The plan is to crack that 11.49 goal I have...then if the car is still intact, I will definitely try auto x'ing it.

At first I thought it was my "tooning" that caused the engine failure...turns out it was #4 cylinder ring land failure that some of us X's are seeing.

Soo... Spring is not quite here yet (Effin snow), but I'm preparing for it! Anyone had any good experience on coilovers on Alaskan roads (over the past year)?

My evo runs fine with coilovers, the only annoying thing is the rear top mounts come loose (awesome roads by Palin.)
