Flood replacement Anonymous 2016-09-23 16:11:24 Post No. 15874832 [Report] [View this topic]

Got a 2015 Lancer GT (please don't judge) after my WRX flooded last month.

What kinds of mods can I install that makes this thing less slow?

Help me /o/!

Why would you buy such a hunk of shit? Is it even a manual? You just bought a car from 2015 that was unchanged since 2008. Why not just get a clean earlier one for cheap or a different car for the amount you spent.

So I believe with the RX-9 possibly coming up, the RX-7 is going to suffer from extreme meme tax. What car do you think will fall victim next /o/?

Dude, FDs start at $20k here in Australia. I saw a Bathurst model going for $50k at one point. That's mental money already, I can't see it going any higher.

If you guys can pick up FDs for less than that then you're really lucky so fuck you.

RX-8s on the other hand are starting to get cheap. Last I looked there were a few $10k examples so they've got a lot of room for prices to climb.

When is it time to say good bye?

I love my RX7 FD, but a N54 BMW (135i or 335i) in my region is similar $$s, 50% more power, and a decade newer. My FD has been reliable enough, I enjoy working on it, but it only has basic power mods, it dynoed in at 170kw. Sure I could spend $10k and do a modern single turbo and get myself decent power but a 135i will do 250kw with just a piggyback ecu. Seems silly to spend so much money on power when its easily accessible in a more modern vehicle. But the 135/335 will never have the presence or beauty of the FD.

You will regret it forever, you will try to convince yourself it was the best option, you will tell friends and family that the new car is fantastic.

But you will regret the decision because even if you buy anything FD one day it will never be THAT FD

Did Chrysler ever make good cars?
I like their 70's muscle cars just as much as any other red-blooded American, but desu Ford was making faster and GM was making more reliable muscle at the same time.
1925-1949= Let's be honest, all cars were shit. Chrysler was making GOAT tanks back then atleast.
1950's= Anything but Chev=Garbage
1960's= The Jeep golden age
1970's= Muscle golden age, but Ford was doing it best.
1980-2004= American cars=NOPE.wav
2000's= Ford starts getting it's shit together, only Daimler-designed Chryslers aren't trash
2010's= GM starts getting it's shit together, Chrysler merges with Fiat

Would you Americans buy the last Commodore?

If so, would you get it as a sedan, station wagon or ute?

the americans had a chance of buying the VF as a chevrolet SS, and they still didnt want it. Despite the praise, look at the sales figures, its abysmal

This is the path you chose amerifats, FWD and SUV derived cars for now on
