Let me know if there is anything else you want translated. I can make ebonics sound good.

Well I figured out what the problem was with my alky kit. From yapping with people throughout the day I missed hooking up the low level light ground. Steve from SMC e-mailed me back within minutes with the solution, and better yet he is sending me a bigger injector for my baby turbo thats coming. Great company. If you ever decide on going with an alky kit get the SMC.

I was out playing around this morning for a little while before it was too cold outside. I have my boost set at 29psi, I thought my 25psi pull past Nez the other day was fun. I want to see what it would have been like at 29...

No problem. Now all I need is warmer weather and a non leaking IC, that should be a much cleaner pull. I also need a heavier spring for the BOV since the 7lb spring in there now wont take a long pull at that pressure.

Just found this while surfing the web. It's probably not new to you guys but who knows. It's so wild to watch our cars in "wagon format" drive around the track. You see it head on and think, "oh there's a regular evo" and then it turns sideways by the camera and you see this elongated body. Pretty cool vid for those who have not seen it already.

Umm so yea, my car is ****ed. Anyone have a really good body shop guy?

Something happened while getting the fuel tank put back in. The area above it (directly below the rear seats) is pushed up 6". Yea... 6". It looks like it domed up. The trunk looks fine, the rear cross bars seem a bit bent and the area in front of the tank looks fine too. Imagine a baloon blown up under the tank and you can imagine what it looks like.

Haven't been able to talk to my fabricator yet to find out what happened. I REALLY REALLY hope it can be pounded out, but I have a feeling things are going to need to be cut and replaced Sucks.........

Needless to say, no more going to him for fabrication. I really hope this can get worked out.

6"? That seems like an awful lot. Throw a pic up and Ill take one tomorrow of mine to see how much of a difference there is.

6", good lord, did he lift the car with a jack in that spot? I would assume it would take a bit of effort to make it balloon up/out that much.
