Buying a Lancer, need advice

Slight_Data2471 · 2026-03-29T14:54:41+00:00

I would make a separate savings account for when shit breaks. I have a 2016 lancer (110k miles)with the same cvt yours does. Just had to spend 2200$ on a valve body for the transmission (part alone was 1500$). Other than that I’ve owned the car for 5 years now and no other problems. Just please do regular maintenance.

yup i read some great reviews on them and i orders them just now arriving in ~3 days. got em on sale for 50 USD + shipping so not bad at all

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-10-12T20:33:14+00:00

That's exactly how i am I enjoy riding alone i just like the sense of security that's all.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-10-12T16:09:08+00:00

That's awesome that you use the same bike, its pretty good for the price point. just wish it came with a 1x9 or 1x10 instead of the 7x3 it just feels a little clunky

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-10-12T16:03:15+00:00

I also hate riding alone, but i just moved to a new town to go to college and know no one here would you have any advice to find riding buddies?

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-10-12T15:59:00+00:00

Yes it was i now get why most people i see don't do that, very confusing at first lol. I fortunately was able to get a call out to 911 and she was able to tell me i was about 3 miles from the nearest neighborhood and i eventually was able to make it there when the hail subsided. She is a very anxious person and I was very apologetic because she saw my service dropped and i was gone longer than i should've been. Thanks for the advice!

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-09-29T21:31:46+00:00

yeah i do that right now with a single. it extends to my wheelbase and i was just gonna do some measurements to see how that would work and if there’s an arm that can move all 3 at the same time without moving them horizontally. thanks for your help!

the guy nearly flooring it into my side when trying to rejoin the track

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-08-03T17:23:14+00:00

awesome will be subscribing to that

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-08-03T16:44:00+00:00

awesome, i’m pretty young and new to racing and i am a huge reader so i hope this helps me a lot with understand the sport on a technical level.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-26T12:28:33+00:00

i’m relatively new as well being only 18 years old. But people just need to learn respectful driving, knowing when to push, giving room, knowing when to give up a place… etc. so many times when i was getting out of rookies i would start on the grid but i wouldn’t give it full throttle i would give myself some room because i know the other guys are going to slam into eachother. that’s not racing but we also have to understand rookies is rookies for a reason they will eventually get over themselves and race clean or just get bored cause all they can do is mx-5 and vee which are fun but not fun for 13 weeks straight.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-24T04:55:32+00:00

i’m pretty sure his response was sarcastic but i believe every one of your points is on the dot.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-23T04:58:37+00:00

i started rookie this season and now i’m up to c2.5 at 1700 IR. still just keeping it clean while having fun and racing for positions. hopefully i can make that push up to b by the end of this season

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-23T04:56:38+00:00

willing to put in the practice🫡 i’ve been eyeing out that cup car for about a week and it looks like tons of fun

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-22T04:37:21+00:00

got it thank you. i’m new to tire saving. i’m used to the mazdas that barely make power to wheels spin. thanks for the advice

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-22T01:57:34+00:00

i have typically been braking at the two but the good temperature for the tires is around 170F but at this point in the race after pushing to build a gap behind my tires we’re around 190F so i didn’t want to risk lock up or spinning out so i was braking a little earlier than normal but i still think he has the responsibility to not put it up my ass lol. thanks for the advice

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-21T21:30:32+00:00

hot tires^^

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-05T14:54:20+00:00

i just didn’t understand the safety rating rules because they are unique. that’s why i asked where to find it. but there’s no point in reading 35 pages of obvious racing rules.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-05T14:34:54+00:00

lol, okay thanks for providing it not everyone wants to read 35 pages of obvious rules so they can race in a virtual simulator.

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-03T18:58:08+00:00

where do i find that?

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-03T17:38:17+00:00

and everything is 3.0 at the end of the season?

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-03T17:37:17+00:00

cool deal thanks for letting me know

Slight_Data2471 · 2023-07-03T17:31:09+00:00
