I will see you on the first then...can't believe your still having issues with the car getting sorted.
The BR schedule has been going thru some changes and I have the full test n tune/fod/autox schedule for the yr

Hey, when are we gonna have another meet? I had a good time at the last 4 Musketeer Meet, but I was just thinking how awesome it would be to see 5 Evos or more at the next meet.

they are better than a lot of tires, especially suckitomo's

I hate cars! Replacing the brake dust boots is a real PIA. Seems so simple, yet melted in dust boots along with them not wanting to seat correctly, makes for a pissed of person. I did one snd I'm thinking I'd rather buy new calipers then try that some more. On top of that I don't think their doing alot anyways.

F it. I will tackle the other tommorow as Ive only been sucrssful with one outa 4 being seated right. I'm going to test out that caliper to see how long it last before the seals go.. It's all for the good of evo owners, Reasearch.

Oh, the rotors look nice tho.

Get it right.

I swap trunks.

I'm not someone who takes the wing off, plugs the holes with rubber grommets and calls it a "sneak peak" of my "build"

AND don't get me started on the tarted up impreza's.

The EVO up to 06 at least was a different car then the lancer from which it shared its cup holders. Subaru IS doing a lot more parts sharing between models in the lineup. Not that that's a bad thing, Subaru actually makes a decent car in the regular Impreza/WRX.

Hell the EVO's didn't even have cruise control.

So out of curiosity, why exactly can't you incorporate a Lancer cruise control into the EVO? What would be different between the 2?

You can:

I looked at doing this when i had my 9 but ultimately decided it wasnt worth it.
