[DNSerrano]

Seriously looks great. FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS...take off the Lancer badge and put a GALANT FORTIS badge! LOL I would. LOOKS HOT, are the headers in the back?

[dknight3]

[IceDouTGaLanT]

[Predat-R]

[jake26]

[SkylineG1]

x2

[6G72gearhead]

Only two pedals, weaksauce.

:D

Congrats man. They do look nice, I've been trying to get the local dealership to let me test drive one in a manual, or better yet an evo when they come out.

[4g63lover]

Is the intake mani on the bottom? looks like it from the pic...

no, there is a engine cover which covers the intake mani.

[jake26]

i will take it off tomorrow and take some pics without the cover...

[SkylineG1]

Man wasted no time getting another car huh?

[jake26]

here is a picture on a 2008 mitsubishi galant fortis

i guess my lancer is technically a galant!!! so i guess i made a amazing purchase and stayed within the family...

[6G72gearhead]

I love 'em, they even look pissed off from the back.

[Diamndsr4eva]

oh baby, i likey. I would have liked to see the manual instead but still thats an awesome choice. very sweeeeeeet. :smt023 :smt023

[seth98esT]

Nice Jake, but why no 5spd!

[Xavier22]

good choice. nice mitsu

[jake26]

Nice Jake, but why no 5spd!

i kept my 7g, thats enough of 5sp for me hahahhaha... nah no mitsus had it in the ares, i would had to wait a week and i needed a car right then!! i was borrowing cars from neighbors to get to work while my galant is down. so i needed something quick, besides, the tiptronic and paddle shifting its awesome also, wait till that mivec kicks in its like spraying a 35HP shot of nitrous, you litteraltry feel it!!!!

[polishmafia]

I love 'em, they even look pissed off from the back.

x2... you nailed it exactly haha.

i really like the new lancers. excellent purchase my polish brotha!

now we have to wait for his noob-like thread on what he should do to it ;)

[glantv699]

Nice ride- ENJOY IT!

[Da_silvagride]

the engine is placed backwards in other words. The exhaust manifold faces the windsheild and the intake manifold faces the front. kinda of a odd set up. Its like the toyota celicas.

not really i ahve seen that on many rides, sti, neons, ect

[DOHCstunr]

it allows for a shorter, straighter exhaust.

this means less weight and more power, also by putting hte turbo and the weight of the manifold on the backside of the engine(closer to the firewall) it brings the weight of the car closer to the center. for better weight distribution

just think, you can have a short ram and CAI at the same time.

[Kenjuro_2]

Very Nice.

[Serstylz2]

uh oh u gonna put on a short ram and cai???

[jake26]

dont know yet, so far RRM makes few parts for the 2008 lancer, i havet really searched much yet... i will do so tonight i will see what i can dig up, i did find and exhaust for 350.00 plus shipping, from RRM

[Serstylz2]

nice.. good luck modding.. knowing mitsus the intake mani would probably crack due to the intense amount of air 2 intakes would bring in :roll:

[jake26]

here is a short ram intake by RRM

http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/images/2008srism.jpg


i dont know they want 159.00 for it, its basically a fiter and adapter for the MAS, i think i will wait for the real CAI to come out, plus in the short ram having the oem Rubber TUbe with the spirals, slows down air flow!!! so what the point for now:

here is what RRM says about it

2008+ Lancer

We tested numerous designs to get the most power. This is the same intake that won it class in GymkhanaUSA event. This intake fit both Manual transmission and automatic transmissions. Expect to drop a full second in 0 - 60 mph times with this intake as the MIVEC kicks in and this engine gulps in air! This kit includes all parts needed to install the intake without damaging stock components. CNC machined MAS sensor holder and adapter bolts right up and the kit includes the largest filter we could fit in front of the battery! Powder coated red only!

and here are some other parts available for the galant/lancer as of now:

179.00

[DOHCstunr]

that exhaust could be hot...
intake looks bunk
no point whatsoever....
might as well just do a flip top box mod or what not.

that lower brace looks pretty hot though....
i'd pick that up for sure.

brakes.... why?
go evo or go home.


motor mounts... again.. why?
i'd wait for prothane to make some. filling mounts is bogus.

john i totally agree with you, i am definatly waiting for a real CAI to come out...as for the exhaust i really do wanna pic that up, but what about the warranty, will this void my car warranty??? do i have to go through mitsu to get this installed?

i will also look for those evo brakes when the car come out. and the lower brace is hot too. i will for sure pick that up...it suck that you arent coming to MB john i want you to drive the lancer and take it around some corners, today i took the car on one of those exits, i was going around 60MPH the car just stuck to the road, that was my test..also i will do some 0-60 runs soon after i break the motor in.. the manual says 200 mile break in period...

[Goku]

yea that intake looks like it'll just suck hot air.

You'd be better to shift the battery to where the filter is sitting and custom up a box with ducting where that scoop is.

[komodo]

Sorry but whats the difference between an 'o8 Lancer and a "Galant Fortis". To be honest I never really heard of a "Galant Fortis" till now =T

Secondly, When I went to the site to "build my own car" I noticed there was a "Sporttronic" option for the 'o8 Lancer. Exactly what is that? I heard of Tiptronic and never knew what exactly that was either...
All I know is that there is the paddles and then there is the uh.. actual shift [where you bring the gear-stick up to gear up and down to gear down, or left and right for some other cars]. So which does the new 'o8 Lancer use?

edit: When I looked closer at the steering wheel I noticed that there were paddles. I'm not a fan of paddles, does the 'o8 Lancer come with the one where you use the gear to shift? [I still don't know the proper name of what it's called, but it's the same thing in cars like the Acura TL]

[mindwerkz]

Sporttronic is the Mistu version of Tiptronic which is essentially an automatic transmission that the driver can tell when to shift if he/she wants.

There is no major difference that I know of between the '08 Lancer and the Galant Fortis other than the badge that says Galant Fortis. It's the Japanese Lancer (not EVOs). They just changed the name. The REAL Galant was discontinued in the Japanese market due to low sales.

[4-G-rim]

MIVEC ownz you now! :smt001

[Strizi]

Looks nice,much fun with it! :wink:
