this morning a base lancer (late model) showed me his blistering acceleration i seriously don't know what he was trying to prove.

josh and pete keep your eye out for an apex silver lancer with license plate mystry8 or something. it was a "mystry" why he felt he had to do between 90-100 down 322 bypass.

 

yeah i know. i am not that sensitive. i was just wondering what you thought of it if you did try one out. i hear mixed things when coming from an older evo as i am sure you do too.

that's cool. i am coming to realize that a truck as a DD is not a bad idea. i can't say bouncing around over bumps and tons of body roll is fun but it does serve a good purpose.

congrats on the new ***** magnet.

 

yeah, it seems 'most' people with VIII/IX's dog the X and vise versa. alot of people have a hard time admitting their car is inferior to another car, I guess its a pride thing. I've heard good and bad about both. My opinion is very biased because I've never driven an X and I love the VIII/IX, but I don't think either is a bad choice, it comes down to what you want out of the car.

solid axle & leaf springs FTMFW!! After driving this thing around all week the EVO is gonna feel like an exotic Italian sports car.

 

Your probably used to that kind of stuff by now, no?

Once, in n-town a guy in a R32 came up along side me and made sure I knew his BOV was working. I was going to give him a thumbs up but he nails it through the light while I made a left.

That stinks, I may have to do some convincing. My wife is not going to drive there anymore, so it's worth it to them to let me transfer the membership to someone who will use it. I'm sure that will make sense to them.

Nice new DD too, that's definitely a ***** wagon.

 

yeah but it gets old. as i get older i notice this behavior is from the youngins. people with actual fast cars (not that i have some super fast evo or anything) aren't blatantly trying to street race at rush hour.

plus this guy let it RIP i followed him half heartedly accelerating until he was going way too fast for the road. I don't need to be caught doing that stuff. I drive my wife's corrolla around and I can't imagine how much of a douche i would feel like by trying to show off to something built to be run hard.

there is this other dude i see on 95 that gives me the most obvious ricer fly by all the time. i'll pass him going a few mph faster and he'll slow down then. reeeeeeeer pssst right past me at like 65-70. it never ceases to entertain me.

 

well i guess i can talk about it since its nearly official. just waiting for the dealership to send me their info so i can wire tehm the money. the truck is already en route to pick it up.

and no its not awd 4wd....but it is white. and its getting snow tires

2007 lotus exige

sorry abou not parting it out. i have been much to busywith work.. yes a job. so since it was the daily driver, icouldnt afford the downtime. sold it within a week of posting. so im happy.

so can i still come autoX with you guys? haha

 

congrats on the job. oh and sweet *** car, matt.

 

Nice, can I have an Autox shot-gun ride in it?

 

Hell yeah, you mean run circles around us. Exige/Elise + R comps = Win in SOLO. I've looked into doing to same thing, but I would get a regular elise. The exige is ballin though. Nice pick-up fo sho Matt, congrats.

 

Nice pickup! Is the Exige the one with the supercharger on it? If its the one I'm thinking of they're like $70k new or something like that.

Is this going to be your daily up there in MA?

Have you done much research on them? A buddy of mine was thinking about going to a lotus, but heard that with the one piece clam-shell body you can basically total the car by something as stupid as jacking it wrong or even (gulp) hitting a block of wood on the highway.

..chirp-chirp... chirp-chirp... got real quite all of a sudden...


Anyone doing the winter series autox @ NJMP this Saturday? ITs only $35 to race, no SCCA membership needed.

 

Nothing big. Just injectors, fuel rail, pressure regulator, and whatnot. I figure its already out when I put the manifold off so I'll get her done. All in case I go big one day!

 

Matt, what spares part you got son?

 

Not I.

Oh, is that all...?

I got some spare RPF1's in almost new condition if you or anyone else is interested. No rash, no curb marks, washed weekly.

 

sorry chu no spares.

yea this is gonna be my daily here in boston. i know its nuts but im 25 and have no other responsibilities but my mortgage. its ok to have some fun.
yea i know all about the clams and how much it can cause to fix them.. 10k plus. on that note though, my insurance only went up 100 bucks. not bad at all. thats some pretty wild damage in the pictures though.
