Next month, my uncle is passing on his Lancer to me since he hit it big with bitcoin and cashed out last week...

You gotta be willing to put more than 5000 into it, especially since you need to replace cvt with proper gearbox

CVT on those overheats like fucking mad if you drive it hard, if you add any power you will be replacing the CVT every 30k.

Maybe look into something to cool the CVT first? I don't know shit about them so I don't know if you can add an auxiliary fluid cooler to fix it.

Don't do anything because that ct will kill it.
If it was a 6 speed auto, i would say go for something. Just cherish it, and upgrade to a ralliart or Evo if you end up liking it.

If you drive the car above 90mph or "aggressively" your car will display "SLOW DOWN" on the dash and start cutting throttle until it comes to a stop. Once the CVT in these reaches temperature limit it will stop the car to save the transmission.

It's probably the worst car you could possibly put money into.

there's no way this thread is serious, it has to be bait I refuse to believe anyone can be this retarded

I don't plan on a body kit, unless it is subtle. Nothing crazy. I like your idea of a rear wing though.

Straight piping it would be a no-no, but I'm looking for some HP gains with an engine that can actually breathe

read the post again faggot. I can consider doing more if the gains are fucking worth it.

Alright sure. Suppose I have $10,000 to throw away. What can I do it?

Oh that's a fucking disappointment. I mean, I (usually) won't be pushing it past 75 on the back roads near my place, but will I get in trouble with a lead foot?

CVTs man. Can't do anything to this car cause of the fucking cvt

This is my first real car, as my previous one was a '98 Corolla. Thats why im asking for Veeky Forums's opinion, dipshit.

Engine swap and replace cvt with manual
But there are much better cars to do such things on

well, you could buy another cheap car and mod the fuck out of it since you already have a reliable DD if you fuck up the project. Modding this thing is just pointless.

>cvt
Nothing to do here.
