i guess its time for RRM mummies to hush! ive read enough of their cra*....so Ripp guys, heres the challenge for you all....give the RRM guys and the future Ripp guys what they want to know...lay out the numbers on this kit! Think that for as long as theres no solid numbers posted on this boards people are gonna doubt and bash ripp and the SDS kit and they wont shut up! Maybe some of you might not care what other people might say or think coz you have the kit and your loving it, but justify why you chose Ripp over RRM....especially now that RRM mummies are really curious...coz their either scared or curious to know that kits out there can outperform their shi*...think the more they bash the more youd have the curiousity, and motivation to have the kit dynoed? Shi* if it was me i'll fu*kin move my @ss and take my car to the dyno and post it here as soon as i get the dam* results, even if i worked a 16hr shift or have a basketball game...ill take the initiative to make an appointment and do it!!!!!. If only .L. got lucky and still have his car...me and him would have had the results by now....its just very unfortunate....and RRM mummies, as for u guys....when i get my kit you'll hear it from me how the kit is on the positive side and on the negative side....you'll hear it all....id even give y'all a phone number so you out-of-state guys can call me and ask personaly....sounds good RRM guys??? RIPP guys lets get movin!

sorry if i sound harsh but im just fraustrated, angry (coz .L. lost his car and therefore cant have it tested), and extremely curious.

 

thank you.

 

idk if this is tru but u don't seem to particpate in the forums as much, uve been a member for almost and a year and u come out with this bs saying that Ripp doesn't have pple asking questions.. do a search and u'll find out how many pple were interested in the kit and how many pple had questions concerning the kit before it came out. and check out the great tech responses from ripp. idk or seem to understand, pple jjust love talkin out of there ***, do a search y don't u before u make a comment that isn't completly true.. not to be an *** but i'm fustrated.. pple don't really understand what is really going on.

excuse me Punk8981, i would love to have my car dynod and tested, trust me but some things are important. yes the car is important but i have to make some money so i can keep the car correct? there for i must work 5 days a week, rserach what college i want to go to, play my sports and get my work done. its really frustrating, how i cant have my car tested, but its life i have to get some free time to do this ****.

what i also don't understand is y everyone is waiting for one person to do all the dirty work, i'm just saying. it aint easy with my tight schedule. and my car is auto right now so we wont see numbers like the 5spd of course. Yes i kno what happen to Manny, i met him and ive spke with him on da fone plenty of times. i feel horrible, i wish he was able to test his car.

edit, fkrzo ran a 15.4 or .6 according to his avatar, and hes boosting at 7lbs which is stage one, y hasn't anyone noticed or mentioned that.

 

Don't go by my 15.6, please. It was 95 degrees, I had ****ty tires, burned out the first 200' and only got 1 pass. The same day on the ride home I was side by side with my freinds Civic hatch with a GSR motor in it. He pulls mid 14's all the time, and if you know Hondas, you know there great on the highway. My wife just recently got a scanner/ copier for the computer, so in the spring I'll show you what stage 1 does with a dyno sheet (so you can see the curve) and some slips.

 

well folks, here r some info on a stage 1.

 

Well i dont do much posting, because 95% of the time i am not in the country and not able to drive my car, but that is going to change. I am going to go with the RIPP Stage 2 kit, (unless they want to make a stage 3) for my lancer. I have about 10-12.5 grand to play with on this and hope not to spend it all. I am still overseas in Bulgaria(been here 9 months) and am heading to Georgia next(not the state the country) I like the SDS kit and think it would be better than a turbo (THIS IS MY OPINION, if any of you jacka$$es want to go into a long article of why you think turbos are better, save it, it is MY OPINION. I dont want to hear it) I hate people that do that and there are a lot of them on this board, another reason i dont post that much. Anyway i am getting off track. I just finished putting the inside of my car together, amps, subs, componenets, tvs all the good stuff. waiting to get my sparco torinos. I am ordering a new body kit(because my accolade kit sucks and it wasnt the one i ordered) but that is neither here nor there. I figure that with a stage 2 sds kit, ported intake, bored throttle body, headers/downpipe, highflow cat and full cat back, i should be doing ok. then there is always new pistons, rods, compression head gasket and whatever else will make me go fast. Since i have most of this i just need the SDS kit. ZOO, i appreciate all the posting you do in regards to your sds kit, it helps out a lot. Maybe one day i will make it to NY and we can hook up. This is my 2 cents on the matter, and it is how i chose to go. I have pmd ripp about what i would like and hopefully i can get my car to them so they can do everything right.

 

Sounds like an excellent plan to me. Definitely keep us informed how it goes and what kind of power you get when you get 'er all put together.

 

nextgenerationx, im not pointing a finger at you....if you cant do it then dont, i was just telling you that if i have the kit i'll do what i can just to shut people up....hell id even invite people with other kits to race me....and you are not the only guy out there that have the SDS kit...i said it in general concerning all the Ripp guys who'v heard RRM mummies bashing the ripp kit....just thought id throw it out there since its really irritating....im sticking to what i said; lets get movin and lay out some numbers/slips you guys...prove to everyone that the kit is worth every penny spent. Somebody has to do it...but it aint gonna be the people who dont have the kit yet. Think of it this way...when you post up the numbers/slips, there will be more business for Ripp....So yeah we are waiting on somebody to do the dirty work (if thats how you call it).

 

i don't mind getting my car tested blah bla blah just gotta find room. trust me i kno what u all want, i want it too.

 

Then dont get pissy if people dont think your serious about the product you have. You dont seem to care what people think or you would find the room. I work six and a half days a week and i still find time to go to the track. And im just learning to properly leave the tree. Hell, i dont even want you do go to the track personally. I just want some outside info (independent dyno info) from Ripp. Id love to go to Ripp for a product because he is closer to me but i am still leary of Ripp's dedication to the Lancer. I dont want to show up there and start asking questions and be blown off because i drive a Lancer and not a V6. I dont mean so sound rude but no one here seem to understand that i dont have a problem with people that buy Ripp's products but with the info from the the company itself. I gave RRM hell when i couldnt understand the wiring diagram that came with my piggyback. Turned out i got the wrong one and i recived an apology and a new copy. I know im **** but this is how i think. I have bugged both RRM and Ripp about their products and have gotten numerous responses from RRM but none from Ripp. That is my biggest problem with them. So im sorry if i sound bitter.

 

you have to understand...my brother nextgenerationx....he is 17, he is in HS, he works 5 days a week, he is on varsity in his sports he does in school...and he is lookin and visiting colleges...he pretty much doesnt have time...

 

I just dont get it - why do all the SDS haters post in here, and not take their lazy butts to the RIPP site and ask RIPP directly? You gotta understand something - RIPP is a business. Like any other business, they need to maintain a cash flow. That means they may not have the time to goto every car site and post up about their products. However, I do see that they are VERY VERY responsive in the forums on their own site. Why aren't you guys going there to get direct answers? Here's the link on RIPP's site for Lancer SDS discussion:

Need that once more incase you missed it??

http://rippmods.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=5

I've been following this SDS thing since RIPP first prototyped it on a lancer. As I know it now .. the FIRST Lancer SDS system has run OVER 30,000 miles .. (stage 2), boosting at 11psi and has run into no issues. The only dyno ran so far (that i know of) is like 220whp and 190 torque .. thats pretty good, even if its not an independent dyno. Especially if you consider the price of the stage 2, which is at $3998.11. (I'm curious what the extra 11 cents gets me :P )

I hope to be able to see someone post up an independent dyno and a timeslip, but I understand schedules and whatnot. When/if somone can do it ... excellent and THANK YOU. With the weather back east and people's schedules, we probably won't see one until spring. Thats fine with me .. I'm in no hurry.

I'd assume that there aren't many on this board currently who has the $$ to drop on an SDS the very moment an independent dyno is posted. If your like me, you need to save up for something like this/ Its great to see dyno's and slips, but that shouldn't be the sole reason you buy this kit or any other kit out there. Get something which you are happy with, which you think will be reliable and will allow you to enjoy your car.

The main point here is that the RIPP SDS system is an alternative for those who want to improve performance of their cars. We gotta give props to RIPP for even taking the time and resources to invest in the design and fabrication of this kit for our lancers. You can't tell me that the Lancer market is huge .. RIPP deserves a good amount of respect for making this kit in the first place.

For those who say that RIPP needs to be more active on this site .. go check out RIPP's site and post on there. Here's that link again:

http://rippmods.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=5

And for anyone who's actually been on this board, reading and posting .. would know that RIPP has been on here .. and they've provided some GREAT information about the kit. They may not have time now .. but they DO respond on their own site. Here's that link, once more:

im out.

 

well i wish i could ***** this thread out with information, but unfortunately that whole incident happened with the 80 car pile up. punk8981 and I were planning on going to the track in the spring, and getting my car on the dyno.....but sh*t happens i guess. all i know is, it is a GREAT kit, and i loved the power. ahhh who knows.... maybe in the future. damn this sucks. i miss my car.

 

damn .L. i feel bad dude...well...i have a 2004 RIO red OZ rally in stick...if u want it i give it to u 1000 under invoice + all the other rebates involved...and if you still have ur registration i can give the loyalty rebate on top....let me know

Garrick

 

thanks bro. yeah actually i'm trying to find a used 02 lancer for a good price. YES THE KIT IS THAT GOOD PEOPLE . hopefully i can find something. i'd love to slap the kit back on.
