ok, well before you go starting to make yourself look like a dick, im going to point out something that i just realized, i said that ^ for a reason. it's called "how many 11 second srt-4's do you see on the road" i'll let you know, i've never seen one with my own eyes. give your friend a high five for me tho.

 

i do agree with that **** tho, that's f@&%ed up

 

Dude, you have a lighting yellow ralliart with a carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber lip kit, carbon fiber HIGH spoiler and other things, you stand out like michael jackson at the million man march,

Granted being parked is kinda weird to get a ticket

If you really want, get the SRT4, but if you plan to mod it (or even in stock form)... be prepare to get hassle by the cops, unfortunely its just part of having a tuner car.

 

Other than the headlights, I don't think it's that bad:



485hp/500tq the last time it was dynoed. Not bad at all.

EDIT:

Right. And how many turboed RAs do you see driving around? I haven't seen any with my own eyes. I'm sure they're out there, though.
Will do.

 

eh, i've seen worse, like my friends orange one, but i'll agree that that is at least tastefull, it's just that i don't really like the cars, maybe its my friends driving but anytime im in it i feel like its going to just veer itself off the road, it feels so unstable, w/e tho that's not bad however, if i owned a ralliart, i would much rather boost it than buy an srt-4, just my .02

that intercooler looks photoshopped

 

Don't turbo the Ralliart, its pointless, just buy the SRT4.
1. The Ralliart Engine isn't made to handle high boost (low boost is fine), you'll have to upgrade the internals and lower the compression ratio to up the boost. $$$
2. The Ralliart tranny won't be able to handle all that power in the long run, which means you'll have to do tranny work in the future. $$$
3. The Rallliart engine is a SOHC as opposed to a DOHC engine in the SRT4.
4. The SRT4 has a closed deck iron block engine made to handle a lot of power, the Ralliart has???? exactly
5. The SRT4 has a tranny made to handle 500 WHP easy ...
6. The SRT4 comes with better brakes $$$
7. The SRT4 comes with a better tuned sport suspension $$$
8. The SRT4 will have a warranty and you're turboed Ralliart won't .... if something breaks you have to fix it $$$
9/ The SRT 4 comes with a LSD in the front diff, the Lancer has ??? an open diff ...
10. The SRT4 can be upgrades with MOPAR stage kits to be made much faster ...

In the long run its financially sensible to get the SRT4 ....
But ultimately its up to you ....

 

if i get a srt-4 its going 2 be stock except a factory mopar bov. heres the one i want
-2005 srt-4 ACR Edition






a white one would be so low key and just take off the wing. But i have too wait 3 weeks too find out if i can trade in my car or not . but it i do i will be doing a massive part out .

You should now by now that when you ask a question like that; Turbo'd Neon, on a Mitsu. board YOU are gonna get FLAMMED!!!!

 

You think that's bad, my brother's got an old '95 base model. I borrowed it for a week last Spring so I could get to work while I decided what to do about the untimely death of my old car. I ended up replacing the tires, struts, and tie rod ends, and getting the car aligned. It felt like it was going to rattle itself right off the highway.

It's just been blacked out. It stuck out too much when it was shiny.

EDIT: Here's a pic of the IC before the blackout:

 

It's the only color I like on those cars.. lol

 

Dont buy an SRT4 they are crap. I had one for about a year and traded in like someone had stated. I only had about 20000 mi on it and this is the stuff that went out on it:
1. A/C went out about 8 times
2. The interior started to rip on the driverside seat
3. The driverside axle was starting to go out
I guess it would quilify for the "lemon law" but the dealership was pretty sneaky about getting around that. They would put on the reciepts that each problem was different everytime I would take it in. There is also one factor that most people dont know about the SRT4 and that is the engine is made and assembled in Mexico.

 

Id personally go for the srt-4. Alls youd have to do is spend a couple grand on beefing up the suspension and youve got a helluva car. Plus the srt4 would be under warranty. Plus in the long run youd be spending a lot less than you would if you turbo'd the RA.

 

1. To an extent true, but the RA comes with 9.5.1 compression, it's not the super low... but does the job just fine, you have to put into account "MIVEC", which is a reason why it's at that high of a compression level.

2. Turbo Tech PR 500whp Ralliart: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=102715

3. True

4. I believe it's aluminum

5. See #2

6. True, but you can upgrade.

7. Negative, do your research

8. True

9. But, that's $$$

 

Actually, our engine is a closed deck iron block, with an aluminum head.

 

Thanks, I knew something was aluminum

Personally, get a wrx or evo RS or a used EVO... better starting platform. If your going stock, than the SRT4 is a good buy, but c'mon... whos leaves a turbo car stock?

Seems like you want straight line speed, and if that's the case... the SRT4 is gonna get you waaaaaay more into trouble than your ralliart. OC sucks *** when it comes to cops, I know... ive had my fair share with them, lol.

Remember, ull still get pull over. I suggest you get the Mini S (like you said in a past thread) very low key, quick car... the styling is great and cops won't think twice seeing you on the streets. There are a few out here that are pretty dam sweet looking.
