I parked next to a red RA two days ago at the Wingstop in Orange on Katella. Was that anyone here?

i HAD an 04 in thunder gray but sold it at the beginning of the year...
ive seen another 04/05 thunder gray with a black rally/racing stripe on one side(can't remember off-hand if it's left or right side tho) and a white one driving around in the 15 mile/orchard lake area and once a sportback too....but i've tried looking into it and no luck to finding out who they are...

so sad i sld it...i keep trying to think if i could find it somewhere and re-buy it...but right now it's nto an option....that's the reason i sold it in the first place...(needs too much work for me to afford right now)

Yeah, I've seen a 04/05 white one with a body kit and everything, its modded nicely but it was auto. it was around the Royal Oak area, they have car meet there like every friday night

i don't think it's the same one i'd seen...the one i remember was stock looking(unless they've modded it since)

"...but it was auto." Funny how that just slipped in.

So, does that change the way it appeared? I have to give you a hard time for I grew up with manual tranny's and know the fun/advantages associated with them. But now, as the owner of an 2004 Sportback Turbocharged Ralliart AT, and the preference of choosing a MT having never been available, I can't help but to be a little biased towards the automatic transmission...

maybe you should a drop in a evo/eclipse 6speed in yours
and make it the first SB with a turbo AND manual....

Yeah, been through conversations with others expressing interests in conversions, swaps, AWD,, etc., and my response is always, "but then it wouldn't be a 2004 Lancer Sportback Ralliart for they weren't produced that way." You can turn anything into anything if you have the monies. Engine/Transmission/ECU wise, it's still OEM, minus the fuel injectors and colder spark plugs. It does lay claim to being the first 2004 Sportback Ralliart with a NA & Turbo ECU reflash by Hackish! OttRalliart05 was the first in his '04 Ralliart sedan. I just had an LSD produced for it and it is yet to be installed. After that, I think I'm done with modifying it for I'll have accomplished everything I set out to do.

Now that makes more sense, a vehicle that is R&D'd and engineered as an AWD, turbocharged, manual transmission, rally car! Mine was built for 162hp/145 whp, as a FWD, NA, AT family wagon with a sport suspension package. I understand though the desire to modify vehicles, but this is where I'm stopping at on mine, and dreaming that one day I'll own the Evo Wagon. For now, I have a pretty cool toy with 240 whp!
