Whats Vishnu up to?

The forums have been dead for a while. No Tales from the Dyno, new product updates, or clips from Monte Carlo ( )

Just checkin' in

I'm bummed I didn't stop by the shop when I was down in Cali the other week. Was in Sunnyvale visiting NetApp (DECRU training) and noticed I was only about 40 miles from the shop~!

Hi guys,
The rest of the boys are doing what they do best-- supporting our customers and products! I, on the other hand, flew into LA this morning to pick up our new Evo IX, courtesy of our friends at Mitsubishi I'll be driving back up north tomorrow with a pit stop in Santa Barbara for some business meetings. Back to work on Friday where I'll be installing and tuning two EVO IX Xedes (stage 1 and stage 2 cars).

As for our new car, it's going to become the first green flexi-fuel fuel time attack car (that I'm aware of, at least). In one xede map (competition map), it will run on E85 Ethanol and Nitrous. On the other map, it will be able to run on regular pump gas. Pro drivers Graham Rahal and Paul Gerrard will be steering. More info on this later

Cheers,
shiv
