Hi, As they say, long time stalker, first time poster.
I have a red RA hatch (yep, BUTT ugly!! rear end, but practical), 2011 MY12, had to wait 3 months for it to come into the country in late Nov 11, but well worth the wait (with 6 Km on it after paint protection, leather treatment, protectors etc - that answers that forum!!). It replaced a 1989 911 Targa Carrera which was probably going to cost me a lot of money in the near future, but with modern tech, the RA's 2.0 has more power than the 3.2 flat 6 !!
Love the car although it is starting to exhibit the clutch "letting go" momentarily on downchange to the odd gears (particularly 3rd gear) with only 30K on the clock (I use it in Sport Manual).
She is stock at the moment until I convince MMA that the clutch problem is not normal and they do something about it - although there are no warnings associated when it occurs. Otherwise she will get some wheels and tyres, probably ROH Korsa and 235/40/18 RE002's, swaybars, Catback, ECU tune, boost pill etc,, only moderate as she is a daily drive.
Love the forum, so much knowledge and looking forward to putting some money Offey's way for some parts I have my eye on (a great service he seems to do for very little (no) personal reward).
Cheers, and happy Lancer motoring to all.
