What's the deal with Lancers

  Top of Page

More specifically, what is the deal with riced up Lancers 'boasting' not one but TWO cannons??

I saw two fine examples today.  One muppet had both his oversided fart cans angled out at one side, must have had to cut out half his rear bumper to fit them.

The other decided that his 1.5L I4 69kW Lancer must indeed require a 'twin system' and had a cannon hanging out each side.

Each to their own I suppose. But, seriously, WHY??  A dirty old 202 with the manifold only sounds better than what these things did.  Imagine the drone!  It would suck your brain through your ears after 5 minutes on the highway.

I know this isn't the most constructive of threads, but, come-on surely these guys can't seriously see the benefit of making their cars both look and sound ridiculous. 

Anti-rice vigilante anyone?? :vinsent: :tommy:

Two cannons on a lancer sounds extremly horrible, every example of it makes me wish I was deaf.

I do agree that 2 cannons on a lancer would be unnecessary, no matter what the engine mods. But by the same token, my GX runs a full twin system with 4 mufflers. Does this put me into a similar category? Id hope not as I designed the exhaust specifically to suit my drivetrain and engine mods.

Your case is different  altogether FLAWLS.
What where ripping on is those bog stock GLX  lancers that have the standard  centre pipe the last section split in two with two cannons on the end.

All of which serves no purpose other than to be noisy.

Gotchya. Then yes, they are wankers for doing this mod.

As a question-how many of these riced up Lancers have stupid Greddy, Blitz, Drift and Turbosmart stickers on the front edge of the front door?

To be honest I've not seen any, I'm beginning to think its a wives tale.

Nik, So you don't ever see multi-coloured VL's and think, "Omg, there's trouble waiting to happen..."
It's not so much the cars, or the mods. But nine times out of ten, the people driving them ARE trouble makers. I personally think they should be pulled over and fined just for driving such a car wink . Its just a pity that the authorities view these cars and their driver's as "Enthusiasts" and "Highly Modified vehicles" as neither are either.

I see many of these guys pull into our carpark, park diagonally over 2 parking spaces and walk in asking for either stickers or 100 Mile an hour tape cos their car is falling apart. I think the reason they double park is OH&S so if their car self destructs, it wont damage the car closest to it.

I agree these guys arent enthusiasts or owners of heavily modified cars, they are knobs who are out there giving the genuine guys a bad name.

When I pull in to pick up my Bendix Ultimates from my local Mech., the bloke in the 997TT probably thinks I'm a dingus for not having a ceramic brake package.

I do the best I can, and everything I do, I do for fun.

I'd have to disagree there mate.
The bloke in the  997TT, is every bit as much an enthusiast as your self. So he could understand why your car is the way it is.

And i guess were going down this road here at the moment, but the "Lancer" driver's, are the guys that sit in the car park saying "Look at that POS" as 300kw Comodore/Falcon/WRX/Liberty/Anything goes past. Just because it doesn't have fuly hektic body mods.

So now after shooting myself in the foot, i bid you good day wink.

I actually seen a hektic mirage this morning with the fully sik cannon, eminem music that I could honestly hear clear as day from about 100m away and about 5-6 stickers running down the front of the drivers side door. I was just hoping a cop would drive past and execute him on the spot for playing such god damn loud music.
