So I have a question for you guys, my car is breaking up real bad when I try to open her up. any thoughts on the problem. No boost leak, unlless its in one of those vacuum lines. I think it might be spark but am not sure. so what do ya think?

RotorPros Performance Plus Brake Rotors (Evo 8 & 9)
RotorPros Performance Plus Brake Rotors (Evo 8 & 9)
Why RotorPros?
These rotors offer maximum braking performance in applications with OEM rotor size and stock calipers. They are created from the highest quality (Centric) blanks to ensure the best heat dissipation and superior wet weather braking. The added air surface created by cross drilling, dimpling, and slotting will further increase the rotors ability to dissipate heat, cool your pads and discs, and protect against warping.
All Rotorpros rotors come with a one year limited warranty against defects!
The Technology
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is employed to determine the optimum pattern for any size and style rotor. This pattern is critical as it must correctly sweep the brake pads to increase initial bite and allow for out gassing while also cleaning the entire brake pad surface. The sweep will eliminate "Hot Spots" and maximize the brake pad friction to the rotor. In regards to drilling Rotorpros uses a "less drilling" philosophy to maximize cooling and reduce rotating weight while preserving the strength of the rotor to avoid cracking failures.
Rotor Options
Pattern
Blank RotorPros rotors make a great, low cost OEM replacement rotor. Those looking for increased performance over stock should select from cross drilling, cross dimpling, or slotting for maximum stopping power.
Zinc Plating
RotorPros rotors are available with an optional "deep" zinc plating that will protect your investment from corrosion and keep your rotors looking good. Standard zinc plating is silver in color, but can be combined with other color coatings for a customized look, please see below.
Color Options
RotorPros zinc plating can be combined with many different color coatings for those that are looking to add some form with their function. Available in complete coverage (please note that the brake pad friction area will turn silver after initial use) or hub only (see images below).
Important Notes
- This is for a complete set of 4 rotors. Pairs are available separately, please contact us for details.
- All RotorPros rotors are built to order, please allow 2-3 days for them to be shipped out.

New to the evomania. I met Jason (booster) today and told me all about the forums. Anyways I drive an evo 8, haven't done too much to it but the little i have done worked on an audi s4 tonight!!!
I need some performance parts used or new, just whatever you guys might have laying around let me know. I live in draper and will like to get to know other evo fans. Peace out

laterany codes? eva (my cars name) threw a code when she wanted new plugs, code went away after that. I never had any real issues getting on it tho. so i wouldn't think it would be a plug that's a problem unless it doesn't have a good connection or something like that.
If We could get a head count on how many Sets of rotors we need I can ask him and see what kind of deal we can get from him How many people are looking for front and what kinds....
and how many people are looking for rears and what kind...
How much are you looking to sell the puppies for? are they Pure bread ? My sister may want one 
I bought 4 small 2" tall ramps to get my car onto low ground clearance lifts 
you could probably stack 2 on top of each other but that would be pushing it tho
It is for real only 2" of ground clearance maybe a hair more New to the evomania. I met Jason (booster) today and told me all about the forums. Anyways I drive an evo 8, haven't done too much to it but the little i have done worked on an audi s4 tonight!!!

I have tones of crap lying around What are you looking for man? I am thinking of making it even lower since my Coilovers are not all the way down yet Ya I know I am Crazy
I raised it up about a inch if that after the shoot so I am maybe sitting at 3" of ground clearance right now. I can lower my car enough to pretty much put it at a 1" off the ground if I wanted too with these Coilovers 
Could be your egr vacuum line that popped off. follow underneath the tb where the valve is, check the line on the backside
Ya those pics are for the Day of the photo shoot I raised it up about a inch if that after the shoot so I am maybe sitting at 3" of ground clearance right now. I can lower my car enough to pretty much put it at a 1" off the ground if I wanted too with these Coilovers

does anyone know if you have to take off your rack and pinion in order to drop the motor? or would it be easier to lift it out from the top? any suggestions? anything would help... thanks guys.
I've done two of them. So why ya wanna pull your motor??O yea pull the hood off and lift it out works...we did both where we took the head off and slid the block out from under it. We took the head off to see what the damage was on my car & my friends motor as well.
