after more than a year of flip flopping between bimmers and the evo i decided that when i come home from jersey im finally making my move on the evo....

oh and this might be the dummbest assumption EVER but is heel toe'in just rev-matching in a downshift? (eeeek thats probably so ****ing wrong, but o well)

 

new wallpaper!!!

I'll like my coffee like I like my women, bitter, unsweetened, black, and stinking of beans when freshly heated. FAIL!

LMFAO! Taken as religion! Thanks Wes!!!

Nice! Oh and I stripped my tint off my front windows, I FEEL ****ING NAKED!!! Utah tint law FTMFL!!! 43% front windows, no limit on rear windows. I had a highway patrolman test some different tint for me, he tested a 15% tint for me, even though you could clearly see into the vehicle, it was still illegal, WHAT A JOKE MONEY SUCK!

Gear head is a damn good friend of mine, he'll take damn good care of you!

I use my head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Then even sometimes my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!

Nice man! I'm actually workin on gettin rid of my wife's rx8 and gettin a 535i, then I'll have both excellent cars!

 

nice quotation's yo catching up sorry that picture is not better wallpaper quality thats taken from my celly phone

 

Thanks bud. I pm'd you.

 

I'm willing to bet 400 bucks it was him then, because it was a 9 SE w/ a passenger and it was at like 1:30ish on I-15. I've dealt with too many *******s from owning the Evo, its sad cuz I edit people like that out just because I always assume they want to race w/ all the dorks trying to race the Evo... When in reality with the Porsche its usually just ^ that type of situation. But I trained myself early on: Music loud, look straight ahead. He probably wasn't trying to race, if he knows Porsche he'd know that the Evo would be faster, unless we did a top gear roll from 40 Plus, he wasn't driving like an *******, just pulled up next to me. Most guys trying to race like to rev and pull forwards and backwards. Ask him if it had an "evo" related license plate, and then it would be me for sure, because I think I was past him long enough for him to notice.

Initial D and Forza 2 for learning how to drive FTMFW!

Evo ftw! (ps: Evan, a 535i is no safer than the RX8, unless you meant a 535xi)

Not a dumb assumption, that's exactly right, except heel-toeing is using your toe to brake and your heel to rev match And it isn't hard to do, its hard to do properly just like with most racing techniques. I drive around town looking like the biggest dork because all my driving habits come from racing: both hands on the wheel at 9 and 3, shifting with an open palm, heel-toeing at stoplights and corners, trailbraking on long sweepers (freeway ramps usually)... and its all just natural to me.

 

Not necessarirlrlrlily for the safety factor, but more cuz it's 4 doors, more comfy, not as cheaply made, oh, and it's a bimmer! Oh and the wifey likes the cool looking lights!

 

I remember someone had an evo 8 turbo for sale a while back.
If so is it still available?

 

I think my friend dan has a 10.5 hotside he had on car back in the day before he started hitting 9sec 1/4miles

I'll hit him up tomorrow

whats your email addy? I'll pass it along

 

Angel eyes ftmfw x2! Seriously my favorite thing about bimmers, that, and they're also German.

Wes, no posting at 1 am for you, you're supposed to be out partying or with some girl/s.

PS: It must just be the summer, I had some CTS Caddy trying to race me a few minutes ago on my way home from Coffee Connection.

PPS: Red evo, State Street by the Pontiac dealer like 4 times... you may have seen me with the 2 s2000s and the legacy gt, we were checkin out the G8s. This was around 10:30-11:00ish.

 

No one ever tries to race me! But then again i drive like a complete tw$t.

 

brake boosting hehe but I like my brakes

flat footshifting hehe when I wanna shift at revlimit and risk breaking stuff

I know I know yesterday was just mellow for me had my cuz & his wife over and my big bro with my nephew and my brother in law like a family affair yo I don't do something like that really often and it being mothers day today was kinda cool plus friday night in mesquite I think by the time we got home it might've been 4am? And well I was just ****ed up plus I've been only talking right now to one girl lol yes only one right now thats not really like me

 

Cool, if I can't find one local I may take you up on that.

 

Question for anyone and everyone. I'm going to sell the Xede Piggyback that's on the car right now. What's it worth? I dont' see too many sell on the forums or anywhere else. I know they were $800 new but it doesn't look like its a very popular device. What should I list it for realistically. Thanks.

 

so who was in the silvr evo i talked to last night in provo?

so before you learn'd or even practiced heel toe did the concept seem rather IMPOSSIBLE (actually not impossibly but extremely awkward and insanely hard to do right?) watching colin Mcrae dancing with the peddles (as jeremy clarkson says "river dancing" makes it seem tough!
