WTK about my lancer

[NotHim]

hello there fellow tuners ..i'm sorta new to the forum and to the driving world and i basically want some professional or experienced opinions about my ck2 lancer
ok now i would like to know ..to satisfy my need for speed would it be more practical to change the engine or to mod the 4G15?

Alot of things can cause your horn to trip off, most likely it could be that water got into the relay for the horn or a loose wire. I am in San Juan area my number is 742-7011. I do minor electrical so you can bring it and I can check it.

Correct. It could be water seepage into the horn relay or some fault or short at the horn button on the steering wheel itself. Any electrician worth his salt could check that for you.

Oil-wise, stick to the thinnest oil that won't burn off. Synthetic or not, depends on your pocket, but bear in mind some synthetics have much longer change intervals, so sometimes for $20 more per quart, you can get an oil that lasts twice as long. Economics.

It would've been wise to find out from the previous owner what fluids they were using and when was the last change.

[NotHim]

thank you guys ..i'll check it out asap by an electrician
and the previous owner was a louse so I'd rather find out through research
once again thank you

I say if you want to get power from an engine start wih a "powerful" engine. Personally I would swap to more displacement, 4g93t, 4g63t,6a13tt... Look at your budget and what makes sense. Do you want to mod your car to dog fight with a Chevy Cruze or do you want to have some rb and jz men asking. "What the hell?!"

[Ted_v2]

4g93t and I think it's the mivec gearbox that works in the fwd application. Me personally I'm looking at a 4g93t gdi. But that's a huge maybe

[Mercenary]

I did the 6a13tt conversion in my ck2 lancer. It ain't no evo but it works well enough. Original 4G15 DOHC was a real faithful engine.

eh heh?!! you have me studying ...but ammm whats the cost for one of those 6a13's?
Cuz I was really studying the ohh so common 4G92 mivec

[Mercenary]

Yeah will send you the details of the build when I reach home.

[Ted_v2]

send me a copy one time

what gearbox tho? fto?

[trini iceman]

If you going 6a13tt f5m42/4g93 box works. Go 6puck cupper and hd pres plate one time. 6a is a great engine but after market ltd.

[NotHim]

what if i wanted to stay n/a though no that many options ?

[Ted_v2]

Mivec then. Easiest and straight forward swap

[NotHim]

alright ...personally i think the Mivec is too common for me to stand out but i just might start there ..
It's about 6-7k for that right?

[Ted_v2]

paid 7k for a 4g15dohc and tranny. So the mivec will be closer to 10

[NotHim]

allrighty then ..not so bad i can still save that
and if i may go offtopic for 1 sec ..how much so for a pair of back shocks?

[Ted_v2]

350-375 new
400 a side foreign used

[NotHim]

foreign used is the better one ent?

[Ted_v2]

Once your springs good. There's no need for foreign used. Get it new

[NotHim]

thanks man i'll look into it soon as $$ comes in

my mechanic's opinion is tht the "v6 is a waste a time' and that the 4 cylinder (4g63) will own it ..
but for some strange reason i think i want the 6a13tt so a general price range for that will be about ..?

[Ted_v2]

Dunno.

[NotHim]

small ting i go find out in time
