because i cant afford $700 a month car payment and $400 a month insurance.

plus this should be a nice project for me


it may come to more than $10k but not to much more i don't think. im def doing all the performance stuff and the exterior stuff is optional

 

Gentlemen, please keep this on topic. I have weeded out several off topic post about you should buy an EVO. The thread is not about that. The thread is about ideas for a Lancer.

 

the plan sounds very ambitious.. GET IT DONE!!.. and remember post billions of pics.. i guess we will be building our Lancers at the same time.. GOOD LUCK..

 

thanks. hopefully i will have the cash. if A2 goes down the tube (which look likely) then i'm gonna be stuck, theres no way i will be able to stay under $10K if i have to get all the stuff from RRM, my list will be cut in half.

 

What about just straight-up two-toning it?

Atleast, that's what I'm doing. I've got some candies I've been wanting to tryout at work - whynot use them on my vehicle. (Re: don't have one yet, looking for a wrecked one)

 

hmm.. why dont you just save up to buy a bunch of the parts at once.. im pretty sure RRM will cut you a deal if you buy about $500-$600.. its worth a try..

 

yeh maybe, we will see how much money i have by the end of summer. i will email rrm my list of crap i want to do and see if he can quote me a good price.

 

NEW PLANS:

Performance
RRM Stage 2 Turbo Kit- $5000 (approx)
RRM LSD- $999
RRM Pistons & Rods- $1500
Possibly take my car to a shop and have them port IM/TB/FR & P&P heads -$???
Custom Cat Back- $150
Transmission cooler- $80

Suspension:
RRM Sway Bar & Perches- $229
RRM Front Strut Bar- $79
Tein Basic Coilovers from RRM- $899

Exterior:
Evo 8 Spoiler & Accolade Evo9 rear bumper- $400 (approx)
JDM Cedia Front Bumper- $600 (approx)
Tail Lights- $160

Comes out to roughly $11,000
assuming $1,000 for shop to P&P everything


What does everyone think of that for plans? Anything you think I could do without? Anything you think i should add to that list?

Also what power do you think i will be getting out of that. HP wise? and also track times? (roughly)

I'm looking for feedback as i've started major saving.



since my orig list i've already gotten:
new wheels & tires
pulley
Engine Damper
Rear Trunk Bar
Black headlights & reflectors
Red Interior Lights

 

add coilovers to your suspension

 

x2.. other than that.. good luck..

 

i will probably put coilovers on, it all depends on how much money i will have. we shall see
