He|| no! It's fun taking the Evo throguh the car wash in winter - water sprays all over the manifold and makes a big steam cloud!
And you get to smell the hot wax burn.

Sounds good. I haven't run the car since the cams. My clutch is on death row, I'm not soo sure it will make it to Shawano.

I still don't know what clutch to go with. I'm dreading yanking the tranny on the floor of my garage too. Otherwise I would have done the damn thing already.

Ok, here is some of the pics of my tires now, cause I'm bored so I went home and took some pics. I ran these for 2 seasons now, and they look about the same as the new set that I have on the side. As you all know that, I don't know the concept of being gentle to my tires, so after 2 seasons and they still look like this, it's damn good tire. And they performed really well on wet, snow, and dry pavement also.






So these tires have seen 2 years of wisconsin winters, 1 winter autocross, lots of parking lot driving. Oh yeah, couple times in GLD , but I wasn't driving. Did 12.6 with these tires that's like a year or 2 ago.

Less rubber being held back by that nasty sticky glue.

How does the 16th work for me trying them out? I'll just pick them up on the 15th in the evening and give them back the evening of the 16th.
