Yea but there is only so much rallying you can do in a FailWheelDrive car.

That would be true if I wasn't trying to get Monster to sponsor me for Rally/Show.

Good luck with that one bro! Im not trying to be a dick or anything, but if you want them to sponosr you for rallying, you pretty much already have to have a dedicated rally car, and not a pretty much bone stock car. Sponsors want to see work that has already been done to a car, and lots of it, tons of potential in the car already for racing, and lets be honest, fwd cars dont have much rally potential. And then for show sponosorship, youve also got to have a ton done and a show qaulity car, trophies won, and recognition. And not just trophies from the small show down the road with 10 cars there, but big name shows, such as UltraEvolution, HIN and etc.

Sponosorships from big name companies like Monster, Redbull, Rockstar, NOS, AEM, TEIN, and anything likethat arent just givin out like candy, you have to stand out above the pack.

Like I said, not tryin to be a dick, just reality checkin. I mean I'm not tryin to be cocky but I have probably the most moded car on the site and the most trophies, and its hard for me to even get sponosorships from small places, let alone a big name company like that.

I'm glad to have the feedback, true. Everyone starts somewhere at one point at Zero and work their way up the number line (not literally a number line). I have pretty big dreams, I understand. Most people do tell me what you did, and I'm slowly, but surely, working my way up to getting money for the mods, getting into shows, and hoping for some rally races. I'd rather have a show car than a Rally car, but that's just me.
Again, thanks for the feedback. I got my first sponsor by luck & a few pictures, nothing more. I have a looooong road until I get Monster to consider me!

Soon going to get Twin Turbo, full cat back exhaust system, yellow fogs, pure white HID's with "AE's", sports tuned, ceramic brake pads, Cold air intake, drilled/slotted rotors, light-wight fly wheel, new audio system by Kicker, and much more. 600 HP minimum.




I'm not trying to be a dick again, but have you done any research at all on Twin Turbo systems? 4 cylinder cars are not effective at all in running TwinTurbos. If you did the turbos would have to be soooo small that there is no point in even having them.

i would have to agree with ben man... you would be better off just using a ralliart or evo turbo than running a twin turbo. you would get the same/if not more boost from a single bigger turbo than 2 smaller turbos and it would be a lot less work than trying to hook up a twin turbo system to a 4cyl. just my opinion.

And they said a black man couldn't be president, and look where we are now, lol.
I have big dreams, so did MLK. Nothing is impossible, but I will consider getting a RalliArt turbo instead of twin. Thanks for the tip Destroytherunner!

Lol. Problem solved indeed.
I may end up getting a supercharger. I don't know yet.

I think if you would like to be different man I think you should set up a supercharger system for our cars. We have seen that our cars are already torque happy and if we could use some of it to get some serious hp and more torque gains it would be impressive. Just my opinion. I think if you contacted a local speed shop that is knowledgable with a supercharger setup they may cut you a deal to create and implement an expirmental product.

We think alike! :p

Alarms Ect. has done some car work for me before in the past, as well as window tint for this car. I'll ask them what they can do. I like the idea of having a unique car, and most Lancers (cars in my area, too) have either a turbo, or NOS injection. Supercharger is different, as well as quicker for the extra buck.
