I drive mine in the winter -- i only have the one car. I found a set of heavily used stock wheels, slapped some Blizzaks on them and done.

I just noticed I missed like a month of updates -- anyone else no longer receiving email updates on this post???

Yeah it looks like I might be driving mine too if I don't get my *** in gear and replace the DSM oil pump ASAP.


Invoice, did you do the drop in pistons and rods or did you have Buschur do that for you? I was just wondering if anyone bothers cleaning up the bores or if they literally drop them right in and file fit the rings.

Buschur did the work. They pulled the oil pan and checked the bearings first before they decided if they were going to do it. And it also depends on the number of miles you have if they will do it or not. This is what Jarrod did to his car also.

Man was that your black Evo at the Shell station? That thing looks seriously badass. I had to take the Rabbit out for gas and some Panerra for me.

So I have the parts to fix the DSM now, hopefully I can work on it this week. We got a house under contract in Anderson off Nagel so I need to wrap up all my car stuff and get ready for the big move. No more 5 car garage.

I have the Rabbit for sale and the DSM so whichever one doesn't sell will get to stick around for a little while longer. So if any of you guys know anyone retarded enough to want either one of those headaches send them my way.

Yeah, that was me. I was just grabbing some subway on my lunch break. Thanks!

I might know some people that would like to take a look at your rabbit. I will get back to you if they're interested.

How often do you drive your evo through clifton? I think a couple of my friends have mentioned an Evo that sounds like yours. I work on Reading(clifton) so if you ever happen to see me give me a shout. I'd like to meet some more fellow Evo owners.

I drive it nearly every day, I live in Clifton. It is a silver wingless 8 with bronze Volks.

Paul, the asking price is $6k. That's what I have in it. It is a damn fun car to drive. Sounds like a race car with that huge cam in it.

Uhh no.


Sorry Paul I'm just not into those things. I'll trade it for anything worth more than $6k so I can sell it for $6k immediately, but that's about it.

My wife will not be a happy camper if we have no furniture to fill the new house and more cars than I can fit in the garage and driveway.
