I knew it went something like that. I stand corrected. Joe didn't seek out RRM, they sought him out - didn't like the competetion I guess

And I would have to agree with you on RPW. They have been around much longer tuning the Lancer family. I only mentioned RRM was the leader in leading sales (not leading performance, etc). More people buy from RRM only because they are in the states, have more visibility and have the largest selection of Lancer parts (though not the largest performance selection).

Thank you to whoever posted up about the new pulley. We need more people advertising for smaller companies Has anyone one stepped up and purchased it yet?

What's going on is that discussion of one brand (A2) has led to discussion of the original crank pulley (Joe's) and the business practices a 3rd company (RRM) used to end Joe's part-making career.

Back on-topic, yay for A2! Get them made!

****Off Topic****
Did anyone else realize that Blacksheep is now a Super Mod?! Nice job moving up the totem pole
****End Off Topic****

A2 - are there any parts you are thinking about making or are already in the works? Perhaps a lightened flywheel? Cam gears?

Also, do your pulleys come with full installation instructions? I'm curious to see if you have the step that RRM forgot on their install guide.

Haha, yea get an impact wrench so you dont jump teeth on the timing belt. But seriously people a garage will only charge $30 or so to install one of these, its much better then going through the hassle. But yes I will be including directions. Also im trying to get one installed on a lancer and dynoed this week, along with the stage 2 kit.

Wow! How's that for a novel idea... a company that is willing to dyno their products! Thanks Phil.
