The-Moss, the turn I was talking about was 1-2 at Cal-Speedway. It is a high bank turn but non the less, most cars are lifting at entry. I have vids on my FB. Add me as a friend and check em out. mmueller1@live.com

Anyone here do any sort of underbody rustproofing for winter on their car? Is it worth it, or should I just get some spray cans and do it myself?

I don't think you need to worry about the underside of the car.... the problem areas on an EVO are where the paint chips or where there were holes drilled such as the read deck where the wing mounts.

I think before I would put undercoating on the car I would get some mud flaps to prevent sand and salt blasting damage.

For what its worth I have a 2002 Jeep with 130k miles on it. I aim for every snowbank and monster slush puddle I can find ..... its nearly 9 years old now and there isn't a single problem area on the truck. Odds are by the time any damage will be done that car will be ancient history.

^ 2 words, mud flaps!

they save not only your car, but the people behind you.

I bought a set of Rally Armor mud flaps earlier this summer, so it sounds like I should be all set for some snow fun! I have noticed a worrying amount of rust starting at the base of the wing. Anyone know a good paint shop that can fix that and redo the clear coat on the top of the wing?

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound...like this forum?

I have a set of Blizzaks that came with the car when I bought it last year. Still searching for a set of cheap-o 18" wheels though! Anybody looking to offload a set for under $500?

^ I ordered some MB Weapons here:

$550 shipped for (4) 18X8ET30s. The gunmetal are on order, but the bronze are in stock. The Drags in white for the same price would look good on a white Evo too.. they're 35 offset.
