Well boys and girls.. hot on the heels of our Evolution Dyno Day, we are having our 2-Year Anniversary Open House! We invite you to come up to see us and hang out for the day. As always, there will be plenty of Sechrist Hot Dogs and Sodas offered all day with plenty of cool cars to check out as well. We will do some dyno demonstrations with our 09 GT-R. Blouch Turbo and JM Fabrications will be on hand with a few of their vehicles and representatives to answer any of your questions.

We hope to see everyone here!



Pictures from last year's Open House.

you live within a one mile radius of my house and i think i have seen you a total of two times. you're the most elusive evo owner in PA
Other than the yellow evo I pass quite frequently at the Honeybaked Ham, I never see other owners. Although, I've been seeing a lot more lately. I saw that guy on the parkway last week, then Justin, then some guy two days in a row at the exact same spot on rt 48 by Kmart and Home Depot (anyone on here?), and today someone in the Monroeville Kmart / Don Pablo's parking lot (silver).

I usually drive by your house at least twice a week. Usually around 6-630 and around 300 in the afternoon.

the weather is warming up and they are coming out of the wood work.

i even saw a white viii rs (or gsr with spoiler delete mod) on brownsville road in whitehall last week. i rarely see any others around my way unless they're coming to visit me.

it probably has alot to do with the cars getting some years on them and getting more affordable for people. just think, in 5 years all the current srt4 owners will be able to trade their neons in for a nice 10 year old evo, cheap as chips.

that's a good thing though, that will make it easier to find one to strip down to the floorboards and make in to a race car without completely braking the bank.

i would love to pick up a IX RS in a couple years for cheap and build a nice solid play car out of it.

there are quite a few monroeville way near where i work. i see that yellow one parked near the honey baked ham store all the time too. no idea who it belongs to though.

at any rate i think it's a good thing to see the community grow now that the cars are becoming more reasonable to own.

If that is true i hope these car do not turn in to the next dsm seen where every 16 year old kid has one, puts a body kit on and thinks there in fast and the furious. Then go no to beat the **** out of them, don't take car of them and wonders why the break

I just saw a Silver (possibly a X) Evo in Cannonsburg with a 350z screeching his tire behind you. I was in the silver VIII with the messed up bumper, though I don't think you saw me. Anyone on here?

There really has been an evo explosion around these parts as of late.

Lots more 03-04's and a surprising # of X's.

Methinks most IX owners will be holding onto them.

^ No man, ethanol should not be harmful to either unless it's in there for a very long time. They sell bottles of liquor in thin-walled plastic bottles. Some of that stuff is almost as potent. Unless it's something else in the mixture, the alcohol should be fine in a gas jug. Plus, most meth injection tanks are plastic aren't they? Methanol isn't much different.
