Plans for 2009?

Well since it is a new year, its time for bigger goals and more mods. So what is everyones plan for their evo in 2009?

Me?

I have two possibilities.

First - If E-85 makes it way into the valley I am in, I will convert over and run E-85 on a daily basis. I would probably go from my S1's to the S2's just to get some more power also.

Second - If E-85 does not come around here, I will go with a FP Red, a Magnus cast intake manifold, S2's and a kick *** ETS exhaust manifold.

Also, I will probably be sending my transmission out to get a rebuild before it takes a dump on me . I would like to make it to the track before and after the new parts just to see the difference in time.


What's your plans?


Happy New Year!

My goal is actually to not have to buy a ton of stuff for my car this year. I'm hoping the tranny/transfer case/motor stay strong the entire year so I can do my motor build next winter. I might switch to an AEM ems and possibly a few other small things. Oh, and I'd really like to run a 10.
