Anyone in Knoxville have an aftermarket O2 housing they want to sell? Was planning on just replacing th O2 sensor, but it may not come out without removing the O2 housing. Figured I may as well get rid of the stock one if it has to come out.

 

hey bud I ran into the same problem when I replaced my full exhaust. I still through codes so take your time buy brand new from lancershop.com they have a wide variety of parts to help find the right sensors you need for your exhaust. hope this helps man goodluck

 

Thanks. Was hoping to just replace the sensor, but no luck getting the original out. I'll probably get a new O2 housing and go at it when it gets here.

 

I'll have one available when the roomie fabs up my new exhaust/dump tube.

Still need to source a turbo though.

 

Thanks, but got a maperformance one on a few days ago. Was a pain, but made it work. Just did my first car track day today at Barber. Friggin' blast!

 

Part 1.... Why was it a pain? MAP was or the install? MAP has always been awesome to me!
Part 2... You ran barber??? man you need to let us know. How was it? I'd LOVE to do that. I just don't have time to keep up with the schedule! or know where to look! Please please please update this thread when you reg for track days. I'd love to join!!

 

Map's housing and their service was awesome. Just having never removed the stock housing before it was a chore. Looks like if you are changing out the turbo while you're at it would be no big deal. But getting to the 5 bolts holding it to the turbo manifold was pretty difficult.

Yeah Barber is awesome! I've probably got 2k miles there on bikes. A guy I AX with posted on Facebook a while back about a NASA discount going on so I signed up. Have always been hesitant about doing a day with the Evo since it's my only car. Figured what the heck, today was great! Only got 3 sessions today, scheduled for 5 tomorrow. I'll remember to post up here next time! Thinking about a CMP and VIR day this year also.

 

looking for a good reputable trusted tuner in our area. I want my car tuned and willing to drive down to the tuner. If anyone has info please PM me.

 

Man I'd love love love to hit barber. How'd the 5 sessions go? I have done the go cart track at VIR, it's awesome!! Hoping to get some track time this summer, we shall see.

Fastech is the only one I know of in Knoxville. Do you absolutely need to have someone local?

 

That Sunday went awesome! Felt very comfortable wth the car at higher speeds, which is what I was hoping to learn since I've only done AX. Wish I had my lap timer with me. Richard in his NSX was running about a 1:45. We're closely matched in AX, but he has a lot of track time. I'd like to think I was 1:50ish. Fastest I've ever done on a bike there is 1:41. Brakes got so hot the Brembo sticker burned off the front brakes and the color (anodizing?) burned off the lugnuts. I had to bleed the fronts that weekend. I'd definitely do some kind of cooling for the front brakes if I were to do more trackdays.

 

I have no experience with local tuners. If you end up wanting a remote tune at some point, I can highly recommend Pure Drive Performance.

 

no it doesn't have to be local but local would be nice. Its just I wanted to drive down to the tuner to get the car tuned, planning on changing the fuel injectors and don't really wanna drive it un-tuned or maybe I shouldn't drive it period. LOL
Just want a good experienced tuner that can help me with what I wanna do.

 

Damn! I'd think for sure you could take an NSX, I bet you were closer than that! Crazy about the brakes though. I have seen carbon ducts for the IXs just can't remember where I saw those.

 

A little AX action yesterday.

 

now that you posted the pic of you car I remember talking to you at fastech about your car. I drove the black evo 9 MR.
I don't mind getting a remote tune but im gonna need some help with it since im really new to all this. PM me with some info if you can pleaAse.

They just built a new gas station like 5 miles from my house, has E85 fuel so im really wanting to tune my car for e85 plus all the small bolts on I got on it.
