Full launch of ralliart USA soon?!

Hope I am not late on this one......

I frequent this site often and this is the first I've seen of this....

With the launch of the Lancer Evolution and Lancer Ralliart here in the North America it seemed like the perfect time to launch Ralliart and bring our customers some exciting new accessories to help them personalize their vehicles. Watch this site for in the very near future we will be posting a line of Ralliart accessories that will be available.



There are some nice pics of a Ralliart MR on the site as well...

John Mueller and his shop Road Race Chassis have been doing the suspension tuning (among other things) for the USA Ralliart cars. They had an '06 Eclipse with a 4G63 turbo motor and Muellerized suspension out for testing at Streets of Willow Springs racetrack in SoCal earlier this month.

Don't know if MMNA plans to offer that car for sale (I doubt it), but sure is kewl.

We had the opportunity to bid in on this program with Mitsubishi. I had all the forms and a shot at doing it.

This isn't meant in a negative way so don't anyone take it that way.

It seemed to me that the program was directed at a very large company to bid on, very corporate and out of our league. ISO9000 requirements etc. I have a lot going on already building the BR series cars and now branching out to other dealers with that program and thought it would be too much to handle and it seemed like a LOT of work and "redtape".

I would be willing to bet a large company such as AEM is going to ****** this up as that is what it is going to take to fullfill the program they have going on.

I just hope whoever does end up winning the bidding makes some quality high horsepower producing parts and doesn't just throw out some junk for the profit.

I'd have loved to do it, just felt rather than being a disapointment to Mitsubishi we'd pass on it for now. Maybe a few more years we'll have an in house bender/polisher etc.

Glad to see Mitsubishi behind the aftermarket !!!

Interested to see how this all turns out...

David, did Mitsu elaborate on what performance parts they are suggesting for this program? Or are you not at liberty to say...?

Yes, I received the full list of parts they are planning on making/offering. I don't know if I should spread the word or not to be honest. Since I'm not sure if it is suppose to be "secret" I'll choose to not say anything.

I will say that it didn't go as far as turbo kits just so you can get an idea.

As I understand it, the Muellerized '06 Ralliart Eclipse has awd.

Here's John, with his sweet cheeks (right side) to the camera. LMFAO
