oh and i also plan on doing this all myself i have done 4 clutches on evos now and so i plan on taking it out and putting the tranny back in. i dont wanna pay someone to do a half *** job like the mechanic did on my gsx a while back.
A bit late but, I believe the old FP4R cams(I could be wrong) were just the Comp 280* grind. The newer version is more agressive & still ground by Comp. If I were going to re-cam my engine in its current state I would go with the new FP4R's or GSC S2 cams. Either one does wonders for the stock turbo.
So my car has been making a light thuding noise coming from the front right tire area also a slight bumpy feeling along with that. I took it in to the tire shop to check the alignment and to see if maybe I bent a rim on a pothole.
When they put it up on the lift the inside of the front tires were almost completely worn out while the outside on both still has a ton of tread left. Tomorrow they are putting on new tires and doing an alignment which will hopefully solve the problem.
I'm worried however that the same thing will happen to this set. Anyone have any idea what might be going on? The tire pressure has been a little low, but nothing too bad. Also when I bought the car a year ago I didn't check the tread on the inside so maybe it was a preexisting condition as I'm pretty sure the evo 9 didn't come with the 6 spoke einki rims that it has on it.

I need a new clutch!
This will be the second in two years. The first one was definatley due to me enjoying the new car n doing 4 wheel drifts all over ft. union.... bwahahahaha But the last one was an ACT Extreme w/ lightwieght fly and it didnt last for $hit.
Any suggestions on clutch? Considering i will hopefully be close to 400whp(IF I COULD QUIT BUYING CLUTCHES) mostly tracked n would like to occasionlly make a few passes at RMR....
n YES Cost it always an issue.

Up until last week, there was a super clean blue Evo VIII or IX parked in the same spot in the parking lot next to my office in Lindon.
This morning, I noticed the blue Evo was gone. Just now I stepped outside and there is a clean black Acura NSX with a 'Turbo Lab' sticker in the window parked exactly where the Evo was parked every day.
Did anyone here recently sell a Blue Evo and buy a black turbocharged NSX?

Guess what boys... I'm back in the game! 
Just traded in my 08 Bmw today for a 2008 Evo x gsr (white with 20k miles)
Now, If anyone has the big wing (with trunk) and wants to trade for my wingless with carbon fiber lip trunk, please let me know! (it has to be white)

man SEMA was a blast. Do any of you know or have seen a blue Evo X in utah county with CF trunk and i think RPF1s? i saw it the other day and it looks really good. just wondering who he is, i almost stopped to talk to him but didn't.
Thats the car that I want! White and Wingless 
I am sure you can fine someone that wants to trade. I would if I had one and with a wing.
been to many times of it not working out for me I am making it a PERSONAL GOAL to go next year. Ya I saw that one as well I think yesterday. I really liked it and it sounded like it may have a few mods other than exhaust
