hey i just recently bought a 02 oz rally (automatic unfortunantly) and was wondering if there were any reasonable mods that can help my overall hp out cuz right about now it seems like im gunna be stuck with around 112 hp for life.

just use the search button and you'll find out tons of stuff. with a lancer "decent" is a very relative term. first post what you want out of your car, and then people will prob be able to help more. congrats on the purchase though!

welcome to evoM, theres enough info on this question to fill about a dozen novels >=) check www.roadracemotorsports.com and be done with it >=)

Auto tranny, try <105 whp. Best mod hands down (besides F/I) is the Spilt Second V.2 piggy.

I'll let you know.....I have an 02,(5 spd) and I just dropped it off with Rock this evening, and when I pick it up this weekend, I'll have a bunch of goodies installed.

Stage 1 Clutch
Alminum Flywheel
Clutchline
Pulley
Short RAM intake
Short Shifter
Highflow CAT
Axleback Exhaust

Stay Tuned....

def go check out www.roadracemotorsports.com it doesn't get much better than that great parts/ customer service

hey everyone thanks for the replies, i come to terms with the slowness as ive read many times that the only way to get any real power is going FI which with an auto tranny i really cant afford to do. i was hoping though to be able to make a few mods that would get me around the 175 hp range, i was thinking maybe a intake and headers to start off with but wouldnt know exactly where that would get me and where to go from there, any ideas?

check this site as well. Its a company based in USA (Accolade) that brings RPW's parts over from Aus. Great stuff there as well. N/A is a money pit from what ive read.

Intake
ported throttle body
ported intake manifold
header
high flow 2.25" exhaust
aluminum pulley
Piggyback
light weight wheels (if you want some looks and some accel)
Great tires
Coilovers.

That is kinda what im planning on doing. to start off with at least. I know people can add and if you search you will find a lot of info.

turbo. the end.

yeah, think. 5grand and u could get 200whp. WOOT!

^^^Or you could spend 5000$ on NA and be at 140 hp.

Yeah, dont make that mistake.

REPPEN AUTO N/A 4LIFE!!

NA definitely has its advantages (don't need to run 91 or 93 octane for one) but for peak power I think turbo really is the only option. It all depends on how deep your wallet is and how great your desire is to make a lancer reasonably fast.

This has been pretty well covered.
