Damn I miss my R//A! I'm going to get another one some day.

Hope you don't mind me posting an update of Blu...

Terrible cell phone picture, but you get the idea. These are the same wheels I planned to put on my R//A, but never got the chance.

 

Ive heard from so many people that owned RA's that they want to get another one after driving something else. Even a few guys that moved up to Evos have said the same. LOL

Blu is looking good though. The wheels look really nice on there! The rears look tucked in pretty far in this pic. Any plans on spacing them out? Might just bee the angle though I cant tell.

 

Hello everybody! I am a new 2005 Ralliart owner from Gatineau, Quebec. It seems like there is a huge community of people from the Ottawa region in here which is great.

I used to own a 1993 bmw 320i for the last 6 years which was slammed to the ground on bbs wheels. The car was super sexy and fun to drive, but I got tired of how unconvenient it was and wanted something more recent and reliable. I think I found the perfect balance with this car : not too expensive, reliable, and fun to drive. I'm pretty stocked so far!

I just have a small problem to fix with the Solenoid purge valve that is stuck open, so my car has a hard time to start after refueling. Easy fix, but good thing this community is here to feed me with answers

Here is my RA :



I'm planning to keep it as simple as possible and keep it cleaaan. I might be tempted to tune it or change the exaust one day, who knows...

Cheers!

hackish lives in Gatineau, he can hook you up with a solid tune

 

Thanks! Yea, the rears are pretty sunk and negative cambered cause of the drop. I still need to get an alignment, then I'm gonna space them. Just got a lot going on right now so money is tight.

 

Sweeet. Love that. What are the big advantages of his tune?

higher rev limit, 2-step launch control, leaner AFR + advanced ignition timing = more power. It has much more than that, and more stuff is coming. Modding is pointless without tuning.


You pay the price, you get the tuning software, and a base tune, and it's all done by simply reflashing the stock ECU...so you can tweak the base tune for more power, either by yourself if you're comfortable or you can have him fine tune it, since you're so close, but any tuner would be able to do it for you...it costs less than an RRM piggyback and timing box, and has way more features.


I ran a 15.3 second 1/4 mile on street tires with his N/A tune...stock, my 1/4 was 15.8 seconds...Doesn't seem like a lot, but to put it in perspective, I later ran a 14.6 running 8psi on a 14b turbo, and Hoosier R6 up front. Now I run 13.8 at 12psi with a bigger turbo.


every half second requires more and more power, and the power requirement increases exponentially.

 

I'm still here but my car hasn't changed much since last year because of financial issues.

I do have a new full set of 99 Eclipse OZ F1's that will be going on my wagon as soon as I have the cash to get tires.

Oh.... Little to no mods except audio stuff. Had a SRI set-up but ditched it. Centric premium rotors if that's anything to talk about, they were a significant improvement over stock and super cheap on rockauto. 155k miles.

 

For obvious reasons, I'm a bit biased towards your white wheels, but I too, was playing around with gold:

 

I think I like ^^^ !!!

 

I love my white wheels but since everything in our cars is red accents: Red front strut brace, red sri, red (by myself) custom stitched steering wheels cover, red head unit, and red seat stitching, I have thought about powdercoating my aforementioned OZ"s red.

 

I think the gold looks good!

Your wagon makes me jealous. That rear spoiler and front lip really make the lines of our wagon stand out.

 

Hey, I just got a RA and I've been wanting to do that same fender flare thing to mine and I was wondering what size are your wheels and are you lowered at all?
