man i just took a trip down memory lane....all the way back to 2002 with my Lancer.

then i saw this......Kevin's 1st Evolution Dynamics post....

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/so...uning-dfw.html


he has come a longgggg way.

i was dumb back then....

 

wow, weren't we all...
the prices we paid in 2003 for the same stuff today
I bet the EvoX owners will see the same thing happen to them..

 

"will see"? Heck, my car's worth $10k less than I paid for it 15 months ago already... and that's not including the $$$ I've put into it!

 

I saw a lot of posters in there who I don't see anymore. Maybe they sold their Evos or moved away?

 

dridge11 sold his evo and moved to cali, curt sold his evo and i think it was Josh Burgess who bought it. Paris Hilton is sarah, who gave or sold her evo to lauren (sisters). EZ is ethan, he sold his evo. jeffmas still has his. Ninja88 sold his, the window sold his, john4321 sold his (still hear from him occasionally), apex racer sold his (his wheels are on our race car now ). most everyone else still has theirs and posts regularly! good to see so many people stick around for so long!

 

you have a loyal fan base....plus i need to get timing belt, etc done...just rolled over 60,000

 

Thats cool!
I read through the posts.... hahaha it took us about 2 years to get stickers hahaha!

Its amazing to see all the changes... we were talking the other night, when Kevin and I lived together, I used to make our cam tools we used to do cam installs, and we only had a small hand carry tool box with random standard and metric tools in it, whatever we didn't have we "borrowed" from our third room mate Chris and I used to have to sneak up to the University Machines shop or the machine shop I worked at late at night to do any machining or welding..... Now we have a 3000sq ft shop with 3 full rolling craftman tool boxes full of tools, and all sorts of specialty tools including our own tig welder... I still have to sneak up to school to machine broken bolts hahahaha.... one day we hope to have full machining capabilities in house!!!!!

Actually the tool we use to pull out the output shafts from the transfer case still uses the last cam tool I made!!

We still dont have a complete pricing list, or customer testimonials... instead thousands of posts from happy customers and one of the best word of mouth reputations around in the evo community!

Thanks everyone for to support, its cool to see friends/customers like Jim and Kelly, the first two evos we worked on other than kevins...... Jim TxEvo8 I think was the first tune, and he is still coming back!

 

what about my Lancer? was i the 1st and only lancer??

 

Im pretty sure....it was.... other than mine.... I donno though, I wasn't as involved as I am not in the early days, I had to take care of this little thing called College, and I had to graduate before I got kicked out... believe it or not there is a limited amount of time to get a Bachelors before the state and US government gets ticked off... I got cut off from the government money 2 semesters before I graduated, and I was 2 hours of class away from having to pay out of stat tuition..... so I had to focus hahaha

I was scared to death to touch your lancer....I was afraid if we took it apart we would never get it back together, or it was going to be screwed up hahaha

GOOD CALL on buying an evo, the lancer was cool, but a mess!

 

really?
i had a text from Kevin on August 25 saying he would schedule me in...?
thats why i couldn't do the cobb dyno day, even tho i showed up and watched

 

i was one of the first toooo!

 

kelly, i told you i would schedule you in, just tell me when you want it done. i'm booked 3 weeks out right now though. M-W-F usually after 8pm, or my off friday or saturday are the days i can do it.

 

I'm still here, just no evo :P. Graduating next semester so hopefully i'll be in another one soon

 

Evos make great graduation gifts -- even if you have to buy it yourself. That's what I did. Got my Bachelor of Science in December 2007 and bought my Evo 3 months later. That's a true story I've never told here before. Now you know.

 

lol +1 on that i was too.
