A friend of mine just sold his sick looking mustank' 04 I think. Picked up a 350Z twin Turbo. Was sent from factory to some big wig Turbo shop. I think you'll like the beemer but, u can't tow a lancer with it......

feeling the same way about mine. getting a stupid clunk noise when start moving randomly from clutch I'm assuming. Also ac keeps acting up despite being recharged. Been really debating a STI since got new renters moving into my place tomorrow cash flow is going back up as well as a raise from work finally...Lancer just pissing me off lately i have had so many problems I'm debating what i want from it anymore. I have an autox this weekend and if it falls apart I'm gonna be pissed lol...Id stay away from the BRZ unless your going for like auto-x road racing from what i have heard no one has figured out the engine yet for giving it a turbo etc. ER dyno'd one stock the other day and had 159whp/125tq

yep. thats to the wheels..
tuning will be cracked shortly. turboing.. really not a big deal for me right now. suspension n rims are for Daily status... LAncer would still be the toy..
I donno.. im just done with the truck.. its costing me 550/month, and thats not counting gas. its kinda unrealistic as a Daily just because of the overall cost.. if gas was under 2$ gallon, it be a different story.
The honda was nice, went down to 30$ a week in gas.. But its gone now. back to 150$ a week
Ive got like 6k set aside.. its eather getting dumpe dinto lancer.. or a new car.. money wasnt for lancer.. but could get most all the work done needed for the new setup.

ok... so...
got bored.. checked out craiglist..
im now the proud new owner of my 2nd lancer..
Picked up a RED 04 Lancer OZ auto today with 156k miles for 2150. guy had it posted for 3200.. got it as low as i could.
Couple small issues.. im gunna hopefully work them all out tomorrow..
A/c compressor isnt cutting on.. got another one i can toss in, aint no biggy. and front end is all brand new and not painted..
also lookin for a trunk for it.. its got 2 small dents, nothing terribly noticeable.. but
other then that.. its good.. O, and purple *** tint. being ripped off tomorrow and an alignment tomorrow also.
more then likely gunna be painiting the whole car within a week or so.
