anyone else go to Beaverrun last Saturday. Saw 3 evo's there, one blew off her IC pipe. I was kind enough to let her use my tools to fix it and they didn't even say thanks, actually was very rude the whole time. I told her she should get T-bolts clamps.
also saw a nice 50-trip eclipse.
But I will not be doing any drag racing there being it is only a 1/8 mile track and you dont even get time slips, WTF?

 

trav..... seemed you hit the nail right on the head with the statement about all of being a******s

 

What a nice day for a parade.

 

That is true. The IX seats don't seem to snug up well for normal sized people. I think the seats are something like 4 inches wider on the USDM Evo's though. The VIII seats held but they can keep them, blue inserts and all.

 

you said it...

 

+1 the VIII seats are not as comfortable, yet more restrictive on movement from side to side.

Must be fun to have enough grip to outperform the seats!!

Hey Eric,

I noticed in your sig that the Evo is "coming back in July".....planning on keeping her ?

Did you race the TDI car this past weekend or is this weekend?

 

Yep, dropped the evo off with Mike S. and im going to drop off the Tcase at sheps on my way to Mid-Ohio this friday. Got a lot of stuff planned for the evo and hopefully have it all wrapped up and ready to go first week of july. Saw your evo at the shop, mike says your parting it out to finish the race car build, hows that going?

 

I saw your car i think... Red, advans and some nasty tires on it? looked sick, and mike said it will handle like a dream too!

 

hey eric are you heading to mid-ohio august 7-9th?

 

Uhh august 7-9th? idk, not for the TDI Cup, Ill have to look on my calender to see what I can do up there then.

Yeah Petey, Patricks Red evo is SICK, mines the silver stockish one with pealing calipers and 8 or 9 inch long scratches on the driver door lol.

 

Yup, that's it! It will be living at Baierl or in Mike's garage for the next few weeks as it goes back to stock....even though the motor was never touched (outside of a tune) there is still a ton of crap that has to be transferred over to the race car.

I'm just glad I kept all the stock suspension/exhaust/electronics/rotors/etc. in my basement or I'd really be scrambling!

 

Just remember, it all adds "character" (just like the 1000+ chips on my hood)

Glad to see you are keeping it...btw, there is an awesome robispec race setup for sale in the suspension forum for a crackhead price. Those c/o's along with the whiteline roll center correction kit and front/rear sways will turn that thing into a track monster!!!

 

Those crackhead prices are breaking my budget for the rest of the build tho it is a good deal, i'm looking at more like a new set of Teins so I can do wheels and some motor stuff. I also just picked up a neon to beat the crap outta, had it 300 miles and smoked the stock clutch in it lol....
