First and foremost I would like to say that this site is awesome for someone like me, This is my first import and I want gonna mod my old piece of **** so I never got into the modding world - If there is any advice that you all could give (What to get in what order that would be most effective, Preformance wise) That would be great. PLZ avoid acronyms because I probaly wont know what your talking about so plz just explain the mods you suggest (if any) This would be alot of help - thank you

 

Welp first off I'd like to say welcome to the site. This really is a great site and I've learned much from it and hope you will to. Lemme show ya a link...

OZ,ES,LS Upgrade Path for Newbs- ROAD/RACE

People are gonna tell you different things based on their experience and preference. It also matteres a great deal as to wether you want to stay n/a (naturally aspirated) or go for a turbo/supercharger. The best thing to do would probably get a good idea of the products that are available...

All sites to shop online for the US Mitsubishi Lancer oz, ls, and es

Once you see whats out there, try to form an idea of where you're headed and what's most important to you wether it be handling, power, or looks. I'm guessing since you said performance that you'd want to draw more power out of ur lancer but jus startin off...typical bolt ons will do like a cold air intake(if you're manuel) and a short ram intake(if you're an automatic). As for exhausts...it depends on how much you want to spend. There are two great catback exhausts for sale for our lancer (GReddy and Magnaflow) but i've heard of some getting a good universal exhaust from a good company and getting custom piping done at a muffler shop. It all depends how deep ur pockets are.

Another great piece of advice....always search before asking questions! There's already a great deal of info on these forums and it would be a waste for the questions and information to be posted twice.

Anyways with that said..happy moding

 

Well, we don't know what year lancer you have, how bout a year? 2004-2005? or the old style, 2002-2003? I would start of modding with freeing up the exhaust and intake, or save up right off the bat for a forced induction kit such as a turbo or supercharger. I lean more toward the turbo, just because so many people have it, and its proven to be very reliable with the nice complete kits that RRM (Road Race Motorsports) puts together. Suspension mods are always helpful too. The stock suspension is kinda sloppy, so I'd go with a nice set of lowering springs and strut bars. It helps a ton! Its all up to you, give us a little budget and what you are hoping for out of the lancer you just got.

 

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your car. Word of advise in here, use the search feature before asking anything. The folks in here are nothing more than bloodthirsty vultures towards folks that don't use the search feature. They must have skipped newb status when they joined.

 

please don't ask us what intake you should get.

 

if he does ask us. i will kill him and the entire population of southern australia.


please for all of ur ?s use the search button on the top right.... then start a thread... welcome and enjoy ur stay. please feel free to pm me with ?s so u dont get flamed from search freaks like me.

 

My advice is, you bought the wrong car if you want a performance tuner.

 

/\ ouch... brutally honest... I traded my ES for an RA after 7 months... I don't know why I waited so long... but if that's what you like than your idle shall be xtianlancer... he is the ES master... good luck pal...

 

welcome to evom. first word of advice, search before making a thread. good luck modding. feel free to PM me with any questions.

 

I don't think he is looking for a monster speed machine.. but the turbo will make it a really quick econo-box.

 

slow but i look dam good going slow... and i sound even better..plus im comfy.

 

yeah... it's funny how when I had my ES i didn't care how slow it was... I just thought it was cool cause it was my first new car and I had a huge list of mods I wanted to do to it... then I went to the Chicago Auto Show and saw the Ralli//Art and was like holy crap what is that... I talked to the Mitsu rep for about 20 minutes... about 1 week later I went and bought one... like i said above though talk to xtian... he's got a tight a$$ ES... he hangs out in the RA forum...

 

Welcome to the club man good to have you, I notice you are in the Chicago Area so you may want to check this out! Click Here also if you are looking for a first mod I have an almost new AEM cold air intake for sale it is red I am looking for $100 for local pick up. Hope to see you at this weekends meet!
