Where do I find info on the new Ralliart? The only sub-forum labeled "2009 Ralliart" says it is for general comments only. It looks like there are eight good categories for the EVO X, but I can't find the same for the Ralliart. Is the Ralliart simply not going to be well supported on EvoM?

Thanks,
Jim

There are all kinds of subforums for the ralliart... just not subforums for the 2009 ralliart specifically.

It'll be done in the near future. We haven't yet expanded it into a full section because it's not yet very popular.

For example, there is no where to discuss the turbo system of the 09 Ralliart. The only Ralliart F/I subforum says specifically for "aftermarket" F/I systems.

Looking forward to it. Will all current threads be moved to the new section? I hope. Thanks Otter.

Don't forget that it's a completely new car, there are maybe 20 members with Ralliarts who post with any regularity, hardly worth creating a series of subforums for that kind of audience. Since the Ralliart came stock a turbo system, there isn't really a need for a separate turbo forum.

Fail -- I made a post and didnt know who posted it. Sorry Jim -- I posted up that info you wanted. Let me know if there is anything more specific you are after.

Yeah, we're still thinking about just how the 09 Ralliart will be split off. Doesn't really need it's own section entirely. It's a GTS body with an Evo powertrain.

Much as the EVO is simply a Lancer with a VR-4 powertrain!

Same could be said about the EVO!

Well considering we don't have a VR-4 forum I don't see the point to your argument. As for the second point, how many turbo upgrades are there for the Evo? How many for the Ralliart? Why make subforums that are going to see minimal activity?

The mods will discuss it when the time is right, but IMO, the 09 Ralliart will get just the basic sections (general, drivetrain, susp/wheel/brake, S&S) because it's easiest that way, even though nearly every one of those sections could fit in either the Evo or Lancer area (and, personally, I'm in favor of one big show and shine area for all 08+ Lancers, because from the outside, they're all the same car.)

Also, for the sake of not making our massive index page longer than it already is, the current Ralliart (04-06) area will become a subsection of the 02-06 Lancer area.
