Somewhat newbie

Hey everybody. Im a newbie here. Well..more like to Mitsubishi Lancers.
Ive owned Hondas for the past 10 years. Well into them but decided to change it up a bit. Had a Mazda 6 and traded it in for my 2004 white Lancer RA.
So far...loving it!! but its an Auto...oh well..close enough

Anyways..i guess im first questions are..
How N where can i find a turbo for the car being an automatic?
Planing to add an CF hood and some rims.

Can i put 18s on my car with no problems or is it just better to go with 17s??

thanks for the help

18's can fit, but 17's are your best bet. They're the best compromise between looks and performance. RRM makes auto turbo kits and I believe they're the only ones at this point. You'd have to call them for more details.

Welcome

Welcome buddy

As otter said, took the words right out my mouth

Most of us RA members go 17s, both looks and peformance are

RPW hasn't done an auto kit yet and would probably need to fit it onto your car. being they're in Australia that might not be worth it for you.

give RRM a call they have the kit and the CF hood.

True, shipping will be a bomb for you unless of course you don't mind.

They do make quality turbo kits though, so it shouldn't hurt to check them out.

the whole turbo kit is about $4200US
if you're not looking to spend that much just start with intake exhaust pulley things like that. roadracemotorsports.com if no one mentioned it yet.

17's are perfect.

18's make the car stance funny because its not wide and it does not have fender flares.

is about 6000 USD, which is a lil more expensive than RRM, but has more potential given how it is constructed, if u want just a bolton and boost, go RRM, but for future upgrading and power go RPW.
