true true....especially now that I know how close it is to the shop...

 

You will hook like a **** out there...pray something doesn't snap!

 

I have learned my lessons from dumping the clutch....a little slippage goes a long way!

 

Yeah...I think your axles are your weakest link at this point though. But...several people running 8s on stock axles...so you might be ok.

 

I sure hope so!!!

Does anybody know if the Lancer that crashed in Valley Center (passenger killed) was an EVO?

 

Anyone here on E85, drive up to Santa Monica to Conserv Fuel, which is the only station that sell E85 west of Downtown. I'm traveling up to Santa Barbara over the weekend and this will be the first road trip on E85. Mapquest shows about 132 miles to this station, shouldn't be a problem, just curious if anyone here as done this trip so far.

 

nope it was a base lancer...

it was a good friend of mine passenger died... RIP Jason

and my friend scott who was driving is in ciritcal condition with a broken back scull fractures and broken ribs...

he is in a medicaly indusced coma... i hope he pulls thru... but even if he does his chances of not being a vegtable are very low...

drive safe guys

and please pray for Scott

 

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes to Scott and his family.

 

First off i would just like to say that my heart goes out to the people that were in that car and their families and I hope that the driver pulls through.

Second im from MN, and im in San Diego until Sunday...I was wondering if there is going to be any events or shows or anything going on this weekend...im actually in little italy...ive seen one black evo drive by the condo but i didnt get a look from the front i think it was an 8...anyway if any of you guys are around a couple of us would be interested in checkin out some of the rigs! have a good and thanks guys!

 

Just to let those who are interested. I made the trip up to Santa Barbara on E85, with no problems. From SD (Pearson fuel) straight up to Conserv Fuel in Santa Monica, I went thru half a tank, this was drive out of boost. From Santa Monica to Santa Barbara and back to Santa Monica (Conserv Fuel) I went thru 3/4 of a tank and this was out of boost. Cutting it close, but if your light on the throttle, it's not a problem. If you plan on riping it up on the coast to Santa Barbara, I would bring a five gallon jug, just in case.

 

Andrea and I will be looking to sell our Evo within the next few months. Do any of you know of anyone looking for an Evo IX SE?

 

Are you going to be parting out any of those goodies? Putting it back to stock and on 91oct would be your best bet.

 

We could possibly do that...with the exception of the cams, springs and retainers. It wouldn't be cost effective to pay the labor to have those swapped out. If we put it back to being close to stock as possible, I'd have to find somebody interested in the aftermarket parts and has the OEM parts because I don't have any of the OEM parts (except the OEM ECU). If I put it back to stock, with the exception of the cams, I will need to have it tuned on the OEM ECU to account for the cams.
