Hey Mondobongo, I was down at Casty Village and noticed a graphite gray IX MR with stock VIII wheels, Euro-trunk badging, and a CF heat shield - just wondering if it was yours.

By the way, those are some sweet pics - where the hell is Hanover, PA?

yup, that would have been mine, i saw yours sitting there on the way in. stopped down subway for dinner. gotta say the flatbread sammichs are a little dissapointing. haha.


here are my pics from today, nothing spectacular, mostly skylines:

this is the first rough draft of the banner. with all the elements i added, you can barely tell the pittsburgh skyline is in there, but it is.




i will probably be doing a couple more banners using the pictures i took today, they're all going to be for a blog site.

another totally off topic comment, but i do love take pictures in the city. the patterns, shadows, and eyeflow the buildings create is really cool.

we starting taking pictures around 4:45. so by that time the sun was starting to go down, making for a very even light across everything. found a really cool parking garage near PPG place, the one with all of the iron work at the top in the pictures, that i think would make for a great backdrop to a car photo-op.

also, the detail in the architecture on some of the older buildings is really interesting, and makes for dramatic contrasts with some of the newer modern buildings.

I moved here 3 years ago....everyone was pretty cool with me and didn't take me long to learn the city and the surrounding areas. I like Pittsburgh a lot and plan on it being my permanent residence for a long time.

Local Evo Owners

Hey guys still have a few things for sale

HKS 272 CAMSHAFTS
GT3076R TURBO KIT(OR TURBO ONLY)
FIC 850cc INJECTORS
SBR FMIC GARRETT CORE 24X12X3.5


The turbo kit consist's of HAFE Stainless Steel Cast manifold, Garrett ball bearing turbo with a .63 turbine housing, HAFE Stainless Steel Cast O2 housing, Tial 44mm wastegate with both dump and recirculation pipe, 4inch intake with pipe/filter/ and a 4inch maf adapter to allow use of the stock maf sensor. And stainless oil feed line with filter , and oil return line.

The nice thing about this kit is the fact that it will bolt to either the stock downpipe or any downpipe that bolts to factory location , which is almost every downpipe

The Camshafts had made a +28 whp on a before and after with the stock turbo.
The GT30R had gone 11.1's @ 125 mph. It has only seen up to 28psi.

The GT30R turbo is a very good street turbo, hitting 20psi @ 4100 rpm with much more topend pull. I think there is probably another 4-5 mph to be had out of this setup if it was tuned with C16

I am willing to work some payment plan options out for the locals , If lump sums are harder to come bye

The setup has been proven on and off the track as a few locals know. Show some local Evo owner love
