The extra .2 ltrs would add what, 40-50 wtq? I didn't do center diff pins on my car but that's because I never launch the car. Whenever I have to replace the current clutch then I'm going to have it done anyway...

Alright then. Ill keep the motor stock for now and see how the car responds to the aforementioned upgrades. And I guess I wont do e85 in risk of blowing the motor. I sure hope I see gains of at least 50whp or I am going to feel real stupid for dropping the cash on the car. Thanks for the time everyone ha spent. I drop the cat off tomorrow or the other mods. I'll let you guys know my numbers at the end of next week.

I've been hearing those SSP upgraded dif pins are breaking on multiple customers' cars.

It's just on the DL.

The SSP MC's are evidently undergoing a revision change or something, yeah.

Good. Keep breaking them until they work, and then I'll buy some!

That's my hope too, in a sick way . Watching that thread on EvoXForums is mildly sad/amusing; one person has an issue, then two, then... oh, 500 pages! Yee haw!

Hmm...$15K. I'd buy a mint stock S2000. The Evo? It's great as it sits.

It's ugly in its stock form because it's so fat and lifted.

He disagrees about the statement applying to the stock X.

I don't have a X, and if I did, it wouldn't make a difference. I bought my Evo to drive. The stance or any other appearance-driven ricer bullsh1t is of no consideration, whatsoever. Others, of course, are free to do with their cars as they wish.
