for those who were curious about my times at prp the other night.

in order

14.49 @ 97.71 - 2.344 60'
13.924 @ 100.08 - 2.235 60'
14.145 @ 98.16 - 2.130 60'
14.057 @ 99.5 - 2.183 60'

nothing spectacular, but i was happy that i was running fairly consistantly. my first run was garbage because i had just driven in and only had about 10 minutes to let my car sit, and also i started slowing down when i hit the sign instead of when i saw the lights flash. hehe.

now i just gotta work on that launch.

I wish I could have made it I was in MD all weekend....Got back lastnight, I did call out to the mitsu R&D on friday and confirmed he worked there...Had a hard time understanding the receptionist because of a lousy cell connection but I believe she said he was the senior director of mitsu r&d which i was like great just wanted to confirm if he was real....she got a chuckle out of that and said yes he is real

Sorry I just dont trust people on the internet when they claim to be someone important, hope all understand.....to bad I couldnt have been there , would have been fun talking to someone from mitsu. usa....

I cant believe tom selleck isnt the real tom selleck...and mondo is not asian, talk about disapointment

Hopefully a meet will be on a time where I will actually be around, every one since I moved here and got my evo has been on dates / times I couldnt make it..... How about a 1-2hr weeknight meet after 6pm? Im always around then

A lot of people are running the ebay ss one with good success, I havent read any issues of cracking? and buschur found the ebay 02 made more power than his ported stocker....but I prefer cast parts since they tend to be more durable against cracking.....Invidia and works both have a cast 02 housing, with invida being a lot cheaper. So there are options, I would research some and see what the best option is for you

I myself would probably just get a stock 02 ported, durable, less hassle and you can find an extra one pretty cheap to send away so you dont have any downtime....

Im thinking the Ams one Steve! The one that fits without much cutting also . Here is a question to ponder. I just recieved my camber plates. Now should i adjust the stock ecentric bolt to full camber and then use the plates to add positive camber to bring it back to stock settings. or should i just let the 0 on the camber plates be stock setting? I would be able to get more camber out of the plates if i do the first one. Can't really say i've ever really used camber plates before so this is all new to me.

jeremy since ur big on autox i would set the bolt to give u absolute most camber, u can always dial that 1 degree out with the plates but u cant get that 1 degree back without reversing the bolt. how are those cams comin ? did u need upgrade valvetrain or are they drop in??
