What I was told about my lancer es
What I was told about my lancer es
So I asked for advice with my Lancer ES when it came to the exhaust system to improve the car performance and make it sound a bit better. The day I finally found someone to install the parts I decided to go car shopping to see if I could get an EVO cheap. What stopped me from getting the EVO was I couldn't find one.
I did find a Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 with Nav for $11K, but the car had flood damage, so I walked away from that mistake waiting to happen. Than today after taking the dogs out to the dog park I decided to stop by the local Export used car dealership that had a used VW Passat GLX Wagon VR6 4 motion. When I was looking at that car I noticed the car I ended up buying.
I bet most of you are thinkin, EVO. No. It would have been nice, but no. What was there was a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero Combisport with the 2.8 Turbo V6. This car can easly be tweaked. A simple tune gives it around 70whp gains; almost as much HP as the Lancer ES has stock.
Yeah Saab is kinda out of business but this car moves and boy does it. It is sad to see the Lancer go, my daughter said I tore part of her heart out (she grown up only with this car since we bought it when she was around 1), but it was time to move onto a car that suits my age and actually moves when you hit the gas.
Thoughts on my recent Lancer depature...
Now I definitely have some exhaust parts for sale...

stock turbo cars are easy to make more power cause you can lean it out or just increase boost...nothing special...I do very much like the saab 93 body stylings, i actually almost bought one before i got my Ralliart but it was out of my price range at the time, and the Ralliart had good torque and handling, with enough power to feel it moving, for a much lower price...congrats on the buy
