j/k! thanks for the compliments. i would have to say the car setup was impressive. driver needs a lot of help. don't know when you saw me run but first part of the season i was just on h&r springs and stock everything else. later i did the jic's, cusco sway, and cusco upper strut (rear) bar. it wasn't just off the selve jic's either. i had the springs rates setup for autoxing. but i still wasn't completely happy with it. it still had too much body roll. speaking of body roll, you guys running stock suspension or even just lowering springs, you may not think the car has much body roll, but it does. i never noticed it driving the car but when i watched my co-driver last year out on course, you really could see the car lean like it was a crown vic (no offense to you vic owners
).anyway this time around i'm going even more aggressive on the spring rates but also gonna make the stock front bar adjustable. i was gonna do it last year but sold the car before i could. i would replace it with a cusco bar but the install doesn't look too fun plus i just want it a little stiffer. i'm also gonna tweak a few other things. hope it all works!
as for the alignment rack, yep i have one and i use it all the time.

jakey poo, depends how late i'm here tonight (yes i'm here working on the pos) will depend on when i wake up and want to do your car. regardless it will get done tomorrow. just not sure how early.

OK Ray, I'll hear from you then...then, and yes, the car has a TON of body roll stock, crown vic smrown vic, more like Maserati and BMW body roll, shoulda seen those things at JGTC, it was BAD (and not the good kind either) I think the Maserati was actually on 2 wheels at one point...
Anyone like to waste space? lol, I second the snow thing and third it being that it's less scary driving my Evo in the snow than my mom's monstrous GX470 Lexus SUV with traction control and a billion other things...the Evo is just too cool, though...I still hate the stupid Brembos when they're cold...shoulda gotten Ferodos instead of having the dealership do them...damn me and not getting on Evom sooner!

I would definitly be interested in going to NV on March. I just hope I don't have military drill(Marines) that weekend. About a week ago I took her(Evo) from Phoenix to SLC through the Grand Canyon. Wow the best drive I've Ever been on.
UT Evo- the exhaust I'm getting is an Espelir

Zach, your car will lope plenty when you get your injectors.
Ray, the last event I was at was the wendover solo2. I don't know how long you'd had the car at that point, I just know that you were right behind the vettes that were dominating that event.
I'm just looking to get a little more aggressive turn in on the car. I'd like it to steer a little quicker as well, but I'm pretty ignorant when it come to suspension tuning. I recently installed the first set of coilovers i've ever had on a car, so I don't have a lot of experience with suspension adjustment. Hence my asking.

btw, jacob, i'm still here. prob. gonna be for another 2 hours. damn interior! but i usually never sleep in so i'm sure it'll be around 11 or 12. you better be up. last time i called you around 3 you were still in bed. slacker!
I'll definitly be up, i have plans with a friend around 12:30-1, so I was already planning on getting up at 10ish to get ready and come help you, so just give me a call or my dad, or...well yeah, you get the idea, when you're up and ready for me. Did you ever find out if the stereo needed that code or not?
