New Member - What should I do?
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2019 6:34 pm
Hi, I am a new member so I apologise if I do something incorrectly.
I currently have 2009 lancer Ralliart, it has about 117,000 km's (72700.4295 miles) it's in pretty good shape and has had all of its regular services.
I bought the car with modifications such as: Cat Back exhaust system, Pod air filter and blow off value. Since then all I've done to it is got a custom tune at Pulse Racing in Sydney, Australia. I am happy with how the car runs I would just like to step up to the next level in terms of performance.
The next package that Pulse offer is basically an upgrade of everything: turbo back exhaust system, upgraded turbo (possibly evo 8 but I can't remember), new intercooler, fuel injectors, high flow cat, cold air intake, and they tune it as well. This costs around $11,000 AUD ($7.5k USD). I want to upgrade to this but I'm not sure, does the car have too many km's for it to be worthwhile? Or should I just save up and get a new car in a couple of years? I do have enough money to upgrade and I do plan to keep this car as long as it doesn't break down. Also I've heard that you have to replace the trans in these cars and they cost about $10,000 AUD to replace.
What do you guys think I should do?
Thanks
Edit: Went from about 140.4 KW - 177.1 KW to the wheels.
