are you kidding me? your insurance company wouldnt even insure you if they knew that you had dropped thousands of dollars into fully built motor or turbo set up. thats because its illegal to mod your car unless you put on emissions legal parts. and the only thing you can even buy for the lancer thats emission legal is an intake. so what reason if any do you think it would be smart to tell your insurance company about all the illegal parts you just put on your car? insurance will not knowingly insure a car that is not street legal.

Depends on where you live. My insurance company did not have coverage for modifications but their sister company did. Basically I could do anything short of nitrous and turboing the car and be covered. California may have strict rules but it's not universal. In California you do have to take the risks if you want to modify.

It depends on the nature of the insurance company. When I was looking into it, they had a list of approved modifications which included a turbo kit. Whether they would cover the cost of the modifications in the case of a catastrophic engine failure or some sort of modification-related damage I don't know but they would adjust your file to reflect the cost of the modifications so in the case of an accident, they would be included.

Why should I have realized that from the start? When I was modding my Lancer, there was no one like me around. Everyone had a head in the clouds, super-optimistic mindset thus people expected my Lancer to make no less than 140 HP, or 20 over stock. This included established members and even a well known and well respected vendor.
Seriously, can we cut the hater crap? Telling someone that NA bolt-ons are a waste of money (from a power gaining standpoint) isn't being a hater, it's being realistic. You may well argue that telling someone they can't walk on water is being a hater. The OP asked for advice and people gave him just that, there's no reason to pull out this hater BS.
If providing people with hard data and personal experience discouraging them from modding their Lancer, they shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Seriously, if they're that shaken up by the posts of someone they've never met, how are they going to react when they run into problems down the road? If you need everything to go perfectly and for people to hold your hand the whole way, you shouldn't be in the modding game, it's as simple as that.

Did I mis-read the title of this thread? I'm pretty sure it says "I want more power", not "I want an evo". Nobody was comparing the two cars. Obviously the evo is an all around better car than the base lancer. But this is not a thread about how he wants to corner better, or launch harder or stop faster or even upgrade his interior. This is a thread about how he can make more power in HIS car. But ill tell you what amby, you go spend 30k on a stock evo, and ill go spend 30k on a base lancer and we'll see who launches harder. I guarantee it won't be you! All I'm saying is that if he wants more power then go spend a 3k to get your car turbo'd and you will be able to pull on evo's. Maybe not from a dead stop, but rolling they won't hang. And I promise you that you will then be happy with the amount of power your base lancer makes. Then you can be happy with the car that you have and start saving for you dream car.

Another insightful post. Last I checked, the OP asked how to gain power, not what mods he can do to pass the time on a slow Sunday afternoon. Of course this is all fueled by hatred, none of it is supported with dyno charts, oh wait...

Yes, because I have proof that bolt-ons do diddly squat for power, I've turned my back on Lancers. Forget the fact that I wrote a massive FAQ on Lancers and continued to update it well after I got rid of the car, forget the fact that I get PMs on a regular basis asking for help, I'm just a big Lancer hater that wants to bring the community down .
