I usually don't run in 1st gear at autoX unless I absolutely have to. The car gets too twitchy and starts to pitch back and forth too much.

Yes that was exactly the problem. Every time I lifted off the gas in first it would just start bucking like crazy so I would push the clutch in to smooth it out.

Anyone going to the auto-x this weekend? You guys really don't want me to be the sole Evo representative again, pretty sure I was easily the slowest turbo'd car there......

Bringing the Evo out of Underground for this has crossed my mind.

Do a voltex widebody, haha, AME rims or grab those limited Edition Enkie matte blake nt's, would look sick on your ride or the Genesis CE's.

Tranny is in motor is dropped in, turbo kit going to be bolted on over the weekend. Can't wait. My IM expires though so i gotta grab some seasonals before Nick tunes it.

Qwik, forgot but did you do your tcase? You gotta lsd in it?

no i was going to go for more of a rally look for my car i love to rip it through the snow and dirt i dont like autocross but love rally x i was going to put that on so it would keep me from ripping off my front bumper on the trails that i go on but i think i am just going to fix up my focus for rally i found a light bar for my focus from the same company i know it not all wheel drive but its payoff so if i wreck it or mess it up really good i dont really have to worry about it

Yes, I did the t-case when I rebuilt my tranny the first time. Shep stage 2 w/ LSD. Don't worry, I did everything I could when I had the chance.



See Evo's can do wheelies!


My car's right in front of yours, Jasper. LOL




And something Miah found:



yeah that woulda been cool to have happen while I was racing at Tanacross or drag racing. Miah found that when he took off my wheel.

The pin retainers are gone. How that happened, I'll never know.

So you seen the ride? Haha, miah said the tranny and motor are dropped in. Going to try and swing by Wednesday to see were they're at. Which lsd did you get? Quaife, wavetrack, or the rs lsd?

WTH? How the heck do you loose the retainer?

I can't even get my loose without some cuss words making their way out.
