It's the premade Turbo Specialties extreme turbo kit with Garrett turbo. Well see I plan on making the dealership install my Wiseco pistons and RRM rods. So then after that, I should still wait until like 5,000 miles over to install the turbo?

 

5000 miles? where you get an off the wall number like that... i say get the turbo on there and let the boost (low boost) help break in your new engine

 

My break in period was only 1000 km, so after that you should be good to go. Wait till you get the final bill, unless you have thousands of dollars (in which case why the hell are you driving a lancer?!) I doubt you'll want to install the turbo right afterwards anyways.

 

how retarded was it to run nos on it, and a 55 shot on a newish engine. rofl.

 

The engines hardly new, it was just a foolish thing to do.

 

hes got like 10k on the odo i dont know where he is getting these random *** numbers from

 

I wanted to experiment with it, so I was like F*** it Go Big Or Go Home! Yes, I have the money to fix all of it. I wanted to build a car up straight from bone stock, so that is what I am doing. Lancer??? Yeah, I can agree I kind of regret it now, I could've went with something probably way better but this car you rarely see around where I live. I've only seen two others and they are OZ Rally a yellow and charcoal grey one. The whack numbers are just me being curious.

 

Jeez if I had that kind of money I'd sell my lancer and get something way better, like a WRX or a SRT-4. Sure I love my lancer, its unique and great fun, but you can't argue with the numbers and support that both the wrx and srt-4 have. Experimenting is not a wise thing to do on a new car, you've effectively ruined any chance of selling that car at a decent price now. No one will want a car thats had an engine destroyed on nitrous oxide cause 1. it could have caused more than just engine damage and 2. its a sign of a wreckless (or young) owner who's probably done god knows what else to the car.

 

Actually everything else in the car has been professionally installed. All car audio equipment, TV's, mods, etc... Nitrous buddy did, but he knew what he was talking abour just didn't know the after effects. I'm sure he is glad now we didn't hook it up to his. Yes I am 19 and yes I have done some stupid stuff in my lifetime, that is why I like extreme sports.

 

If all the work was redone though why wouldn't someone want to buy it? That's like starting new again in a way.

 

People don't care about this mod or that, they care about 2 things, price, and how they can lower said price. If I wanted to sell my car right now people could say things like "I don't like the red manifold so take 500$ off" or "the engine sounds funny so take 400$ off" and there's nothing I can do about it. Remember 90% of the population don't change there cars at all, not even the radios, they don't care if the car can do the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, they just want something thats quiet, comfortable, fuel efficient and most importantly, reliable.

 

Point taken. Honestly I am doing all of this for the memories of building a car from nothing to something. My actual dream car for when I am older and possibly alot richer is an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. I'd keep that bad boy the way it is and no work done to it.

 

Thats fine, but I wouldn't get my hopes up, the lancers a nice platform, but it has its limits. Eventually you have to ask yourself whether "the juice is worth the squeeze", is it really worth spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on a car that most people won't recognize, and won't ever earn the respect that the "big boys" (ie Evo, STi, etc.) have received? For me the answer was no, I enjoy modding my car but I'm not doing it to somehow attempt to fulfill some desire to be a pioneer or a leader, I do it because I can't afford anything better. If someone gave me 10000$ tomorrow I'd probably walk right into the dodge/subaru/honda dealership and look at something nicer.

 

same here amby, but this just makes sense.

and i love my lancer i really do! its fun to work on my lil econo box.

 

forget that, 10k I'd pay off my lancer, not owing any money 4 t3h win.
