Hey Dan...I have been away from EvoM for awhile, but I am actively looking for another EVO again. So, how did your build turn out? I don't see any web sites attached to your profile...where are the pics, video's, etc? Can't wait to see how it turned out.

Hope everyones weekend went well!

Mike - I am going to make an appointment to drop the car off this week, the heater thing is killing me. I am pretty sure it is a cam on the heater controls, because one side of it (blowing towards your head) works, but the other does not, it will just blow cold air.

Everyone else - Ever since I have made the switch to E-85, I have bought it out in Monroeville at the Sheetz, or at the Sunoco on the turnpike. Today I went and tried out the new GetGo in Cranberry since it is the closest to my house and I wanted to see the new shopping plaza up there. I have that Zeitronix ethanol gauge installed to monitor E% for the tune that I load to the car. I have a modified winter tune for the 70ish and one for the 80-85 in the summer. Both the Sheetz and the Sunoco had their fuel right around 71-72 (as expected) for this winter blend and both were up in the 80-85 range for summer. However, when I filled up today at the GetGo the Ethanol percentage was all the way down to 59-61! I was really surprised at the swing, and was a little worried about the car running rich (better than lean, however). So, I am not sure if the distributor just f'ed up a batch, or if they will consistently have E-59-61, but if you get gas from there, and noticing your car running rich, this is probably why.

Just thought i'd post that bulletin.

Thank god the Ravens lost this weekend, I was getting so sick of Baltimore fans running their mouths.

No worries, the garage is all done. Finally. I just set them on a shelf for you. Just wanted to let you know they were here whenever needed.

Oh man, The Fonz is the life of the party. I might have to check this out.

Ya hey Jim how ya been man. The build turned out pretty good I guess but all depends who u talk to I guess . Makes ok HP and decent TQ for a 2.0 I suppose. Only downfall has been that I broke 2 Tcases buy that's not due to the quality of the build

I know there's alot of Buschur haters on here but ya I really can't say enuff good things about my experience with Daniel and David Buschur

Results are in my sig

blasphemy i tell you!

While I fully admit I am one of the ones you described as haters.....I cannot deny you have had some pretty good results there power wise and a nice setup from BR - I do hope you get it to the track just to lay down some trap speeds (even if you lightly launch it)....would be great to see what the car is capable of MPH wise.
