thanks mitsu03... don't discredit RIPP due to one member who doesn't understand what you want. Eventually you will either get what you want or find another alternative. Just be patient and things will happen. You may have to wait for your speed but all that means is you'll save up more money so you can buy more speed later.

Good luck on you search bud.

 

Also mitsu03 be aware that vendors are now posting crank hp numbers not wheel hp numbers. While some do have wheel hp info others don't. Which makes you wonder how they get their numbers since they didn't do an actual engine dyno?? Hmmm... be careful and look out for customers showing independant results. They will appear and you will feel confident in your decision's that way.

Again... good luck and god bless.

 

hey how about call Ripp mods for some reasearch there mitsu...
they can tell u evertyhign, if u don't like what you hear or there service just don't go thru them. boe u get my message about my dyno? look at my last post maybe we can clear things up.

 

i'm sorry nextgen... i did mean that in an insulting way as you were not getting the piont. I stated it time and time again and it doesn't matter if the people with the kit are not on here. The fact is that even those who do have the kit haven't dropped any dyno's or track slips yet.

As far as taking off work i did mine on a Saturday and my sponsor paid for it plus a few bucks for my gas. I put about 5k in my car before the first dyno(basic non-ic'd RRM kit, headers, etc.) and my sponsor had no issues paying 100 bucks for my dyno which i posted. I also posted my track slips. Then i dyno'd agian intercooled which he paid for... then stage 2 which he paid for and every track event i went to my sponsor paid for. All in all my sponsor paid for 5dyno's(500 bucks) and 7 track visits(140 bucks as they are 20 bucks each at qualcomm/cal speedway). He was happy to do it.

Maybe i'm a little more involved in the lancer than most and maybe i've ventured further than most ever will but when i started the lancer was nothing and only one real company was producing a lot for it. That company is very big now as they support/sponsor many things in an effort to promote better business. Seems RIPP won't pay you to do an independant dyno or maybe you just don't have the time or care to. Whichever it is those things are needed for RIPP to go further. I hope you see that now and know that i'm only trying to help bring that problem to light.

In the end you take things how you take them... i'm sorry about the writing slower comment, i get frustrated repeating myself. In the end though... lack of independant dyno's and track slips are killing RIPP's following. Also the steps they took when things were at their most heated were wrong. They basically just dropped the lancer guys and went to the tibby guys... what's up with that. They are hardly ever on here anymore. This gets seen and that hurts them big time.

Good luck with your conversion... your car should be much faster as a 5 speed. Wish you the best...

who cares about hp and tq numbers, its track numbers that really count. thats what i want to see.

 

RIPP formed there own forum when they were trying to get their own kits out to the Lancer members where they regularly check up on question and what not. They provided this as an easier way to get in touch with them. Not only that but the Turbo vs Super arguments should have driven them off this site.

Everytime they came on promoting their product certain people posted alot of negative stuff about it. Yes but YOU were one of those people BOE.

I wonder what happened to Fkrzo. He also has a kit and did post on here. I believe he said he ran a 15.4 or so but did not post a dyno number or time slip. I am sure someone can look up his thread.

After it is all said and done I am suprised that people are saying it's a shame they (RIPP)are not around more. This board has never received any new company well. Even when independent dynos on products are produced people like to try to twist the numbers when they are too good.

Before I go on any further I will leave it at this.
I just can't believe how easy it is to manipulate the truth.

WADAD

 

its true, everyone is so rrm biased, so when a company who wants to participate in fabricating parts for our car, there bashed right away not giving a chance for the company and the people who have the products . I actually talked to Ross today through email and will be talkin to him personally through the phone tommorow. He said he would love to work with the lancer, and that he loves the car, how its a fun lil machin to whip around. he said alot of pple wouldn't give Ripp a chance because of rrm lovers. i can understand y people love rrm where they came so far to fabricate parts for the US lancer. so Boe i will have my car dynoed, yes independent dyno for the auto Ripp sds kit. so everyone can see. but the car will have to be tuned and everything because Ripp didn't see it for while and they would like to look at it first. so to you all, Ripp is not running away to go to the tibby's, Ross was actually happy that i emailed him today. he said it him self that lets do this soon. Ripp is all go for lancers, just lack of supporters. Boe i apologize for overreacting, but the frustration was just built up from previous threads where we had differences. so Boe lets set aside our differences and have a haha ight

so basically where i'm getting at is that i will have my car dynoed with the auto and after i get my 5spd conversion. and Ripp is not running away, just lack of supporters and people who had bash on them just slowed them down. Many who have been asking me about the Ripp product should all call Ripp for further details, see what the company is all about. The service is great, hope you all who are lookin into the SDS kit a good luck.

 

First off....u can get things a lot cheaper than RRM...do a search over the net...so all the peeps who are BIG with RRM...you can save a lot of money if u shop

Second....MY brother NEXTGERATION....this kid is only 17 years old...and his knowledge is very overwhelming...if you read any of his post and look at his knowledge u can almost tell he has been on the forums for years...he know what he is doing..and even though he is a young kid...most people will think that ohh he is jus BS'ing....the true fact is what ever this kid is say he is doing he is doing!!!!...and if you dont think its gonna happen...i be happly to take u to my home...and show u what he has turned my 2 car garage into a mini shop which he practically lives in...

I said it before i'll say it again...YOU STILL A ***EN IDIOT!!!!

 

i support the RIPP's kit...i wont even consider any other kits out there....so lets get some numbers in!!!

 

I support RIPP as a company and their parts are great; I hope soon they make something for N/A guys too.

 

I talked to Ripp today, he really wants to work with the lancer crew if the people are up for it. How can people say that Ripp is running away? U guys think Ripp will spend 18k to creat a setup for the lancer and just abandoned it? of course not. You think he does this all for a profit? No he doesn't, he sells plenty of kits to the tibby's and mitsu 6cyls. They did it for the people who wanted the kits. If you look at all the posts by the Ripptechs, every thread with filled questions have been aknowledge with great answers that most would not expect.
To lure Ripp back to us we have to show them that we want to support there products. Ripp wants to work with the lancer, if they didn't want to they wouldn't spend the money for testing and fabricating this setup that cost them well over 15k. Help me and Ripp by showing us some support. The kit is very reliable.. many people don't know but there are a few kits in the north east who are not part of evom.net, 1 running the kit for over 35k miles now with no problem.. kits are running real strong since the begining, no failures. these kits are running strong, Ripp still working on some great tunes for the car, which they just came out recently. I have been boosting for somet ime now and i never never had to bring my car back to Ripp expet for the new tune, nothing has gone wrong. Alot of info out there has mislead pple due to falsehood. when questions asked how reliable the kits are, llot of rrm biased repetavily asked what if you run out of methonal blah blah blah and etc. Those questions are tideous, what if you overboost with a turbo? blah blah blah and whatnot.. You don't have to worry about and blowing up due to the black box system. if you want to know more about that please contact Ripp... they'll be glad to here from anyone, Ross was happy he herd from me. well i thought i just get that out that Ripp wants to work with the lancer and we have to show Ripp that.

 

i support nobody, but would buy some lightened pulleys from them if they made them.

 

can i have my car back...i miss driving that ****

 

no get ur own its mine

 

Just my little 2 psi... nothing to do with RIPP or RRM.

I joined this board a couple years ago, hoping to help fellow Mitsu owners and learn from experienced Mitsu owners since the 4G93 and the 4G94 share so many qualities. For one, the mere fact that our cars are so freaking slow stock, was one reason for unity.

However, when I suggested alternate things to try to our cars to make some power, i would always be flamed or sent hate PMs or what have you from RRM-lovers. Now dont get me wrong, I have nothing, no beef, no hatred, no problems with RRM, but whenever I tried to open other people's eyes to other possibilities (like an Eclipse 60 mm TB instead of a more expensive option, custom turbo kits instead of expensive incomplete "kits") I was always met with the typical, "you dont know what you are talking about, RRM says to do this" attitude. Again, I reiterate, I have no beef with RRM but maybe it is time we open our eyes to alternate means of making power.

That is why I honestly understand how RIPP would move on fro mthe Lancer (and by default form the Mirage) because it is met with such opposition and I cant honestly blame them for moving on to other platforms. I would honestly like a SCed Mirage as a daily driver and keep this one as a track beast, but unless our attitudes become more embracing towards other companies and other ways of making power, our options will always be eternally limited.
