A little update on my car. My center diiff was seized, i guess i did have the dreaded pin failure. Going to coast me $1700 bucks to have that rebuilt. Funny thing is that they sware it has nothing to do with the noise. They still say its the springs in the clutch that is making all that noise. I Went ahead and ordered a new stage 1 clutch disc. I think the stage 3 helped contribute to the pin failure, plus i cant stand the chatter. Sucks cuz that clutch is only 5 months old.
They didn't hear the noise in the rear diff, so i don't think they are working on that. I hope the seized center diff was making the rear make that noise, and fixing the center diff stops the noise coming from the rear.

Just let me know, love to help anybody.
My company delivers to Wilmington College and Clinton Memorial, so I have idea where you are. Once I get closer to actually buying some stuff, I'll see who's schedule works best and go from there.

Whenever and wherever you guys decide to do this I would like to be there if possible. As long as it is on a weekend I can be there usually. I could use a little learning session on these cars.

I am up for a meet as long as it is on a sat., I cannot take a friday off right now because I am the only one on my shift, crappy 2nd. I work in maintenance and we had a guy quit so I am working alone and it makes it tough to get a friday off but it can be done. I will meet as long as I have directions and no rain, too picky to take my car out in bad weather for now.

Unfortunately no. But, I will get to come home for a couple weeks visit here soon.

Seems like you all have big plans this year. Everyone is modding and tuning. Soon there won't be a stock Evo in the city. Who is shooting for 10s this year? I wanna see some slips.

Oh and get this...I am teaching a guy in Kuwait how to tune cars. He said the car scene there is out of control. They need tuners and mechanics like crazy. He even offered me a "job". Ha, not no, but hell no.

In other news...I have almost $2500 worth of new Jeep parts waiting for my return. My little black heap of american metal is going to get a full make over.

As it looks right now, I will be unemployed upon my return from the land of sand so if any of you need my "skills" I will be available this October.

Paul

The guy with the TT Camaro was going up to the Greenes last year, but the rest of us meet up here in town and just sit around and shoot the bull.

Paul I will need your skills, you can teach me to tune if you are willing when you get back.

I am willing to teach anyone willing to READ and READ a lot. Stock ECU tuning on the EVO is not an easy thing to learn. There are so many variables that must be understood in order to get the tune correct every time. I am not one to tune a car that will have "issues" with startup or drivability.

Welcome to the new guys.

Paul

Definately ( to what fractur3 said ) I'd be down for a meet around cincinnati for sure. Possibly kentucky / indiana if not too far when my deployment is over in roughly 6 months.
