If you had 5k to spend on your lancer....

after all the mods i have done so far. Turbo. but if it was before my mods i would deff do rims and lower the car first, tint, window visors, upgrade sound system if you want of get headers intake and exhuast

 

then your ready for a turbo...

 

If i had $5,000 smackers to spend i would put it towards my cars payments i wouldnt have to worry about it for a while

 

if i had 5k to spend, i would selll my lancer and use the 5k and the additional money to get that RA.....

 

+1 /\.. the ralliart i beautiful! lol

 

yea i would l love the ra but you could build one sick lancer

 

IF you really have that much money to put down right now, ill say you do w/e the hell you want wit hit. Thats alot of money to waste based on other peoples opinions, speciially if they dont even know what your looking for.

That being said, if it were MY car and i had that much money, then id go with headers/turbo, since those are the only things im really missing. Your car on the other hand is different, cuz you probly have different goals than i did.

All in all, do what you feel is more apropriate from you. Just remember none of us are gonna have to live with any bad decisions you make. And not everyone will agree with any one same opinion.

 

I would sell my lancer and get something better

 

Your answer relies completely on who is being asked. I know that my 09 gts is never gonna be a speed deamon but it can become a beast in the twisties!!! Suspension Suspension Suspension and better breathing (i.e. intake and exhaust)! There's my route... what road will you take?

 

ill save up a little bit more and trade my lancer for an X

 

If I had $5,000 it'd go straight on my credit cards to pay them off haha but since that's not what you asked, here's what I'd do with $5,000.

CF Hood
Sound System
Rims
Exhaust
CAI
and if I somehow found another $4,000 a Turbo

So far my car has:
SRI
Painted Engine
Underglow
Xenon Headlights
Xenon Headlight Strobes
Blue interior neons
Graphics down the sides

 

You finally did em? lets see em!

 

You'll have to wait my friend! I'm doing an "unveiling" at a car meet on Oct. 5th. I'll be doing a mini photoshoot then. Be patient!

 

ahh...5k, i litteraly just got one of those dumb peices of garbage mail saying i was qualified for 5k. No yolk. What do you guys think? Go for it? And see if i get the 5k, or no? But if i got it...
Wait for a turbo for the CVT most likely
Maybe trade for RA
or get a bunch of add ons like headers...my list so far, recaro seat, SRI, axel back, Tenzo rims, pully

I would spend some on engine upgrades, like a crank pulley and new headers, and maybe some other stuff for some more power. As for the rest i would spend on a sound system and body work such as, underglow lights, suspension, graphic, and rims and tires. thats just my opinion though, everyone is going to be different!

 

You kno i completly forgot.

A cheap and effective way to raise HP w/o turbo is hte piggy back, and from what ive heard its VERY successful. If you dont wana go turbo, you could get all the ohter NA mods, get that piggy, and do some body work. Youll even have some money left over for rims and stuff. Run a budget with all the stuff you can do. Start with the smallest thing and work your way up.

 

with 5K

turbo hands down....

and the turbo is prob gunna sit in the garage for a bit cause it prob costs another 3-4K 2 install and tune it

dam...... rofl

 

Wheels
Suspension
Tires
Exhaust
