Hey man, don't down us because we want a car that's monsterously fast like the Evo but don't have the finanses. And no, the Ralliart is not just a Lancer with a couple Ralliart mods. It has a 2.4L 162hp MIVEC engine, sports-tuned exhaust, a front anti-sway bar with a 26mm diameter, a front strut tower brace, sports-tuned suspension, and 10.9in. front and 10.3in. rear disc brakes. The Lancer ES has a 2.0L 120hp engine, normal exhaust, the front anti-sway bar is only 24mm diameter, no front strut tower brace, normal suspension, and 10.1in. front disc brakes and 8.0in. rear drum brakes. I hope this shows you the difference between a Lancer Ralliart and a Lancer ES. And everything is already about the Evo. You guys have just too much to choose from. We just want someone besides RRM (who is doing a great job and we thank very much) to help us out with OUR car.

 

Yea i am happy that they mentioned Ralliart but all i see is Evo's. They will prolly be exterior and interior stuff, i doubt any heavy engine stuff like a turbo kit or cams are made my ralliart.

Really? You mean a trunk badge and floormats?

Ralliart did nothing for the lancer ralliart (stateside wise). It's just the name for the car. We should expect ralliart parts, hell we drive there tuned car as mitsu calls it. There is not one product from RALLIART, that is made or design for the 4G69 MIVEC. Complain about paying prices for JDM ralliart parts, atleast you can use the parts for the car. I wouldnt mind paying high prices for authentic ralliart parts to fit the lancer ralliart. Nismo makes intakes, headers, exhausts, cams etc. for the specV, so why can't ralliart?

Anyways, bringing ralliart to the states is more press/market for the evo, it will do nothing for the lancer ralliart market. I take that back... you could by another badge for your trunk,

 

You forgot the 5 lug rotors as opposed to 4 lug on base Lancers. The RA and EVO are the only 2 lancers to get both 4 wheel disc brakes and 5 lug rotors. Plus I really don't think he was hating on the RA, it's a pretty good description (except for the 2.4l) or what the RA is and was supposed to be, a middle ground between the base Lancer and the Evo.

 

sweet! that will be good..... for everyone

 

Mitsubishi announced yesterday at SEMA that they are indeed bringing Ralliart parts to the U.S. The website www.ralliartusa.com is the first in a series of steps to get the process started. They are starting with some of the JDM-engineered Ralliart parts that will fit the U.S. Lancer Evolutions and will then branch into specific U.S. designed and engineered parts for the Evo and other vehicles applications such as the new Eclipse. Thanks !

 

someone call mitsubishi and tell them to turbo the 07 RA and then i would have no complaints and the only difference from the evo would be awd

 

Drivetrain wise that would be the only difference.

 

Is there a time frame for these parts?

 

None was given. I remember Nissan taking well over a year to get Nismo launched. Usually these programs are launched on a very low budget and with limited staff support, so it takes longer to get up and running. Let's hope for the best though.

 

They probably will not make anything for our car... we got enough out there already, why pay for overpriced factory parts... don't get me wrong I would like to see more stuff but as it was said above, I'm not gonna hold my breath...

 

First of all this thread is in the wrong section. It's not about the Lancer Ralliart it's about the Mitsubishi Ralliart parts. Moderator can you please put this in the proper section.

That being said, Mitsubishi's Ralliart manager here in the U.S. told me they would be bringing in some of the JDM Ralliart parts that fit the USDM Evolutions first. Then probably they will work on some unigue parts for the both the Evo and for the Eclipse (which is a U.S. only product). After that who knows...

Visit the www.ralliartusa.com website and leave them some e-mails with your requests.

 

why? there are tons of threads on this in the evo section already, they're talking about RA's getting some ralliart parts i dont see why that would go into the evo section

 

I never said anything about putting it in the Evo section, please reread my post.
And while there are posters talking about RA's on this thread, it's titled RalliartUSA, which to me, includes all vehicles and not just RA's. Heck do what you want with it, I really don't care. You guys get so combative over nothing...I'm done contributing to this thread.

 

than what section would that be? certainly not base lancer or other cars, nor future evo, def. not off-topic
