Hey guys, my first post in this cool place. I discovered this website when I was shopping for a car about a month ago, because of positive feedback from RalliArt owner out there I decided to test drive one out at my local dealer. After driving one I knew I had to get it, a week later I picked up the car. I've had the car for about 3 weeks and put about 1000 miles on it. Car seems to get better everyday and Im very happy with the purchase, it it werent for this website, I've woulded ended up with another Honda Civic!

 

nothing wrong with civics imo, they are just too played out when people try to mod them. In the long run your gonna want that honda resale value over the ralliart's anyday.

 

Here's a picture of my car

 

nice, white or silver? Whats ya plan (modding) if any?

 

See the car next to my RalliArt, its my 91 Civic Hatch a great car. I bought the car 1994 for $5,000 and a guy walked up to me offering me $2000 a few months back, I agree with you on Hondas great resale value. Any way I just wanted a change, I drove a honda for 11 years.

 

Its Silver, I plan on going clean look by dropping it about an inch with Tein springs. As far as mods I think ill hold for now, not enough mods out right now except for RRM Products, I like to keep my options open

 

Moving to Newbie Forum.

 

Why did you move this thread from RallyArt section to Newbie?

 

^^^ because these type of post belong in the newbie forum because your new, get enough post (i dont know how many exact) and you can drop post in the ralli-art forum

 

welcome.. have a blast here

 

Welcome and enjoy the car!

 

welcome...its looking nice

 

Welcome to the Lancer family!

I know you said no mods for now, but just in case you change your mind...

Two of the best mods you can do right now are CAI and short throw shifter kit.

For the shifter kit, lancershop.com has a great deal ($109) for a shorty kit with all the bushings for the base and under the hood (its labeled EVO8 but it will fit).

There are other shorty kits out there that will work, but that one is the best deal in my opinion.

CAI is a little more limited in choices right now. You have a choice between RRM and Injen. Its rumored that AEM is working on one, but its not available yet.

These two mods are well worth the money.

Another item is the stock tires. depending on how aggressively you drive, you might want to consider upgrading those to a performance tire.

And finally the transmission fluid. If your shifting feels a bit "off", try upgrading to the BG oil off lancershop.com. It makes a difference in performance & feel.

Take some time to look around this site, there is lots of really good information and feedback on the different upgrades and modifications people have done.

Happy Motoring.

 

Still waiting for AEM cold air, im in NYC and it gets wet during the winter season, I'm looking forward to AEM cold air because their the only one that have the bypass valve. I dont want to have to mod RRM cold air just to put in bypass valve...
