Well, the cars are getting cheap enough that high school kids can afford them now.

Yep, sitting there in pieces with beer bottles all over it. Unfortunately, now that I have started it, my spare time is about to go into the toilet.

I don't think the motors are very different either.

I will be out there on Sunday shredding it up It would be nice to see more Evo's come out to these. I think there are only 3 of us that regularly go out. Tom with his Black Evo 9 that can drive, Randy with the Gray Evo X MR and myself. I bet both of them will be out both days. I would if I didn't have work to do tomorrow
I would like to come out next time! I'm in st. George this weekend. I have a ralliart tho haha baby evo!

Is anybody free to do an EGR and Evap install? I am in the process of moving, and have nowhere to work on it.

Take it (and some friends) to Knuckle Basher's in SLC.


On another note, it's that time of year for me: My first emissions inspection. Can anyone recommend an Import-friendly inspection shop? Someone that won't freak out if they see a catch can?

I'm in Utah County.

Just moved here from Oahu was rolling around with Hawaii plates for about a month. Wondering if anyone can fill me in on how bad they are about the tinting laws out here. And of there is any possibility of passing inspection with tints out of regs I got another car I gotta get passed.

Welcome! I see your in the Draper area. I work in Draper and live in Herriman.

Tinting laws here kinda suck. Rears and back can be as dark as you like. Front must allow at least 43% light in.

More info found from this link

http://tintlaws.com/utah-window-tint-law.php

I unfortunately don't have any recommendations on getting an inspection done somewhere that would over look this... They have really been cracking down on tint, catalytic converters and a few other things around the valley lately with these shops

My name is Dallin by the way

Anyone know of a local machine shop that can port and polish a head? My friend got quoted by Brad Jepson for $1200 that includes a full race port, valve job with new valve guide's and re-decked. Seems really expensive.

Also is it required to get a head re-decked if it has been removed to do a head gasket? This guy seems fishy. Thanks fellas.

Shop that I had do my block work for me was Clegg's Machine in Orem and a head specialist I have heard good things from is Fast Lane also in Orem. Maybe reach out to both of them and see.

The head does not NEED to be re-decked, but isn't a bad idea. You can have it checked out by the machine shop to see if its warped at all. If you are going for bigger power or want the best seal possible then having both the head and block re-decked would be in your best interest to make sure both surfaces are true.

I'm pretty new to the area and just picked up an Evo X, are there any reliable tuners in the SLC or Ogden areas?

You should get on our local Facebook group Utah Evo X's. Its a closed group, but if you want to PM me your name I can get you added. We have a good X tuner I can recommend locally.
