I would like to see a 2,1/4" downpipe. My header, cat, and exhaust are all 2,1/4"

 

Whats the latest news on the engine damper??

 

bump???

 

Yes i is very interested.

 

Also looking for an update on the engine damper

 

yeah what happened with the damper?

 

In all honesty, I think stiff motor mounts work much better than an engine damper. Think about it... motor mounts are spot center with the engine and stop movement in almost all directions. A dampener grabs the engine by it's outer extremety and allows the other side to just hang loose. Does that make sense?

EDIT: I actually looked into it and found that the Evo's high quality (Ingalls brand) engine torque damper is $165 whereas RRM's urethane filled motor mounts are $150.

 

Thanks for the info, but we're not debating here whether or not we should use/have an engine damper. We already want one - we just want to know the status of the part.

However, if you'd like, you can always start a thread on the pros/cons of stiffer engine mounts vs. an engine damper. That could make for an interesting debate.

 

its a lot easier to put on an engine damper than to fill the rear mount. i have done the front which wasn't hard, and im putting an NSC damper on also instead of filling the rear mount. it should work just as well.

 

evo 8/9 body kit replicas for the 02-03 oz lancer.

 

I'd like to see some rear disc drakes, and I'd like to see them done and not cost over $550 or so.

 

We don't need rear brakes. They don't work right when used on a car designed for rear drums. They would lock up if you jammed on the brakes. engine damper is a good start.

 

Ok, I just got done reading ALL 15 PAGES of this thing and I'm suprised noone has mentioned it- how about a steering wheel hub that is actually made for the Lancer? I want a nice steering wheel, but have no way of mounting it!!

So far, only this "Splash" hub from more-japan.com seems to fit, according to the threads I've read. But it is for an Evo and all threads on this forum say ours is a little different from the Evo. So I'm guessing it probably won't work...

So how 'bout it? a metal bracket for the steering wheel shouldn't be too hard, I hope

 

Ours is not different from the evo, hence why we can use their steering wheel. I have no idea what threads you're looking at but they're wrong.

 

Well, from the threads I read and those I've talked with, its different. If you buy an Evo Hub adaptor it won't fit.

If I'm wrong on this, please enlighten me, someone. I have a MOMO steering wheel ready to go, but waiting on a hub adaptor.

If it in fact does NOT fit, then maybe this guy can do it for us.
