06 Lancer Ralliart worth modding?

If I could I would buy the Evo8 but nothing available in Toronto and have no plans traveling to buy one either due to the natre of my long hours of work.

I have a 06 lancer ralliart (5speed 4g69) with only 30kms and cant seem to decide if the car is worth modding at all, i am willing to put some good investment on this car if i am convinced if this car has potential or not? anyone with this specific model that has been successful? any advice would be greatly appreciated. thx

p.s when i say i am willing to invest a good amount i mean by adding new suspension, full body kit w/ evo 9 hood and future custom turbo installed.

-Janton

I you he passion for it then do it, it has a lot of different ways you Can go. the 4G69 is a power full single Cam that has shown is great potential to us all... with few or alot of mods.. Now that we have the ability to get re flashes done it opens the door to more proper methods of madness

You could always afford to do a few mods here and there like the basic intake headers and exhaust, or even just get an underdrive pully and timing box. None of these mods are that expensive and are easily reversible. If you have absolutely no intention of keeping the car longer than a year or two, then I say leave it be and save up for a better base like an evo. As to answer your question "Is the ralliart worth modding?", the answer is yes, but you're going to have to pay big to see big gains meaning turbo. Only go there if you really really love your car and are planning on keeping it for a long time. If so then dont begin spending your money on NA mods like first stated.

For what Hackish has done with my car its definitely worth the investment. 250whp only 7psi of boost with no check engine lights my car is a rocket. I don't think there is a kit out there doing this and its only the beginning. Next is bigger injectors and more boost 10psi is next up I should be well over 300whp.....I cant wait to get the track next year and see what this car can do against its bigger brother.

Wow, Dubai has always got the craziest cars. I wasnt expecting them to get a hold of the RA . Thats probably a custom job since most of the other stuff they do over there is. I know you could get one that sorta looks like that from RRM. You would have to paint it in order to look like that though.

The paint is not what I am concerned but rather the hood itself with that smaller scoop on the top right. Yes this car looks badass.
