Now that I stopped DD'ing my EVO I'll bet I start to see stuff like this pop up. I dunno why but everytime I retire a car from daily duty it starts to deteriorate. LIke usage keeps it alive or something. Weird thing is that I've seen the same thing happen with people who retire. Most are hard workers their whole life, then, once they retire and start to take it easy for a couple years they wind up with a stroke, heart attack or worse.

didn't I say I smelled coolant last time I was standing by your car @ Boeing, or was that just left over from the hose problem you had earlier?

what ever happened with that noise from the front suspension... was it the tie-bar hitting the DP?

I thought it was the residual, I guess not. It never looked wet before, not I can def see it though. As far as the noise, yes, DP hitting tiebars.

I just ordered a Mishimoto from ExtremePSI, free shipping FTW!

youre just butthurt cause youre not getting the first ride. you wanna try tooning it? there doesnt seem to be any open source tuning going on.
i got some parts in mind... smaller pulley,bigger intercooler, walbro 190l some injectors, exhaust, ported ex. manifold. intake. maybe the horse wants to get into lotuses (loti?) next.

remember peter, it weighs 2k, 250whp would feel like 400whp in a evo. and i plan on getting the weight down a bit too. 2pc rotors, lighter wheels (te37 in matte black i think) exhaust, mini battery, rear panel delete. i bet i can get below 2100lbs with me in it no problem.
107mph traps, enough said But I guess that is good enough for plenty of sports car owners

This is a very true statement. I know of a few people, cars, trucks, machines that this has happened to.

You gotta keep on keeping on
