^ lol that was a bit tight

anyways ill try and get a vid up,
was trying to listen out last night on my way home for mivec, but was really hard, coz it was wet and raining and really fun yet scary at the same time, im wondering if i should switch back to stock wheels for winter?
but yeah i couldnt really notice a large difference in sound, but i do love the pull/jerk from first gear to second

btw, what does our car run in the quarter mile/400meters stock? auto or manual

Same here - I hear mine pick up, but doesn't lift like the vtec, I hear the engine change, nothing too major, slight pickup, then I hear the pickup at 4500rpmish!

nos goes nice with the ra, the install isn't hard at all but I have done a few before the ra.I have no whp #s, I have taken S2000s, RSXs,and 350z to name a few ...but I'm wanting to go turbo and convert the nos into an intercooler sprayer.Thats why I have no ecu upgrade.

mivec good

Yeah my INJEN CAI whistles nicely at 3500 to 4000 RPM. I did notice one thing tho watch ur gas mileage take a nose dive if u take an out of state trip with ur RPM above 3500 Guzzle Guzzle. O well still frickn sweet . O and one more thing New GTS o8 lancer is DOHC wounder where the mivec kicks in on the RPM range and how sweet it is with 2 cams HEHE

RAs have much more advanced Mivec than Evos. Evo Mivec of course you can't hear, its just a rotation of the intake cam gear.

it does me for a 2-3 good passes then needs to be heated up , i painted my bottles black so i can just fill them up and leave them out side in the back yard to absorb the heat, guess I'm a cheap @SS...The type s was what i was talkin about.
