Update!We've shipped quite a few bars, but it's not the whole list of people who expressed interest, so get yourself a holiday gift and order up a bar or two!If you are ordering Mitsubishi OEM hardware with your bar (like the hardware to put a rear sway bar on a FWD car that didn't come with...
Update: Bars have shipped and are en route to Mach V headquarters. Our web site will be updated and product will be orderable as soon as they arrive.Dan

We'll message everyone on the interest list when product is orderable. Orders will be fulfilled in the order we receive them. As of right now we should have more than enough product to satisfy everyone on the interest list.Dan

When I have a better idea that they are inbound -- like, they are on a truck and headed to our shop -- I will open up ordering on the product pages linked in the first post. That will likely be a couple of months out.Once ordering is open, you can pay by PayPal, credit card, or a couple of...
Initital post updated. Manufacturing of both FWD and AWD bars has begun. Within a week or two I should have some kind of idea on a rough delivery date.Dan

Hi!I've just made a new RM Racing Interest Thread - 2021 Edition.I'll try to go through this thread and add people who have expressed interest (since we completed the last batch) to that new thread.Dan

So here we are in 2021 and there's STILL consistent interest in our RM Racing 2G DSM sway bars. You all can thank the gentle-but-relentless @Mello for nudging me to do this latest thread.For many years we produced and sold these sway bars under the RM Racing brand, and we finally decided to...
Hi all,Looks like there's still a need for decent 2G DSM AWD sway bars. We used to produce and sell these under the RM Racing brand, but our last batch took a long time to sell out, so we decided to discontinue them, but then the community came together and convinced me to product another...
Thanks to all who ordered. All existing orders have shipped except the ones that have just come in the last day or two. Note that as of right now I've run short of bushings. It will be 3-4 days before shipments resume. Thanks for your patience.--Dan

Yes. The FWD cars use the same front bar as the AWD cars. The rear bar is different. We've actually had the FWD rear bar in stock for a long time.--Dan

My personal philosophy is not to do pre-ordering if I don't have product on hand. Once the bars arrive, I'll update the web site and they will be orderable.--Dan

Okay, looks like we have enough interest. I've gone forward with manufacturing. The bad news is that in the intervening years, supply prices have gone up, so the retail on these is going to be $199 for a single bar, $339 for a set of both front and rear.To review, the FRONT bar is the SAME...
Hi all,I've been somewhat gently but persistently prodded by a few people on here that there's a need for decent 2G DSM AWD sway bars. We used to produce and sell these under the RM Racing brand, but our last batch took a long time to sell out, so we decided not to make them again.Here's...
Zilo, great job. I would definitely stress jack stand safety, as mentioned previously. It only takes a moment to relocate the jack stand somewhere safe; never rely on only the jack for support.--Dan

DGajre777, ECU+ DOES allow you to alter ignition timing. It has a full timing control map in addition to fuel control. Yes, it's offset (as opposed to absolute), but you can arrive at the same results as with any other system.We have many customers running 750cc injectors without...
RMDSM doesn't really exist any more. We did buy their product line. The RM Racing DSM products (includings sway bars and the chin spoilers) are now owned and manufactured by Mach V Motorsports.RER Networking used to resell the RM Racing parts; it looks like they're no longer doing that...

You're saying he lacks upper body strength? ;)You can use anything for a shim. Usually a washer of the right thickness will do nicely. All you need is for the threads to end up tight at a different position.The knob is not defective; it's just the nature of a thread-on knob that's...
Rev-matching while braking is where the term "heel and toe" braking came from. It's because to match revs you need to be pressing two pedals (the clutch and the gas), but doing that while braking is tricky. Heel-and-toe means you mash the brake pedal with your right foot, but while you're on...
I agree, go with a wet system. Dry systems are too scary.I think your 255 pump is probably adequate for the 100 shot. The motor can probably take it, too. A 75 shot is definitely fine.You might want to up the fuel a bit (that is, dial your S-AFC richer) and/or dump in some octane...
The sodium-filled Evo exhaust valves are indeed a direct replacement for standard DSM exhaust valves. We now stock 'em! The best part is they're around the same price as a normal Mitsu valve. What's not to like?Evo exhaust valves - click me!--Dan

I've got some runs where I used the ECU+ on our Dynojet. I'll do some analysis to try to see how the Dynojet and the ECU+ reports compare...stay tuned.--Dan

That worked great for me. I didn't really believe it when I heard of doing this, but my i/c pipe blew off twice at the road race course, then I used the ol' can of hair spray and it hasn't come loose since.--Dan

The graphs are made using speed, weight, and time information. If you know the weight of the car, then the change in speed over time will give you an accurate indication of the power the car is making. In order for your back-to-back runs to be accurate, make sure you do repeat the experiment...
Hey, Dan from Mach V Motorsports here. We're the exclusive retail source for the ECU+, and as Tom mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread, we've worked with him on the development of the product.After much nagging, er, suggesting, from Chris here at DSMTuners, I finally signed on as a...
