Now this prospectively purposeful post will get clouded by jackasses like you stating that this guy is wasting his time. Here's a novel idea: let HIM decide what is a waste of HIS OWN time, and not someone else with an opinion. And instead of bringing him down, let's try some ENCOURAGEMENT for a change.
Well then what are you talking about? For an economy car, the lancer is pretty good, it shows good torque and decent handling. Its not a sports car, and its not a luxury sedan, its an economy car that can be made just that extra bit faster. This is the same thing as those american muscle boys who walk around going "oh its made by those short fellers over there in that japan so it can't hold a candle to my camaro", but I'm sure the STi and Evos drivers would take offense to that.

the car was done right it was all rrm and installed at a shop. sir slow alot how is that owning me when your car can't even measure up performance wise. the turbo was 3100 plus pistons plus labor thats about 4300 the rest was cosmetic or strut bars etc..

Now here's a guy that wants to go N/A and is willing to do the hard work involved. Mad props to him for doing something different. This car modding stuff isn't about doing what everyone else is doing, but being different.
