the ralliart!

[Ralliart26]

my so far basicly stock ralliart! saving up for some mods

[MTZL]

Welcome to the Club! Nice Tarmac Black. Nice Stock run 13.9 who where you running against?

[Ralliart26]

Some guy and his 08 civic si 4 door

[TheBlackBeast]

Nice! Welcome aboard. Cool to see a stock 1/4 mile run time.

[LUCENT]

Dude nice R/T man!

[2010 Rallihead Sportback]

very nice, also loved seeing the time you got

[CarGuy]

I'm sure it won't stay stock for long. Welcome to the site!

[Jdmboi]

welcome.....i a newbie also.....nice color.......

[Ralliart26]

So far I am running an Evo X Intercooler and bov, nisei upper intercooler pipeing, injen CAI, UR high flow cat, Greddy cat back, and AMS base flash with boost pill. I went to the track this past friday and was running a consistent 12.8's. Hopefully by next spring i will finally put on the Evo x turbo thats been chilling in my room.

[zeRep85]

Nice! I plan to drop my Evo X turbo around that same time!

[Tuqwik4u]

How much power to run an 8.1? My best is a 8.591.

[Ralliart26]

I'm not entirely sure on my Hp numbers :( im still running the AMS base flash. however when i do the evo turbo swap. I was going to run the dyno before and after the swap to see the gains! so i can tell you then :p

[Tuqwik4u]

Well 8.1 in the 8th is very very qwik. Do u live in SoCal?

[Ralliart26]

actually i live on the exact opposite side of the U.S. :p I live I Maryland.

[Ralliart26]

Final track day was today so I decided to go there and test out my new tweaked ecu! I was quite pleased with the results a 2 tenth pick up in the 1/4 mile! :D I'll try and post up some videos when my friends sends them to me

[Ralliart23]

thats impressive :) what rpm do you launch at?

[Ralliart26]

3,000 rpm :)

[Ralliart23]

have you ever gone higher? or do you feel that that is the perfect threshold?

[Ralliart26]

I've tried and I've gotten a SLOW DOWN message on the dash. haha. The trans over heats and puts the car into limp mode. 3 grand seems good!

[Tuqwik4u]

Damn you are crazy fast!! Can you list your detailed mod list plz. Are you sure you dont have the X turbo? I havent heard of stock turbo RA's doing times like that.

[Ralliart26]

GReddy Ti-c catback
Ultimate racing high flow cat
Evo x intercooler, lower intercooler pipe, bpv
Nesei upper intercooler pipe
Injen cai
Ams reflash,boost pill
And I'm stock turbo for now! Evox turbo will go in spring time hopefully :D

[Tuqwik4u]

My buddy with his Evo9 dynoed at 345awhp (Intake, Bigger frontmount with piping, Full exhaust, Stage 1 clutch, Cosworth 272 cams, C-spec tuned @ 25psi) He did an 8.0 in the 8th and a 12.6 in the 1/4. Crazy, I know wih our SST we dont need as much hp to run with higher power cars. What ecu tweaking was done? You went from the base flash to the re flash right?

[Ralliart26]

Yep stock to reflashed. Then had it tuned for my intake and cat delete, had the shift points moved up a little. Not sure what else ill have to go back thru it and let you know. That's crazpy our sst's can fly with such minimal power.

[Krisko]

Got a quick price tag for those parts? Im doing a lil shopping of my own and I wanna see what im looking at. Also did you add them yourself or a mechanic?

[Ralliart26]

Honestly most of them are used:D I doubt if I've spent a grand on my car! Haha and to add to my last post I'm still running the ams reflash just had them tweek it.

Will that HighFlow Cat still pass smog?

I did 13.4 1/4 mile with EVO X FMIC, UICP, LICP & evo ix bov & Tune from Bryan@GST. Sports mode in Manual, ASC off, no launch. Just timed the tree when it turn second yellow I gradually press the throttle. Shifted every gear @ 6k rpm. I tried 7k I over rev'd & bounced off the limiter 1st & 2nd gear @ did high 15 sec. lol.

Great runs! :cool:
So what did you do to shave .2sec?

[Tuqwik4u]

How much hp and tq MTZL? Stock intake and exhaust?

[MTZL]

How much hp and tq MTZL? Stock intake and exhaust?

225whp 233wtq 21.1psi peak from 3.5k to about 4.5k rpm to 14psi up top @ 6k+ rpm.

[Mkid]

Do you get better times in manual mode? I would think it would already shift at the perfect time in sports mode auto.

Honestly I have no idea if a highflow cat will pass smog testing! haha Where I live we don't have any testing for that... I let the car shift itself seeing as the shift points are set to 7500 maybe more. I do a little launch going up to 3 grand up if you hold it to long your car goes into limp mode. I sent my map back to Chris@AMS and he changed a few things around for me. I'm guessing just an upgrade to the stage 2 re-flash? I gave him my parts list and he went to town. I will be doing a custom dyno tune when I do the X swap. I'll probably contact SSP see if i can use there tuner seeing as I live 30 mins away. Maybe by then they will have cracked the tcu as well!:p

[Ralliart26]

Here is my current set up! New rims, And I'm going wingless again what do you guys think? Wing or Wingless?

[Tuqwik4u]

Honestly i can't decide between the two, They both look sick. Great wheels.:eek:

[Ralliart26]

Honestly i can't decide between the two, They both look sick. Great wheels.:eek:

Thanks man haha! I really like them the wider tire really helps around the twistys! Heres something I got in the mail today.

[ralli_kid]

I say go wingless =]

Makes the car stand out a lot more

The spoiler makes the car look like a gts =/

[Ralliart26]

This week I have a little project going on!, Friday-Sunday I changed my timing chain, which stretched from what it looked like millimeters... Next I swapped out my trans fluid for SSP pro gold, and added my DIY trans cooler ;) Finally to wrap the week up TURBO SWAP! as of right now I have only taken out my stock turbo.

[Ralliart26]

Turbo's finally in, worked on it a little everyday after work. A lot easier than I thought. Now I'm working with Mitch from ams to get my car tuned. I'm pretty excited to see how it preforms.

[Insane11RA]

Looking good, cant wait till its done.

[Ralliart26]

Finally took my car to the track! ran 12.1 all day final run of the day ran 11.92! :cool:

[vplukas101]

what turbo are you running?

[KyleKitchen]

I can haz your car now?

[Ralliart26]

Evo x stock turbo! I was quite surprised with the time.

[Ralliart26]

Grabbing a Do- luck trunk tomorrow, And talking to South Side performance about tuning my car a little more see if i can go a little quicker :D

[vplukas101]

how much was it for all of the lines and other misc things?

[Ralliart26]

how much was it for all of the lines and other misc things?

A little less than 500!

http://www.oemmitsubishiparts.com/

Here's where I found the parts for the cheapest. It was well worth it.

[vplukas101]

so manifold turbo and alll the little misc stuff and i can be as cool as you? :confused: :o

[Ralliart26]

so manifold turbo and alll the little misc stuff and i can be as cool as you? :confused: :o

doubt it :cool:

[vplukas101]

doubt it :cool:

:( after seeing how you got in the 11's once i get a daily evo x swap is coming

[Ralliart26]

Its really alot different from my last set up... I had 270hp before and now 320... still in the tuning process... but it pulls so hard! and sitting around finding used parts really shaved the $ off of the x swap price tag... It might have been as much or cheaper than the upgraded ra turbo

[vplukas101]

hows the gas mileage :D

[Ralliart26]

hows the gas mileage :D

25mpg! not bad for an 11sec car :p

[EricS09RA]

how much total did the swap end up costing you?

[Ralliart26]

Well I did the ssp gold fluid change and extra front mount oil cooler with it all... All said and done including the trans fluid it was around 1800! SST trans fluid is like liquid gold...

[vplukas101]

did you install yourself?

[Ralliart26]

Yep everything was done in my little garage! That probably shaved a few hundred dollars off the price tag... Do-Luck trunk is on! :cool:

[BravoZero]

Nice! I would only get a carbon fiber trunk or hood if I had a darker color car. Wouldn't look right having a silver car with a dark hood and/or trunk unless it was heavily modified, and I don't want to spend the money to get it painted either. It's pure carbon fiber looks or stock for me.

[Ralliart26]

yeah I dont think I will paint it... Looks good with the carbon fiber weave.. It was off of a White evo x, It look actually really good on the white

[jRox]

Congrats on breaking into the 11's!

[BravoZero]

Here's my engine bay! Pretty simple nothing to fancy.

[Ralliart26]

Damn that looks serious!

It does look pretty good! Definitely a lot better than stock X bpv.

Something fedex dropped off!

[BravoZero]

Nice! What's your exhaust setup? I forgot. Aftermarket downpipe on it as well?

[Ralliart26]

I've got a rexpeed downpipe, UR highflow cat, and greddy ti-c exhaust ;) I have my rear O2 sensor disabled and was just going to replace it with the one for the gauge, anyone tried this? or have heard someone doing it?

[Ralliart26]

Haven't been on the forum in a while, here's the last thing I did before my car meet its end :( I had the entire engine bay powder coated. What do you guys think? Shortly after my evo x turbo and oil pump seized. not sure how or why. Basically no oil ran through my motor and tore up quite a bit of stuff... The only thing left are my rods(which I wouldn't trust) valve and valve springs.

[Ralliart26]

So far its been 3 months since my car has blown to shit. I'm about to order an new block, head, turbo ect. and rebuild my car ;) Needless to say I am pretty excited. The car has been kept in the garage and i've been doing little stuff to it here and there like a tow hook, trying to make it look pretty. Hopefully it will be running soon, maybe have a little more powa than before... mid 11's?

[xwxspawnxwx]

What you have to do to install that tow hook in the front and what kind is it?

[Ralliart26]

It's a eBay special! Just drill a hole and screw it in.

[wwralliart77]

Oil pump failures are becoming a common issue on the 4B11Ts; that's how my motor failed.

[BravoZero]

Where abouts in MD are you located?

I like the tow hook, might look into doing something like that for mine.

[Insane11RA]

Cute lil towhook lol,pocket rocket better be ready before import vs domestic.

[Ralliart26]

I'm trying...:D Should put the order for all the parts Monday should only take me a month to build it

[Scarab23]

i noticed you said you are buying a new block. its your perfect opportunity to buy the 2.2l ams block. i want that but have no reason to buy it just yet and its a hassle. if your rebuilding and are serious about power, don't go with the oem block, get the ams 2.2

I wish, I'm only twenty can't afford that:/ maybe when I start making real money. I'm getting the stock block dirt cheap, from my uncle who works at Mitsubishi. then using the f'ed up block for later projects bore it maybe a Stroker.

[wwralliart77]

^ It's not an issue with the oil; it's a manufacturer defect.

[Ralliart26]

^ It's not an issue with the oil; it's a manufacturer defect.

So it could happen again if I reuse the oem oil pump :(

Short block and Head ordered :D Looking at turbos, cams, injectors and intercoolers right now. So far I've decided on Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors haha. Any suggestions on a Intercooler?

[wwralliart77]

If I recall correctly, I don't believe there are any aftermarket sources for an oil pump. I'm afraid it's OEM only, just like the timing chain.

As far as intercoolers are concerned check out UR, AMS, and ETS. These companies make some quality products. I went with UR being that it was the cheaper route, but their products are not cheap by any means. I also like how you can see the welds on the piping; makes it look more function over form.

[Ralliart26]

I'm going with AGP intercooler, fp red and gsc cams!

[Jackal]

This thread has been a real great read so far, just make sure you guys post the results of all your proposed installs.

I am interested in hearing about anyone who has or is going to install the following:
After market injectors 850 to 1100 cc
Any other turbo upgrades other than Evo X Turbo upgrades. IE FP Red etc.
Any other engine upgrades partial or complete IE cams, cranks, rods, pistons etc.
or transmission upgrades.

Bump for more feedback!

I don't really post that often, just normally read. but ill defiantly keep you guys informed on how the car holds up with the turbo cams and injectors. I'm also switching to 0w-40 oil maybe help the pumps lifespan

[wwralliart77]

I'm going with AGP intercooler, fp red and gsc cams!

^ I only know of one other person that ran a FP Red with supporting mods on a RA. He was pushing a lil over 500 awhp; his shh only lasted like 2 months before it blew though. Make sure everything is done correctly and don't skimp out on parts. I look forward to seeing your progress and hope everything works out well for you. GL!

[Ralliart26]

I will have a conservative tune, no where near 500awhp. hopefully It will last me long enough to save up money again :o

[wwralliart77]

^ Glad to hear that you'll be keeping it within certain limits. My mistake was not building my original engine as you are. Now I'm stuck trying to fix it so that I can sell it and try to recoup some of my money back. I'm still tempted to go all out with it and possibly utilize it though! :D

__________________
Ralliart26

I am a little confused as you say you want to prolong the life of your oil pump, then why ow-40 and why not 0w 20 instead? The zero rating is meant for winter driving and especially cold starts as it is a little thinner viscosity when cold allows you to turn the engine over more easily when the block is artic cold. The 40 on the end indicates a thicker base thus some people seem to think more protection but it still has to flow through the same size oil passages because those don't change of course. The problem is pushing the thicker oil through the passages at higher RPM requires greater force and thus puts more stress on the OEM oil pump which we know can have issues. So if we put a greater load on the pump how would this help increase the pumps lifespan?

You could do us a favour and see if you could get readings as far as oil pressure with the factory oil and then again after you change oil and repeat. I wonder if the ECU tech software records these values of if any one knows of a simpler way to do this comparison.

Another question is after talking to several other racers at the local Motorsport park which has both road racing and drag racing several of them have told me they are producing slightly more power at reduced engine temps after switching to Royal Purple motor oil. I was shown some before and after graphs and there was a small difference but I guess when your racing every little bit helps. Has anybody here used Royal Purple on their R.A and if so what spec?

[Ralliart26]

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/motor-oil-101/

this is a good read.

My oil pressure gauge is actually coming in today, so ill be able to keep track of the oil pump, better be safe than sorry. Ill try and do a write up of the install too

[Ralliart26]

Arp headstuds on order. Just in case I go over 25psi

[wwralliart77]

Damn I'm so jealous! :D Might just have to sell both my engines and go with an AMS crate engine to get back at you ;)

[Jackal]

What is this White RA Versus Black RA?
I feel like I am 10 years old again reading a copy of Mad Magazine and I got got to my favorite part SPY Vrs SPY LOL !

Sounds tempting dosen't it? :p If you did that I'd have no way to compete...

Grimmspeed 3port came in today along with my oil pressure gauge :D

[Insane11RA]

Great news! Might have the rocket ready before MOD! BTW I need an a qoute for a wideband and boost gauge install hahaha!

I might have it done! Wideband and boost gauge are the easiest gauges to install baha

I just got a call saying my motor and head are on the truck headed to the stealership :D I'm picking that up today and I'm ordering the turbo, injectors, and cams this afternoon ;)

^ So your original head wasn't damaged?! Why not go with a pre-built head with all the components already installed such as Buschur Racing? I found that to be a cheaper option in my case since I had to replace my entire cylinder head assembly.

[Ralliart26]

yeah my original head was trashed along with the cams. Only thing left was the valves and springs. I bought a new head super cheap from my uncle who works at mitsu, and my cousin pressed in the vales for free. In the end it was cheaper.

[zeRep85]

So I'm going with the CBRD BBX instead :cool:

Lite or Full?

It is! I couldn't imagine doing all this without a little help. It would probably cost twice as much. I wouldn't even want to know the bill if I hadn't done all the work myself (pulled and replace the motor)

[BravoZero]

Nice dude!

[MTZL]

Interested in seeing how that BBX full with all your goodies do.

I remember seeing Electric pump for Oil & Water before..
I have no experience with those either, always wanted to get one.
this maybe one of the things to look into.
Oil pressure is good thing to keep an eye on.
Good luck with your build. Hope you get it up & running soon.

I'm excited to see how everything pulls together also, I wonder how laggy the bbx is going to feel compaired to the stock Turbo or even the x Turbo. I put a oil pressure gauge in and will be keeping a close eye on it, anyone know where the oil pressure should be at idle/cruising/and wot?

[Insane11RA]

Looking good! Let me know when you going to put that puzzle together, I'll supply the grease for your elbow hahaha!

or you can just save me all the trouble and do all the work for me!!

I'm thinking my next buy will be coilovers anyone have some or experience with any brands. Right now I'm going with KW coils

[BravoZero]

I have BC's, BR-series non inverted. They're good for daily use, car handles a lot better than stock shocks. If you're considering BC's, go with at least 8k front and 6k rear spring rates, I ended up getting 6k front and 4k rear, so these are definitely not set up for track use, too undersprung IMO.

[wwralliart77]

I'm running the D2 Racing RS Series coilovers with no issues. Definitely gives the RA a much stiffer and responsive drive. I really like how you can manually adjust the spring preload along with compression and rebound to your liking. I would highly recommend these coils to anyone who's interested and the price being under 1k doesn't hurt either! Here's some of the features.

Key Features:
Full-length adjustment and height adjustment for separate setting of the height and spring preload.
36 levels of damping force adjustment (compression and rebound together).
High performance mono-tube design.
Teflon (anti-rust) coated threading.
Pillow-ball upper mounts with front camber adjustment plate included on most strut style front suspensions. Most other applications include aluminum upper mounts (without camber adjustment) for the front.
When applicable, aluminum upper mounts for the rear coilovers are included.
Constructed from 6061 aluminum, powder coated to a unique purple finish.
Spring and damper rates engineered to work optimally together.
1 Year Limited Warranty (Rebuildable and serviceable in the United States).

I know absolutely nothing about coilovers, any good sites to read up on to make my decision?

Project put off for another week, went to drop in the cams, measured the valve clearance, some were a little to tight... Ordered some new tappets maybe next weekend:mad:

[Ralliart26]

new valve tappets on order and I'm ordering a larger fuel pump from Ssp. Stocker just isn't powerful enough for my setup

[Ralliart26]

Finally got everything bolted up! tuned the car:D turned the ignition... didn't hear the fuel pump kick in:mad: took the pump out check all the lines wiring and everything is hooked up. Looked at all the grounds everything is fine. My relay wasn't kicking in(still have the black relay) ordered the new relay pack. hopefully that solves the problem. If not back to the drawing board.

[BravoZero]

Progress, brother! Very cool.

[Insane11RA]

Text me so I can drop by, we need to install my gauges too.

[Ralliart26]

Cars together and running great! working with SSP getting it tuned. Its finally broken in and I switched to Amsoil. Trying out this, god like oil to see if its all its cracked up to be. The BBX is quite laggy compared to the X turbo. But its not really bother-sum. You can sorta hear the cams at idle its a little rougher than stock, and my 1000cc injectors are getting me 20mpg:mad: I'm assuming once its finished getting tuned the car will be able to squeeze a few more miles. We are about to start tuning for more powa :D I have virtual dyno to estimate hp and tq numbers. My ecuflash is acting up. I just flashed my car... and have been logging for a while. Now I've got a new tune but ecuflash wont like me read, write, or compare the rom? strange.... any ideas?

[BravoZero]

Glad to hear it's coming along! The fun part begins now... getting it dialed in perfectly.

Was that you at Import vs. domestic yesterday? I had my car in the show, not sure if you saw it. Either that was you or someone had the same license plate lol

[Scarab23]

maybe too late, but make sure you check AMR engineering for coil overs. Andy is a great guy and all the coil overs are custom one-offs made to your liking. definitely top quality. nothing beats them for the price.

they don't advertise the "ralliart" coils on the site, but they do make them, i have them, and i think Sly has them too.

if you are interested give him a message. you are getting your moneys worth, trust me

Ha, do you have the purple IC pipes with the single exit exhaust? If so, I put a card on your driver's window for another group I was with.

I was there with another 2008 GTS and a 2011 white Ralliart.

[QUOTE=Ralliart26;25504]Nope not to late, Still looking probably start saving up for them after Christmas. How do you like yours?


they are not on my car yet. i have talked to many owners of amy coil overs, including people with evo x's, ralliarts, civics, etc. and they all say the same thing, they are unbelievable. i can tell just by looking at them they are the real deal. message sly if you want some info of how they ride.

just do some research though. you'll find time after time unreal reviews on them, and more importantly the company and owner. I've only read about good experiences.

in my mind for the price, you can't beat these guys. they are more expensive than bc's but the quality is unsurpassed. you get what you pay for. custom machined and anodized parts. full customization of spring rates, shock length, if you want camber plates or not, pillow ball mounts or not, bushings. etc.

look into them if you are serious about performance and price.

[BravoZero]

Haha Yep yep that was me. You drove by me when I was by the car, I love the borla!

Thanks, I've had a lot of compliments on it, and a lot of forewarnings as well to be careful around cops, lol. I've been told it's kinda loud.

[eyedreamt]

I was there as well with the white RA. BravoZero and I were inspecting your car with a fine tooth comb trying to figure out what all was done. I guess now we know. lol ;)

[sstevojr]

These AMR's you speak of, are they not released yet? They don't even list 2008+ Lancer (the base from which to build Ralliart versions):confused:

they are released, they just haven't updated their site to include them yet. if you email and inquire about them they'll tell you they have them. that is if you don't believe i have them ;) haha

I was looking around for you, I lost your number so I couldn't call:(

[Ralliart26]

Here is a dyno graph on Virtual Dyno of my old set up. Tuned by Mitch at AMS Bolt ons + evo x turbo. This is the set up I ran 11's on. I'm hoping with my new set up I'll have a little more powa... It peaked at 330hp 280tq. not sure how actuate Virtual Dyno is, but it just give you an idea. I will put up a graph when SSP is finished tuning my car.

Starting to log my car for SSP to get some power out of it. Thought I'd share how to hook up your AEM a/f ratio gauge to EvoScan. Fine a serial to USB cable(got mine at radio shack) any will do, solider the serial wire from your aem gauge (blue wire) to the second pin on the serial cable and solider a grounding wire to the fifth pin on the serial cable. Next in EvoScan, select Wideband (WDB), select AEM UEGO. To figure out the COM port being used, click Wideband, Open Windows Device Manager, find your adapter. Find COM ports in the list and determine which one matches with your USB adapter. Select the appropriate COM number in EvoScan. Enable WDB (External WideBand A/F Ratio) in the Items to Data Log in EvoScan now you can log your AEM gauge in EvoScan :D

[Ralliart26]

[BravoZero]

Finally finished tuning with SSP... The car drives so much smoother compared to my last tune. SSPs tuner answers emails quickly and helped my figure out a few problems with my car. He also recommended parts for my build! When I was finished I felt as if I should have paid him more for all the work he did... I can't wait to take this thing to the 1/4mile... ;)

Any SST slipping?

[Ralliart26]

Negative ghost rider, but eventually it will I'm sure.. I've turned my coil over fund into new clutch pack fund haha. Spent the last week working the bugs out of the trans.

[Ralliart26]

Just ordered some Pentosin FFL2 for the trans. I'm going too make my own oil cooler and change every oil in the car before race season;)

Nice! Let us know how the FFL2 works.

[Ralliart26]

Got my rear diff oil, Trans fluid and I'm waiting on the oil coolers and lines I ordered. Also bought a quick release fender kit. I'm also getting rid of my GReddy Ti-c... its way too loud. fun at first but I want something more quiet so I bought the magnaflow cat back tonight;)

[BravoZero]

We're gonna name you "moneybags", lol.

Good stuff though, what's this quick release fender kit you speak of?

[Ralliart26]

My fenders keep popping out I guess from taking it on and off so much.

Let the rattling begin!

[BravoZero]

Rattling is nothing compared to the traction you'll maintain on launch.

[Ralliart26]

You can definitely feel the difference with the motor mount, it was super easy too install. This weekend I changed my oil, changed my Trans fluid, installed a whiteline rear sway bar, installed my custom oil cooler and painted my rims very productive :) I put FFL-2 into my Trans, so far I've had OEM Ssp gold and now ffl-2 it feels exactly the same as the rest. I wish I new about it sooner it would have saved me aton of money haha. Oil cooler install went pretty smooth. The whiteline sway bar was a PITA!!! If you've ever looked under your car you'll see the rear diff is in the way... yes you have too unbolt the rear diff and rest it on the ground. I have an impact gun so it wasn't ha too ha rd its definitely doable at home. Haven't driven it yet with the sway bar but I'm sure ill be able too tell.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n604/theNEWB311/2012-03-04_13-01-17_402.jpg

[MTZL]

Nice build. Wish you post pics of the process.
None the less, very awdsome.

I would've used a second jack to hold the rear diff while unbolting vs on the ground. ;)

Waiting for more updates & your further review on the torque mounts & RSB. :cool:

Waiting for my front & rear sway bars too.

[Ralliart26]

Thanks! Yeah I normally don't take pictures. That's what i did, put the car on jack stands and lowered the diff with my jack. Worked pretty well. Ill report back with my impressions of the sway bar when I hit some twistys later. As for the motor mount I guess u won't know till I hit the track. But just street driving you can feel how stiff it is. Its probably my favorite mod so far.

[BravoZero]

Good stuff man!

Take it easy, +1mph at a time. I hear RSB make our RA tail happy. What setting do you have it at? first, second, or third hole?

[Insane11RA]

Can't wait to see your times at the track, when is MIR opening it's doors?

[Ralliart26]

Can't wait to see your times at the track, when is MIR opening it's doors?
This past weekend was opening weekend lol. Still getting my tune tweaked and may get a o2 dump downpipe before I go.

I have the sway bar on the second setting. Ill play with it more when my endlinks from racing line come in.

[Insane11RA]

Text me the next time you go.

Here are my sweet Racingline rear endlinks!(they are just evo front end links)

http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n604/theNEWB311/2012-03-12_14-18-49_947.jpg
This install took about 15 mins, Itll probably take a little longer if you don't have a lift.

Started at the softest setting, It may be my own stupidity but I could't even get the endlinks into the harder settings.... the stock strut was in the way.

[Ralliart26]

What happened?

just scraping I'm guessing, last time I put it up, just had too zip tie it together, driving the other night all I heard was a loud scraping. Its completely destroyed...:(

[BravoZero]

Damn, that sucks. I'd get something back on there ASAP though. Otherwise you'll have even more destroyed parts.

What rear swaybar is that? Doesn't look stock. How are the new endlinks? That's something I'm thinking about adding once I get my new Swift coilover springs installed.

[MTZL]

Those end links looks really close to the springs. Maybe its the perspective of the camera?

Im getting whiteline FSB & RSB soon thinking of replacing the end links too but not sure which one I want to get.

That sux about your splash guard panels.
Cool oil cooler. I'd be alittle worried about the cooler line hanging there with no splash guards.

Get a different surface or table. We can powdercoat that. :)
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n604/theNEWB311/2012-03-12_14-19-10_447.jpg

[Ralliart26]

It's a whiteline 24mm swaybar. the endlinks were only like 70 bucks, they are so easy too install and defiantly stiffen up the rear end. The sway bar was a PITA haha dropping the rear diff is a must:( but if you have a few hours jack stands and a jack its doable

[BravoZero]

I've read on EvoM that several people were able to unbolt the differential from the brackets without touching the driveshaft, enough clearance to wiggle the old one out and install the new one.

I'll see how the new coilover setup feels before doing that, more important anyway. Either way, looks great dude!

[Ralliart26]

Yep it was three mounting bolts, took an impact too them, had the jack right under the diff and lowered it. the sway bar went in really easy after that.

thanks man!

My sweet gauge pod project;)

[BravoZero]

Whoa, that's unique.

[MTZL]

Nice, third one down is little too high up, dont you think? I know you probably ran out of room on the dash trim. Maybe relocate the third one in front of the first pod under the vent?

Very nice.

[Insane11RA]

Manufacture it, wrap it in cf - instant moolah!

[BravoZero]

I dunno... now that I look at it more, wouldn't the gauges be a little too far away? I'd have to have something within eyesight and not have to turn my head, that's why I'm mounting mine on the steering column.

Too much stuff behind it, If it were moved under the vent. There was nothing behind where they are at now. I was originally going too move the hazard and put them there... but the hazard is a ground I guess for the radio... not sure how the navi works might be able too do it then. The last one is that way too be able too see it lol.

Manufacture it, wrap it in cf - instant moolah!

I wish:rolleyes:

They are a little out of the way... but I think it'll be better that way. When they were right in front of me I was nonstop checking them... probably dangerous. Now I only check them every so often. personal preference I suppose

[Ralliart26]

Here is the final product may redo it a little but its good for now lol.

On the contrary, especially with your setup. AFR and boost are two of the most important things to watch, I'd rather have them right in front of me so I can pay attention to engine speed, vehicle speed, coolant temps, etc. But true, it is personal preference.

[xwxspawnxwx]

I think you did a great job but as said before it comes to personal preference and if it was me I rather see it in front of me.

Like I said though props for doing a good job with it though.

[RalliAaron]

I really love everything youve done with the car, props on creativity and doing your own thing. Keep up the good work, and post up new times with the new setup!:D

Lastly, had the flex section of my downpipe blew, So a Map external dump is on the way:cool: Once everything is on, track times will come

[BravoZero]

Nice, let me know how the Depos work out for you. I've read the fitment is so-so with a lot of people. My biggest concern is the quality of the lenses. The last set of Depos I had were on my Eclipse. They were nice, but the lenses started to oxidize and yellow after about 6 months.

[Ralliart26]

The ones I got fit perfectly! If they do oxidize ill just retrofit them with the evo-r projector maybe do a quad projector set up.

I meant the outer protective lens. The projector in my old set were fine, just the outer plastic lens oxidized.

Not sure on DEPO's other stuff, but they're lancer headlights are really top-notch, nice quality and fitment, and no yellowish tint as of yet, still clear as day. :D

Nice, those fenders look like they fit perfectly.

[Ralliart26]

They do actually! They are 350 shipped on eBay, fiberglass. For the price they fit great.

[Insane11RA]

High wing, where's the wingless trunk?

[Ralliart26]

Selling it, I got sick of it after a while:( I'm always changing parts lol, now I don't like my rims so rim shopping is next haha.

[Insane11RA]

Baller! Text me before you sell it.

[Ralliart26]

It's already sold too one of my friends in the CCEVO club:(

[mangnok]

nice fender now i want it LOL

Once they are painted, ill throw some more pictures up of the fitment. It'll make your urge too busy them even greater
