Goodbye NW, Moving to Texas. PICS

Well as some of you might already know I am on the road an headed to College Station Texas for more stable work. I wanted to give out a huge thanks to the local shops in the NW west and all the friends and people who I met. Huge thanks to ER, Lukas for tuning my car to an insane 630whp on E, and Aaron for putting up with me calling asking when my motor was going to be done before my trip. Mike and Chris at ETS and their crew for making some of the best inter-coolers and turbo kits on the maket. Tyler at Bell-Kirk for doing an awesome Job welding my cracked aluminum fender and painting my Voltex bumper which is now extremely dirty after a day of driving.

Later, will be keeping an eye on the NW forums since I still consider it to be my home.

Here are some pics of my new setup and the drive.

New ETS 3.5 Cusco Bar Intercooler, perfect fitment and looks sick.


1 Cyl Rebored, Reringed and Re Honed motor from ER (Long story short the last shop that supposedly built it gapped the rings too wide and one of the cylinders was not bored enough) Ill let you figure out the shop name)


Tyler thanks again it looks great.


Of course my Good condition barely used AMS/Exeddy push style triple ended up having a bad seal on the Through out bearing hindering my ability to get the car done before leaving.


On The Road

Texas is a great area for Evos. Make sure you contact NTEC, they organize most of the events in the North, including most of the fun trips. EvoD is the shop to go to in the area. Think English Racing run by Mechanical Engineers and former Formula SAE guys.

NP sir it was awesome meeting you and having a chance to work on your car.

Thanks everyone, I plan on joining NTEC and thanks for the suggestion on EvoD will prob have them do a little tuning for my new manifold.
Will be driving to Cheyenne, WY from Boise today. Will post some picks if I see anything interesting.
