Is there an Evo forum for Austin, TX?
Easy now I saw the drama going on in the south central texas evo meet thread. 
But seriously there must be somthing in the air, because it's even bad on the longhorn forum, they had to post a new personal attack rule over there. Maybe everybody just needs to sing a couple of lines of Kumbaya(sp?) and drink a beer.

Austin has the worst car scene in Texas. The closest Texas / Austin specific forum that you will find evos on is TRS, but it's a joke. As previously mentioned, we don't have a population of evos that really necessitates it's own forum. Years ago there was a Houston based evo forum, but it died out. 80% of the threads in the south region are from Texas though. If anything, there should be a Texas section...
It's hard to tell if you are joking Louie or if you just don't understand the english language
. How can you rag on somone trying to save money when you decided to go with a discounted "new" turbo kit instead of something proven that costs more?
No one in Austin has an evo that comes close to other cities (myself included). Hell, the fastest evo here just upgraded to a 35r when AMS and everyone else was running them in 2004. Has anyone really put up the cash to make a fast evo in Austin?
The thing that I find the most interesting evo wise in Austin is that some people have the cars and just drive them. For example, the EB VIII that parks in the speedway garage. The owner has a "animal lover" plate and has removed the passenger seat so that their dog can travel with them. The interior is COVERED in yellow dog hair. It's weird to see an evo being used like an economy car.

Hey big D is the your evo almost up and running? Its been awhile but we have a little bit of everything now not just evo's which I think it makes everything alittle more fun. So you coming out this saturday 
I agree that we could be better but alot of the other evos and sti's dont know where we are at I didnt know till abner found me. I keep spotting a GG evo 2ww evos and 2 LBevos oh and 1 black sti but I dont know who they are and a grey evo 8 that a girl drives.

Austin may not have the greatest car scene, but the potential is there, I don't know it just seems kinda like we all stick to our own i.e. evo's w/ evo's honda's w/ honda's, and of course it's always supra's w/ supra's. If we got somthing worth while organized I imagine the turnout would be pretty good. I think Dallas would be a pretty good model to follow, they seem to have there **** pretty straight up there.
I'd agree that the cars here in SA/Austin and Texas in general don't really compare with what's out there in say California and other places that actually have a cemented "scene".
Then again, we don't have to worry about our cars getting impounded and crushed just for sitting on the sidelines when 2 guys streak by in Honda ****boxes.
I knew Austin was liberal, but c'mon guys--don't get your panties in a bunch! We all own Evo's....can't we all just get along?!

You know I'd be out there if I didn't have to work every damn saturday night, this whole work thing is cutting in to my rec time!
But seriously I'm close to being operational, if I knew what the hell I was doing w/ all these sensors and vacuum hoses it would be finished by now.
Hopefully I'll be getting a job with the Austin fire dept next year, more time off and more $.
Wow........very intelligent and mature of you Ben. Hey, you do not have to use the world wide web to hide your insecurities.......you and I can always meet up this Saturday at the street meet on hwy 620 and IH35 right behind Mcdonalds or TC or even Pluckers. We can have a good constructive conversation without all the drama.
Hopefully you'll come by so, I an check out your uber fast Evo and you can check out my discounted mods on my Evo 9
MZM tune sure why not.......you can pay for my tune and I can pay for your tune, but I'm not too sure MZM would want to tune your Evo 8 I am very conifdent MZM can tune my Evo 9 or any other Evo's out there and they do have the fastest Evo in town. That there alone should tell you that MZM can tune and know what they are doing. Man, it is pretty evident you'r still hating on MZM and its been like 3 to 4 years,.......just let it go for the love of god!

Austin has its share of performance enthusiasts and cars, but most don't come out (for good reason). I think the best meets i've been to were during the hurricane evacuation in 2005. A bunch of Houston people came to town and the DS meet was hopping. Good times.Are you a member of Afb or ls1tech by any chance?

Too easy.
Also too easy.
Trust me, there have been plenty of meets with different kinds of cars. The Austin evos just go and hangout with eachother.
