Lancer Ralliart/EVO X questions.

[Tinkles]

DSMs are not my thing, but I might be picking up a 2010 Ralliart this weekend for a DD. My understanding is that they both share the same drive train(smaller turbo) and assuming suspension. Basically when I shop for go fast parts do I have to search for Ralliart specific or can I just shop for Evo X parts?

Depends. I am not familiar with these cars but things like exhaust would be model specific since the Ralliart will be FWD and the EVO is AWD so the piping is routed differently. Intakes are probably different if they are different turbos. The suspension could be the same but I know on AWD and FWD Jukes they are different.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the latest(last) gen evo's ralliarts are awd too... the 8 and 9 variants are fwd without a turbo

Oh wow really Pas? Okay, I just looked on the Mitsu website and it looks like you are right.

So, essentially, a catback system should work but I am still not 100% sure because the EVOs definitely have exhaust pipes exiting on both sides, while non EVO models have it exiting on the right. Though, all aftermarket EVO exhausts I have seen bring it to a single muffler to the right so I would think you would be fine on catback exhausts.

Turbo back exhaust would be different in the turbos are different. Suspension will be the same.

Ralliart is its own platform. The AWD system is not the same as the X; its more of a Limited-slip awd like you'd find in a crossover suv(Honda CR-V).

If your gonna mod you might as well get the better car... an Evo.

They share the same transmission as the evo x mr (automatic with flappy paddles). If you want to do some research, check out projectlancer.net. There are a few members over there that have Ralliarts, and will be able to help you. Tell them that EricGTS (me) sent you.
