That video is awesome!!! Where and how did you mount the camcorder to? Also what coilovers are you running. I like the way you caught up with two cars towards the end.

Also what pads were u running at the track?

I was at the track a couple weeks ago and I know this car just kicks a$$. I caught up to a Porsche that was at least half a lap ahead of me not to mention that I destroyed the ego of a lot of Porsche and BMW owners that day. That was my first time with the EVO and I couldn't believe what a kick *** track car it is.

Have fun.

Thanks guys!! It was another fun day indeed.

However, I need to play around more with my suspension. This was the first time running with these coilovers at the track. The dampers were a bit soft the way I adjusted them before I went to the track and the car felt nervous on a high speed turn specially turn 1 after the main straight. Also felt a slight understeer which can get very ugly sometimes and it's up to the driver on how you wanna control the car during turns. The car was easier to drive when it still had the stock suspension and with these coilovers, it'll be a challenge for me to find the settings to my liking. But hey, I gotta start somewhere. Tires are also on the next list.

On the other hand, these coilovers are very comfortable for street use. They are way softer than the stock suspension when its set on the lower setting.

What brake changes have you made if any? ducts? pads? rotors? I see you still have the rubber lines.

All are still stock. 2 HPDE events so far on the evo and I did experience a slight brake fade. I'm just going to wear them out, pads.. rotors..etc. then upgrade all at once when the time comes. Can't complain much.

Ray needs some Cusco Rear swaybars! I recommend set the rear dampers at the about 3/4 to the stiffest settings. Somewhere around 20+ clicks for track use.
