hi guys,

im josel from vancouver, bc. we stay in our friends place in everett whenever we go shopping. id like to attend one of you guy's meet if its cool with you guys.

i traded in my 04 350z roadster for an 05 evo 8 with the ssl package. im soo happy i already own my dream car!

im 22 yo, raised in Manila. i pay bills for a living.

 

Welcome to the forums and grats on getting rid of that Z for an Evo, good trade IMO

 

Hey nice to meet you and welcome to the fourms. You are more than welcome to meet up at any of the meets.

PM Sent.

 

Yah I lot of people told me that it was a good trade!

Thanks for the warm welcome! This community is effing awesome!!

 

Why you gotta be hating on the vq?

 

Hello and welcome Josel, glad to see another new Evo owner

Hope to meet you at one of the upcoming meets

 

What up, Josel. I'm half flip myself. I was raised a navy brat so I don't speak the language (dad never spoke it) but I know there is a pretty big Filipino Evo community.

 

Ah, you moved to a 280 on the exhaust? I've been thinking I might have jumped at the Cosi's a bit too early without enough research. I'll be working with Aaron to figure that out down the road - maybe see what we see when tuning the red and make the decision then.

Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car in person again.

 

Likewise dude! I'll let you know how that 280 does... I'm iffy on it right now. I have heard so many mixed things about it. Some say 10-15hp and some say 2-5hp but you will lose like 10tq... I'll let you know!

 

You'll probably lose some spool-up time too, right? Very interested to see how it goes!

 

I may loose so spool but depends on what Aaron does with my lobe seperation. I just hope I get some gains!

 

I'm sure you will. You better seeing the tradeoff of the bigger cam.

 

sup name is Chris, I will be moving to Fort Lewis very soon. I'm a MP in the Army I drive a 05 EVO 8 SSL.
