Anyone Have Cruise? - Mitsubishi Evolution Forums: Mitsubishi Lancer Forum

I was thinking of getting cruise control on my car as I commute over 300 miles a week on the highway, and it gets old. Has anyone had CC installed? Where'd you get it done and does it work well? What kind of shop would do a good job on the install? The only kit I know of is the Rostra kit, and you can buy it on lancershop.com.

Thanks.

From what I've read over at EvoM it seems to work pretty well. Do some searching over there and I'm sure you'll find the answers you seek

Yeah, from the reports on EvoM, it works pretty well. I guess I was more interested on what local place would be best for the install, and if anyone local had a good job done on theirs in any particular place...

I have also read that they work great.... I do not have one either, and was thinking about getting one my self.

The X is just not my style.....I only need the CC for my highway commutes....otherwise I'm boosting

lol... yeah i need cc for the same reason. i boost alot on the highway and X is UGLY imo

I agree, I like to feel what I am driving on

haha ya you know you got a bumpy ride when your CD's occasionally skip when you hit a large bump! haha

Coevopower · 03-14-2008, 01:42 PM

lol Nope Mine doesnt do that.

My EVOX is still bumpy and you can feel the road.

And no offense to you X owners, but I wouldn't ever buy a long block made out of aluminum. I don't know what Mitsubishi was thinking. But then again you look at the STi's and they're all aluminum too. That's probably why I didn't get one. And the fact it's a boxer engine. Who wants to work on that?

But going back to the original post. CC would be nice, I also commute every day over 60 miles. There are times when I'd like to just recline my seat, open a book, set my CC and take a quick nap. Come on guys, CC on a boosted car is like mixing honey and vinager. They weren't meant to be together...If you want a cruiser, get a lexus or something

LOL read a book while driving. NICE. That takes some talent there.. But It would be nice to have cuz when i go up to denver I am always goin WAY over the speed limit, and with CC i might be able to calm that down a bit.

haha i've had cruise on half my cars and i never even used it! when i bought the TSX i thought that i was going to LOVE all the luxury stuff and i just ended up feeling like i was 50yrs old!! dammit i'm young! i love my evo

Evolvd · 03-14-2008, 08:26 PM

I've made many 1000+ mile trips in my Evo and I can't think of any time that I didn't want cruise.... But it builds a strong right calf!
