Man 4gg63_24, you are one busy dude. You probably don't get out much do you?... It was fun playing holdem and shootin pool man. u should have been there... all the evo guys should meetup and have a bar-b-que at the park sometime.

 

Hey Whats your cell number again. Remember me from long time ago. Pm me. I wouldn't mind hangout with you or your buddies sometimes.

 

I will put the list together sometime this weekend of who I have. If anyone else is interested please send your information over and I will add everyone.

Sorry for the delay everyone, I am in the process of winding down here at USBank and getting ready for Unisys.

 

Well not to beat a dead horse but the guys over at Minnesota Sport Compacts have some pretty good reads on different gasolines.

From the sounds of it -
.
BP(Amoco) is the way to go, with Shell coming in 2nd.

Stay away from the Holiday gas, their 93 is not anywhere as good as the 92 from BP(Amoco).

Non-oxygenated Premium 92 is highly desirable for our cars with a good tune.

I am sticking to the BP 92 octane because it seems everyone who has done any data logging between BP and every other gas out there has the proof that there is less detonation, smoother operation, more power, etc..

BTW, I ordered my Works stealthworks muffler and 76mm intermediate pipe. I will be ordering the P2 flash next week after the dealership has my car for a brake concern (noisy when applying light pedal pressure).

If the WORKS tune and catback parts hold up and don't trip anything in the ECU, I am going to order the larger o2 housing, 76mm (3") downpipe and high flow cat and get the ECU retuned again.

Apparently people are saying that with a proper tune with the o2 WORKS housing and completed turbo back 3" WORKS exhaust the car is pulling as hard as a cammed (HKS264s) car. WOWSER!!!!

 

I'm usually around that area Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights because I come down to play soccer at that rec center over on Minnehaha and Dale. It might be Me it might not but if its around 6-9pm on the weekends then it's me.

 

So now what other shops are out there that do High Performance work on the EVO? I know Ron at RS does but he is on the other side of town for me.

Any ideas?

 

How about an evo dyno day, just runs, no tuning.
Last time I saw an Evo dyno day was 2 years ago.
Saw every color made in that year. Seems like everyone is still in hybernation.
I drove my evo all winter. Well not much still under 20k for 2003
I put everything back to stock, planning to trade it in for a truck instead.
I would get the same mileage anyways. I was hating the car for the past 2-3 weeks but reading up on this forums makes me appreciate it more.
I think I just need to see more evos everyday.

 

Ron,

What were you hating about the car for the past 2-3 weeks?

I have driven mine all winter with a 2nd set of stock wheels with Blizzak ws-50s and LOVE the thing to death in the winter time.

I average around 20.5-21.5 mpg, so I am pretty pleased.

What exactly did you have done to your Evo? WORKS, Vishnu, Buschur?

 

I wouldn't mind just doing a dyno day. See what I put out before I go get cams put in and get it tune with a new setup instead of dynoflash. WOW Ron getting rid of his EVO already. That sucks.

 

Count me in as well for a straight up dyno day my car is bone stock....But i would like to know what i started from....Is RS motors the only place with an AWD dyno??? I am really not a big fan of going to Elite Autosports to do some runs.....Thats just me however...But lets get it together!

 

this may be a stupid question, but is it going to be a free dyno day for us?.. I would love to see how much my car is making too.

 

No it won't be free.....We'll all just get dyno pulls at a discounted rate if I am to remember correctly......I am guessing you'll get 3 pulls for $50-$75 maybe less who knows depends on who is making the deal go down....I remember long ago going to a Dyno day and i believe it was like 2 pulls no tuning for $30....Those prices will include the shops strapping and unstrapping time....Either that I am completely full of poop and I just wasted your time as well as mine...But that is what i have seen the standard norm be

 

For some reason my gas mileage sucked.
I have a 5 month old who bounces everywhere because of the crap suspension the car came with.
The high flow cat started smelling and I had to crack the window open while parked waiting for the MRS. to get off work.
So I started selling the parts piece by piece thinking of trading it in.
I miss my 272's, they made a big difference.
I don't miss the exhaust.
I don't miss the smell.
I guess I got old and now like it better stock.
Oh ya, sold the AEM EMS too. regret that the most.
