The cage is about done. I will post up pics in the next few days.

Anyone have a evo 9 turbo compressor cover laying around? I need to run a 40mm restrictor for the Mt Washington climb to the clouds hillclimb. I need to have the restrictor built and could use a turbo for mock up. Anyone kno much about running a restrictor?

that's a pretty big ask. not like lending a hand with an oil change or suspension swap.

so it seems the international auto show gets slightly crappier every year.

the highlight of this year was easily seeing the FastTrack for a Cure booth on the top level next to Mini.

the FastTrack event is coming up at the end of may in the north hills pool parking lot. it's always a good autocross, and it supports an amazing cause (HDSA - Huntington's Disease Society of America). Morgan really does a lot of work putting together one hell of benefit event.

Wow, summer blend in Robinson already? I'd run it now if starting it in 20 degree weather wasn't so difficult.

Does anyone have opinions on vinyl car wraps vs paint? I'd like to eventually do a matte silver re-paint/wrap, but I don't know what is the better cost effective solution.

Agreed. Underwhelming. Then again, the entire auto industry isn't making anything exciting anymore so it's not the shows fault entirely.

Well maybe if you like hybrid cars with extra batteries that get 40+mpg.

Did you have alot of trouble starting? The few times I had mine sit in the cold I had a little trouble (I think it may have hit 20s?). I just had to increase my temp compensated IPW adder and it seemed to start up, however, I didn't get to test it much.
