Well the end has come for my Ralliart. She has been sold to a new home. The vehicle that launched all tuning for this platform a will be delivered to a new home tomorrow morning.

It is a sad day to see her go I watched my son grow up in this car. It spawned the business relationship formerly known as UVTUNE. As all are aware of the issues between Hackish and myself I do want to thank him for the time effort and care he put into this car. To all that know this car and watched its development from NA to Turbo to Supercharger back to turbo, I want to thank you all for the compliments that Mike and I both received during the years.

I will still continue to provide Merlin XML Definitions and the best possible customer service I can offer for this platform.

Not sure what is next time will tell.

Cheers!

Brent

 

Sad to see another one go. Hopefully the new owner will pop up here on the forum.

 

Thank you for everything Brent...without you and Mike, my car would not be where it is now...

 

 

I have a couple of vehicles to look at today. This may sound bad but I hate car shopping.

 

what are you looking at? sporty? coupe, sedan? I'm guessing it's not going to be a mirage

 

That would be correct no Mirage, I am not sure I would fit in the flippin thing...lol

I am back with the custom exhaust, there seams to be some life there. I will continue to tune and provide service for this platform that won't change. Next car won't be as involved and the Lancer thats for sure. I am looking at a couple of BMW 330ci and one M3. There is also an 4.2 V8 Audi S4 that has caught my eye.

 

Sad day indeed...

 

Sad day indeed. I'm like Ikea Monkey today...

 

tough choice...both great cars...what generations are you looking at?

5,555 posts!!! that's like 3.8 posts per day...and i go days without logging in sometimes...(believe it or not)

geez, what the **** have I been talking about?

 

Congrats on 5,555... lots of free time!...LOL All serious you have been a great source of information and the first to do a budget turbo build and showed the community it can be done.

One car is a 2002 the other a 2004. I have made my final choice as of last night. It is a minor project needs a bit of work but that is the fun of it all. If all goes well I will be bringing her home on the weekend and will post some pics.

 

Sad day indeed! Good luck on the new buy.

 

lol...the sad thing is I post more from work, than home...


can't wait to see the new sled!

 

LMAO me too!

Cant wait to see the new car Brent!
Wish I wouldve had the chance to see your RA in person once! lol

 

Hey Brent, your news is bittersweet.

I was a real car mod newbie when you (and hackish back then) began all that fantastic pioneering work on the Lancer. It gave me confidence as I watched your successes and hardships, from both the forums and in person. The fact you have always been there to help our Ralliart community shows what a standup man you are, no matter how rough the (undeserved) criticism got or how great your wins were.

Our paths will cross again, I'm sure.

Cheers, my friend!
