There was tons of talk about pullies about half a year ago. Truth be told it's a not the most cost effective way to free up a little HP. They make custom kits, but would not make a Lancer model unless they had 30 preorders (I believe it was thirty, it may have been more). Needless to say this never happened.

I think it has less to do with the car and more to do with actual parts sales. People ask for parts and then like 10 people buy them. How many complaints did I read about brakes? When we get a BBU group buy at a very reasonable price, we STRUGGLE to get 4 signed up. They named their minimum sales and we couldn't get them. No money, no interest, no product. Simple business.

300 is absurd...ill give you that.

But as hobie mentioned.... it was hard just to get 10 people for the brake upgrade, and everyone was *****in about how there were no brake upgrades. 10 people didnt want to cough up the money, so we all lost out. It was before my time here, but i woulda been down for it.
