Not a problem glad you enjoyed it, and a photoshoot sometime sounds good.

I recently made the switch to E85, but then the stock clutch could no longer hold in the higher gears. So after seeing ER's review on the Comp stg 2 unsprung clutch that what I decided to go with. I also had to change to the bigger 8/9 flywheel for the clutch swap(thanks to all who helped out), I'll be using the CC ultralight flywheel. I weighed it all before the install. FYI Stock 8/9 clutch and flywheel weigh in at 31lbs

Stock 6.5 clutch and flywheel



CC unsprung stg 2 and CC ultralight flywheel:


These flywheels weighed basically at exact same.

Need Importing Info

I was wondering if you can help me out with all the info and details on how to ship one back. I am currently deployed but stationed at Okinawa and I am planning to buy a Evo 6 TME RS on mainland in a couple of weeks. I get back to Okinawa next month but I am moving to Hawaii in September so if you can help me out with even just a little info, it would be truly appreciated. I really dont care about importing it myself or through TMO, as long I get that beauty with me to Hawaii. Please message or reply back. Thanks!

- Ruben

If youre talking to me; I plan to just use it on the track and if I can take it some auto shows. Overall I will build it up since I already have a rebuilt forged 4g63 from a Evo 6 RS with less than 1,500 miles on it

It's been a while since I posted.

I will try to start updating this again, I have done a fair bit of work on it with a good bit more planned in the next couple month. Here is a vid of me getting a feel for a course at my last track day. I left that GoPro on and killed it early in the day so I didn't get any video after getting comfortable pushing the car.
