'09 Mitsubishi Colt upgrade to Ralliart... Possible?

[Andurron]

Hey everyone on the Jap Chat forum. This is my first time posting here, and it's mostly a theoretical question as being a filthy unemployed graduate (at the moment) I haven't got the necessary funds for this, but just in case...

I own a 2009 Mitsubishi Colt CZ2 with the 1.3L engine, manual gearbox. Now the top of the range Ralliart one has a 1.5 Turbo engine, and as far as I'm aware, uses similar bits to the common-or-garden one. Although I am almost certainly wrong, please feel free to correct me.

I'm debating doing an upgrade to the Ralliart engine at some point in the future, and also doing something with the very high, very squishy suspension on the CZ2. As someone who isn't into the tuning scene very much but is very interested to learn more, can I get your guys' take on this? If you guys know places that specialise in this, whether I could use the Ralliart Engine from the '05-'08 Colt, and what sort of suspension upgrades to use, I'd be really appreciative.

Thanks!

no.

If you want a ralliart version just buy one.

An engine swap is just the start, you need brakes, suspension, roll bars etc etc

Not only will you have insurance issues but dealing with the dvla and changing the log book may be problematic, as they request an engineers report.

Far cheaper to sell your car and buy the Ralliart one.
