  1. Like Davy said you'll be able to find many Lancer and Civic related threads in the forum Anyways looking at your requirements I'd say both cars fit the bill perfectly. I've driven both cars and neither of them is as comfortable as an Allion or a Premio - even a CS series Lancer feels comfier. But these are in their own league when it comes to handling and "oomph" If I were you Id' go for the Lancer - reasons OTOH are: Lancer: The better - looking one among the two (looks are subjective though) Many Lancer EXs are still with their first owners and are being serviced by the agent so you can verify the mileage via the agent -( you can find all information up to the last service done by the agent even if it's not being maintained by the agent anymore ) Better ground clearance (165mm vs 150mm) A rare sight on roads - Civic FD1, FD3, FD4 all looks the same and collectively there are many civics on the roads than the Lancers. Agent support, workshop network around the country FD4 : Not as rare as the EX so finding a one in good nick should be easier ( I mean, near your area. You won't have to travel a long way just to inspect the vehicle) Dashboard looks better (again, subjective) P.S. come to think of it, I'd buy the Lancer anyways. It's a Lancer after all.

  2. Never ever do that. 121 and 240 compressors are clutch driven and the 260 compressors are clutch-less variable displacement. 260 compressors tend to fail. When that happens some cheap asses bypass the electronics, gets a recon 121/240 compressor modifies it and fits it. Its larger compared to clutch-less compressor so will need some modifications. But believe me it won’t last long and will probably fall apart on the long run. Also it won’t give the same efficiency as the original compressor. So if the issue really is due to a failing compressor your best bet is to replace with a Jap recon 260 compressor. About a year ago, I replaced mine for 33,000/= including labour.
