hating on the AZ crowd again? i guess it's impossible for you say "nice job" & instead say "hey what helped me is an S-AFC with your similar mods". but no, u had to discount the man as u usually do...

Oh C'mon, not the "I had a lot of junk in the trunk" excuse again! How come every time someone runs pretty fast at the track they try to make you believe that they could've run faster if they had this or that...
Make sure you do the following steps to help improve your times and have the certainty that you and your car are giving a 110%:

1. Remove all the heavy junk from your trunk
2. Remove spare tire and tools (33 lbs.)...floor mats also.
3. Make sure you get to the track with just 2/3 gallons left in the tank
4. Fold your mirrors
5. Remove your front license plate including the kit that supports it
6. Drive it like you stole it

I followed those steps one-by-one and I was able to run 12.08 without pulling big dyno numbers, no excuses. I just wished I could've used some race gas and that my tires were the OEM Advans instead of the skinny snow tires I had on the car...but I don't use that as an excuse.



Good luck

I don't see any hating whatsoever, but you sure are quick to read into things that aren't there. This guy is being very cocky and unreasonable, so we gave him facts to help him come back to reality. He doesn't seem to care, though. Also, why would I say that an SAFC helped me do those times when he's already tuned? An SAFC does not compare to his type of tuning...

I didn't run my 12.000 and try to claim "light mods" while hiding my mods somewhere else that on one can find. I also didn't run a 12.4+ then say I was going to go hit an 11.9 next time with no changes.

HouseDJ, why are you getting so upset? Is this really keeping you up at night? It's starting to seem like it. You need to calm down, sweetie, before you blow a gasket.

I am going to do my own thing. I am done with EvolutionM. When I signed up for these forums I was looking for people who wanted to do the same thing as I. I just want to build my car and drive it. But in the few months I have been on here I have become disapointed with how things are handled. I was hoping I could find support from everyone and maybe help some people along the way. Insted this site has devided us all. Things have gotten ugly and until things can calm down I will not be posting any longer. Good luck to everyone with there cars and I hope for the best for all of you. This is Maxx signing out.

I was trying understand how in the world you were going to gain 4-5/10th and you came back with something a clown would say trying to be funny .
Good luck with your evo and your unrealistic expectations at the 1/4 .
