hahaha that's a sad moment in motoring history . Sure the Lancer is an injected 4 and most probably manual but the VS should of eaten it or at least not let it pull away down low. Poor old Goobles got gobbled basically

Good service with the works, cat back mandrel bent 2.5" with a good muffler, resonator and some 3.45:1 diff gears to make up for the little bit of bottom end you lose with the 2.5"

Considerably cheap (about $650 max) and you'll have your baby seeking revenge.

I didn't make a huge list as it's all been covered before and I'm guessing your just after that little bit extra.

Jake.

Take it in to Holden, and get them to hook up the diognostics computer.
It will reset everything back to factory specs, doesnt hurt if motor is stock, or even slighty modified.
Hunt down the prick driving the lancer, and find out how much "bottle" he/she is using. Not sure where u from, but I've been done by a "bottle "in the boot.
Good Luck !!!

nope he is a mate of mine from bunnigns where i work.....its got a k&n panel filter and a tuned exhaust and there is no way that he should be able to beat me imo......i need to line him up on a straight stretch of road and not at the lights turning a corner
cos i know it will be a lot different

Cheap quick thought-

Tank up with Optimax, then reset the ECU. I watched an ECU 'relearn' on a dyno with different fuel and it's quite amazing. Reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for 10-20 seconds then hook it back up.

Not seat of your pants power but it will run a bit better thats for sure.

Line em up on a dragstip and see how good that Lancer does when its whole 2.0 litres of engine capacity stares blankly at 100km/h plus!

Mrs Grantis1976 use to drive a Barina, and from a standing start, around a corner, I not suprised. Extra weight in Commie, Barina would come closs in the corners, find it easier to drive f.w.d. cars fast thru corners.
As soon as the weight gets a chance to transfer onto the rear wheels, it "see.ya!"
Unless its a genuine EVO lancer, which LOVE breathing mods, if u get the same result in a straight line, find somewhere to have a sacraficial burning of ur car!
Good Luck !!!
