Purchased a 380 a few weeks back, I was browsing the Carsales website trying to figure out what car to buy as i dont get my licence back from another 3 months, And came across the 2005 Mitsubishi 380 GT for $14,990 and at that price i rushed out and bought it, Only thing i have done so far is throw on some 18" ROH Mantis Shadow Chrome Rims w/ 245/45/R18's

Been looking through the forums trying to peice together a list of Mods and thus far the obvious choices seem like the 90mm Intake, K&N Filter and change over the muffler, Apart from that would like to stick in a decent sound system but that looks like alot of work and at the end of the day i can go without the bass as most of my music is stored and played through my navman and through the radio anyway.

So apart from those couple of things does anyone have any suggestions / Recommendations and where a trustworthy place is to get these mods installed, As the car is under a 3 year warranty i should probably make sure no mods will void this.

Wow! You got that for a bargain! :woot: Car looks great.

These are the mods I would do:
90mm Intake (You can do this yourself, wont void warranty)
Berklee Rear Muffler (Shouldnt void warranty, was actually tested on pre-production 380s)
King Lows (Improves handling/look ALOT, definately recomended)
Sound System(Stock system is relatively good once the crappy speakers are replaced, I would replace the 6x9s to start off with)

Once again, first model, 120k's+ and being that an ES goes for 5k less, its about right and not really a bargain.

Good purchase mate, well done.

You cant go wrong with the mods you have mentioned....rear muffler, 90mm & filter. For a few hundred dollars I am sure you will be happy with the result. Most on here have already done them & no one has had any warranty issues to date.
