Fun-to-Drive Manual for 750k?

[Arshxd]

Eh, Nagkukuha ako ng Mech Eng ngaun, plano ko nga magmods in 2/3 years time kpag registered na ako. Kasi plano ko by then mag turbo conversion. Kaya medyo unsure ako sa fiesta kasi yung 1.5L ang taas ng compression ratio. Habang yung lancer/mazda/jazz/suzuki malaki talaga yung aftermarket. Stock sa labas pero fully built ang loob.

[Mikemike07]

Meron sir.

BTT: Lancer EX sir swak yan. *Mike, may reverse cam yung mga bagong unit ng EX ngayon?!

Yup. According sa review ni sir niky sa topgear sa glx model. Grabe no? Winiwish ko tuloy na sana tumagal tagal yung dilemma ko between the elantra and lancer. Ang dami kong namiss out. Yung free ipad mini ata after a month lang ng pagkabili ko nagkaron. Hahahayy. Mahilig pa naman ako sa gadgets. Tapos dun sa review ni sir niky nung april may reverse cam na. Worth 15k yun ipainstall sa winterpine nung nagtanong ako.

Wow! Respect to you sir! Ayos yan. Built not bought. Hehe. Baka pwedeng imod mo rin yung amin balang araw pagkamay shop ka na ala speedlab.

Try ko mag inquire sa Mitsu na dealer sa weekend, kun swak sa budget all in na ata xD anlaki ng discount na yun. Siguro black na plastidip sa wheels ad rubber na mudguards para rally look.

Kapag hindi may kinausap na talaga ako na SA sa ford at saka mazda, okay lang ba yun na maginquire ako sa ibang dealership nila kung may mabigay sila na mas malaking discount? Yung sobra sa budget ko sana bilhin ng spoiler ng Fiesta Sport/Mazda2 1.5R kaso yung sa ford 35k ata (-_-") yung mazda baka 15k at most pero meron nman sa sulit 5.5k unpainted. Tapos sport tires. haha medyo excited na ako.

Ganda sa Lancer niyang sleeper mode. Gaya ng sabi ni Mike, masyadong bare ang base unit nito so mas effective yang gusto mo. Unlike yung mga Fiesta maporma na agad. Wish ko din makapagpaturbo one day.

Review: Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1.6 GLX MT - Drives

Grabe nga kainis. Well November last year ko pa naman nakuha tong unit so matagal tagal din kung sakali hinintay ko yang mga promo ngayon. Tsaka sa bday ko narelease ang unit tatanggi pa ba? haha

[niky]

If you're planning to turbocharge down the line, don't bother with a brand new unit. Sayang warranty. Go for a slightly used secondhand. Probably best turbo project within a reasonable budget would be a secondhand Lancer GLX 2.0 MT (MT ha... not the CVT... not if you're going turbo).

Amongst your brand new choices, I would not turbo the Swift 1.4... I don't know if the engine can handle it. The old 1.5 was already marginal for a turbo project. An outgoing Fiesta 1.4 might be okay, but I'm not sure. The Fiesta's 1.6 can definitely handle boost, but the dual-clutch definitely can't. It is not rated for high torque. The Mazda2 engines have fragile plastic manifolds, but some guys have successfully done low-boost builds. (your limiting factor would be the clutch)

The Accent CRDi MT... ayun. Turbo na. Just need a chip, an intercooler and some exhaust work to make it more fun. Then you can work on the suspension and brakes to bring it up to par in terms of handling with the Fiesta and Mazda2. Then there's the new Kappa 1.4, which might be able to take some boosting compared to the higher spec 1.4s.

The Rio, I wouldn't do the 1.4. The 1.2 might be interesting to boost, but you won't make much power...

Still... if turbo is where you want to go, best bet is to get a secondhand Lancer 2.0 (MT! Basta MT!) or a secondhand Civic 2.0. With the Civic, even the automatic can take a little boost with no problem, but if you're going for 200 whp or more, you'll want to upgrade it.

Hi, can you guys suggest me a new car that has as much of the following as possible? Manual transmission is a must, budget is 750k

-precise shifts
-communicative/direct/sharp steering
-rev happy engine
-close ratio gearbox
-good body roll control
-large aftermarket

Thanks ^^

Sounds like the Lancer EX to me....

A slightly used Lancer EX 2.0L would fit your budget and have some potential for turbocharging too.

The Honda Jazz 1.5L could be a potential option too since there are turbo kits made for it. It handles well and aftermarket for it is well developed.

[Arshxd]

After graduation pa naman ako mag turbo conversion. By then expired na yung warranty.
Alam ko yung 1.3 na mazda merong supercharger kit sa japan, Knighs Sports ata yung gumawa. Yung nakita kong turbo 135 whp yung max.

Tapos alam mo po kung aling kotse ang walang Brake Override dito? Sa ibang bansa ang ginagawa nun mag-cut yung engine kapag naka-apak yung brake saka throttle. Installed daw sa mga kotse starting 2010 pgkatapos ng "unintended accleration" ng mga Toyota sa US. Ang problema ay nagiging impossible na mag heel-toe at left foot braking Sa nakita ko, Honda na MT lang ang walang ganito, tapos sa Mazda pwedeng i-disable.

Hindi ba plastic na rin yung manifold ng EX na mga lancer?

Sir Niky, since Lancer EX 1.6 MT na nakuha ko, ano pong masasabi nyo kapag ni-turbo ito after warranty? Can it handle? Wont make much power din ba?

[[archie]]

turbo road Pala ang balak. I agree with the lancer 2.0 Mt. just don't boost too high Para kaya pa daily driven. magnda baseline lancer ex in my opinion.

With the 1.6 ex kaya boost pero ill be on the safe side of .5 boost. bawi na lang sa suspension, breaks, stabilizer bars, and wheels.

When we say wheels, ano po specs ang needed kung nakaturbo para makasabay? Does it mean bigger and wider wheels and low profile series? Or just magandang brand na magaan na rims at makapit na tires?

[b0y37]

Kaya. I was able to ask for a 50k discount pero just like Mikemike07 said itry mo pang i haggle down.

Ma'am C4U, did you get the EX na? I thought you were waiting for the next Corolla.

[[archie]]

sa wheels best to get more traction. thread wear of around 240 would be ideal Para kumapit kahit cornering. draw back is madali maubos goma. If budget permits get original sets of volk with original bolts kasi sa high speed tapos corner madali luluwag bolts kung hindi match mags.

Also don't forget suspension, kung magnda na wheels and walang control sa body roll medyo hindi rin kakapit ng tama. short throw are best in my opinion.

hindi na kasi porma habol, performance na.

edit: low profile is a must with the right psi Para hindi magalaw goma sa corner. wag din sobrsng baba ng series baka mags na tatama sa road. wider tires are also good pero not much of a must.

Sir Niky, since Lancer EX 1.6 MT na nakuha ko, ano pong masasabi nyo kapag ni-turbo ito after warranty? Can it handle? Wont make much power din ba?

About 160 whp is safe. That should be around 7-10 psi, depending on the turbo set-up.

-

You'll want better brake pads, maybe slotted rotors. Ralliart suspension is available naman (just get the shocks), then add 18" GTA wheels... perfect.

You can stick with the 16" wheels, but performance options in that rather tall tire size are limited.

[Mikemike07]

^medyo di pala cost effective iturbo yung 1.6 lancer kung ganun. Better if bumili nakang ng 2nd hand 2.0. After bolt on performance mods and unichip, lamang na sa turbocharged 1.6

No. I did not push through with the purchase. I decided to wait for the Corolla.

Lamang in peak power, but torque throughout the range is much more than an NA 2.0. Still, best bet is a turbo 2.0.

[basti08]

Mazda 2 1.3L MT hatchback is the sweetest find IMO.
