hey mate... i wouldnt mind any help either on stuff to do to my poor slow car.. a bit of a hand on ideas would be great.

i reckon all aussie lancer fans who know of great AUSSIE car sites where you can find prices on parts, how to do up your lancer and any style guide sites should post them here in the australian section.... i find it real hard to find good australian car websites so if you guys know of any good lancer sites post them up.

-cheers

Hey dude

I hear you, I am still searchin the web and cant find anything. I checked out the ssv site you mentioned in one of your postings but it is pretty average. What about ralliart or rallimart, I checked outt heir websites but they are in japanese...

Good luck with your search and I am interested in any results you manage to come across

yeah i went through the yellow pages a few days ago to find more info. the websites listed in their ads are just sites about their contact details. i dont just wanna go to car racing shops or part places to do up my car cause i will just sound like a fool cause i dont know what im talking about...

apparently their is an official ralli art shop oppening in perth ! (where i live)

yeah ssv is a pretty average site... anyway ill keep searching for better sites..

you would think a business in the feild of sport car parts etc could only benefit with a detailed website containing pricing and ordering info....
goood luck on finding sites as well man.

Exclamation MISGSR is right

I think MISGSR is right and mate your car is hot :headbng2: The only way for a real power gain is a transplant however... the 1.8L engine is designed for a bolt on Turbo but even after say 2K worth of mods you only lookin at around 120 to 150 Kw maybe a front cut, check the latest FastFour mag and they identify suppliers in Australia I am thinkin of doin this for around 2and a half or 3K you can pick up alot more power... Not sure about springs etc might need to strengthen the whole chassis.... Anyone know what the Lancer Coupe chassis can take - prob not much...

Be in touch and keep an eye on the papers for parts easiest bargain..
