What I like most:
- A solid safe powerful tune I never have to worry about
- Finally have a minimal suspension setup w/o understeer! No off-power oversteer; ever.
- The grip of Hoosiers...tasty

What I've learned:
- If restricted by mods, build your car around your tires and maximize corner speed. Evo's have to fly through the corners to turn good laps.
- If your car has understeer; you might have a bad suspension setup.
- Evo IX 4th gear is way too f'in short

Future Plans - where to start... It really depends main group I want to run with next year as I've already learned you can't build a car for both NASA and Redline!
- Shep tranny rebuild with updated gearing
- TRE Rear Diff mod
- Shed another 200 lbs
- More Gauges inclusing wideband
- Modify fenders for 275+ tires
- rear diffuser for aero
- AMS wet sump oil pan (be safe in the corners)
- AMS fuel surge tank (run on empty!)
- cams?
- FP Red bolt on?
- AMS 2.3l stroker?
- AMS 750R Turbo?

the only pictures i have are of when we got the shell to build the car from. i'll make a build page in the next week or so as we get started. first event for a shake down test of the car is september 26th, and NASA event the week after.
all the parts not listed as this winter are sitting on the shelf waiting for a moment to actually put it on the car. the motor is at the machine shop, and the head just got back from being flowbenched.

dude you're in for a TREAT. they are the bomb!
