well people used to pay $400 for the old RRM piggyback that (before you could tune it) I thought was a huge rip off seeing as how it barely pulled any harder and I was still getting owned by all sorts of stock little cars. Theres all kinds of stuff people pay a lot for that dont do much but add to your mod list.

 

i don't doubt this kit helps, im sure it makes a big difference, esspecially with reliability and with a turbo. I just think $250 is asking a lot, esspecially when compared to what other cars would pay.

we should see about getting a group buy on this, get the price knocked down a bit

 

sounds good, let us know when one is set up.

 

I'd like to try it but I'll wait till I get the turbo kit. I believe someone posted a site that explained the installation of the this kit, saying you dont have to remove the tranny. Now if this is the case, it shouldnt be harder than installing a turbo kit. I'm sure we will get more info on this kit and installation from A2.

 

i think you'd have to tear down the tranny for this, if i remember correctly. it'll come with all sorts of springs and bearings. some springs go in a certain way, etc etc. definitely made a difference in my friend's auto GSX. pulled to redline and shifted a lot faster by comparison to stock. can't remember what he paid though. the torque converter is now his bottleneck.

the tcugo replaces the tranny controller. that's different.

 

i will pass

 

there are instructions what i posted earlier

 

oh, i see. you don't particularly have to drop the whole tranny. you unbolt the fluid pan and take out the valve body. easy, but probably just time consuming and tedious.

 

Here's a site showing what's done

has pics and all

 

^^^now will it actually be as clean as the pics in that install. I would think it to be much more messy and greasy. a lift would be nice too.

 

^^yeh thats the link i ment to post.

oops.

 

when you drain the oil, it shouldnt be too greasy. Wear gloves

 

We don't care because you don't buy anything.

As they said, who cares if it's cheaper on a Civic? It's the only one available for a Lancer, so they kind of get to set the market. If you want it, buy it. If you don't, don't.

 

so was $250 what someone was told, or maybe the average? or is that a for sure price?

 

+1^
where did you get the price from. i asked philip a while back and he never got back to me on it, i just asumed he hadnt figured out a price yet


yeh i know i don't buy anything. rediculous amount of bills keep coming up out of no-where, plus im still saving me money for an engagement ring. next summer im hoping to have my big spending spree. save up for a while, get my tax money, and i will be good to go
