Damn Dave!! You could have just put a small brake kit on the front and done it by now! You could have saved yourself alot of money on the Dog box and everything. Just put the damn small brakes on, get a 15" wheel w/ a real slick, blow 8 seconds face off, put your regular brakes back on, and enjoy.

Just to think about it.... if you were going to put a dogbox in the car, whats wrong with a small brake kit? The dog box makes it much more of a racecar then the small brake kit would IMO. I would rather change a set of brakes before I change a trans any day. Just my .02....

^i agree with lillev23, how about you trade off the dog box for some small brakes and proper tires.
DOGBOX=drag car
Small Brakes=8 sec street car
you can do this Dave the people want to see it.

I say good job Dave!! A 9 sec Street Car is respectable; although I would love to see the Bad Bish do an 8 sec pass. Are you planing on staying with the current engine set up for autox? Whatever direction you go I'm sure that it will be an interesting read.

I think I just would have rather spent the cash on a small brake kit before I bought a dogbox. Way more tire options. You say that fathouse, but it seems like there are more and more people DD small brake kits (myself for one). I've never heard of anyone DD a dogbox whether you have the $$ to or not. Just doesn't make sense to me to put that badass of a trans in a street car. A well-built synchro trans will do just fine in a street car.

A proper built synchro box will only last so long on a big big power high rpm car that gets beat on. The synchros can only take so much shifting fast at 9k+ It don't matter who puts it together.

Wow I am really sorry to hear this Mr. Buschur. 
I know we don't know each other but you single handly have been my main inspiration on how to build my own Evo 8. I have a ton of stuff in my shopping cart that I have yet to purchase off of your website. lol. My car is pretty much getting built this coming winter/spring just in time for the summer. I was never really a "drag" type of person but I have always been curious on how it will do. This is really sad to hear, and a sad day in EVO history as well 
, but I hope whatever plans you have for the car now I hope it works well for you. Good luck to you Mr. Buschur!

wow! Sorry to hear your day of non-stop bad luck. It is nice however to see a guy who is willing to let something go and move on. Yea a drag only car is sweet, and going 8s is insane, but most of the people who own an evo wouldnt dare take a saw-all and start cutting things up. Taking a $50+ Evo and making a trailer queen still kills me. It still amazes me that you have full street trim looking like the day it came off the showroom floor. Complete down to the radio delete. We are all very thankful for everything that you guys do, and will continue to do for the Evo community.
And whatever you do with the "bad Bish", we will all support and continue to support one of the best american made shops!!!!!
btw, 9.0 on a full interior car, is nothing to be upset with. Thats still absolutly crazy!!! Nevermind the fact you can drive it to the gas station to fill up.
Quick question for you tho, How the hell do you guys get away with running without a cage? Jersey tech inspectors will chase you down and give you a warning at 11.5 to watch it!!
