Congrats on the growing family, I know how hard it is to distribute time for everything I have a young family myself. You have an awesome garage though, have you checked out garagejournal.com? You might like it.


Great thread and very informative! Thanks

I'll have even more fun once I get the Evo to the race track again.

My buddy knocked out my new trunk skin, 12.4 lbs lighter than oem. Ordering material to make chassis mount wing stands. Have my buddy put into a CAD file then take to the water jet dudes. Once those are mounted I'll cut the new skin around them.

Yeah I suck at updating. Ive been working on the car a daily for a few hours here and there. As mentioned before my goal was to really clean up odd bits on the car and just simplify things. 2017 plan is to run some GTA events and make Buttonwillow in November.

Sold my Tundra and picked up this 2500 for tow duties. Plan on running several out of town events so this should pull my 22' enclosed.

Biggest change is switching over to the Haltech unit and logger dash. Have yet to get tuned but hopefully in the upcoming months.
