    Hey people in April I bought an 03 lancer oz rally. It turned out to be a horror story but I'm sticking through it. The ass that owned the car before best on the car and didn't know what he was doing. The power steering system was shot and the entire pump n the lines with the pressure fitting needed to be replaced because put brake fluid into the power steering system. It was burning so hot that the cap on the power steering fluid bottle was melting.... The transmission had a small buck to it when it was going from park to drive or reverse (yes it is an automatic) I know you don't have to say it...... Anyway long story short about the transmission the casing was cracked and jb welded together... The bell housing was bent so the transmisson that wasn't even for a lancer would fit it had a 2 bolt connection only not 4 or w.e it's supossed to be. And then when my alternator died the bolt fused to the alternator so i had to sawzal it out... So that's about what I've gone through fixing it.

    I'm getting out if paintball and if I sell my whole gearbag I can afford either a sevond block and build that either with or without a turbo, just build thf block I have now, or really see how much work it is to find a ralliart motor and drop that in. I'd like some help and advice with the work.
