2 days left and counting......

Well, it's less than 72 hours before RRM takes my stock 02 OZ rally off my hands and they work their magic. Somehow I keep adding stuff...but here's the list of goodies they'll be installing.

-Stage 1 Clutch
-Cluthcline
-Flywheel
-B&M Short Shifter
-Pulley
-Magnaflow High Cat
-RRM Axle Back Exhaust
-Carbon Fiber Tail Lights

Pretty sure I'll feel a difference, I'll keep everyone up to date on how the car reacts

list looks good, but most of that stuff you can install yourself...with exception of the clutch and flywheel

all sounds good. you'll probably notice the biggest difference from the pulley, flywheel, and clutch.

nice mods. you'll probally only feel a difference with the hi flow cat and exhaust. you should add a cold air intake to finish off the breathing mod then you'll feel a lil somin. dont mean to be a downer or anything. i just installed the pulley recently myself. it just increased throttle response. didnt make the car pull any harder. but i am interested if that light weight flywheel makes a difference.

yeah, I was thinking if I should go with the CAI vs the short RAM that I have now. I was also thinking about getting the throttle body, but I am not sure if that will do much for me

The CAI won't make much of a difference and if you keep the SRI you'll be able to drive hard in the rain.

Update.....

UPDATE....My bad guys, still trying to get a feel for my clutch, and having some fun.
OK, so I picked up my car on Saturday, and unfortunatley they weren't able to install the exhaust, because it wasn't in stock, but I will return on Friday for that mod. Stay tuned......
Anyways, as I started the lancer up, I noticed that difference when I pressed my foot against the clutch.....stiff. I actually stalled twice till I got a feel for it.
I noticed that my rpm's are more responsive with the flywheel.
I can't say that I felt any gains. I'll have to wait till I get the exhaust.
But the car is more responsive, I love the short shifter, making all the shifts crisper.
I did notice that it was alot quicker on the freeway....at 60mph, 4th gear, then down shifting to 3rd. I was amazed at how quick it jumped to 80 and kept climbing.
But the CAI, is defnitley on my mind now.
Let me know if you guys need a little more detail or description

OK....so I got everything installed 2 weeks ago but the exhaust.
I got the magnaflow axleback exhaust, and I must say that I have a mixed reaction about it. I did notice that it opened up the flow quite nicely, and I could feel a modest gain in power. The smooth deep tone is there, but call me whatever you want, I was expecting it to be a little bit louder like other magnaflow exhausts.
With that said, how can I get it a wee bit louder? should i with a 2.5 as oppose to the 2.25?
Suggestions?
Oh yeah, that header and CAI is soon to follow

stay with the 2.25 piping the CAI will also make it a little louder. i am running a custom cat back magnaflow exhaust with an injen CAI and i must say it can get really loud. fortuantly havent pulled over for it but wait till you get a CAI to see if you like the loudness.
