Im not sure how the +40 with the 9-1/2 w would look....

i have two sets of 9-1/2 for my VIII

+ 30 are slightly more agressive than stock

+26 rears and +28 front are pretty much flush with the fender

Paid for last night, bought locally. Won't pick up until tonight or most likely tomorrow night. 2003 Silver Evo 8, about 50k miles. A few minor mods including brakes, springs, tranny, exhaust. A few minor dings. I thought a nice overall car for good price. Hillclimb is almost certainly in this car's future. I think I'll drive it until winter, then start some modifications after we move to West Virginia.

None that I have found. Summit racing though ships from Ohio and usually arrives in a day.

Im guessing you bought Eric Morse's evo! Nice pick up. Saw his car in person and it looked real nice.

Dave, you should do what I wanted with it on e85 and fp red turbo. Theres a lot of local pittsburgh boys that know what their talking about when it comes to modding these bad boys.
As for pick up Dave, tonight around 6pm works great to go to the notary, I can meet you with it their if you'd like as well.


On another note, does anyone have any dot 4 or 5 brake fluid preferbally motul rbf600? I need to re bleed the brakes in the lotus tonight, had it at the track 2 nights ago and for the first time boiled the brakes so need new fluid ASAP!
Thanks guys.

So I had an interesting morning...

Driving up babcock through North Hills I just so happened to notice something out of the corner of my eye on the passenger floor.....When I looked it was a brown mouse, I was like holy ****!! how did that get in here. Well upon me yelling the mouse ran back up under my dash.

I figured I will deal with this little bastard once im at work......well he came out once more on the drive and then ran back up under the dash again. I get to work and start my hunt and he is nowhere to be found?

I just went back out and beat around my dash, under the seats, trunk, etc and I hear no scurrying or any sounds? So I don't know if he is still in there or not

Im going to set a trap tonight with peanut butter and hopefully if he is hanging around that will take care of him.

A. I would like to know how the heck he got in my car to begin with? I think I may be pulling my carpet out sometime soon and looking for open crevices and duct taping them. If I mouse can get in what would stop a snake? I cant live like that
