Jason, dude, im the lucky one. hell ever since i met ya that day man i knew there was going to be some crazy car plans coming out of the two of our heads. the awesome friendship was a major bonus.

Weston, all i have to do is finish her up and then get it all dialed in. as far as suspension goes she is setup for autocrossing so its a bit harsh for everyday use but man does it change directions well. brakes, those should be good considering they were pieced together to be able to haul a 5000lb car down from speed quickly, tires...dont know yet. i would love to end up with a set of Gram Light 57 Optimise with some R888's on em or i could get away with the stock evo 8 wheels i have with some Hankook RS2's again. those tires were great. but we all know power will be there. it will be there in abundance!

 

whadduya say Jason, enough room for your famous airbox idea?

 

Holy s#!t! That's even better than i thought it would be. I would like to move your battery to the trunk so i can use all that space.

 

well that might be worth it..... jk not at all

hey dick I am a hottie duh

Merry christmas wes

and MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!!

 

Merry Christmas to all UtahEVOS! And everybody who posts on here!

 

Merry Christmas indeed!

And BJ: The car is looking sick! If you plan on running street class don't get the R888s, their treadwear is too low. (Must be over 140).

 

So on my Way to the air port I was going up Redwood Road about 4:45 heading north and saw a GG Evo 9 I think MR since it looked like it had BBS wheels. He was getting gas at a gas station. Was that anyone on here? If I wasn't passing by fast I would have Yelled "Nice EVO" But I didnt have time lol. I wish I had a Clean mostly stock 9

 

BJ that motor looks clean enough to give birth on.

 

Merry xmas!!!!....I win

 

Merry christmas!

 

Merry Christmas Utah!!!!

 

awesome thanks for the advice. now i can start looking for different tires. i really like the way the Star Specs held up once they got sticky and never had an issue with them giving up under heavy load. but the hankook rs-2's i had were a better/cheaper tire i hear. the only thing i didnt like about the rs-2's was that they did give up if pushed too hard. it took them about two good hot laps to get them warm whereas the Star Specs seemed to warm up much faster and had a more crisp turn in. i do remember reading about the hankook's sidewalls sucking.

lol thanks jeff, i plan to keep it that way, even on race day!

 

oh i guess i could've said MERRY CHRISTMAS first. lol. hope everyone at least got one thing they all wanted.

 

I haven't looked at tires in forever, especially not good ones that aren't hardcore R-comps. I've heard tons of great things about the new Kuhmo XSes, and I'm probably going to try those out for summer tires. The RA-1s were the best R-comps we ever used, but we didn't try that many before switching to full slicks. Just don't ever get the V710s if you're doing track days...

 

I want my son to be born on that engine!
