NOOOOOO don't do it....not a ...gulp dare I say it...a HONDA....cough cough GAG.

 

haha Dude I came from honda's there cheap, inexpensive to build, RELIABLE!! and Fast. Also you can beat on them and they come back for more!! B series motors are the shiznit!

 

OMG I just threw up in my mouth. If you thought Evos were unreliable you should buy a DSM and a VW, then report back.

 

haha see I already know that. Thats why I never have or will own one. OR an Audi.

You get the newest grass roots? Look at the artical on the best track cars. Notice how a honda and acura both took first... humm...

 

Yeah in the slow car category.


Notice that Danny Popp destroyed everything except the GT3 prepped Viper? I see a C5Z in my future.

 

ya I did see that. You can get a c5z but unless you have danny pop's nutz good luck!

 

Yeah he is just plain insane. That's about the only car I have ever seen go around the track with the wheels pointed straight ahead the whole time. It never looks like he is steering, it just looks like the car rotates.

 

My talon has a leak in the brake lines towards the rear of the car at one of the line support brackets. Of course its rusted to hell which I believe had contribution to the leak.

Have any of you guys repaired something like this before? I have done all the maintenance and mods on the car minus the actual rebuild of the tranny which I let Shep take care of. I don't know how comfortable I feel after looking at the task.

Sure its easy to buy brake line, cut brake line, bend brake line and double flair it, but it looks like a disaster in trying to get the lines off the car to cut. I planned on just patching the damaged area if I can get away with it. The problem I see is doing the patch without taking the entire line off. I think this would require dropping the tank if its the brake line that runs to the rear passenger wheel.

Any experience in this category? Suggestions or comments would be very helpful. I might *gulp* take it somewhere to have replaced or patched. It might be worth the cost at this point rather than wasted my time.

I guess I could always hack the line up to get it off and route it how I want....

 

By the way, this is totally a newb question but what the hell qualifies as a "post" on here?

It shows I have 0..... total newb

 

I did the same fix on my last 1g. I can definately help you there... I have all the stuff, maybe even a piece of brake line.

 

Hey guys any of you guys around C-bus look for my old Evo rolling around. Dude from down there bought it hes coming to get it tommrrow. 03 Silver Evo with black wheels and some window tint.

 

OK guys with the twin disk clutches did you replace the clutch release rod when you installed the clutch ? I think santa is bring me one for christmas.

 

A local Evo owner was killed today in a BAD accident:

I think I saw this Evo at Perf. Align. last time I was up there. I think he was in another accident not all that long ago...not sure though. Anyone on here know him?

 

I just saw the same thread. wcpo said his name is Jeremy Whitener.
