aww c'mon green.. u know better that that... ::::level 10::: ahemm ahemmm. i have high hopes that level ten will make my auto experience worth while!.. i'll be visiting them soon greenpsycho i'll let u know how it goes!

 

yeah, well, thats what i thought too until i talked to someone whose dealt with level 10 before.

i actually inquireda about their pricing, its like 500 for the TC upgrade, 700 for the valve body upgrade, plus labor at your local transmission shop to take it off and put it back on

now, i was told it just isn't worth it in the ends, its like 2grand, and the differences aren't that great when you actually ride around in one. he told me just to go with the torque converter and call it a day. now this comes from a guy who really knows his stuff, runs a performance shop, but more importantly has ridden in levelten vehicles before, which i have not

 

yeah im gonna get the Torque converter and a sport tronic system. fortunately for me i can have them install it. and damm lately i've been thinking about ditching the turbo idea and jumping on the sds bandwagon we'll see in a few

 

well, where i'm at right now i'm 2 hours away from levelten, so i could have them install it too, in fact that was my original idea, but this sds thing came up first

 

be careful with level 10, awhile back they had some problems, and some tuner shops around here don't trust them. i'm just warning you.

 

damm it sucks to hear this lol... hopefully the torque converter and the sport tronic is harmless. Kar33m has a sport troninc from them.. but he hasnt replyed to my Pm yet

 

no doubt dude, you'll be the first to know



kid, keep me updated on the levelten developements, ie if you hear back from kreme, if you head down there or get something.

 

U cant swap the BOV...the one that comes with da RIPP kit is custom built for the SDS system...in the past, RIPP tested BOV's and it didnt work right so the custom built thier own

 

dude, i was suprised at the install too. nextgen and i took probably 4-5 hours and got it 80% taken apart, and we both SUCK. so installing it won't take much longer

and yes, you are right, install it cake, half of it is just installing the intake piping, if you've done a sri install, your good to go

just bolt on the brackets for the drive shaft to sit on, hook up pullies and belts, wire things up (black box, pump, etc) and your good to go


edit: oh yeah, ripps bypass valve still sounds pretty sweet. maybe not as good as the type s, but still distinguishable and cool

 

This is awesome! I can't wait to read results. One question Greeno...What will you do differently from Zooracerlancer to ensure that your tranny wont give out?

 

i won't try to shift my auto like its a manual LOL

thats what zoo did to his lancer and that killed his tranny i believe before he even got his ripp kit. it wasn't that the sds killed his tranny, his tranny was shot before hand because of the way he drove it

all you really need is a tranny cooler to keep the temps down, and your good to go

car gets dropped off this friday, look for a thread the same day

i need to start making a list of what lancers are in the area that i need to show the kit to after its down (kid lancer in jersey, hobie in jersey, melaz in fairfield...who else?)

 

add me to the list as well...i rode in the car before but i want to see how much better it is with a solid tranny

 

I've seen his kit, but if you're in the area... I'll look at it again.

 

pssh, you haven't seen it on MY car

we're talking a good 50whp more just because of my coolness factor

 

hey greeeeeeeeeeeen, guess what i just bought.,.......tee hee. starts with an I and rhymes with INTAKE MANIFOLD. so wel will be pretty much toe to toe.
