    Not at all. Those will just make an otherwise handsome car uglier. And do research more on euro set up. There's nothing euro with angel eyes, circuit mags and extended lug nuts.

    If I were you, just use the money for basic IHE mods

    A "fast and furious" setup is not "euro".

    Here's the Euro Lancer sedan, it look pretty much like the pre-facelift Lancer EX GT/ GT-A.



    5-door Sportback models get the new front bumper.

    Lagyan mo ng europlates and voila you have your euro-lancer.

    Kidding aside.

    Just keep it stock. Pogi na naman ang EX e'.

    Yup I agree, having a lancer GTA is already a good thing. Putting abubuts to it will make it cheap and baduy if you dont know what your doin. Aside from spending on the abubots may risk pa bumaduy ang isang magandang auto it just aint worth it.

    you might want to check with your dealer before modifying anything especially sa makina -> warranty :D

    just a thought

    Even a K&N drop-in filter will make the intake sound slightly louder, even from inside the car.

    A cone-filter type intake mod will definitely make it much louder.

    It would also result in a 4 to 5 hp gain.

    You can get even more HP (15whp peak gain with K&N drop-in air filter) and improved engine power curve if you do a UNICHIP upgrade with dyno tuning at Speedlab.

    Also coming up is headers, which is dyno tested good for a gain of 11 to 12 whp (with unichip & dyno tuning).

    To sum up all the mods, how much do you think it's going to cost? and will it make my gas consumption higher than usual?

    Around P50K, give or take.

    As for fuel consumption, if you drive it "normally" it should actually improve fuel mileage.

    Prices for EX GT-A ( c/o speedlab )

    K&N SRi - 8.5k

    Headers - 17.5k

    Unichip - 30k

    = 56k.

    Yep, most likely FC will be affected since you know that you have the power to back up your pedal happy right foot, you will be most of the time stepping on it harder than you normally do. Hehehe

    If you're into performance, forget the warranty. :hysterical: And learn how to resist the itch. :naughty2:
