Discuss Ralliart's impact on OZ/ES
 

When I was watching the webcast, I noticed when he was talking about Ralliart coming stateside, he mentioned people tuning thier own cars. I know alot of parts are interchangable between the EVO and the OZ/ES, but does anyone think Ralliart will focus any on the lower OZ/ES lancers?

I hope so that way i can mod my oz to compete with the big dogs

I'm sure OZ/ES/LS will have ralliArt Parts...I'm guessing parts similar to the ones from them on the Creative Motorsports website. There was mention of a RalliArt Edition Lancer in his speech too....we can vampire parts off that too.....big things on the way....

Thats what I was hoping. SO many creative sports parts I want. :yum:

if you check out the ralliart website they already have Lancer Cedia parts...im sure the first thing they will try to do is see if any of those parts will be interchangeable with the US spec lancers... if anything Ralliart has a bodykit for the cedia that im sure will fit our cars...well atleast i know the front bumper and sideskirts will fit... {thumbup}

i'm sure they'll be doing the same with all the mitsu models the mirage,monteros, eclipses etc. i wont be surprised when ralliart comes out they'll be retro fitting previously made parts for our US Mitsu's. Performance wise i think the Mirage will have some strong product backing since the Mirage Mivecs are very close in chassis,suspension and motor setup to the Mirages we have here in the US.

The Mirage has been cancelled. I doubt you will see any Ralliart support for it from official Ralliart sources. Unless you can order anything they've ever made for it. Ralliart's role will be to help Mitsubishi sell new cars and parts to go on those new cars. If they make anything for old model Mitsus, it would probably only be for Eclipses and maybe 3000's. But, I hope I am wrong.

This is sooo EXCITING!!! I can't wait for these products to come out. I can finally compete with the other cars on base!!!!

The statements in the webcast made it sound like Ralliart parts would be available for the existing Lancers.

i know the mirage has been discontinued. Ralliarts goal is to help sales and they will...if they start offering parts for the Mirage,Montero and other Mitsu vehicles im sure they will boost sales up especially in the Montero and Mirage areas there are so many Montero and Mirage tuners out there that would kill to get their hands on some Ralliart parts. I've also recently noticed a huge Galant group picking up in my area about 5 or 6 cars deep im sure theres a bunch more galant tuners out there.

...during the webcast they mention the Ralliart Parts division will be offering ralliart parts for people wanting to tune their own mitsu with ralliart parts. I'm sure they will have products for older model vehicles. The mirage has a ton of performance backing...especially the Mivec versions im sure ralliart will have these products available for tuners.

I had posted a few months back that the Ralliart Edition Lancer was going to be coming this fall when the Lancer gets updated. Most I think did not believe me.

Hah!

In addition to suspension stuff it will feature the new, bigger 4-banger motor that will make its debut in the 04' Galant and Outlander.

Here's one down side to this, If Ralliart is going to be selling there products through the Mitsu Dealership think on how high the thier markup is going to be. I meen look at RRM prices, I just hope that the Mitsu Dealership will see that were not rich and made out of money.

In the webcast they said somthing along the lines of offering parts for every model, old and new.

It will be a while till they do parts. Expect them to offer RalliArt Edition cars. They will have control of things that way. I talked to Mitsu and those who know expect a lot of problems for Ralliart. They are afraid of American lawyers etc. They will actually have to ride a learning curve for a while and don't expect stuff to be cheap!

And to be honest, if RalliArt was going to make parts for U.S. spec Mitsubishis, it will probably be nothing more than bolt-ons and even suspensions, don't expect anything too big such as forced inductions or engine internal parts. They know how U.S. dealers like to void warranty on aftermarket parts, so they won't make anything too risky :mad:

damn that sucks I was hoping to go all out
