Overview
Hello all,
This is my first modification guide post and i may be lacking alot of in-depth information to begin with so bare with me, I however would encourage anyone who wishes to add information to this guide to post through the information so i can edit it as i believe this post should be a solid source of information for anyone considering mods to the Ralliart.
The Ralliart lancer is the less refined version of a EVO X. Although on the outside they may look similar their are some keys differences between itself and a evo x being the injectors, turbo, exhaust systems, intercooler, bov.
Please note throughout this guide I refer alot to comparing a Ralliart and Evo X, I do this as the Evo is a weapon of a car and it's well documented for performance and as such it gives people who are considering modifications a excellent baseline to work upon
Here's a excellent review by Brett Middleton from MRT discussing the differences between a Evo X and a Ralliart:

Lancer Ralliart Stats:
Engine: 1998cc outputting 177kW (343Nm) Compression Ratio 9:0:1
Fuel: Premium 98 Octane
Transmission: TC-SST (Twin Clutch Manual) with a normal and sports mode(for more precise gear shifting) either operated in a automatic mode, gear selection via gear stick or twin paddles.
Drivetrain: AWD (active yaw control similar to that of the evo 9 drivetrain however a modified transfer case for the SST)
Brakes: Conventional Calliper, 406mm 2-pot front :406mm Solid Disc Rear
Wheels: 18-inch alloy, tyres 215/45R18 89W Yokohama's
Turbo : TD04HL-15T-7 Single Scroll generally sitting between 14-17PSI(stats are not always reliable on this as theirs alot of conflicting articles at what it runs)
Intercooler & BOV : Soft flexible piping for the UICP and LICP connected with a plastic OEM Mitsubishi bov
Suspension: Front: Independent Macpherson strut with coil spring and stabiliser, Rear: Independent Multi-link with coil spring and stabiliser
The Ralliart Runs between 5.5-5.8sec 0-100 depending on what year revision 2009,10-2011 and between 14.2-13.7(at best)sec on 1/4 mile.
The retail price onroad is $43 890 + more for extras. I managed to pick mine up for $41 000 brand new so it does pay to shop around.
Compare that to a Evolution X $61,190 on road, and you soon realise although it lacks some good features and needs some work on it's base stock features, to get a 2L Turbo EVO X Engine with the lightning fast SST gearbox built on a proven Mitsubishi drive-train for just over 40k(may get it cheaper if our dollar sky rockets
).
I don't believe theirs another Car Manufacturer offering anything close in value and all round performance ( A XR6T doesn't count it's a boat with to much power to control and Subaru's WRX doesn't have a twin clutch gearbox or a proper rally based driver-train).
