, I would have Mitsubishi rebuild it and have it as close to factory new as possible. Not sure if thats an option but I also havent got that kind of money at once haha.

Any tips or advice for keeping this car running? Id love to see it hit 250k but have seen images of an evo at 400k so I dont want to count this car out anytime remotely soon.

Im not sure about engine rebuilds or how worth whole they are if you dont have an immediate need for one but- i like the idea of having a new engine to put in if this current one dies. Im no mechanic though, so I dont know if theres any reason for that?

Only maintenence concern beyond general upkeep has been my ac. Recently it started idling rough when ac is on. It pumps hot cold air, but it throttles 500-1k rpm repeatedly anytime its on, but does not when the air is off. Bringing it in next week for this. Otherwise its maintenence has been easy going.

Cheers yall.

*edit: didnt know how to add pics to post body so added down below.

2014 Lancer ES. I bought this brand new and never had any issues until today. This warning and two icons popped up while i was driving normally today. is this something to be concerned about?

I want to buy these but im scared they wont really fit correctly. i have a 2008 Lancer ES. anybody have any experience with these? do you know if they will for sure fit the way they claim?

Hey everyone, I ran into a bit of an issue yesterday driving back from the city in my 2015 ES with the 2.4L 4B12 engine. I was blasting some music and noticed the bass started acting funky. This morning, I'm not getting any audio at all from any of them. I have an aftermarket Kenwood stereo system installed, so has anyone experienced this or have any ideas on what might be causing it? The car has roughly 45k miles so im a little consfused on what mightve caused it. Ive also never had any issues with the speakers before hand, it was about 30 minutes driving back home during the storm
