There is a guy from Mandurah in my club.. or thinks hes in my club rather.. who has turbo'd his lancer gli.. he has an A-pillar gauge with TWO boost gauges.. I asked him 'why 2 boost gauges?'.. and his reply was '.. coz it makes it look like it's twin turbo!'.

I looked at him and walked off..

To cut a long story short imo, if you mod a lancer you run the risk of falling into the same category. But each to their own. I'm just saying it's not something I'd do. :P

lol that shit is funny...wanna put that on a t-shirt or sumthin

sorry - saw this thread and looked interesting.....

its up to him what he wants to do, but yeah, the modded up lancer thing is usually for young p-plate women from forums such as www.melbccr.com.au

but hey, if he is happy, then let him go for it.

edit - friend of mine has a lancer with leather interior and evo kit and a cannon muffler - hmmmm all show and no go....so sounds a bit lame, but at the same time its not my car. He tried to give it some stick at the lights, and wouldnt really go that well....

i dont think it will hlp much he has his mind set on making people think he has an evo..

Exactly, what ever we post wont make a difference. Generally people make up their minds but still have a little doubt in their decision. So they then ask for others opinions, the ones that suit their decision are taken note of, where as the others that disagree are dismissed as being rubbish. Normal human nature I guess, we just listen to what we want to hear.

Let us know how things work out though yea? :P

OR, buy a old toyota crown, slam it with some rims and you now have a reliable, and cheap cruiser , when your mates say how fast it is you say ,"its a classic cruiser idiot, slow and low".

Save your money for the car you really want and get in a couple of years when you know what your after and havent spent your money on shit.

2 cents

Damn, im gonna buy one and use it as a daily.

Lancer to look like an EVO is fail in any language...

13k is plenty of dosh to get something fun...

if you look hard enough you could get an awesome fun Silvia (S13 and some peeps are flogging off S14's super dooper cheap now) and of course 180sx's

or buy Rhys' NA, not a bad car at all... great P Plater car

Honda's are good fun, i used to think i could beat Turbos though *fail*

and Leo... sorry brother but a Lancer that has engine mods that don't include turbo and turbo supporting mods and an AWD system is a tiny bit rice

it's alright now, you have a GTT :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

i litterally "Roll On the Floor Laughing".....

The most important thing IMO is what is his motive? If he's doing it up for himself there's some merit as tastes are personal. If he's doing it up to get positive attention from other enthusiasts (and I reckon he probably is if you're posting here for him asking what people's reactions would be) then he may as well give up now.

There's certain cars that no matter what you do to them just don't cut it. I had a Daihatsu Charade GTti, which is a 3 cyl, twin cam, turbo, intercooled, injected etc etc little rocket which I modified and tuned till it would hammer all my mates in their Commodores, pulled 200 km/h (which in a Charade is seriously scary) and sounded sweet as. But at the end of the day, it's still a Charade/shopping trolley/chicks car and those were the sort of comments I got. For me, that was fine, it was a cheap, fun daily that didn't cost the earth to run/modify. But if your mate wants positive attention from other people, he won't get it in a riced up Lancer.

i dont mean bad to lancer owners.

i was one of them. i used to drive a lancer with huge bodykit and a loud exhaust. a nissan pulsar sss also witha gay loud exhaust and wierd 19"rims(when i am thinking about it right now). i am proud to be a ricer.(its a phase in some people's lives) and YES everyone had a bit or RICE in them. put your hands up if you agree.

but i do regretted not to go for more tasteful mods. lesson learnt.

Mods for the lancer:

Proper size rims eg: 16 and 17 should be enough.

Dont go crazy on the bodykit and also the exhaust!

good luck to the new owner!

hope he have fun in his new car!

cheers!

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
