    Yep. Acceleration.Still, even at 160 kph it felt very, very stable -- unlike with fwd compacts nowadays who admittedly can leave it on the straightaway.I remember a loooong time ago. I went top speed up to pamp. Mga 165 yun at a dead hour but I didn't feel nervous (may hinahabol kasi akong libing eh ang tulin nung karosa. hahaha). Ngayon kumakabog na dibdib ko pag umabot ako sa 150 kahit a few seconds lang. Btw, huwag sana gayahin nung mga kabataan dito -- delikado po. Tsaka tumaas ang temp gauge ko at uminit ang gulong ko -- too hot to touch. Takot ko nga parang malapit na sumabog e.

    If the car is RWD yan ang rason sa good level of control.

    Yep. RWD sila. It was a GREAT rwd vehicle though, during the times na hindi pa uso ang fwd. Daming pinanalong rally niyan during its time -- parang evo or maybe even more dominant pa.

    As to restoration, depende siguro kung how much budget niyo. I don't think it's worth it kung hindi babalik sa pristine condition. If it's a junker, parang hindi sulit. Pero kung ok condition at madali ibalik sa pristine, ganda niyan. I even saw a couple in the last T&T edition yata yun -- tuned and customized though. It wasn't for sale but with the upgrade, I'm sure it'll cost a pretty penny.

    problems are mabagal, hina ng aircon at masikip sa loob, esp sa likod. might as well spend your money on a more recent car model, imho.
    Yun box type ng father ko kinabitan ng Cam 6. Nai improve yun takbo at bumilis (don't compare cars today na 16 valve kasi magka iba ang specs nito at di na kailangan kabitan ng Cam 6 o kung ano ano pa (in stock form)kasi mabilis na siya.) Yun car niya ay '83 Lancer SL. Di naman siya karerista gusto niya ma improve yun kotse niya.

    my first ever car is an 83 sl, replaced the trans and defferential with GSR specs and a simul carbs. and the rest was history.. 140 kph was achievable with stock exhaust.. but drop the simul carbs since gas consumption will increase.. however i sold it after a year..

    got myself another lancer its a GLXI 95 mdl. i replaced the bumpers to Libero with fogs.. and its doing well..

    i was able to save small amount of money and got tempted to buy another box type car.. im a proud owner of a 83 GL Automatic Lancer with a sunroof, blue glass and power steering 13"s mesh magwheels .. and im loving it..
