Hey Jeff are you making it to the hillclimb this weekend?

No they are pretty reasonable. If you want it done right without any scratches i'd suggest them. i think i paid like $65 for mountin and balancing. Altho i've had them do wheels and tires before and build me a seat bracket so. they might have giving me a deal. Honestly its worth a few extra bucks for the peace of mind that they arn't going to damage the rim. I had someone try and mount my last set of tires on my stock wheels and i asked him about 100 times, "are you sure you can do these" . his answer. "well i just bought this $10.000 tire mounting maching and it will do up to 24" rims. Well long story short. about 2 hours later i get a call and he says come get the rims and tires i can't get them on. plus a nice big gouge out of one of the rims.

Hey guys, i got a customer who totaled his evo and has a few parts left over he needs to part with. It is the 30-1313 AEM which is the Box, Cable and CD. No sensors are included, but if you need them you can buy them through us or anyone who carries AEM parts.

Anyways he is asking $1000 shipped. If you guys have any questions about this or would like the photos, let me know and i'll post them up.

does he have anything else to get rid of off it, or just the AEM?

I will give him a call up on Monday and ask him what else. He really only mentioned the AEM to me as he wants to get that gone asap.

I finished my Ported manifold, 10.5 hotside, and O2 housing install. Wow, what a difference in boost. Way less lag. The job sucked big time. Everything went well though, so I guess I can't complain. (No broken bolts or studs, and the o2 sensor wasn't bad at all.) Just don't listen to the people who say it can be done in 2-3 hours. It took me a lot longer. No more installs like that by myself. I'm so sore today from rolling around on the cold concrete!

what do you guys think about $1500 for used (supposedly mint condition) 17x9 Advan RS's? Im not real familiar with good prices for these wheels in 17''...im leaning towards it being a little on the high side...any input would be appreciated.

Also, what do you guys think about the new AME FS01's in??

Seems a tad pricey for used. Not that much more new. Thats the first price I could find.

Well guys after this weekend of racing, the clutch finally said goodbye! 30,000 miles. Not bad! So what do i put in? Im not sure if i really need a twin disc. but maybe i should put one in for the future of the car. Time to decide today as i need this for a race in 2 weeks.

If you race a lot I would do a twin-disc in a heart beat....stock pedal feel and will hold up a lot longer than a single disc and take much more abuse imo.

On a side note:
I just did 311 miles on 11.3 gallons. I was stuned 27.5 mpg!! and it was mostly all back roads driving (hills, turns, etc)....and I even did a few pulls as well. I am very pleased with my car at this point, a little fine tuning goes a long way it seems

Good to hear

I am sending my manifold out tonight to buschur....and planning on doing my O2 housing and manifold install in early September. Hope I see some decent gains from it as well...
