RRM Turbo installed/completed
Besides, again I only paid $16k for my GTS and a little over $4k for the turbo kit. Thats only $20k. Price that compared to the RA. I think it was a well investment.

so those paddle shifters are also on the MR, a car that cost more thn 2x as much as a brand new GTS..theyre also on audis, 120k mercedes, even the ferrari. so i dont really see anything wrong with it..
my lancer is CVT and for a DD its great being able to shift when you want and not having to worry about a clutch.
and serious i see what your saying about how you got your car for 16 and spent however much on it being less than a RA but thats not the way to really say you got a better value or necessesairly a good investment ..thats just like someone finding an 06 Si for 15 and get a 5k turbo kit and have 300whp and say my value is better..or even buying a 300zx TT for 10k and putting 8k of mods and push a **** load of power.. and just being like why get an evo, a good investment is a personal opinion to every person. theres some people like me who dont think its such a good investment to turbo a lancer..and theres some people who do think it is..its just a personal opinion

true manual FTW!
LUDA: You are looking at it totally wrong. If you want to compare Civics, then fine.
2009 Civic: $15k + a $4k turbo is only $19k with 250-300 hp.
2009 Civic Si: $22k and 197 hp
The regular cheaper Civic with a turbo was cheaper and a better investment.
My car, putting down the same hp as a stock RA, was cheaper. How would you not consider that a great investment. Especially if I am happy with the hp I have. The only time the RA would have been a better investment is if I wanted to push it even more in the hp area. Because we all know the market is aimed for the RA and Evo.
