2004 lancer ES. Need help, advice and direction!

i have a 04 lancer es and i want to modified it so i need somo guidance since i'm completely new to the car scene, i want to do as much as i can on this car including a conversion from automatic transmission to 5 speed, please people just give me a hand
Thank you all

I haven't seen a 5spd conversion yet. if you are going to convert to manual wait for your intake and get the cold air intake it doesn't work w/ auto. you can get a short ram for $30-45 shipped on ebay mine works well if you can't wait. AEM and Injen makes the c/a/i's but I have seen plenty of ebay knock offs. the have Kamikaze headers on ebay if you don't want to bid road race motorsports has headers and a sweet magnaflow exhaust. They basically have everything you need but you can find some stuff cheaper. suspension kits are dime a dozen on ebay but I don't know about the quality. I think tien makes a kit for us and rrms does too. the strut braces (front and rear) are also common on ebay I bought the cheapest one and it looks and works well. I don't have much research on body kits 'cause my terrain isn't too friendly to body kits but there are plenty out there. If I missed anything just ask. Keep us posted.

thanks man now what's the difference between justr getting an exhaust from ebay or grtting a much more pricey cat back exhaust?

it will cost a ton to convert it to a manual, so just stick with the basics intake and exhaust and there might be headers that u can buy.

I'm rather fond of ebay just hope you actually get what you are bidding on. w/ two cats an axle back is just as good as a catback on our car and a bit cheaper. alot of times once you factor in shipping ebay doesn't come out much cheaper on the name brand stuff. I was really impressed w/ rrms's magnaflow system tho, a good price for a GREAT product,

man looking for other body kits besidsides the accolade aero group design one its nice and all but cant really afford $2600 after shipping check it out http://www.body-kit.com
