The Ralliart also has a tuned exhaust system, larger tires, Evo pedals, larger brakes, Evo short throw shifter along with a strut tower brace. So, better handling plus more go.
First place you might want to try for parts is the dealership. I know several Lancer owners that have dressed up their OZ's and Ralliarts with Evo wings, hoods and ground effects. Most of the Ralliart items should slide right on the OZ. On the engine performance side most of them have aftermarket intakes, exhaust etc..etc...
Anyone wanting a turbo I would recommend just getting an Evo.
thanks for any ideas.
cheers people
:confuse:
all stock...
but it might have something to do with my car being brand new... idk
i still won..
And now it is probably best to move on.
Thanks,

because of the warranty and the 0% financing, but were pleasantly surprised by our initial test drive.We had driven other cars in this class, Corolla, Sentra, Civic and actually liked the Mitsu Lancer better.Our only concern
was that Mitsubishi has only been in Canada for 3 years and really have no proven track record for quality/reliability
etc. Do you guys have any issues with your cars? any heads up would be greatly appreciated.We have read many postings in the Chevrolet Malibu forum (our previous piece of junk)
to firmly scare us away from ANY GM product ever again.Would like to say hello to all fellow Mitsu owners and look forward to participating in this forum.Many Thanks

The way the car is equipped it's enough for our needs.I will agree that the car is a bit quirky in the looks department, but it's a unique car around the Toronto area as we have not seen too many as of yet.Ours is a Silver sedan with the 2.0 which is more than enough for us.Actually I find it very torquey around town.The main selling points were the 10 year powertrain warranty and the 5 year Vehicle warranty and 5 year Roadside Assistance.Hope this was helpful.

Anyways, Enjoy it. Just dont get sideswiped (side impact crash results are not pretty - NHTSA NCAP 2 star rating) :sick:
You are also correct about the side impact crash test, we were a bit concerned about that.Oh well, you can't have everything in this price range.Thank you for your input.

Still have doubts?
The Lancer is your passenger car. It's sporty, a total joy for the everyday ride.
The Lancer Evolution on the other hand, is your everyday Lancer on steroids. It's a performance car, and in fact, you can buy one from the dealerships that are identical in specs to what they use in Rally racing (WRC Group N). And that extra performance and muscular looks comes with a price, more than double for what you pay for a Lancer ES.
Although some sites like MSN autos don't make that distinction, the Lancer Evolution is NOT a variant of the Lancer. It is in a totally different class of its own. Although its history traces its roots back to the Lancer line, it has evolved to become a different species.

The only sad thing is that if I could have my way, they would still make Diamante wagons - I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
The few peeps I've spoken with concerning Mitsu's Lancer all say that, in general, Mitsubishi IS junk and to steer clear of purchasing any of their product. I tend to disagree. Case in point: the 2007 Lancer! I've seen a couple of "spy" pix of this model and like what I see. Does anyone out there have any clue if this newly designed machine comes with stability control as an option? I've been checking the '07 specs for the Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra. NO stability control is to be had. ZERO. The Toyota Corolla has such a thing, but only available in certain "regions". . .in my neck of the woods ESC for it is unavailable. My only alternative is the Mazda3, which has optional ESC. I still find the Lancer VERY interesting though.
Any 4-1-1?
I sure would appreciate it!
Thanx- :shades:
Peace<-
Thanks

IMHO it's always better to take your car to a dealership.
They know what the are doing with your vehicle as they have
trained technicians that work on these cars everyday.Having said that, I can appreciate your concern over the price difference between a local shop and the dealer.I had all my previous vehicles serviced at the dealer and have had very little problem with maintaining my cars.
I think it's a question of pay a little now or pay a lot later. I recently purchased a 2006 Mitsu Lancer ES and plan on having all my service done with my dealer,in this early stage my maintenance is minimal, but as the car ages it is important to get proper service to ensure longer vehicle life.Hope this may be helpful to you.

Check with some people you know before you commit to a system. Preferably a trusted gearhead acquaintance or a Mitsubishi mechanic.
Has anyone purchased parts from RoadRace Motor Sports(http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/ralliart.htm)? Can someone share thier thoughts on how it all went?
Hoping the '08 edition will have fine tuned all the bugs and made this car the one to beat.
with no restriction and crazy air flow. I seen gains up towards 40 hp on a dyno on a turbo car.
The cool thing is, it's controlled by a flick of a switch!
I got mine from rolloutedition.com

Gains 200 lbs., no 20" wheels, and definitely loses the magic the Concept had. Could it look more watered-down?
And who's the Dumb-a%$ who built the doors with giant frames in them? None of the sketches have framed doors! :sick:
At least they kept the stick, so it's not a total waste.
But my love affair is over. Next!

If they can address the poor resale value, they may have some conquest sales.
