RRM Stage 2 Camshaft

This mod was sweet. really makes mivec more like turbvec. <-patents pending.

It only effects the mivec range but if you have your breather mods all done it really brings out the best in your car. def. worth the money and a great way to finish off your ride.

9/10 only b/c it wont work as well without other mods to support it

RRM Clutchline

If you have a hard clutch, any clutch, that is not the stock one you need this, simple to just have your modulator gutted, but if you dont want none of it, this is the way to go.

Ok, this removes the gummy felling when you press the clutch( If you have aftermarket clutch, u know what im talking about), the clutch feels firm and nice, easier to modulate, helps you appreciate having a clutch even better

If you dont remove the modulator, gut it or whatever, say goddbye to your master clutch cylinder, and that's a 125 dollar mistake. Happened to me, dont let it happen to you

sri, pully kit and tie bar combo

I installed my rrm sri intake first to evaluate any difference. At around 2-3k you notice the nice sound it produces (10/10). Also i felt an increased push after the engine goes over 3k, although with this mod alone you notice little gain (9/10). But, i must point out you should all expect this type of gain from this part. Hence, the high rating still.

Next,
Pully kit

Like all newbies, i was worried about how the pully would affect my lighting, power windows, increased vibrations, engine and etc. But, after installing this part all those worries vanished when driving the car. First of all, you notice gains all over the band, especially 1st and 2nd gears. As for the light dimming issue i didn't notice a thing different. Power window, vibrations, radio, A/C all the same.
This part is outstanding and every lancer owner should own this one!!!!(10/10)

Next,
Tie bar

I also drive a 2000 honda prelude sh and i wanted the RA to have the same feel and handling when doing off-ramps and corners. RRM's tiebar is a great part. Personally i feel that this tie bar alone had accomplished what i wanted the RA to do. For those who are daily drivers and occassionally like to take a corner fast, this part is for you. The car feels more solid when driving on the highway and when on the off -ramp its justs hugs the turn at high speeds. This is a great part(10/10)

RRM Catback Exhaust

just finished installing mine with alot of help from my dad. installation was a breeze (i'm glad i didnt take it to a shop to put on). only hard part was getting under my car since its so damn low. we ended putting ramps on the back and cement blocks up front.

the exhaust sounds nice and quiet. at first i didnt notice a change in sound until i stepped on it. there is definitely more power up top too. only regret is not putting it on sooner

Finally got the UDP installed. Said installation should take about an hour, well, 20 minutes is more like it....if you can find the tensioner. The instructions don't tell you where the tensioner is, took me a few minutes to find it. But once I found it installation was probably the easiest thing I have done on a car. Results from the UDP were astounding. The pickup I recieved from it was very noticeable, definetly the most noticable upgrade I have done so far. Best bang for the buck IMO. A+ to RRM on this one.

rrm intake manifold

a must for any ralliart owner...from day 1, any external upgrade i would say made me the happiest was the ported n polished intake manifold from road race. i would give this part a 10/10 n highly recommend it for any1 looking for serious gains for there mivec.

zaklee torque damper=

it made no difference and now it makes a clicking noise everytime i let off/on the gas. i now have to spray lithium grease on it once a month to keep the noise away. def. not worth 139 bucks.

Quaiffe LSD, RPW clutch RPW lightened flywheel

Quaiffe LSD.. every car that I have driven that has had a LSD in have been very ordinary there is always something about them they can be noisey you have to center the steering wheel after you have turned a corner. So after talking to RPW they decided the best LSD for the car and me is the Quaiffe - to say I am rapt with it is an understatement this LSD is great - it self centres, loss of traction near on nil, noise level is non existant...
10/10

RPW clutch this was also another item that had to satisfy me 100% it is a semi ceramic and as such they can give you an on or off effect they can be difficult to drive around carparks at low speed without being a pain in the butt due to the nature of not being able to slip the clutch a little... also it needed to be able to out live and out perform the stock clutch... new clutch has done that it feels just like a stock clutch but needs about 20% more physical force to engage and disengage which is not all that bad as after a few hours of driving I was well and truely had become accustomed to the new feel - I have only done a few minor launches at 3000rpms and it holds very well.
10/10

RPW lightened flywheel, not sure how to describe this or know exactly how the differences are apart from the physical weight it is much lighter than stock ( obvious) I suppose because the clutch and flywheel have been perfectly matched it has removed an side effects that a performance clutch can sometimes come with

Summary the total package works, it is such a user friendly package the car responds in a way that I had only dreamt of... this now means that we can now add more power to the car without it being wasted on loss of traction and low rpm launches we can now go much harder

RRM Pulley
This is the best mod on my car so far, I can fell a difference in the way my car pulls in the low rpm range, and it also accels alot quicker. Which helps out alot since i have the auto tranny....10/10 must buy for any ralliart.
