oki, what time of day were you there?

the way the shadows from the trees are casting looks very cool.

 

I have an Exedy Twin plate HD, and no noise at all in my opinion. It is great. I had a Tilton twin plate in my 2004, and it was so loud I sold the car. My thought is all in the install. I had Mike install the Exedy, and I love the clutch. The Tilton I had installed by a Ford guy...and I am pretty sure now after using the Exedy he had installed the Tilton incorrectly.

 

EDIT: I am out here visiting family and I guess now the plan is to go to a Pirate game and then out around the North Shore and South Side later tonight. Bummer. I wanted to come hang out too....

 

I am going to have Mike install it. This is kinda what I have been hearing from other people I have asked too. Good techs seem to be very very rare when you're talking about working on an evo. Thanks for the help.

 

Do you guys think it will rain this evening? The radar shows some thunderstorms possibly heading this way...

 

How do I get to the waterfront from Washington, PA....can someone please help?

79?

 

here is directions

I wont be making it tonight - the car cant be driven. I had a major injector leak problem Thursday so my car is out of commission until my new seals show up.

I had them overnighted and according to usps they were to be here today - well checked my mail and I had one letter and no package - so they didn't come through for me (which im not surprised at all)

So I will have them Monday and the car will be up and running then - just not in time for the meet.

 

i just added myself...see ya guys tonight

 

well, it looks really nice out here now, so i am going to wash the car, and hope it doesn't rain.

 

For the most part you are correct. But here is really how i feel.

If you must use your evo as a DD and are afraid to do what you want to it because of something breaking and you not having a ride to work on monday morning, then you obviously need a beater car. Now forking up 3 grand might be silly, but i honestly enjoy driving my car when it was running ALOT. unfortunately i do not like driving it in snow (ice,salt,other bad drivers,hidden pot holes etc) and like to park it from december first till march first.

I also like to mod my vehicles very heavily, and this results in sometimes things breaking (nothing yet for me knock on wood) but if you expect your sunday morning autox'er car to be your monday morning commuter, then good luck

I chose to keep the miles low on my car (currently at 15,120) and will have less than 20,000 in 2009. Keeps my resell value in place if i chose to do so. Also i know mods hurt value, but most of the stuff is internal, and all i would need to make the car look stock would be a IX turbo kit.



I guess what im getting at is, everyone needs a second car when owning an evo. If you cannot afford one (not even a $1000.00 beater) then you need to downgrade to maybe a nice cobalt SS and get a civic for a winter beater


And at $4.25 per gallon, im not impressing people when i go grocery shopping or anything else that is senseless driving that can be done in something else that gets 32/34 mpg in the city *caugh caugh* my saturn

 

I totally agree with you Eric, but that $1,000 beater car isn't just $1,000. You have to factor in another insurance premium, the fact that a POS $1,000 car will not be perfect i.e. things will break on it, and another set of maintenance costs. Most guys say screw that, I'd rather buy some more mods on the evo and take a gamble.

 

o i certainly agree with you i was just saying how its funny with the whole goodwill auction thing. you know what i mean, having an evo and a complete old beater mobile parked next to each other or in the same drive way just looks funny. me ide just spend a couple grand and buy something a littttle less ghetto

 

thanks, i was out around that area for a while take pics in various spots. but i was at the park at just around 5

ok guys, like i mentioned to some of you at the meet tonight, if you have walkie talkies and/or camera, please bring them. i only have 4 walkie talkies, and they're all currently spoken for.

this is going to be a long drive, so i suggest a full tank of gas before we set off in the morning. also, everyone should print out a copy of the directions, should any of us get seperated.

the cruise down the highway will be relatively slow, but once we get past the yough lake, we will get on the back roads, and will be able to open it up a little.

these roads will bite though, and mistakes could be catastrophic. so use common sense, and leave a good amount of space between cars.

there is a small restaurant on the way that we can stop at for lunch, a couple miles past seven springs.

if you want to fish after the ride to the summit, i will probably be stopping off for a little while at High Point Lake to do some myself. you will need a license, rod, reel, and tackle.

i am looking forward to this.
