It is a rule.. I jumped the gun when someone mentioned Al going 9's.. I was just thinking he was the 1st to go 9's since we set up the bounty but forgot al's been going 9's long before i even owned an Evo.. LOL

Wow.

We rebuilt our drag car and re-tuned it fyi.

We are hitting up a test and tune either this Sunday or Wed to prepare the car. It is still up in the air for which event we will be attending.

Heck, how was I to know you "rebuilt" the Buschur Drag Car? What have you guys done to it ? Any threads with the details and pictures? It was a fairly amazing car when you bought it in the spring so I am very interested to see what you guys did to improve upon an already kick *** machine. Don't forget I watched that car from the day it was rolled in as a wrecked POS all through its build up by master buschur into the work or art it eventually became over several years of work.

Which ever event you choose to attend, I do hope you take the car to one of them and run it.

Its really a tough situation. if you try and stiffen the rear to prevent the transfer of weight it seems all you wind up doing is creating wheel hop and bouding in the back. When you allow the weight to transfer more freely then you unload the front and get some tire spin. At the end of the day front tire spin is not deadly to the car like rear wheel hop is.

The Evo really behaves a lot like a FWD car right off the line until the vicous diff gets pumped up and sends the TQ to the rear.

I am going to try and lower the tire pressue and also drop the nose down more to try and get more traction on the front.

Aren't you a buschur dealer? I wouldn't think it would be up in the air.

Well we broke our T-case and main diff in the Tranny on our first outing. Since then we re-built our tranny and put a quaife unit in our T-case. We also re-tuned the car.

We will not be attending the event in Jersey by any means. I screwed up with my wording since we are still finishing up some tuning work on Luke's newly added 80mm FP Red evo 9 as I speak at 1:40 in the morning.

The goal is to hit a test and tune up to dial the car in as well as we can, then pack up and head to Ohio. I am not making excuses, the work load here has increased considerably so it is still in the air by being able to make the Buschur Shootout and be prepared in time.

I have a feeling you aren't too fond of me? Is there any reasoning behind it?

I screwed up with my wording, still finishing up tuning work and getting tired. It's been one hell of a week.

We will not be attending the Jersey event by any means 110%.

Cool

It seems that you "repaired" a few minor items which broke on the car and did more tuning.

That is not a rebuild.

Hope to see you in Ohio.

Congrats on the 9's Al, you are consistent, 9's more years in a row than anyone else! haha

Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else this weekend.

DG, you really have to find the time to bring the car back to Ohio and run it this weekend. A lot of money has been posted and you don't want to miss the biggest Mitsu event in the world. Besides, I'd like to see the old car again and see how it runs.
