Everything these guys have said..... +1 I also think the UDP is the best "bang for buck" engine mod you can get.

 

sold!!....bit left field but thanks for all the info in this thread..after the Xmas break UDP is goin on the car, cheers

 

ive noticed the dimming as well but i agree with that fact that the underdrive pulley is definately an awsome buy... to RRM for a another great product

 

the out of range tps error is a software problem and there is a firmware update for it.

 

Is that the 05 recall update (I have an 04) or just something that pops up from time to time? If I pull the front ecu (yeah not the smartest thing to do w/o removing the neg cable but it's alot faster) it goes back into learning mode and runs fine for 10-15 miles before bogging out again. Is this a quick fix at the stealership or a "we'll have it done tommorow" type thing. I work odd hours and can't just leave it for them.

Oh and Joe, I'd never bag on *cough* RRM's UDP. I just wanted some more confirmation so just in case the stealer notices it on there they don't pull a "Your tire pressure was off by almost a full psi!!! No wonder your tps was affected by the altered wheel speed" type garbage they normally pull. It's the second easiest mod to put on our cars (intakes a little easier but not by much) and I've been screwing my mpg average ever since. It's just hard not to rev a little harder when she wants to go faster If only every mod made as much of a difference per ~100 bucks!

 

It's all good! Thank you for the continued support.

 

Joes EVO8 Thanks for stepping up and answering some questions for people and clearing up myths too! UDP is best bang for the buck on a RA for sure.

its a different issue, the 05 ecu update was to do with the vehicle speed sensor.
this is a bug that pops up from time to time on all RA's i know a couple people who ahve had it done.

if it is just the ecu flash im thinking of, it shouldnt take more then 30minutes to do.

 

Exellent! Hopefully I can get this taken care of this week then.
Thanks to everyone!

 

Update on the SES light. The next night after work I started the car and the SES (CEL) went off and hasn't come back since. Maybe cars do take after their owners... I certainly know I didn't want to go to the stealership lol. Might have had something to do with the cold snap we had recently that's temporarilly receeded. Fingers crossed it doesn't come back!

 

Humor me...did you at least find out what the code was?

 

TPS sensor error. I dont' remember which specific code number it was, just what the autozoned guy pulled up and cross ref'd. When I take it in for the 30k valve service I'll maek sure I get the firmware update. Well, that's if it doesn't throw the code again :P Just so anyone reading this doesn't mistake me on this: I never thought the UDP was the cause, I just wanted to make sure Mitsu couldn't deny a claim because of it. The cars back to it's normal tire abusing self allready. My "V8" buddies keep forgetting 'how peppy that little car is' and I still delight in reminding them.

 

Again SES would have nothing to do with the pulley.
