i met a guy who had the rip kit on his eclipse. got to talk to him for a while and he gave me the truth about the quality of the kit. he said the tuning sucks ballls, and since its their black box, there is nothing you can do to fix it. in his opinion, they should just add an emanage into the kit. he also said that their "ripp BOV" looks like something a 10yr old kid made at his first day in a machine shop.

before i swaped, i seriously considered the ripp kit... here is the conclustion i came to....
3400 is about what i ended up spending spent on my swap. now you could say that going with a charger would be better or worse, but i think what people forget is that, a swap will do 200+hp at the wheels BONE STOCK, with plenty more room for upgrades. while a charger, might give you similar results, but youll be doing all you an with no room to grow.

Art, I thought you had 5-6 gs total in your car from the swap? How much you got into your motor? i seriously was going to do the swap. I wanted to buy the gt4 rascara was selling. The smog problem is stopping me. The state does the smog out here. I can't bribe an independent garage like when I lived in California. They put you into a little glass room, hook up something to your obd/obd2 and run your car on the rollers and have some sniffer on the exhaust. Then they move it,
to another spot, check for erg and test your gas cap. If I swap, it means different obd. Thats where Im screwed. Then I was going to turbo the 5sfe, been buying parts, but decided on the Ripps assuming I can
get one for under 3500. I refuse to pay 5 gs for one. I beleive playr said the difference between the different stages are different sizes of pulleys for more horsepower.

I'm a drummer myself, and instead of a swap I soaked a little over 4 grand into an orange sparkle Drum Workshop Collectors Series kit. It was a great buy....but everyday I look at it and think to myself that I could have had a swap for that money ....haha.

That was about a year ago....now its time for swap for me.

What do you call a guy who hangs around with musicians? A drum player... LOL =P

Haha, haven't heard that before....

Theres actually much more to being a good drummer than most people think. Lately i've spent 2-3 hours a day practicing because i'm studying professionally with a jazz/latin instructor. I'm a little broke because of it....but I do have gear that I'm selling to help fund a swap and other car goodies.

Anyway, back on topic. Madmods, the RIPP kit gonna happen??

I'm waiting for them to get back to me. From what I understand at the moment, there are the custom fab pieces for the camry laying around their shop. The camry kit sold for 3400. It was discontuined. I have 3 gs saved now. Other people got quoted 5 something for them to make the 5sfe kit. Im not going to pay that. I'll turbo the 5 first before handing out that kind of money.
