omg. that would suck so bad if they did.... wow.

 

Hi guys,

I am in the market for a project car and the Evo sounds very interesting to me due to the relative low cost to make LOTS of hp. My goal is to build a car that can keep up with my friends modified sports cars. They drive supercharged ZO6s, Vipers and single turbo Supras. Is this a reasonable goal and still have a reliable car? I will primarily use the car for track events and roll ons with my buddies.

I would like to check out some of your cars when you guys meet at In N Out on Thursdays. Is there an official time you meet? How long do the meets last? How many Evos generally show up? Also, are there quite a few modified ones?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to meeting you guys.

 

Yeah, I found one on here for $300 rim/tire shipped. I'm just hoping the guy will separate the set. Keep your fingers crossed!


Oh ok, that's the one that was at the last Midnight Mayhem, right? My hubby was there and told me there was a black on running. How come Courtesy has/had his car? What's wrong with it? Sorry, if I'm being nosey!



Oh yeah....we stopped by People's a little while ago. We were gonna see if Ashley (the guy that works in service who also owns an Evo) was working and have him take a look and make sure nothing else got f'd up when I hit the rock. Well, he no longer works there Damn! Wonder what happend cuz my hubby asked about it and they wouldn't say a word. Hmm???

 

yeah he was at last midnight mayhem. he just got a test pipe and downpipe, and i htink he put the wires on the test pipe wrong or something. im not sure, but he blew the wires or fuses or something, so the now has it.

 

Cerberus, Sure, come out to the meet. We are all modded to some degree, but nothing major. Not very impressive compared to Viper's power if that's what you are used to.

As for an Evo keeping up with a modded Z06, Viper, I don't know. It's only a 2.0 liter. There are a few Evos running low 11s (still street legal) and one 9 sec Evo but fully race built. You are looking at 7 to over 10K in mods to get low 11 seconds and even then a Z06 is still close and still has the top end on the highway. The Evo is a good sprint car and track handler.

If you are a good driver, a moderatley modded Evo will hang with Z06s and Vipers at the road course tracks. If you are into dragging and straight line speed, look into the 04 SVT Cobra. A few mods will net you over 400 WHP easily and low 11s and it can take drag racing unlike the AWD Evo. The Evo's clutch is weak and even a stronger clutch will eventually take its toll on the transfer case and tranny. You can pick up a used Z06 for almost the price of a new Evo.

Point is, you have to really know how to drive the Evo to get the most out of it. You will run 14s at the strip where others car run low 13s with the same car but know how to drive. You could granny shift the Vette and still run 12s and low 13s.

 

those mutherf'er took my car for 25 miles of "testing" .anyways,some with the wires to the ecu or something.i have it on paper.plus them gave me a shi tty car wash that had water spots everywhere .only at mitsu i guess

 

25 miles?!!?!? damn dude that sucks

 

Ya, and if something breaks it will still be "customer" abuse. Bastards.

 

Now I see why you said nowhere in the thread I started. That is bull sh*i. I may have to cancel my appointment with them to get new rotors.

 

F ucking c ocksuckers. Kill them mutherfu ckers. You should raise hell about it. Say the clutch is slipping now. Anyways haven't been on because I moved. Official homeowner bishes. I couldn't jump on the trunk and wing. Oh well. I'm on call this week so won't see yous thursday.

 

I saw an Evolution VIII on Nellis AFB, who is it?

 

some pictures from the cali meet this weekend. Something,like 150 evos.

Just a reminder: MEET is tomorow. 8:00 @ the in n out on sahara and the I-15... bring the evos
