I'd like to buy RA but have few questions.
1. Number gained.
I heard RA ahs great potential in custom tune.
But what's the numbers should I expect? I think I saw RA with 260+ whp.
Can this be true from bone stock/very lightly modded RA?
My plan is bone stock RA + Evo X IC(maybe) + Boost pill(probably) and custome tune.
2. Tuner or tune?
I live at San Antonio, TX, and haven't seen many performance shop around here,
and I do not trust any getto mechanics.
And I need ability to go back to stock when I need, like service at dealership.
So I like to go for tuner, like AP, but what you guys think?
Is there any good tuner with canned tune what will work with Evo X IC and/or boost pill?
Is there any good/trust worthy shops around here at San Antonio tX?
And how much is resonable for tuner and/or custom tuning at shop?
(FYI, I am very noob for custom tuning processes/methods but can use tuners.)
3. Evo X IC
I found local guy selling his Evo X IC.
Obviously it is larger than stock RA, and larger IC is always better.
But what are true/acutal benefits/disadvantages from larger IC in RA??
Any gains?? Troubles? Hard to install?? Requires custom tune??
4. TPMS
I really hate stock rims. They are plain ugly.
Also I've heard stock tires are suck as well.
To swap those for other aftermarket rims/tires,
how do I transfer TPMS sensors??
For example, my current ride, Mustang has bands on rims and sensors are attached to them.
To trasfer them, I have get new bands, install sensors and tires,
and use Ford's TPMS reset tool to reset/calibrate the sensors.
How about in RA??
5.2010/2011
What are differences between two??? NOthing at all?
I heard 2011 has different style of antenna.
I went to local dealership, and they just told me there's nothing different
but as all ways, I never trust them.
Couple of things I concern from 2010 are why no engine start button and
why RCA jack instead of regular 3.5 pi stereo jack for aux input for audio.
6. Overall expression.
I need your expression about your RAs.
Any pros and cons will be appreiciated.
Even it is based on your personal preferences/situations, let me share those.
Especially, things for Sedan and sportback will be very useful for me.
7. Dealership among members
My plan is, sell my car, buy some sedan with cash, around 10k in cost for my mom,
and apply for loan for RA with down pay of around 5K.
IS there any memeber works for Mitsbishi delaership with forum special price????
Whta I'm looking for is Sportsback, white. No Recaro seats nor nav.
