Hey everyone. I've got some extra 3m carbon fiber wrap that I'm willing to sell. I have gloss black and dry carbon. I also can wrap anything you want. Hit me up if you guys want anything!
Well it depends on what time we meet up at the gas station in Gastonia. I'm pretty sure some of my friends are going so will should all meet up at concord mills then head to Gastonia from there. We'll figure a time out when the day gets closer.

Check out this recent crash of an Evo at Pikes Peak...unbelievably the injuries to drive and passenger were minor, only one broken leg I think:

This story is definitely getting some attention, check out this Autoblog piece:

Amazingly, the Evo's turbocharged engine, along with the transmission and transfer case, survived the carnage to die another day.

Sounds like a good time and spot to me.
Anyone meeting up tonight? Never been to a cci meet up or clt meetup. Let me know. I like the HIS idea. I went by there a few weeks ago on a busoness trip to asheville. Nice place they have set up.
In Davidson right and now....

HIS Motorsports Dyno Day: Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 10:00am
It's time again for another Dyno Day and car meet! We had a CRAZY turnout last time around and hope to do the same this time. We need all of your comments and suggestions to make sure we provide you guys with the best time and best service!
3 Pulls includes HP/TQ, Air/Fuel, and Boost logs. Price is $40 and spots get filled up fast!
To help with parking we will ask that everyone who is just coming to watch and look at the nice rides to help us in either parking at Napa or Synthetics that way we can keep all the cars that are dynoing or showing in the main parking lot.
Our correct address is 2245 US HWY 70 SW, Hickory, NC 28602.
We are in Long View beside Subaru and the Battery King!

Any X owners looking at getting an SSP underpanel? I'm thinking if there are 2 or 3 of us we could combine shipping...

It was a nice turnout at the dyno day, there were several other Evo drivers including EvoJoeRacing, ityn, and mx4life85.
My IX RS is basically stock and only has a K&N drop in filter and tune by Kasey from 4 years ago. Today on the HIS Dyno jet I put down 292hp/280tq to the wheels. A/F was nice and linear in the high 11s. Very happy with the results and the fact that Kasey's tune from years ago is still solid.
