I test drove a 2009 Ralliart, and to be honest i really wasn't impressed... Granted i only took it for a 10 minute spin, but i was happier with my '05 RA as far as handling and acceleration were concerned. The '09 just felt really heavy. Im sure with the right mods they would be alot more fun though. But one trip around the town with the VIII and it was a whole different world, lol

 

My stock 9 CBV holds 25psi perfectly w/o being crushed.
Personally, I wouldn't crush it. A crushed one caused a weird slight hiccup during slight to rolling off throttle transition. Just enough to take pleasure out of driving it.

 

Well i rode in my friends car. His is an 09 ra, 3 inch turbo back, ams upic and licp, evo x intercooler, tuned by ams on 29psi I think. it shifts so much faster than I can with a manual its quite fun.
I have a 9 as well and its on 22psi and its fine. When I get the fp red/buschur icp on im going with the tial 50mm.

 

Well... after doing some much needed maintenance work on the Evo (Timing belt, BS belt, serpentine belt, plugs, and air filter), I have finally started on the blue light installation. Got my power wire ran for the switch panel and finished up wiring on the front lightbar. Here's a quick preview video:

Up next is finding a good way to mount the rear bar, the suction cups suck. Then on to the strobes and siren...
