i got my helmets here.

http://www.motodirect.com/

they're cheap, and most are SNELL approved. perfect for just starting out.

 

I got mine from there, too. I am a small guy as well but still got a large. It fits perfect.

 

There is that damn E85 again.......I keep hearing about it, make me wanna race with it lol


Also Pm me the details behind this deal thingy mabobber

I was looking to get 280/280 BC

Im open to other if cheaper lol

SJ

 

you know SJ, i have an extra helmet you can borrow, but i have a mongoloid sized head, so it will most likely be rather loose.

 

SOOO thats how you got your screenname lol.....hmmmm......

We can see whats up then Thanks bro

 

i am so not joking. haha.

i actually got laughed at in a hat store by the clerk one time when i was younger. i came in and asked for a hat in a 7 5/8's size and he just kind of chuckled.

so the helmet is rather large, but it's not *really* there for protecting your head, it's more of a formality for insurance purposes at autocross events.

 

LOL ^^ Ok I wont laugh at you....you seemed to have grown into it anyways....



Welp wish me luck everyone, the evo will be out of order untill further notice...I am:


Swapping clutches
changing my fluids

good luck man. i helped out of my friends change a clutch on his car this summer, and have vowed never to go near a clutch job again. haha.

 

Hahaha , I helped a bit swapping out Big T's clutch in october on his IX.

It isnt the easiest of jobs but with the proper tools and help it is do-able without too much cusssing

 

Oh yeah I already have my swear jar, bandaids, and pillow ready.......

Swear jar for my cussing
Bandaids to patch my *** back up
and a pillow to punch when i bust a knuckle on the axles LOL


Thanks for the Luck, Justin that a shame I was going to invite you over to keep me company.....Ill buy the Beer ....... HAHA Im back off to the setup, see ya.

 

hey tyler v, i should have my evo down at duquesne like on thurs/fri....maybe we can meet up?

 

OK guys Im still batting the whole cams idea around in my head, meanwhile brainstorm the money issue up. I have someone who offered me The HKS 280 for 275 shipped, both of them. Here is what he said:

"Well first of all brian crowers 280's arent the same as HKS. HKS has put alot more development into their stuff unlike brian crower who just copies or throws some cams together. I would let them go for 275 shipped"


Should I take him up on his offer?


SJ

 

IMO HKS is going to be a great cam no matter what...I would probably say an HKS 272 is comparable to a Crower 280 cam. An HKS 280 cam is going to be very aggressive, and if you are going to put those in you are going to want to do springs and retainers as well. I don't think Crower even recommends their 280's without upgrading springs and retainers.

So in short, $275 for a set of HKS 280's in excellent shape is a very good deal but throwing them in your otherwise stock setup is probably not the best of ideas.

Again - IMO.

 

I will run against that fool with my thursday setup..see link below....
