Utah Evos
I totally didn't see them, I woulda waved had I known it was you Nate 
I tried going slow to see if you had stickers, but didn't want to go too slow, wouldn't want to give the wrong idea if you were one of the Evo guys that aren't on here.
Now just include tips cuz I never carry cash, and we're set! It still doesn't include interiors though right?

That's where I went slow pass the car. I think you'd have noticed me.
My day so last night didy, myself and my cousin decide to stop working on the car. My cuz says just drive my pathfinder to work n buckle evo up after work. So I park his ride half of grass half on sidewalk and well in the morning it's gone wtf mother ****ers towed it! Then I get stung by a wasp before leaving the house, so my grandparents went and picked up my cuz ride & dropped it off to me $150 later, **** just had lunch the ***** forgot about my food for like 20min...o sorry here's a coupon for $5 off next time...next time ***** **** your $5 and next time...next time I'm eating somewhere else **** off so far I'm still managing to smile and laugh about it...just one of those days I guess

Aww come on Jake, it's only $25 a month. You come everyday, you won't know the difference between the job you do and the job someone else does, trust me! lol We wash $250,000 Maserati's including DWills and thousands of cars 5 times the value of any Subie or Evo and their paint ain't complaining. lol I realise the lower qualtiy paint jobs on these Subies and Evos aren't gonna hold up as well to the auto tunnell washes, but i wash my Evo like a madman and it's got the equivalent of a $200 MAACO special and I'm pretty sure I have one of the cleanest Evos around.
Perhaps it was Criddlen?
Damn bro, I feel ur pain. Here's a
I had one of those days today, as well.

my cuz chris' ride was towed right out from of the house...stupid complex can kiss my ***. grandparents said thats the nail in the coffin they're putting up for sale sign..which they've been wanting to do anyway they bought the place before they went on mission so they'd have something to come back home to and that was march.
Damn weather is looking kinda hectic outside...this will be interesting

Just lost half of my tree out front of the house 
Same with my neighbors too Plus I have leaves everywhere so going to be doing some cleaning up tomorrow probably 
Super windy down here. Interestingly enough the hatchback design seems to serve its purpose, I barely felt the wind, even when it was at my side.
Probably wasn't you then, I looked specifically at that spot That's where I went slow pass the car. I think you'd have noticed me.

I actually wish more well behaved Subie people would come in here, NASIOC is cool and all, but most of the crowd is a little... odd, and SLCSubaru is most of them too, and iwsti is fairly empty as far as regional stuff goes. You should rep some UtahEvos stickers on your car so I'm not the only one! Haha.
Wind, Thats what the huge spoilers for

I have not hit a TT yet, but I am out at the track at most events there. I would love to hit up Coffee and Cars but Saturday is a busy day for my retail shop so it could be awhile before that happens.
Sounds like I may need to reference you, and your post to TwoFour for the stickers?

I didnt replace my lifters or anything but now that I know that I wish I had just to be safe. I am however using non synthetic since most people recommend it when breaking in a new motor in general, but after a few hundred more miles im gonna switch back to full synthetic now that I have about 1500 miles on the motor and about 300 on the cams and springs etc.
Kelford Cams Flat Tappet Camshaft Break-in Procedure
Kelford Cams Flat Tappet Camshaft Break-in Procedure
Prior to installation:
Check the compatibility of the camshaft with the remainder of the valve train components, particularly the valve springs.
On high load spring applications you will need to use lighter load springs, or alternatively remove the inner spring (for dual spring applications) just for break-in.
Due to the mandate for zinc removal from most motor oils, proper flat tappet camshaft break-in procedure has become more critical than ever before. This is true for both hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet camshafts.
The most critical time in the life of a flat tappet camshaft is the first 20 minutes of break in, during which time the bottoms of the tappets mate-in with the cam lobes.
There are some oils with additive packages that are better for camshaft "break-in".
Do not use API rated "SL" or "SM" oil.
CAUTION: We do not recommend the use of most synthetic oils for "break-in".
Prior to installing the camshaft and lifters, it is recommended that the crankcase be drained and filled with new, clean oil, as aforementioned. The oil filter should also be changed at this time. Proper flat tappet camshaft break-in starts with the cam installation and includes the following steps:
Before installing the camshaft and lifters you must wash them thoroughly in clean mineral spirits to remove the rust preventative that is placed on the cam prior to shipping. NOTE: As a "rule of thumb", always thoroughly clean any part before installing it in an engine. Never "assume" that the parts are cleaned before packaging.
WARNING: NEW LIFTERS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH YOUR NEW CAMSHAFT
Installation Procedure
DO NOT "pump-up" hydraulic lifters before use. This can cause the lifters to hold a valve open during engine cranking, resulting in low compression. The low compression will delay engine start-up and is very detrimental to proper camshaft "break-in".
With the supplied moly paste lube, coat the bottom of the lifters, cam lobes and distributor gear.
Set your valve lash or lifter preload. Try to minimize the number of times that you rotate the engine, as this can displace the moly paste from the lobes and lifters.
If possible prime the oiling system. When priming, rotate the engine at least one complete revolution to assure oil gets to all valve train components.
Valve covers should be off to assure that all rockers are oiling.
Preset the ignition timing to start the engine at a fast idle. It is important that the static ignition timing is as close as possible and if the engine has a carburetor, it should be filled with fuel. The engine needs to start quickly without excessive cranking to insure immediate lubrication to the cam lobes.
Start the engine and immediately bring to 2,500 rpm. Timing should be adjusted, as closely as possible, to reduce excessive heat or load during break-in. Get the engine running fairly smoothly and vary the engine speed from 1500-3000 RPM in a slow acceleration/deceleration cycle. During this time, be sure to check for any leaks and check out any unusual noises. If something doesn't sound right, shut the engine off and check out the source of the noise. Upon restart, resume the high idle speed cycling. Continue the varying "break-in" speed for 20 - 30 minutes. This is necessary to provide proper lifter rotation to properly mate each lifter to its lobe. Should the engine need to be shut down for any reason, upon re-start it should be immediately brought back to 3000 rpm and the break-in continued for a total run time of 20 - 30 minutes.
Let the engine cool, and then drain the crankcase and properly dispose of the oil and oil filter. Refill the crankcase with premium oil. At this point the initial "break in" is complete. You can drive the vehicle in your normal manner. We recommend changing the oil and filter after 1,000 kms.
Additional Information
Spring Pressures: For extended camshaft life, flat-tappet cams should not be run with more than the recommended open valve spring pressure. Racing applications will often need to run more spring pressure at the expense of reduced camshaft life. In order to "break-in" a camshaft with high open pressures, the inner springs should be removed to reduce "break-in" load. The inner springs can then be reinstalled after initial "break-in" is complete.
Lifter Rotation: Flat tappet cams (both hydraulic and mechanical) have the lobes ground on a slight taper and the lifter appears to sit offset from the lobe centerline. This will induce a rotation of the lifter on the lobe. This rotation draws oil to the mating surface between the lifter and the lobe. If it is possible to view the pushrods during "break-in", they should be spinning as an indication that the lifter is spinning. If you don t see a pushrod spinning, immediately stop the engine and find the cause.
Never use old flat tappet lifters on a new cam. On flat tappet cams, the lobes and lifter bottoms mate together and if the lifters are removed from the engine, they must go back on the same lobe from which they were removed. Kelford Cams recommends the use of high quality tappets to prevent premature cam or lifter wear. This is the reason that we prefer to sell you a cam and lifter kit, this way you know that you are buying a ‘matched set' and risk of failure during break in is greatly reduced
my cuz chris' ride was towed right out from of the house...stupid complex can kiss my ***. grandparents said thats the nail in the coffin they're putting up for sale sign..which they've been wanting to do anyway they bought the place before they went on mission so they'd have something to come back home to and that was march.

I ran non synthetic for about 900-1000 then switched back to Mobile 1, I never worry about break in on the head though, really its all the same hard or not. Most important is that our lifters need 10W30 oil. Knock bad vroom vroom good

No, you don't, I just need to clarify that they are free and no vendor account is needed so that Utah Evos doesn't get in trouble again.
