Not sure how I am going to handle the evo IF i do sell it..

pretty sure it has a boost leak, have not had the motivation to figure it out.
i owe 15 on her, 2005 ssl evo 8 with 42k miles, so I know ill be able to break even.

But this is all simply IF i get the promotion, there are a total of 4 candidates.
If you like the car, you should keep it. If you are feeling too much negative attention because of the car, then I would just take the wing off, get some more toned down wheels, and maybe a more quiet exhaust and call it a day.

Do you know whereabouts you might be moving back to in WA? There are a couple owners in Yakima and the tri-cities areas but I think we are more active in the greater Seattle area.

^This! I think Derek has had some issues with his car though and he seemed to be waiting for the next shoe to drop at times. These cars can be rode hard and put away wet and picking up a used one can be a pain (sometimes it works out). best of luck with your decision!

you know im not really sure, but possibly the bellevue area. yakima is a little too small town-ish for my liking and there are plenty of mustangs/vettes to eat in bellevue

You sold your car?! (Sorry I haven't been on the forums in months lol)

It's good to see everyone still active on here, I miss the Evo community though I still have one. I was on the Lexus forums for a little bit but their lack of activity is depressing so I stopped going on there too haha...Is it me or is it a pain to sell stuff now? I've been planning on parting out my car for 3-4 months but with the new rules of pictures and a name card on everything, I feel like it's going to take an eternity On a side note, I've given up modding cars and I bought a motorcycle that I learned to ride in my small parking garage .

i sure did.

i know how you feel. i miss the evo community already.

its just you. stop being lazy and start taking off parts. it takes one afternoon to gather all the parts and snap pics. trust me, its rewarding to see members pm'ing you to buy your stuff. i sold a few parts already within a day.

one good thing about this community is no one here waste time anyones time. and we look out for each other (i think).

what bike did you buy? would you know anyone selling an ek? i want/need a car asap.

Its you. Plenty of people have expressed interest in your parts. If you wanted them sold. They would be.

Before you pick up a bunch of bad habits you should really get some proper instruction. If you ride bikes for any length of time, you will eventually lay one down.

jason is right about getting proper instruction. i am planning on learning to ride too and i will be taking a course for it. you guys probably have similar courses where you sign up and you learn to ride safe and help you get licensed at the same time.

ryan - so far soo good as far as my experience goes. :P it helps if you're not acting like an interweb douche 95% of the time.

Tell you what foam, for a 10% commission I will handle the sale of all your evo parts. I will take the pics, handle the PMs, arrange time to show the parts, handle shipping, etc.. I can even front a couple grand so you know Im serious. Plus that way I could get 1st pick on any items I may want

Funny you should ask, I actually logged on just to post up about this!

The team is already qualified for LTC, but we are also playing in the cities tournament this weekend at Carriage Square in Kent. Our first match is at 11am on Saturday.

Our rank 8 and our rank 2 both cant make it so our roster is all jacked up.

Me: 3
Brian: 5
Anthony: 4
Peter: 4
Tammy: 4

Why i'm a 3 in 9-ball I have no idea, they keep bouncing me between 4 and 5 in 8-ball, but I guess they like to hand me some easy wins in 9-ball?


How is your team doing? Did you play in cities last weekend, and/or regionals next month?

No, Ryan thought the fill plug was the drain plug, lol. I need to replace the diff fluids more often. It was not a pretty sight...
