Connecticut Evos
That is hilarious....Bob (I assume its the same guy because he said he was the owner of Forced Induction and gave me his card)...saw my car at a car show last summer and asked who built it. He then proceded to tell me Pruven's dyno blows transfer cases and I shouldn't go on it. I told him I had 100 passes minumum on that dyno in the last five years and im on stock tranny/stock tc. He said "Well I guess your one of the lucky ones"
Than he asked me how much power I was putting down. I said 550whp and he said "you should let me take a look at that aem, I can guarantee another 50whp".
He also said they were going to have the only "climate controlled" dyno room in New England and I had to bring my car by.
My buddy Mike was standing right next to me and was like wtf, why would Bob bad mouth the shop you have supported since 2004. It was pretty funny.
Well the modified car world is tough to say the least and karma isn't friendly in this economy. Several people called me about a dyno day Forced Induction is doing in March (its on ccdsm.net). Those guys are saying its a "save the shop" day because its expected to be closed before summer. (If its untrue than good for Bob...because it would be horrible to shut down 8 months into buying a shop.)
I know Bishop Motorsports closed his doors in Canton CT...which sucks because Kyle was really great at corner balancing and im sad to know my suspension shop is gone.

ive actually talked to a couple tuners in CT that all said the same thing about forced induction badmouthing other shops and tuners.If you need to badmouth other shops in order to drum up buisness...... UR DOING IT WRONG
Anyone know of any reputable shops in CT that can perform an 4 wheel alignment on a lowered Evo???
They tend to read super high in Florida. They read normal (LOW) everywhere else in the country. Maybe he saw one of those threads.
Something weird is happening but it seems like my aem is fine. It will get figured out. The car is ready to be tuned other than that. Hopefully it will be done this week. Pretty soon I would normally be driving it again as Spring approaches...so im starting to miss the car for sure.

I'm getting my Ohlins installed there in 2 weeks and getting a custom alignment and corner balance. I've heard they're pretty good but have no personal experience yet.
Great at corner balancing, sucked at alignments. Premature destruction of one of my Advans due to a "slip" in toe. Happened twice on the same corner.

I found a black evo IX MR that is in Groton, CT that I am thinking of buying. I was wondering if anyone might know who the owner is and if they can vouch for him. Guys name is Kevin. Also, is anyone close enough to that area to look at the car?
