Thanks Dallin, what do you drive?

I guess I'm just used to being around some pretty heavily modified cars, so compared to those mine is mostly stock. I was originally a dsm guy (guess I still am) and we've built some pretty serious cars. The Evo runs decent, but it just feels slow by comparison. If I had to guess, I'd estimate it to be between 330 and 350whp.

I have a couple of older pictures, but I swapped wheels last weekend and haven't gotten any good pictures since then.

Winter setup



Old summer setup



Hopefully those post right.

I've had it for about two and a half years now. And yes, that's my thinking exactly. It is my DD, so I'd rather have something slow and reliable than fast and always broken lol. I'm looking at getting a new DD too. I've had the urge to buy something RWD lately.

That's a cool little car, I bet that thing's fun to drive. I've always had a thing for BMWs, but when I finally had the means to buy something like that, the Evo was higher on my list

What are you looking at for a new daily?

No plans yet, although I've been thinking about picking up an accessport even though its only stock. I kind of want to sell the accessport from my Si first though

Im trying to get a caravan like the first two years in a row to roll from up north layton area down to the meet.

Same place as always. Meet at the Kmart parking lot before 10am we roll out no later than 1015. Anyone who thinks they may be late call or text me to let me know because we were late last year to the UtahPACE meet and got mega shafted on parking spots. So show time is like 9am. Time enough to run across the street and clean up the car real quick, grab a bite to eat and/or fill up at the 7eleven across the street.

Number is eight 0 three- five 6 five- nine 6 five five

I started out with BMW's I have always had a thing for them I think I have owned 6 now This one is probably been the funnest and my favorite so far and the plans I have for it will make it even better

I have owned 3 Evos and I plan on another one very soon hopefully as well.

Possibly another Evo as the New Daily or to share the daily driving duties of the M3

Congrats on the new car I have toyed with the idea of buying a co-workers Evo X but I think I want something a bit cheaper for now or until I get into a house first

Ha that's awesome. A modified M3 would be a lot of fun. A lot of money too lol.

I'm no expert on AccessPort, but I am pretty familiar with EcuFlash/EvoScan. It seems like for the money, it might be a better idea to invest in a Tactrix cable and EcuFlash/EvoScan (or find someone that already has the cables and software). From what I know about AccessPort, EcuFlash is a waaaayyyyy more capable engine management system, although it is less user friendly.

Do you know much about tuning?

Ufortunately not much. Probably more than your average Joe that drives their ricer around (no hate I've got a civic ) but I'm definitely not fully competent in the world of tuning.
