which electric cutout did you go with?

 

I got the jegs 3" electric cutout http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30832...ductId=1231909 $149.99 without shipping and i ordered the jegs 3 cutout http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/30752...oductId=751312$32.99 i then welded 2 bolt flanges so it would bolt straight to my megan 3'' downpipe and megan 3" cat. IS anyone going to be at Import Face Off in GA the 21?

 

I would if I knew sooner

 

well i kinda changed my plans, i was thinkin about going to work on the lancer tomorrow instead of going. i was going to be there.. i needa call a few of my friends that are going.. see if i can ride with one of them instead of driving myself.

 

Im down here in a hotel right now I was suppose to be driving the lancer but last night i blew the trans at the track. I was and am very upset. So i guess my swap is going to be going in sooner then i thought. Any info on people destroying there transmission.

 

GA is to far from TX, plus I dont want to drive in a hurricane

its to late for me maybe in 8 months if something comes up

 

hey about your tranny, how much hp were you running till it just gave out on you? I called robert from RRM and he said the evos were having trouble keeping thier trannies together.

 

ya at what hp? i personally dont trust rrm any more since they kinda screwed me on my mani. any reputable company would have done something and not say just sorry.

and what all did you blow out of the trans?

im sure he ripped a gear out.. but anyways..

ya is raining today.. i woke up at 7 (went to bed at 5) with intensions to going to IFO today.. but it was raining very hard at my place and weather didnt look promising at all for atlanta..

anyways.. updats on the trans as u go man, sorry to hear that it broke.. what kinda times it do before it broke?

 

I only got 1 run in before it broke and I had just rolled in off the highway after a 2.5 hour drive and completely forgot to change my tire pressure it was 50psi :'( time was 15.6 I think @95mph 2.6 60'. The second run lowered pressure to 25 and I didn’t even get off the line. But I guess that meant I got traction lol. It really sucked what was worse was the track official looked at me and laughed and said "yep these things are built for this" And the other pulled a video camera out and said laughing" I got to get a video of this" And they said I blew an axle..... I don’t think they know the first thing about a car but anyway. I was running the same set up that I was before so right at 200 whp. And I didn’t dump the clutch on either run. Just a normal take off since spun so hard the first time. Also GA was fun I guess even though it got cancelled. And it was just sprinkling where we were there waiting.

 

So when I was removing all the parts to pull the Trans I noticed my left wheel bearing had a bad spot in it. And also that my lower ball joint's were both leaking. So I figured it’s time to put the Evo front LCA's and Bilstein struts in. I can’t us Evo hubs or knuckles since I’m still using the lancer axles. The stock evo LCA's big round end is taller than my stock lancer so I’m putting in the evo K member also, The stock lancer knuckle seems to fit the Bilstein and Evo LCA but will post pictures once its together and on the ground.

Random picture of the lancer in the garage for the first time.

 

Just a heads up, if you install Evo front lower control arms on a Lancer the spindle gets relocated about an inch toward the front of the vehicle. The Evo has a longer wheelbase than the Lancer. Check out posts 33 & 34 here:
