Hmmm, burbank...I think about an hour.
The strut bar was specially fabricated, it's a straight bar, not the Lancer bar. That's the first thing I said, I don't want to mess with my master cylinder. Did your strut bar make a noticeable difference or does it just look really cool? How much body flex can there be? I'm unsure on this one. Damn, Damn, Damn, you have AWD, so I can't blame a slower time on that.[&o]

It did seem to make a difference...I really don't think this truck was built for anything like that. On sharp turns it was nice.

hmmm, 8" ground clearance... nope, not designed for tight corners. Well, now I just have too many parts to buy and too little money. I think I felt better when I first joined the forum and din't think I had any options.

I think the Strut Bar is worth it....maybe you'll feel more of a difference than I did.

I'm residing in Africa with an 04 Outlander with that problem. My car's been in the "shop" for a month because they didn't have the manuals for the car. (They claim only 2 others in the country-Zimbabwe). After turning the key and shifting inot drive it just revs up. Sometimes it'll kick in sometimes it won't. I brought it in before I got stuck at a bad place at a bad time.........
After hooking up the vehicle toa computer they had codes but couldn't even decipher them ( PO 705 transmission control range; 28 (short circuit).
After calling back to the selling dealership, they told me that it was a possible short in the wire of the transmission range switch. That I needed part 8604A011 inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch....more to follow..................

I have AWD..will the Lancer Strut Bar really work? I had to mod the master cylinder...BOOO!
Cali is soon...I won't be with the Outlander when I visit in a week or so. How far are you from Burbank?
On my way back from Monterey I timed Burbank to my house and it was 30 mins with light traffic.

bedesman, I think hesitating on takeoff is a slight understatement...lol. Let us know what they come up with.

Lunch is on.
Um hmm, you're just afraid to give away the secrets. Nobody cares about the outside of the car, just the engine....lol just kidding man. I just looked up and noticed you've been here almost two years, join right after picking up the Outlander or did you have other Mitsu's too?
