Dave you def always seem to (how do i want to say it..) re invent yourself.. I hope to see you get that 8 sec pass. This new long rod block seems to have huge benefits... Im considering this new block for spring next year.. Im very happy with my car with the buschur parts on it.. I cant say I ever had a buschur part fail on me or fall a part.. Thanks and keep coming up with the innovation!!!

From page one.
Every single piece of my heater system is in my car except for the hoses that go to the actual engine. I was going to replace the heater core, which is broken, last year but never got time, it's a full days job and real PITA to change the heater core in the EVO. Maybe this winter.
The N1's are the lightest suspension on the market for the EVO. The Swift springs make it even lighter. The valving isn't that bad actually. I had someone test them on a shock dyno and have the paper work from it all, the springs themselves had the most variance and looking back on it I wonder if that was factual or if it was the guy trying to sell me different springs. It's very hard to say. The suspension though has worked very good for me and a LOT of customers. I don't think it can be beat for the money, that's for sure.

As for the Apexi, it is more about the concern that parts to get them rebuilt/revalved aren't available from places other then Apexi. I'd love to get a set of coil-overs as light as the N1s, but with customized valving as their spring rates don't interest me at all. Closest thing to them seems to be Ohlins that come in around 40 pounds but can be rebuilt/revalved by LOTS of places. No doubt though, paying 3x as much makes it a little hard to pull the trigger on.

This has got to be my favorite Evo out there. Clean, not gutted, zero rice, fast as all hell.
I just bought one of your FF kits. Basically have been modeling my car after the bad bish. Hope you don't mind.
Good luck on your quest for 8's.
