How can i beat a lancer

[BensAccordLxi]

I think you should race the Lancer regardless. If you win, cool, if you get your ass handed to you, it'll get you motavated more to get shit done to your car. I did that, now I have a B16 and I whoop on those people I used to race.

[SiCReX]

ummm the guy me and my girl bought the crx from bought a brand new lancer and I raced it in my car, they are pretty fucking slow!

[safeel]

[safeel]

[safeel]

[anchovies]

The lancer in US is pretty wimpy. Stripped down of what a real mitsubishi evo is all about.

You could get your cam reground. Join that group buy for colt cams. That will give you a nice boost in power for under $200.

[SiCReX]

I thought cam regrinding was expensive...???

[smufguy]

yo project lxi, the torque is not 144 ft-lbs its 122 ft-lbs for a 88-89, if thats what ur talkin about.

Dude dont waste your money, I came to the conclusion an accord is a fantastic car for what it is, but unless you want to spend serious $$$$ you just won't get the performance you want for the money your talking. It's not a car that can be modded that cheaply i'm sorry to say.

I bought my new car just last week, 5spd Turbo, stock the car its about 125kw and pulls a 15 point something 1/4 mile running stock.

In a drag it'd smoke most the accords (bar Juans, & Justins mean machines ) on here, and a decent number of the cars in my town. It cost me$1000AU which I could've used to get my engine worked, ignition, cam, port & polish, etc...and it still wouldn't have gotten me near the performance i got stock on my Starion.

My next plans is to get the motor rebuilt + turbo rebuilt or just a whole new setup from japan, either way....or i'll then have to do is wind the boost to 13psi which the engine can handle with some minor fuel delivery upgrades and i'll be laughing.

Point been though do, if you want something fast and cant afford to mod what you got, then simply just save your $$$ and get something that's already fast and can be easily modded.

[89accordboi]

hahahahaha this thread was so long ago, i've been working on my car the last few days and i have learned SOOOOO MUCH its crazy!! i love it!

[modu03]

uh... lancers aren't much as far as racing goes... I've beat a few in my car.

I don't know how well they take to upgrades, but stock their slow.

the ones I've raced only had minor upgrades, intake, exhaust.

and uh, the guy with the 1983 JA Starion turbo 5spd... your only running fifteens with a turbo charged vehicle, even stock that's sad

[pimp86LX]

Buy a CHEVY

Hey, since you like chev ill let ya in on this. Im saving up for a car of my uncles. (was my pop's but he sold it to my uncle)

its a 51' Chevy Deluxe. Original straight six, 3spd on the tree. It will probably be a couple years before i can afford it. But i plan on making it streetable. (modern suspension & newer and bigger engine. It would be nice to keep the old 6 but its pretty beat. I figure i'll just pull it, rebuild 'er and sell it

can you imagine a 51' deluxe as a daily driver?!?!...oh man gettin a chub just thinkin about it.

It looks like this But its green.



ohya...to get back on topic. Who cars if this jerk talks smack. Just be satisfied in the fact your a bigger man than he is.


EDIT: wow i didn't realize how old this thread was.......so who won the race anyway!?!?!??!?!?

[smufguy]

I've taken one or two lancers, but the base models... the OZ rally editions alone have beaten me.

And have you ever driven a Mitsu Starion/Dodge Conquest? It's like the pre-DSM DSM... they had relatively underpowered engines, 2.6 Litres that pump out only 145 hp to the rear wheels, they weren't really all that quick.

If you got a later model Conquest/Starion, the Intercooled Turbo 2.6 pushed 185 hp, they were better down the track.

[86AccordLxi]

That's weird...since all the lancers have the same hp rating...OZ just means it has some factory body kit, different guages and floormats.

Must've been a better driver than the other two Actually, it looked like he had a manual, I could see him shift. The two I beat looked automatic.. or they left their car in the same gear the entire way.

[88LXiHB]

Lancer = Lancer
Lancer Evolution = Evo


Get it right.

[johndej]

i beat one of the OZ ones in my accord in an auto cross. i was suprised it was in the same class as an 89 accord untill i realized they weren't too quick at all.

[88LXiHB]

The regular Lancers have 120hp, they are worthless.
