Why is it that an overbearing number of Tools and Douchebags buy Evos? Damnit. When I bought mine, it was predominantly *******s such as myself, where have all the *******s gone?

Do I need to sell this thing before I get sucked into the douchevortex?

Dang Kenny....what the H happened? Run into a total evo tool..lol...that Spec post was well a bit tmi Hard to tell these days if stuff like this is real or what. I know **** happens and while I have heard that they have gone thru some of this Rivet failures before it had been a Very long while since the last incident. I'm good with mine so far, so good. But you know Evo drivetrains...they go boom whenever they want to. Kinda like life on the edge..thrilling to say the least.
Hey New Guy with the GGMR....you need to come check us out, hang oiut with the other Bham guys. If you ever need anything in the way of Evo...EPM can be there for yas, we do it all and then some.

Hope all of you guys are staying warm on this wet cold day. When is SUMMER going to get here? Not soon enough for this winter hater !

I've heard this second hand now from a couple of people. I really tried to go out of my way to not point fingers, but provide meaningful dialog. What part(s) were TMI? you can pm me or call me if you don't want to 'air anything out'

Isolated failures are one thing... bad stuff makes it past QC for everyone from time to time, and that's something we all have to live with.

As far as tools and feminine hygiene products, I can assure you that THAT had nothing to do with SPEC or any SPEC employees.

eff... I'm either getting my exedy rebuilt or selling my kit and getting a push-converted competition clutch.

after that... well... anyone looking for a built evo? I'm really kicking around selling this thing and returning to my roots after I get it back together.
