the only thing i would add to this is make sure you talk to the guy doing the balance/alignment. The reason i say this is because a friend of mine was up here from PA and needed an alignment, so we took it to sears since it was last minute and needed it pretty bad and they were the only place open that would take him on such short notice. SO we go there and ask them specifically about doing an EVO alignment and the tech said sure no problem. Well after all was said and done they did alignment for a Lancer, which is not the exact same specs as an EVO. So my friend complained and finally got them to do the right thing.

I just ran over a dead animal on highway, while doing 70mph (there was no lighting in the area). i felt breaking its bones, but i also felt breaking something on my car. When i accelerate its fine, but when im decelerating i can hear some noise on the left front side. what could it be, before I check it out tomorrow?

i might make it out, but definitely no guarantee lol just like last year. Only made it to one Mohegan meet =/ before they got canceled due to the loss of the winter garage for awhile. Hopefully i can make it out to some more meets this year.

Where in CT are you? I might be able to get you based up... its been quite awhile since i've tuned AEM EMS... but if you need to get it running I can possibly help (depending when and where you are).

I'm trying to get the rally car back this week so i can bring it to mohegan on sunday.. Also assuming i'm not hungover as **** on sunday lol

^I kept looking for Evo's all day yesterday and all the guys that came to the event with me said they saw one and I never found it, it must have been you. I was there all day yesterday until the park was essentially abandoned and then went to Applebees in Torrington. Those bridge ported 20b RX8's were no joke, freaking loud and spitting fire every corner around turns 3/4. I had an awesome time yesterday though. I got to go into pit lane and the hot pits cause I was with the military as a rep yesterday. My photos are up on my FB page.
