local Pittsburgh Meet
Hey, we should get something together for the week of the 4th. We could meet up at Rick's or somewhere close for everyone. I'm on vacation that whole week. Anytime is cool with me except for the 27th, 28th, and 29th. I'll be away.
Is anyone interested in getting together?

Where you trying to do this Brian, Ricks sports bar? That would work real nice.
I agree the waterfront for me sucks
1. its not worth it without the Evo
2. The construction does suck ball sacks
I am down for something in the area

That was me. Unfortunately I don't think I will be using the HKS intake for much longer. I am planning on getting Inejn intake and UICP. The HKS won't fit with the piping... With the way I am throwing around my money right now another $125 doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
and now things are starting to chafe
Yeah, Rick's would be awesome for me. I'm like 10 mins away. As long as it's okay with Brian, which I'm sure it will be. He mentioned it a while back.
No, its not since you started your build, its since you started acting like a knowitall. Steelcity has my and others respect because he was trying to learn, made a mistake, and has been honest about it. You on the other hand go spouting off about **** you don't know jack about and I have a serious problem with that so I crack down on it. You've done a lot of reading and it shows. You've done very little real world wrenching and it shows. For example your car has been down for a retarded amount of time. You said it would be running in april. You got all cocky and challenged me to a race when you first started the build. You have followed through on nothing and you don't know what you are talking about. The last thing you should be doing is giving advise or cracking on a guy like travis who is out their learning on his own car, tuning his own car, and wrenching on his own car.
Retaded amount of time my cars has been down you say? ..
Ok, lets recap:
June/july I buy an EVo Green turbo.. Put it on as well as injectors, have to take my car to get transmission work from mitsu .. car is there about 1 month
august/sept Drove the car for about 2 weeks +- some time before i later sold my turbo kit and all accessories to a member of this forum
sept/oct had pulled the motor out completely and had stuff waiting to have it built but did not have all my internals.
Car is off the insurance from DECEMBER 1st till March 1st.
In that time period around january/feb the motor was taken to slowboy where it was then put on a shelf till the (13 or 14 other motors) ahead of mine were built. I told them i was in no rush. Car couldnt be driven for 2 months anways.
May comes around get new parts like AMS fuel system/New crank shaft/ etc etc
June motor is built and have been waiting about 2 weeks now on my exedy triple disk.
As i posted photos the other day my ETS 4.5" FMIc just came in finally, and i cant rush others.
The final factor is money. I am placing a budget on what i expect to pay each month on parts for the car. I AM IN NO RUSH. i think everyone on here is more impatient than me.
I am done with pittsburgh thread.

wouldn't it make that sound all the time? wtf
I will do it again . I had always recognized the fact that at any given moment I could break some stuff on the stocker. It happens to the best of them. You aint racin if you aint breakin
I figured I would just give my own logic since my logic is being used as example.
No offense taken Eric
Oh and I am fairly confident in saying amongst this pittsburgh group , nobody came close to putting the same strain on their stock motor. At the track , but even more so on the highway rollin with some force fed V8's , and pushing the stocker in rpm's and power. Alot of people raced their Evo's here doing events. But for me it was a weekly assault of street racing week after week , and tuning inbetween to try and push the motor further with boost and rpm's.
I mean honestly my car has not seen anything less than 100 octane in the tank for well over a year. that meaning last summer over a year. I use the Evo strictly for racing be it at the track or on the street nothing less.
Daily driving my Evo has no idea what that is about





...too much testosterone in this forum....so just chill out...each person is entitled to an opinion and thats what makes the world go round
