Wow.....quite the drama has unfolded here in the steel city Seriously the world isnt going to end, everyone just needs to sing kumbiaya and drink a frickin beer....

Well I had a great weekend, Changed my rear diff. fluid and the noise dissapeared after about 30 min of driving around. I also spent a lot of time using ecuflash and evoscan. I have to say it was so easy to use and im quite comfortable at this point of using both. I turned my boost to 23psi, did a 3rd gear pull and no knock on stock map? so we leaned it out....Another 3rd gear pull, no knock? So we leaned it out even more, no knock..and so on....Amazing how rich they come from the factory....So the car is pulling much harder now (even my gf was impressed?) and its pretty much stock except for a buschur catback and mbc. Its spiking to 25 and settling at 23psi with little to no knock. Amazing what 30 min. and a little tweaking with freeware can do to the car. Its making some really good power and im really happy with it. Now I need to finish my full exhaust and get some more power out of it.

Anybody up for a weeknight evening meet this week for like an hr. or 2? im game after 6pm....Im in the Bellevue area

btw passed a yellow evo on 910 this morning....Anyone on here?

meh, i wouldnt sweat the wheels.


Seems like they are handing out evos for free around here.(greensburg area) Because I've scene probly 10 in the past week.

To my suprise we had alittle accidental "meet" this past weekend at some car cruise here on 30. I was just checking it out and whalaa, 2 evos, then 3, then 4. Over all pretty cool (including steelcity).

Anybody looked into this Pittsburgh Import Fushion thing going on?

I'm down for whatever! I'm free for the next month except on Wednesday's. Weather permitting; I think the Waterfront thing tomorrow would be cool! Let me know what’s up! On another note, is any one doing Import fusion this year? Brain Thanks for the comment! You rock!

Travman, roll out after work, Jeremy and I will be there till at least 9 I would think. It would be great to actually meet you in stead of freaking you out!
