EVO IX MR hotness Autocross/Track build
Good thread!
How does the weight of the APR brace compare to stock?
Also noticed it looks like you are using the hard line for the bov. I think you'll get better bov response by removing the hard line and running a line straight to the intake. I think you want as big of a line as practical, the small hard line restricts flow.

It'll be going to speed density soon so I'm not concerned. I've bought everything to make the switch already. My setup is very responsive and making great power. But thanks for the advice
I'm not sure what the difference is. I can weigh it one day and see but it's pretty light being solid aluminum versus steel tubing.

Catch can should be finished at driven fabrications this weekend.
Powder coater has all my parts now and should have them back later this week!
One of my fittings came so far and my new samco hoses, since im ditching my red ones because they will clash with the new color im going with.
Spent about $180 on fittings and hose for the new catch can setup.
This will give my crank case some breathing! so much pressure.
Rear differential will be coming out today and going to TRE on Monday for the Max-Lock treatment! woot!!!
about 2-3 more weeks until the built 5 speed swap arrives.
Things are coming together I'm excited

a little shavings in the tranny fluid...

Evo X rotors

Where in Eastern Indiana are you? Would love to get a ride in this, as I am considering a similar setup! Also, do the Evo X brakes offer much of an advantage for Auto-X? I can understand road racing since they are bigger = more mass, but wasn't sure. Great looking build/setup.
P.S. your buddy sell those quick release bumper attachments? PM if you got any info.

EvoX brakes would be worse for autocross, I'm just doing less autocross and more road course now. Just much more fun.
The bumper latches themselves are sold on summit racing. I can make you some of the brackets.
you will love that rear diff, my only complaint is slight binding at low speed ie under 10mph on hard turns(parking, u turns) it sounds like welded diff. i am using redline shockproof though.
