Okay what i have noticed over the years with 2nr is that when some ppl ask questions, others who know either insult them and give dem real stupid answers or some give them a proper answer and help them out...
i know for a FACT that we were not born with knowledge on cars..we ALL learnt about it...so i tink its fair to help others who wanna learn, LEARN! so ppl...if u new and your a newbie....or u just dont know someting and u wanna ask and u was feeling kinda bad to ask cause u scared ppl laugh at u and make out a scene...DOH STUDY THAT HERE!! we not on them ting...
so allyuh ask anyting allyuh want in here and trust me u will get good answers not answers to insult your question...if anyone come in here under that "making out a man" scene..he guh look like ah big.....******ANYWAYY! lol ...

das wha i talking bout!!
Anyway, my question is: i have a ck4 lancer (iz one like Pretty own), except it basic. real dents and scratches on it from "close encounters" with posts and so forth. I'd like someone to recommend somewhere dat does do bodywork and paintjobs at a reasonable price. Talked to some ppl, and they said how "mitsu is expensive..etc" I figure you all might kno bess where to direct me.
thanx

think he was talkin bout
CVTs have much smoother operation. This can give a perception of low power, because many drivers expect a jerk when they begin to move the vehicle and I guess like in manual cars when u shift u feel it.

I'm a newb when it comes to anythin car related and I only have my current car for a year. I want to buy the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart edition (foreign used) but I aint see de car sellin ANYWHERE in Trini so far. But I've seen it on the road here ONCE about 2 weeks ago.
2 questions:
-How much would that cost?
-And would it be in one of those roll on roll off places, or would I have to find one of dem places to bring it down specifically for me?

I was thinking about this buy as well not too sure though. What do you mitsu folks think about the ralliart lancer ?

by sboo99
Thanks for the links dude, but I'd really like to see what I'm buying (in real life) before I buy it. I don't want to havta order it for them to bring it down first, THEN decide I dont like what I'm paying for. De people sure to cuss meh.
Is there anyplace here that currently have at least ONE in stock? Or does somebody know somebody who have one?

Cool. I'll give dem a call.
Question: My car makes a deep "gonk" noise whenever I go over a steep speed hump, and sometimes when I turning a non-sharp corner. It does also make the noise when I driving on uneven road. At first I thought it had something to do wit the engine mounting, but now I not so sure. Any suggestions on what the problem is?

for those who want the thrill of "Evolution type" performance at a fraction of the price
that is marketing at it's best
I am a MITSU connoisseur - there is no denying that
but to let you in on teh reality of the situation,
the Ralliart Lancer will in absolutely no way give you even the remotest experience of "Evolution type" performance
that is just a load of marketing crap
there is no doubt that it is a beautiful and well performing car, but do not be deceived into thinking that you are buying a "baby" Evo
this car will perform in it's own sporty way
it will be fun to drive and to flaunt
this CS5A is definately a great investment and a rarity on our streets
nothing close to the highly vaunted CT9's though
it's a matter of separating the sheep from teh cows in the brand

Has anyone ever installed a front strut bar on a carburetted CK1 lancer?
Did the strut bar interfere with the stock air filter box? If it did, what was the solution for interference problem.
Thanks.

If I wanted to put in a drop in K&N filter, is it absolutely necessary to change spark plugs?
Posted: April 22nd, 2007, 4:51 pm

^^^^

not 2 my knowledge where did u hear that from>>> cuase well i never heard anyting like that befor3e so.

Just by reading around these forums I assumed so. Seemed like a lot of people change spark plugs when they change filter for some weird reason.
