Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Turbo; Any feedback on this car?
-
Just found out the price drop to $67,888.
Power = 165 bhp, 0-100km/h = 8.8 secs
Was $88K++ when first launch by C&C.
I always luv turbo cars...but to get WRX or EVO installment very siong.
So i considering this 1.8L turbo one.
Heard its GDI engine, so a little less consumption then MIVEC engine.
Any feedback anyone? -
Oh, that one arh, engine always overheat one. You know why they sell it low nowadays right?
-
its fast... really fast... cant compare to the bigger bro la..
but ive seen one chiong b4...
anyway.. to solve the overheating problem, must spend some extra $$ loh..
adding a CF hood wont help.. unless u got air vents.. CF is a poor heat conductor and thus acts as a shield.. CF hood good for weight reduction only..
also.. add a bigger better aftermarket front mount intercooler.. and also a turbo timer..
den... that's all.. maybe spend another.. 3k ontop of that 68k? and btw.. maintaining a turbo car not cheap.. its not just normal oil change.. and filters..
IMO, i rather u get a fast NA car.. i love turbo cars.. but to me, NA cars are better.. power of NA!

165 bhp and 8.8 secs isnt something to shout about for a TC car. The Ralliart Turbo Lancer is a farce for Mitsubitshi. If I am u, I will go NA. In the long term, u would save on maintenance and petrol. If u insist, there is one for sale on sg car mart. check it out.

Actually, The CS5 (ralliart turbo) got 2 things which will deter a potential buyer.
Firstly, the cooling system is not fast enough, therefore for what I know of one of the owner did was change to aftermarket intercooler, not 1 but 2
Secondly, it comes in auto only. I dun think people who buy TC car will want an AT. Heard that its a step tronic.
Power wise, spend a bit more $$. Change the Turbo and re-tune it.
Although the price may be tempting now but for that type of price for that type of specs, would not be worth it. Just my 2 cents~ -
Might as well buy a 2000cc Galant or something.

NA stands for naturally aspirated or normally aspirated. so NA cars do not have turbocharge or supercharge...
NA cars will be like the BMW M3..
unlike ur dream of WRX/EVO.. those are FI cars.. FI meaning forced induction.. such as turbo.. -
However u always have the option of turbo charging an NA vehicle
And wait to get Car impound,license suspened
thank you
