Does anyone have a front lip and/or undertray for an Evo IX they'd be willing to sell me?

good or bad idea to drive my car down to Vegas in a few weeks? Built motor, runs sweet though! Never taken a car like this on such a long trip.

Ok I fixed my backwards BOV and now it seems that my Evo dose not "pull" as hard anymore. It seems like its down on power. Any Ideas? Also it has a quiet Phssssss instead of the
WHOOSH!!!!!!! that it has when it was backwards. (I do miss the LOUD noise)

I drove my Personal Evo back from Baltimore MD to Utah with out any issues 2,250 miles in 2 day That was a fun trip by myself

Just make sure your fluids are good and check them when ever you stop to get gas.

Vegas is a not that far so don't be a baby

Best part of the whole drive is through the gorge I had a lot of fun through their last time I drove to and from Vegas in my M3 for MFest last year.

Upstate NY to the middle of nowhere NM, car ran like a champ. Even with the current work done, a Vegas trip is no issue

Does anyone have a roof rack on their Evo 8/9? I probably need a rack and then the huge storage for my cross country trek. Details of any kind are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Wow! That's 34.6 hours of driving if you stick to the 65MPH speed limit.

Did you just install a caffeine IV?

That will be fun drive as well and only issue may be the heat in July.

Do you run water wetter in your car by chance? It really does help quite a bit in the heat

I have thought about getting a roof rack form my car for trips, but just haven't manned up and bought one yet

I think I had about 31~ hours of driving and 65mph speed limit I thought it was 80mph cruising and then 120mph on the straights haha JK

Ya that was an adventure all by myself for sure

I honestly don't know how I made that trip all by myself and in as short of time as I did it in. Driving through the night and about 9 hours of sleep in those 2 days

No caffeine drinks as caffeine seems to do the opposite to me and may me more tired Lots of Juice, water and candy bars though
