... and if your looking for something not as pricy, there is much better options aside from a lancer oz. Hell, my buddy has a $10,000 jetta 1.8T with about 2k in mods, pretty quick.
I havent seen any RallyArts around here....and dont know much about them
how much more differnt are they form the OZ?

I just looked up some specs on a 2003 lancer. They've got 120hp 130tq. That is horrible, i mean 1997 pontiac sunfire horrible. 30mpg highway isn't bad. But power wise, man you can do better for the price range you're after. If I had a budget of say, $10,000 I would look for a good priced jetta 1.8T, 2002 and newer are the newer body style. Look up Jetta 1.8T, srt-4, rsx-s, hell any civic with a b or k series engine, they vary in price quite a bit from older-newer. The engines of these cars actually have potential, no offense lancer owners. My buddy had a 2003 1.8t. His power modification consisted of intake, exhaust, a mbc, and a tune. It was faster than his new stock srt-4. Just look around, the oz is really not the best choice.

Yeah, man stay away from lancers if your looking for performance. The Evo's are great if you can afford them. An Integra is a good platform to get started on, for sure.

BTW, If anyone can help a fellow Evo owner, my OEM wheel lock broke and need to borrow someones wheel lock for a day so I can swap out the winters for summers. I believe today May 1st is the cutoff day for studs.

I glady appreciate it
Thanks.
