just fyi switched back to 75w90 and pretty much instantly got back to normal mpg by a significant margin (~2-3mpg)

 

Im going to the March 5th track meet at Thunderhill, is that the one your going to or are you going to the one at Infineon?

 

Yep I'll be in the Silver IX both march 5/6th

great news, got a hold of Jon just now and I'm very happy to hear that he is going to get me taken care of on time for my track weekend!

Thanks Jon

 

Cool, glad to see other evos will be out there.

 

I have a 2000 6.5 RS (50k miles) with the stock RS diff, and I'm would like to know when they should be rebuilt/reserviced and if adding preload to an RS diff is better for track car? Looking at a parts break it seem to have 10 plates, would that be correct and is adding more beneficial? Also has anyone used this MAXGRIP kit from or heard of Weir Performance?

I use Amsoil SVG 75w90 currently and have japanese coilovers with 12k F and 9K R springrates and stock sway bars. Sorry for all the questions but I have minimal track experience(1 trackday) and I'm just starting to build it as a track car and any info on were to start with my overall handling setup would be great.

 

They'll be more then just us...I know quite a few evo's that are heading out.

what group will you be in?

 

Solo.

 

i'd go with a cusco.. i mean i'm sure they could do something here in the states with the rs diff but pricewise it'll prob be cheaper when you think about the shipping and all.. the cusco is a better diff too

 

thanks for the help, this was alot of alot of good information!

 

this diff is cutting it close now :-o

 

Forecast shows its high chance of rain. You might not need so much oversteer.

 

i just bought the TRE rear with 12 plate upgrade and the HD side cover. i do not turn the wheel like most of you guys do. i am a straight line 1320 type person. the car is street driven mostly but hits the 1320 on the weekends. so i guess ill be giving my review on the rear for this type of usage.

 

urg, still haven't received the Diff ..it was suppose to have shipped last week...looks like it wont be here on time for the track day..I'll give jon a call tomorrow

 

waiting on that call back from you Jon,

Jon's had my diff for almost 5 weeks now (if it hasn't shipped, which I don't know if it has)

I wouldn't send anything his way at this point in time since it seems his so backed up.

 

kind of the reason i went with cusco
