Hey Bullfrg, you in Twin Falls too?

 

wes dont be lame and share

 

Yeah. Don't have an Evo anymore but I am here. I have a Legacy GT wagon that is silver. I see your car all the time.

 

Cool. I think I have seen your car too. You don't see many of those around.

 

No they are pretty rare especially with a 5 speed. Finished a bunch of projects on it this weekend now has a new suspension, short shifter, and blacked out grill. Should make it a little more distinct. Still need some new wheels though

 

pics?

 

So are you bringing that down to Summerfast, or sticking with the RS? If you need a place to stay, let me know. I'm already housing Gordon's STI for a few days, the more the merrier.

PS - I'm in Pocatello and have a red GSR X for those that don't know me. I get to watch Timmay lay down fast laps in auto-x on a regular basis. It's a thing of beauty. Here's a couple pictures to jog your memory if you recognize the car from Jerome, IF, or Poky.

 

you have beat me a few times so dont play off like you dont lay down the law out there lol

i see 2 other idaho evo owners in that pic!

 

Yea, we are watching the X handle business!
We need some sticky tires! Haha

 

Btw there are 4 evos in that pic!

 

Thanks for the offer Jim, but I will be missing Summerfast this year. The RS has a clutch issue after the Highland event and I do not want to risk it stranding me. Could have brought the wagon but tires are horrible.

 

Here is what I have at the moment, need to get some better pics:

I have done a couple of small upgrades in the last few weeks including a set of WRX pedals with a matching dead pedal. I also purchased a few parts that I needed to find some time to install: Koni struts, Rallitek rear swaybar, Rallitek springs, and a Kartboy short throw shifter.

Last night I found a little time and got the shifter installed. Love it! Much better shifting then stock with no real disadvantages. Tried out a couple of different shift knobs (kartboy and chaotic garage) but ended up back with the Momo one the car came with.

Today I found the time to get the struts and springs on. Went very well, compared to others I have read. I did use a few tricks that I found in some other posts which made my life easier. Only driven a few miles but I do like it. Seems like a great suspension for a daily driver. It is not overly stiff or harsh and the springs lower it just about right, imoh.









Bad pic of it lowered, needs clean and I will shoot some more:



Today I also eliminated the chrome from the front grill. A little sandpaper, some primer and some satin black paint should give it a nice look without having to go aftermarket.
I will try and get some pics up in the next few days.

Checking in.... HOLLA

See you all d-town, lol

 

haha i remember when i was boise, only 4-5 evos.. edwin, tony, my neighbor and me

 

Times of changed. The prices of Evo's have come down dramatically (reason for buying mine).

Do you still live in Idaho, or in Arizona?
