Talking Finally!

My test pipe arrived today, picked up my RRM SRI yesterday, Boe was nice enough to pick it up for me on Sat. when he was up there. to Boe! I've had my axle back for about a month now, but was waiting for other stuff before putting it on. Soooooooo, if weather is ok this weekend, I'll be putting it all on this Sat. I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself! I'll have to be sure to bring a six pack of with me too!

Wait 'till you hear your car with that intake. It sounds like we actually have some ***** under that hood.

How is the AEM intake I know there a bit pricy but is it worth it if you were going to end up throwing a Turbo on it?
I just wanted to ask.
Thanks,

No turbo, too pricey for me right now. I'm thinking in a year I might buy another Lancer and build the **** out of it!

Aaaahh! Despite the crappy weather (rain) went over to my dad's house, parked the car in the garage and went to town. Put all my stuff on and I like it. Had no problems at all with loosening the bolts for the cat, spent most of the day doing the intake though. Ran some 3" ducting from the front air dam (underneath the headlight) to the filter. Replaced the OEM intake elbow with a 3" to 3" 90 degree elbow I bought at Home Depot. I'll post some pic's tomorrow. All said and done, I noticed a little bit of h/p gain and a nicer/smoother acceleration. Next will be wheels, strut bar, sway bar, lowered 1" and spoiler.

and you will be the proud owner of a rrm rear sway bar mid week !! i wish i couldve kept it but like i said, ordering 5 japanese ken style kits kinda absorbs your funds. i used the money you sent me to pay for this vendor status. thats more important to me right now.

Good for you, I've been thinking of starting my own buisness too.
I'd like to run a performance shop mainly being a dealer. But that's just an idea for now.

Im thinking about getting a test pipe. Im getting an RRM intercooled turbo kit, cf evo VII spoiler and a strut bar. Im trying to save up a bit more $ for the SRI but i dont know what do you think about the SRI?

First off, don't waist your money on an intercooled turbo, you won't be running high enough boost to make use of an intercooler. Talk to "Boeturbolancer" about this, he's making a CAI for the non-intercooled turbo for RRM, they'll probably be selling them soon. I definitely recommend the test pipe.
