Hello Evo Utah.
I just picked up my first 05' evo VIII MR.
Does anyone know of a good shop here in Utah where I can get it tuned and such?

Munoa Performance In Orem Ficker Flash does the Tuning and they have a Dyno too. Or maybe Cobb in up in SLC.

Same feeling here. I went to the Stripper, that I think is the other place he said he'd recommend, though it looked like the specialized in furniture stripping so I'm not sure... I'll have to call Ray or stop by sometime and ask where else he recommends. If it is the place I stopped by, they're next to some Porshce parts store I've never seen or heard of before Kinda cool that I found that anyway, I'll have to stop in and see if they sell the ski racks for cheaper.

Welcome! And yeah, Ficker Flash at Munoa Performance is your best bet, and your best bang for the buck, especially since it'll save you gas on a trip all the way up to COBB

My wife and I just went up to Trappers Loop, the road was closed. I have other canyon roads in mind, if it doesn't open in time.

Cool, it's here if you need it.
I just remebered something, try your timer settings on the right side T1 and T2) see if you can adjust the time up and down.

Rollbars/cages, harness bars, chassis bracing, & whatever.

The Evo IV (Evolution VIGSR) is Dallin, one of the blue wingless could have been Evan(evo domination) if he took his spoiler off again and other could have been Chuck (chuckbyu)? That is if he took off his spoiler too?

So I bought an exhaust manifold off another member of the forums and I called that soda blaster to find out how much he thought it would cost to clean it up: $100.00! Then we got to talking about evo's and he told me about how he owned one and had nothing but problems

Taking it to schmidt paint for a $25.00 sand blasting.

I'm going to try to make it to the BBQ just to rub elbows with all you hotshots! Thankfully "mustache march" will be over so I can shave this ridiculous thing and get back to looking normal. Everyone looks over at me in the car and immediately starts laughing, I can't tell if its the spoiler or my cop mustache + aviators. Either way, its good stuff but I'm ready to ditch it. Anyone else grow a ridiculous mustache for no reason other than its "mustache march?"

Welcome to this most totally awesomest thread on the forum. Some people call it off-topic, I call it religion! Congrats on your car. I live in Provo, so I'll keep my eye-***** on the look out for you! Oh yeah, and +1 on eficker at Munoa Performance for a tune. If you pm him, he'll give you the details.

If one of the blue ones was bby with evo VII tails, that was probably me. I was out whoring around, naked, with the 'ol lady all day. I didn't see you, bummer. There is another one I see from time to time, but he has emblems and I think he is electric blue.

"Double baco cheeseburger, it's for a cop." Keep teh 'stache! I want to see it. That is so groovy! Next March, we should all grow them and have a photoshoot!
