If you do not mod your car or at least never take it into the dealership when it is not completely stock then you should not have a problem with them replacing the transmission if it breaks. The transmissions seem to be fine under normal circumstances though, so if you do not plan on going near or over 300 torque you would probably be fine (assuming you are not out launching it or otherwise driving it hard a lot).

I think the current warrant for Ralliarts is 5 yrs/60,000 miles powertrain. =)

I would get a RA over a bomadore anyday. The SV6 is far too underpowered for its weight. Even if you go to Suttons Mitsubishi (Which I'm assuming you're talking about) with your SV6, don't expect too good a trade in. Holdens (and Fords) don't hold much value.

$36990 for a ex demo isn't too bad. A mate of mine got a demo with 1000kms for $39000 the other day. It depends how spec'd they are. His doesn't really have any options apart from the paint. I would definately recommend getting the Fosgate sound option.

Yes in Aus the driveline has a 10yr 100,000km warranty. The only catch is that after 5yrs it's an aftermarket warranty through MMA. I've had my experience with aftermarket warranties before and don't trust the paper they're written on. I'll just stick to the main 5yr warranty (which is still bloody good) and then save cash for any potential drama's they weezel their way out of.

Hey guys, havent logged on for a while.. But i'll def get some pics taken and load it up onto this thread. The weather isn't helping though... i've wanted to wash my car for 2 wks straight but the rain up here in "SUNNY" ole Brisbane hasn't stopped.

Mods so far: Just a HKS filter. Looking at possibly getting an ecu reflash with chiptorque and tune..


Pros: Stylish, Great daily drive, great engine, great shifting (although i did find it a lil slower han the DSG in the Golf GTI's)

Cons: Heavy, chews the fuel if you have a heavy foot.

Price: $36,990 is a great price given it's only got 9ks. I got mine for $39,000 with only 8ks on the clock in Rally Red back (hatch) in November last year and that was the best deal i could get in Brisbane.

PS I'm looking to get a cat back exhaust also and was wondering if anyone in Bris/Syd has either the UR exhaust or the AMS exhaust? IF so, did you import it? or did yout get it locally? Any how much?

Thanks guys!!!

Lets keep this thread going! Thumbs up for RALLIARTS in OZ...

Hands Up. another Aussie RA owner here in sunny NQ. I got my oct09 blue sedan about 3 months ago and love it. Just some info I have i have contacted COBB tuning about getting the access port for the AUS model and they dont do it I would be interested in finding out if there is a similar product for the AUS model.

I have just put some ralliart scuff pads on which look pretty sweet, I'll have those pics up in show'n'shine soon. (after a wash)

L4NC3R - I'm working on getting support for the AUS RA in Evoscan. ECUFlash works, but you need the AUS xml file - if you want it, let me know. You can then use the free GST tunes (provided you have not modded anything). Have you checked out clubcj.net? It's more Straain focussed, with regular meets and cruises and local group buys.

Awsome more Aussie RA owners!

marco ra

MRT do good mods on our cars complete upgrade kits they are expensive but good

Azza

Yep, another Aussie RA owner here. Over 15 months of ownership and no probs as it is stock. Would love a decent exhaust system and a tune, but there isn't much around up here. Have to go to a bigger city to get what I want.

hi guys, i am a proud owner of a new 09 ralliart and its a red sedan.
i live in brisbane and bought it from nundah mitsu.
i have had it dyno tested and the tester said that the factory settings were as good as u can get for performance but i asked him about adding a better exhaust and a better air filter.
he said u may gain power or u may lose power, he didnt know, do u guys know?
i am taking it for a run at queensland raceways at amberley on sat. 10/04 so we will see how it drives on a race circuit.
if u have any ideas on the exhaust please post it.
nice to meet u,
BB.

marco ra

Hey BB welcome!
I Agree and Disagree with your statement. You can make more power with a tune no doubt about it. Have Mitsubishi got the balance of power for the sst trans perfect yes. I wouldnt touch your car mate. You have a 10 year warranty to enjoy!

As for an exhaust there are some awsome cat back systems out there You can order one from the states for about $1200 delivered or get one made in Australia for about $800.

blackbeard

yep, i just bought one, its great.

heh, new to the boards, disregard this previous sentence.

hi marco, thanks for the reply, yeah, i think atm i will just enjoy it persuant to further research.
WHAT A CAR!!!
