The problem with tires is that if you pick something too sticky then you'll potentially create even more issues with understeer and you'll cook your brakes that much faster.
Saw a guy in a high mileage $3k 07 Camry V6 at the track once. He did this exact same thing -- swapped wheels/sticky tires and better pads. Since it was the v6, he was literally *KILLING* it. Total sleeper.
@@joshuafallet5690 i really want to get two whole subframe assemblies of some 2GR camrys (engine, gearbox, suspension, etc), and stick them under a yaris shell, one in the front, one in the back. maybe chuck on some TRD superchargers if I find the money.
I love this! I bought a lancer for $170, put some used AO50's on it and it's done heaps of events both off road and on track. Some of the best motorsport fun I've had!
Don't know why, but I actually feel a sense of proudness for that car, it's like it pushed itself out of its limits and wanted to be like the others. Keep going, Little Lancer!
@Seasexnsun I remember Toyota sold a Turbocharged version of your car too. Had close to 150 hp (that's what an average 2.0L NA makes). Drove the heck out of it in Gran Turismo and it reaches just over 200 km/h on its own stock. 🤣👌 It's like a fwd Lotus Elan.
@@coolsupermanfly24 look at the new mirage my friend drives to work. I rode in it for shits and giggles cause i used to own a 2001 mirage and he owns a 2016 mirage. Everytime this thing went over 50 i thought i was gonna do a barrel roll and die
I love seeing slower cars going around the track cause it seems like so much fun despite not going fast. I would love to see more of this car on the track
Also a must for any car that is over 10 years old and that lived all its life in the rust belt, install new ball joints and new rubber suspension parts! It might drive fine on the road, but on the track, an old dry rotted bushing or ball joint, especially on a double wishbone setup, can snap at any moment! I learned that the hard way when the ball joint snapped on my '97 Civic.
@@luisvilla799 as simple of a job it might be, I'd leave to a mechanic just to be safe that the job is done right. I just saw another Honda with a snapped ball joint that caused a major traffic jam on a 2 lane highway. Better be safe than sorry.
Spare was already deleted. From experience the rear seat weights about 5 lbs. The passenger seat maybe 30 or so? The car has like 80 horsepower, let's not stress about it.
Got a 94 Civic EX coupe at a public auction for $250. 273k on the odometer with the original engine and trans. The old girl is practically begging to be hooned.
Lancer with good tyres and brakes are pretty handy. In fact for a really long time a Lancer actually had the record for the downhill on one of local touges.
Please make a restoration of this lancer, i own an 05 Ralliart and really love it, they are really great cars!! And the 2.0 have some afetermarket and can make some decent power!
I've always said the most fun daily is an economy sedan or hatch with a manual transmission, sticky tires, brake pads (at least the pads), springs and maybe some sway bars. This was cool to see go around the track. Great video!
12:10 through the end is exactly why I drive. It doesn’t matter if your car is built, bought, +10 seconds, -9 seconds, junk or super car, it’s just about the joy of driving. Love this one 👏🏻
"This car's probably crappier than anything you drive.." Me - Drives an 04 Lancer ES TBH I'm super glad you enjoyed the car! Mine has some light mods, but i feel somewhat validated thinking how fun it is to drive!
Loved the video. I can relate to the fact that the “worst” car creates the biggest laughs. Everyone was laughing while driving just as I laugh when I drive my $200 ranger... good times
More of this! What a blast. I want a Top Gear style upgrade list on the same course to see how much you can get that time down, what's most effective for tracking etc.
Thank u for showing ppl u dont need a fast car to have fun. I have an 03 Oz Rally Lancer with 208k and it still runs like a champ, even tho I beat on that thing everyday.
Love tracking my CRZ for exactly the same reason. I've been flat out full lap in most tracks in so cal. All it needed was some ceramic pads and sticky rubber to be a riot. I've now put brembos up front and stiffened up the chassis with a front sway bar and it's the best thing since sliced bread. Anytime I track it, my friends want to go out in it because it's so fun.
I feel like a lot of people forget the point of track days, TO HAVE FUN! While yes it can be fun to try and shave a few seconds off your best time, or make your car that little bit faster, Don't get lost in that, At the end of the day the best cars are the ones you drive with your foot to the floor, and a big grin on your face. (Coming from someone who had both a shitbox 1.2 clio, and a even rougher 205 xs with 85Hp)
The tires are actually give the most return for the investment when you really cash strap but still want to have fun. I am going to quote a slogan from Pirelli:"power is nothing without control." I used to paticipate a community organized autocrossing. When Ive done an upgrade from a tread wear 600 4 season tires to a 300 sport tires, the differnt is day and night. For a short 40 seconds autocross track, I can easily gain 3+ seconds a lap. The additional grip allows me to brake less, brake later, stay on power longer, put down power earlier and even shift gear less frequent. It is a joy to even thinking about it.
Man, that made me smile. I used to do track days when I was about 16 with my brother and I've missed it so much. As of two days ago, I purchased a 2008 Sentra SE-R Spec V and I plan to do some track days next year! So stoked to go from lifted trucks to something like this!
I tracked my FWD 2005 Matrix XR. First track day I upgraded the front rotors and brake pads to high carbon (yes only the front, the car has drums in the rear) and snagged some used Yokohama ADVAN AO48s from work. Drove to Streets of Willow and ran the entire day with no problems- had to wave plenty of people by. Second track day (a year later) I upgraded the suspension with some lowering springs, Tokiko blues, and a Front Strut Tower Brace. On the same track, Streets of Willow, I knocked off a whole minute of my time from the first track day and kept of with plenty of cars around the corners. On the straights I still struggled a bit since I didn't upgrade power/internals as I don't see the need for it. I still have the high carbon rotors and pads (replaced these some time ago), lowering springs, tokiko blues, and Strut Tower Brace. Car still runs happily as my daily beater and is fun around the twisty corners at over 190K on the odometer.
@@GearsandGasoline I had lots of advice from fellow drivers and a few ride-alongs that made me push the car and myself a lot more. Also, turning O/D off on an automatic makes a world of a difference hahaha
To answer the question : if its a Japanese made car , then definitely yes .. my friends and i once took a camry SE to the track , excessive body roll , nose dive every time you brake hard and many other stuff but it was huge fun .. i would never do that in my CLS mercedes because im not sure about the outcome lol ..
OMG 😂😂 i have a Lancer GL with no airbags and no ABS but i love her, its slow but soooo comfortable, in fact i love Mitsubishi and watching her doing tracks etc makes me so happy, thanks for this video GG ❤❤
Nice to see TMP Cayuga get some love :) It is a very safe track being so flat and having lots of room if you go off. It also hosts winter track days for those who like to play in the snow.
I know I'm about 2 years late and the Lancer is probably no longer in Gears and Gasoline's possession, but I think it would be a cool idea for a series to see how much it would cost to turn a beater Lancer into a track eating machine. You know, things like better tires and wheels, coil over suspension, better brakes, a few engine mods, stripping out the interior, giving it lightweight bucket seats, maybe even adding something like a roll cage or a turbocharger.
As someone who has a 1999 Mazda Protege 1.6 that is built for amateur endurance racing, I can wholeheartedly agree with this. My car has been raced for over 10 years, and is still on the original engine @ 104k and over 10,000 race miles! Eco cars have very cheap consumables and burn through them at a much lower rate than bigger higher HP cars, which makes them fun at a low cost. I'm currently at 2280lbs, but there is still a ton of stuff to remove and/or replace with sheet aluminum. I hope to get it under 2000lbs, it's basically a FWD 1.6 NA Miata LOL
The first time I went to the Nürburgring was with my daily 90bhp diesel powered Citroën Xsara wagon. did well for what it is, and made the 600kms trip back home without a single issue. Now I track a Peugeot 406 coupé V6, 210bhp, 1600kgs. Good brakes, good tires and good suspensions are all you need to have fun on a racetrack. Next mods are buckets seats, because it is tiring to fight against the car to stay on the seat while cornering. For a cheap car with no power, cheap mods are well enough to make it the best fun you can have on a racetrack.
my first car(sold it a few months back and got a 2013 passat) was an 03 lancer es in a lot worse condition and I wanted to take it to the track as a sweet goodbuy but all the parts i had to put on it just wouldnt allow me to ); The listed 120 hp for those cars would be a dream with how beat up it was when i got it, even the exhaust system was falling apart so it was LOUD and backfired so much so i threw a mini wing on it to give people on the road some joy. Bitch burned and leaked oil, both calipers locked up at different times and started fires, purge valve was shot and heat welded, all 02 censors failed and were heat welded, and the alternator lit up in flames one night. $3k in repairs and sold it for $400. Bought it for $1.1k and had it for over 2 years. BEST CAR EVER
Nice to see a big TH-cam channel do something with the Evos little brother. Owning both of them at the same time is pretty cool. A '98 Evo 5 and a '07 CS3 Lancer "Elegance" as they were known in the UK, obviously the Evo is a different model and shape but the CS3 shares a lot in common with the Evo 7's, 8's and 9's and have a big cult following! I love mine. It's the perfect daily. It's fast enough, and good enough on fuel to drive daily and just behind the Evo, the most comfortable car I have owned! If you plan on future videos, some coilovers or even just some H&R lowering springs like I've got on mine help massively with handling and body roll! They can be great little cars!
This was called the mitsubishi lancer cedia in India and we had this car from 2006 to 2013 .This was a D segment sedan and the previous gen lancer was sold as a C segment from 1998 till 2012. You see we didn't get the fancy All wheel drive tech in our lancer but It was still a good fun to drive car . The Lancer cedia which we had used to have 2.0ltr petrol engine detuned only to make 114hp in order to meet emission norms . This was half a lancer to you but still a full lancer to us in India . If mitsubishi was there today with the lancer still in production I would have loved to get my hands on one of these as my first car or maybe a used beater car to learn and live with.
My econobox was transformed with better tires, power stop z23 pads and mild suspension work. Can't do much for the engine without a swap or FI but it's a ton more fun than it was from the factory. Helps that it weighs under 2,600lbs, too.
I own a 1998 Honda Accord LXI 2.3 5spd, 195k miles, and 135hp when new. Stock all season tires, stock brakes, stock suspension, stock everything, it drags it's feet (or tires lol) to 60mph in 10.8 seconds, but it takes corners like a champ, even on stock tires. I have not had the chance to track it, just street driving with no other cars lol. It barely understeers on streets, and on tight corners it oversteers so much the tail kicks out. It'll only be better on coilovers, thicker sway bars, wider wheels and stickier rubber. It'll also be getting a full engine build, twin cam head swap from an H22, and a turbo, hopefully ballpark it'll make 400hp at the wheels. Then it'll really keep up with real cars at the track, around corners and on straightaways. Cheap, slow cars are a blast to drive fast!
@Seasexnsun how did you manage to get from 1nz 328hp, even in turbo version(150hp) max potential with stock pistons rods etc is 200hp? but the car is really good, looking to buy one for fun daily driving, can you tell me how is the car in general, consumption, and overall your experience of owning it. Thanks
Old Honda crx cost 500 bucks swap f22c1 1600-1700 bucks plus. Chinese conversion kit 430 bucks and breaks from CR-V 1 gen and rally car skillet around 500 bucks. Lol
I have a 06 ralliart fwd lancer. Manual swap completely stock and well kept. A 2.4 that produces about 150 hp ttw. I track it and surprisingly for a mitsubishi it never breaks down. Btw the handling is insanely good.
That's literally where I'm at- I have a $350 1992 BMW 525i wagon that's been 5-speed swapped, and I'm taking it to the track next weekend. The best track car on a budget is the car you already have, just make sure the brakes and fluids are sorted.

Ebay coilovers, ebay brakes and stripping most of the car would make it super fun honestly
Soooooo my 98 Camry is good to go?
Bottom line- good tires and brakes are a MUST.
tires have always been the best upgrade you can do to a car. A cars performance is ultimately limited by its grip potential.
Those are the best first upgrades to do to a car.
Only thing that touches the road in a way the most important thing on your car 100hp / 1000hp all must translate through the tire 😂🏁👍🏼
The problem with tires is that if you pick something too sticky then you'll potentially create even more issues with understeer and you'll cook your brakes that much faster.
Is semi slick tires a must?
Saw a guy in a high mileage $3k 07 Camry V6 at the track once. He did this exact same thing -- swapped wheels/sticky tires and better pads. Since it was the v6, he was literally *KILLING* it. Total sleeper.

I'm currently at 2280lbs, but there is still a ton of stuff to remove and/or replace with sheet aluminum. I hope to get it under 2000lbs, it's basically a FWD 1.6 NA Miata LOL
Those cuts on the track were absolutely killing me 😂😂😂
I occasionally track my daily, a 2000 civic. Stock engine, some suspension and brake mods, nothing crazy. And it's a riot, I love it.
That's a reliable Mitsubishi you have there!
The first time I went to the Nürburgring was with my daily 90bhp diesel powered Citroën Xsara wagon. did well for what it is, and made the 600kms trip back home without a single issue. Now I track a Peugeot 406 coupé V6, 210bhp, 1600kgs. Good brakes, good tires and good suspensions are all you need to have fun on a racetrack. Next mods are buckets seats, because it is tiring to fight against the car to stay on the seat while cornering.
For a cheap car with no power, cheap mods are well enough to make it the best fun you can have on a racetrack.
Love how the other drivers are laughing just because how slow it is lol
I had the very rare 04 USDM wagon version. Loved it. I miss my baby. Should have tracked that

my first car(sold it a few months back and got a 2013 passat) was an 03 lancer es in a lot worse condition and I wanted to take it to the track as a sweet goodbuy but all the parts i had to put on it just wouldnt allow me to ); The listed 120 hp for those cars would be a dream with how beat up it was when i got it, even the exhaust system was falling apart so it was LOUD and backfired so much so i threw a mini wing on it to give people on the road some joy. Bitch burned and leaked oil, both calipers locked up at different times and started fires, purge valve was shot and heat welded, all 02 censors failed and were heat welded, and the alternator lit up in flames one night. $3k in repairs and sold it for $400. Bought it for $1.1k and had it for over 2 years. BEST CAR EVER
The lancer is considered a enthusiasts car in my country.
Psykotic which country ??

not the cedia though.
Damn at 10:33 the rear right tire was literally flying in the air!! Reminded me of Evo fq400 vs lambo review by Jeremy Clarkson on top gear!!!
"this car is probably crappier than anything you have"
Me looking at my Prius C in the garage...
Hmm....
lmao
That looked like a blast. One doesn't need 600Hp and an 8 speed transmission to have fun. Thanks for a great video.
What I learned from today's video: play INTESENSE MUSIC to go FASTER!
Nice to see a big TH-cam channel do something with the Evos little brother.
Owning both of them at the same time is pretty cool. A '98 Evo 5 and a '07 CS3 Lancer "Elegance" as they were known in the UK, obviously the Evo is a different model and shape but the CS3 shares a lot in common with the Evo 7's, 8's and 9's and have a big cult following!
I love mine. It's the perfect daily. It's fast enough, and good enough on fuel to drive daily and just behind the Evo, the most comfortable car I have owned!
If you plan on future videos, some coilovers or even just some H&R lowering springs like I've got on mine help massively with handling and body roll! They can be great little cars!
Brb selling my Integra, this seems to be more reliable
The hell did you do make an Integra of all cars unreliable?
@@urbi3006 I put a supercharger on it lol
This was called the mitsubishi lancer cedia in India and we had this car from 2006 to 2013 .This was a D segment sedan and the previous gen lancer was sold as a C segment from 1998 till 2012. You see we didn't get the fancy All wheel drive tech in our lancer but It was still a good fun to drive car . The Lancer cedia which we had used to have 2.0ltr petrol engine detuned only to make 114hp in order to meet emission norms . This was half a lancer to you but still a full lancer to us in India . If mitsubishi was there today with the lancer still in production I would have loved to get my hands on one of these as my first car or maybe a used beater car to learn and live with.
I thought about a title you could have for this video
I stole my grandma's car and I went to the track with it! (Non clickbait)
Zip7 my grandma wouldn’t be caught dead in that Lancer. Just sayin
What do you mean ?
@@zip7906 Just sayin, my grandma wouldn’t be caught dead in that Lancer.
My econobox was transformed with better tires, power stop z23 pads and mild suspension work. Can't do much for the engine without a swap or FI but it's a ton more fun than it was from the factory. Helps that it weighs under 2,600lbs, too.
Omg you know how long I was waiting for one of your guys amazing perfect car culture show
I own a 1998 Honda Accord LXI 2.3 5spd, 195k miles, and 135hp when new. Stock all season tires, stock brakes, stock suspension, stock everything, it drags it's feet (or tires lol) to 60mph in 10.8 seconds, but it takes corners like a champ, even on stock tires. I have not had the chance to track it, just street driving with no other cars lol. It barely understeers on streets, and on tight corners it oversteers so much the tail kicks out.
It'll only be better on coilovers, thicker sway bars, wider wheels and stickier rubber. It'll also be getting a full engine build, twin cam head swap from an H22, and a turbo, hopefully ballpark it'll make 400hp at the wheels. Then it'll really keep up with real cars at the track, around corners and on straightaways.
Cheap, slow cars are a blast to drive fast!
For once my POS is on a thumbnail, I was like.....woah my crappy car on a cool TH-cam video, nah
This was the way I and my friends started doing track days, original cars with good tires brakes, etc. and we had fun like never before.
Ah yes, I have always wanted to track my 2009 Honda Civic Ex.
8:39 lancer is a gokart confirmed, tire jack and all.
10 hour drive to a decent raceway.... yeah this is why road laws are broken
I'm pretty sure they went there to do some shooting of gridlife, not really because they had to for this video.
Honestly base lancers are also very fun !!
**rushes out to buy a beater car**
@Seasexnsun how did you manage to get from 1nz 328hp, even in turbo version(150hp) max potential with stock pistons rods etc is 200hp? but the car is really good, looking to buy one for fun daily driving, can you tell me how is the car in general, consumption, and overall your experience of owning it. Thanks
@Seasexnsun huge thanks for this big review) hope soon will buy it)
Absolutely lost it at "had to give a point by" hot damn this is good!
is this car a 1.6 litre? if yes its called mitsubishi lancer glx in singapore
it has a 4g69, its a 2.4 litre

Keep the lancer and make it even more fun!
First channel I have seen on TH-cam to torque the wheel nuts. 😂
This honestly just goes to show, sticky tyres and good brakes and you can have a ton of fun in absolutely any car
Old Honda crx cost 500 bucks swap f22c1 1600-1700 bucks plus. Chinese conversion kit 430 bucks and breaks from CR-V 1 gen and rally car skillet around 500 bucks. Lol
I have a 06 ralliart fwd lancer. Manual swap completely stock and well kept. A 2.4 that produces about 150 hp ttw. I track it and surprisingly for a mitsubishi it never breaks down. Btw the handling is insanely good.
Can you beat your track car? 🤔🤔🤔
Drift missiles 💜
You know your having fun when your fwd car has its back wheel off the ground going through a corner
That's it, I'm stripping wifey's Echo!
Just saw a video of a turbo Ls RWD swap Echo
I love how he uses " lil guy " to describe the car
That's literally where I'm at- I have a $350 1992 BMW 525i wagon that's been 5-speed swapped, and I'm taking it to the track next weekend. The best track car on a budget is the car you already have, just make sure the brakes and fluids are sorted.
10:10 this dude about to flip the car 😂😂
