ALL utah evo owners should attend the next autocross its on monday September 4th and you can register through bridgette at utahscca.com in the solo II section of the forums. get a number then show up at the event and have a good time. it sucks being the only evo that ever attends...

 

LOL, you ought to come over and see it all torn apart this weekend, hopefully i'll be putting it back together, pending a local vendor get's my parts in this week

I'm getting excited thinking that it may only be a matter of another week until I can drive it again!!!


















Disclaimer: the affore mentioned vendor has been nothing but great to work with, that was a sarcastic inside joke not meant to be taken seriously by the vendor or anyone who may read this pose

 

You really have some issues rob. I will watch my cornhole around you :P

P.S a little bird told me mitsubishi is delivering tomorrow. Now I can only hope it is true

 

SWEEET!! Although you want a big piece of my man meet, I will forgive your gayness today simply because you are the bearer of good news!!!

 

BTW for anyone interested. Rob is coming down to buy a bumper sticker that says "Cowboy's butts drive me nuts" We had to special order it because we normally don't sell that stuff.

 

Woot!! In the house!!!

 

Why'n't you come out on the 8th and 9th of September for the racing the Evo is made for? Autocross is fun, for sure... but nothing beats some real track time.

Either that, or you can work a double shift for me and run pick up cones for most of the day and I'll come out That, and I have normal work from 9 untill 1 on Monday anyway, yes, I work Labor Day.

 

Isn't the track day on the 8-9 limited to drivers with experience? I have been itching to hit one all summer, esp after I had to cancel in July.

 

Yeah, I'll be working labor day as well. They don't seem to celebrate labor day in Hyderabad.

Steering wheel: I ordered the Momo 78 in 330mm.
Exhaust: I'm having a custom single exhaust with no cat and a very free flowing muffler made

Are you sure the new Cobalt pads are not available? I like the Cobalts the best. I bought Hawk Blues in July because the Cobalts were switching to the new compound. They're okay, though not nearly the bite or feel of the Cobalts.

Are any of your 710s still okay? We should keep some in storage that are not too badly hammered for emergency replacements.

Auto-x? Great way to prep for the track. Once you get the Evo on track though ... you'll never be interested in working all day long for those 40 to 80 sec of driving through cones in a parking lot.

 

If there's space, Friday is half day of being instructed Jeremy... I think its supposed to be "intermed." so that you can be alone after the first two sessions, but other than that...

They are out of stock because of the compound switch... I can order the weaker compound ones I suppose, but they might be switching those as well for all I know (the website doesn't say anything)

I think 2 of my 710s are decent enough to use for emergency replacements

 

I'm really kinda glad you're representing the EVOs.

Unfortunately, when I did a SCCA event a few years ago, ... I was pleasantly "unimpressed" with the SLC SCCA group. This was reaffirmed by the MMP update at the Delta Center last year by the then current Utah SCCA pres. 'not' being able to make up his freekin' mind on where to park my car. Apparently my black, waxxed, and polished EVO is really not supposed to go between a Lotus Elise, and a Nissan 240Z. For as much hassle it is to drive down to SLC to do an event, I've gotten 10x more fun and enjoyment with the USBA riders.

What was even more icing on the cake was the National SCCA Prez. or PR guy up there on stage at the MMP event basically spouts off all the magazine support his organization gets, and he didn't mention Grassroots Motorsports!!? I was like WTF!? Turbo Mag. gets better props. than GRM!? GRM posts actual times of SCCA events! Give credit where credit is due! As you can imagine my SCCA membership went unrenewed this last year.

Otherwise, have things gotten more personable within the Utah SCCA Chapter? FWIW, I've heard rave reviews of the SCCAers that are up in Pocatello. How are things up there?

I have found the UT guys/girls, at the few events I have made this year, to be very friendly. Maybe not as nice as the EISCC in Pocatello, but then again that is my club and I find them to be a great group of people.

 

Was just up in slc getting my suspension installed
Thanks to Matt at evotuner.com for all my parts & Vesko for the install. I'm just waiting on a few more parts then a ecureflash hopefully all done by thursday or will have to be early next week going on vacation this weekend.

Here is a few pics, I'm looking for a m3 lip anyone know where I can find one?

 

Jake, e-mailed Dave to see if I could get in on the September track day, but it looks like they are full now. I will try and do the Saturday in October as soon as registration opens.

 

i wish i had the money to attend a track day but all i have the money for as of now is autocross so thats what i'll do
