Wheels look good.

Well guys and girls, I scored a co-drive in the fastest Street Mod car in the country. So I'm heading to Lincoln Ne to fight for a national championship. I'm alittle nervous but I do have faith that I have what I need to do well. It will be a matter of me being able to find it those days.

Glad you got the seat! I met the guy at Mid-O in August when he was running in the HPDE 3 group and he seemed like nice nice guy....his car is very nice and very well set up.

No doubt that you will kick some serious **** out there!

Looks good man, what is the offset and width of the wheels, and what size tires you running on?

And do you rub at all in the rear?

I'm glad he picked you. Patrick and I put our support behind you. You're going to do fine. I'd be curious though to see how you're times would compare between your car and his.

Good luck!!!!

9.5" wheels /w +35 offset. Running 255 35 18 tires no rubbing. I'd be curious if I was able to get 265 under there without rubbing.

not sure to be honest

I sit a little lower in the rear and with the 255 I rub once in a while on hard bumps... its from the bolt in the rear fender/bumper connection, and i would be using the 265's if i could have but till I fix it, 255's for me..

Are those volks?

BOSE Speakers
Anyone ever put Bose speakers in their Evo? I was driving around in my son's Audi S4 with the Bose system, and was thinking if I could find Bose or something that sounds as good...it would be nice to upgrade the OEM speakers in the EVO. I just don't see any on Crutchfield that look like they would fit.

Anyone make a competitive alternative to BOSE that sound as good?

I have some decent Alpine ones in my car and they work great. I had to add a little 10" sub in the trunk to give it more low, but it is by no means obscenely loud bass. I mounted the amps for the speakers under the two seats and it came out pretty clean.

FWIW, these are the alpines in my car (these might be a few years newer than what I have, but essentially the same thing). They sound great and aren't obscenely expensive.

OEM speakers are an odd size i think... They are like 6.75" and few companies make them. They do sell spacers that bolt in that allow for a 6.5" to fit in there, and they are not expensive at all.


JL audio is top notch stuff if you cant find bose speakers that fit your liking....

Thanks for the link, I am getting my Xmas list together to give to my wife early this year I know she won't go for a new turbo...but I think I can get new speakers under the tree....
