Rob, I never got that option when I got tuned. Is that something we can do easily or I should've got that during my tune?

If you are using an accessport you can throw it into valet mode... If I remember correctly it sets the rev limiter at 5k max, etc. however the catch is, if you are running injectors etc, you are going to have to adjust your wgdc values etc... So a special tune would be a must unless you are savy

Cause I did mention to her about the stock suspension ride comfort with the leather seats and heater which made her say YES to getting the Evo haha. ^_^... (oh and the safety air bags, 5 star crash rating, baby friendly, all wheel.... features..) bahahahahahaha.

Rob made me think twice these past two days, twice! Sensei, you make sensen.
I have personally bagged 2 of my own vehicles and a few others people's... But the thought of doing an evo would never cross my mind... Being on air is awesome for shows, but honestly if you aren't planning to do the show scene then I would stay static. Plus, I'm not sure your girl will like the compressor noise if you go coilovers just buy something with lower spring rate and valving if you want to run softer... But it's an evo... So I would explain to her that yes it is stiff for a reason... And that reason is an excuse for a once a month couples massage... Tada... End of conversation

My ride quality is crap! But its because im so low. Just get a decent set. Stance gr+ is good and the fortune auto ones are good too....just dont drop too far

as far as the safety inspection goes... where would be the best/less hassle place to get it done? otherwise i'd just be taking it to any gas station and hope they don't be too picky and strict.

other than that, when and where is the next meet? i'll be there if i can find the place.
Got you covered on inspec. Check ur pms

Alright homies, I just purchased an Evo 8 today.

I need help really bad.
From what ive been told, I need a tune. Right now Its idling pretty rough and running rich. I feel like im driving a monster struck.

I dont know much at all about boosted cars, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
From what Flo told me is that I may have aftermarket cams, I need a tune, new spark plugs and good cleaning.

Kid, remember the X is a pig weight wise versus the 8/9! Read reviews on an X before you look into buying a specific brand...

Read post 6 here
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...stance-gr.html

The gr+ pro have a helper spring which will help in comfort... Unfortunately, I am on HKS hipermaxIII sport and they are far from soft.. But fortune auto may work for you... You need to just check around for reviews. Decide what's important... If its riding soft and not low, I would stay with what you have and spend the cash elsewhere
