Al,


I saw the video on your camcorder/camera.. it was funny as hell man. I also saw the tire spinning marks on the road very funny as well.

How can you have a Evo and not noticed the car is a FWD. I would go back to the dealer and demand a fat refund back

This is my second tuner car, and first AWD (supposed 2 b) tuner car. Not only is the drive train not linked but untill IA performance and AL hooked me up, i was only runnin like 12-13 lbs. As per Al I was only running off whatever the actuator was set at .8-- kpa..... So it wasnt nearly enuff to get loose. I just knew it handled a lot better than my tiburon (previous car) !!! Seemed like AWD to me, along with the stoppin power increase w/ tha brembos.. SOLD But once i was done with the tune ..now spikin 20lbs and a new redline +exhaust, i break the front wheels loose thru 4th and hop like a rabbit...its more than obvious now even if i hadnt looked under the car.........

You may want to keep it FWD when you find out how boring it is in AWD mode !

hope you got good news from your base lawyer

the lawyer said the same thing that Ray suggested. Take it to and have them verify the prob and whatever else. Total up everything plus labor and have Stadium Auto fund the fix lol

Do u think, lowering springs, motor mounts, and a torque dampener will get rid off the hop. U kno first hand how bad i spin

U cant be serious about leaving it fwd... can AWD make that much of a negative diff.as far as acceleration !!!?? I dont plan on trackin the car or even going autoX untill i save for a twin disc setup. so untill then its just 40 rolls on the freeway ............btw smashed an old 95vett today!! LOL i kno there slow but it was so loud (5.7L) in all i was expecting more

still broken

i wish i had a 37r lol
the lawyer that i got wanted a rediculous amount of cash upfront inorder for him to take the case. Even tho he was so sure that it was a case id win!! Just for the lawyer fees id could buy a carbon shaft and fix it myself so **** that.

So if anyone has a stock shaft i'll give ya $200 shipped to 88310 ( all i need is the rear leg of the 3 pieces the connects to the rear diff) thanx
-bravo
