Let's say, and I'm purely dreaming right here, how much do you think it would cost to put everything on my car listed below, and how much faster do you think it would go??

Tein Coilovers
RRM Camber kit
RRM Front and Rear Strut Bars
RRM Rear Sway Bar and AutoCross Perches
Brembo Slotted Rotors
Kevlar Brake Pads
RRM Front LSD
RRM Pressure Plate and Clutch
Injen Cold Air Intake
GReddy Catback Exhaust
Magnacore Spark Plug Wires
RRM Header
RRM Bored Throttle Body
RRM Intake Manifold
RRM Forged Pistons
Pauter Rods
RRM Front Mounted Intercooler
RRM Intercooled Turbo
RRM Piggyback ECU

Whew, that was alot, if there's anything missing lemme know (Other than show and shine stuff, thats totally seperate)

 

$500. Oh wait, I'm dreaming too.

I got an idea, pull out that little thing called a calculator, open up your browser, type in www.roadracemotorsports.com, and put those little fingers to use.

 

By quickly adding it up, I got roughly $11,500. Obviously, add shipping and install for the true cost. Assuming you'd then strip the car for weight reduction and get some good tires, you're looking at 12s or 13s.

 

if u turn the boost up to about 13 or 15 PSi im guessing you could run a mid to high 12 (with stripping everything down for weight reduction).

 

with boost at 13 - 15 you would be running mid to low 12's if you could get traction.

and assuming your not an automatic.

 

if u are gonna spend 15K+ on a car why not buy a better car? no offense i love my lancer and plan on boosting...and im sure RRM would be mor ethan happy to sell u all there parts...but u can install 3/4 of that urself pretty easily....

i would of just bought a better car..u r dreaming anyways right?

 

^^^ either an evo buyer or soon to be

 

lol, a whole lott, JUST BUY AN EVO!!!! CUS LANCERS SUCK!!! lmao, a few of you will know what im talking about

 

Like I said, dreaming, damnit. And for the ******* that decides they like to bash people that don't make a high income and probably have mommy and daddy that bought their car (and if u didn't good for you, some people haven't hit the career stage of their life, some are still in school and still just working at jobs) We can't afford the overpriced death trap you call an EVO. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car, but if I were to spend that much money I'd go with a Subaru STi, I just like the way it looks and I've always loved Subarus, since the 2000 2.5 rs that wasn't even turbo. Needless to say I don't plan on spending that much on my car, ever. I was wishful thinking, and like the title says for ****s and giggles.

 

That would be an AMAZING! SET UP! lol.

i would love to spend that much money just like u but untill one day when im really rich ** haha hopefully not a dream** i will never be able too.

But you gots the right idea for what you wanna do when you win the loto tomorrow night

 

haha call me crazy but if i ever were come up on a large amount of cash... i would probably finish all the mods and then some i had planned for my lancer before buying an evo or whatever else i decide

 

True. It's sad to see Lancer owners saying "just get an Evo." Especially when we have the RRM drag Lancer to show what is possible. If someone buys a Lancer and mods it, good for them. Part of the fun is making the car yours, not buying something already set up. That's why half of us are here - because we enjoy making our cars our own.

 

i wonder how much an evo 8 engine swap would cost?? or a evo7 engine?

 

Don't even go there. It's been asked a thousand times. It would cost a lot, and you'd still have FWD... and before you even think it, don't go there either. It's been asked 2 thousand times, and it would cost a lot more.

 

Well, the good news is that you dont need a few of things you mentioned such as the autocross perches or the FMIC. The RRM IC Turbo includes the FMIC (at least it did last time I checked). Isn't it easier and cheaper to have the ECU remapped vs getting a piggy back?

Another thing I noticed is that no one who owns an evo told you to get one. The best car of someone that posted was the OZ, so thanks, but we're not *******s.
