Hey man, I've pm'd ya. I'm nearby, but not as knowledgable (yet) with evo's compared to hondas/acuras...


If you're looking for someone who actually knows something about evo's...i'd take it to excessive autosports here in sf. Joey previously owned an evo (modified), he could at least take a look at it to see if there's anything visually wrong...He's very experienced, from a 10 sec drag crx, to domestics and even muscle cars..

Has a dyno, but I don't think its for awd's.... Let me know if you need their number or web addy...

Wish you the best of luck with your situation...

theres a crusing area here ...but it sucks. LOTS of highschoolers and tourists... its usually a mix bag. half of me likes to do a round through and just see the faces ...the other half just wants to massacre every dumbass that revs at me. its both humorous AND annoying. i never stay long though, just not worth it.

id rather waste my gas out just driving various roads... and yah, i have mods. ive spent lots on this car. lol

make time to roll down to omaha at some point.

there are a couple of great evening car hangouts just a few blocks from my house. car shows every wednesday, thursday, and saturday nights(cruise ins).

if you are into this sort of thing, i even hear that there are (GASP!!) street races...

20 minutes south of town, in glenwood iowa is MAM(mid america motorplex). 1/8th mile track, run what ya brung most friday evenings. that place is a mad house.

anyways, what part of sux is that in the pic? i grew up in m'side, right by ehs.

I'm near Des Moines. Might have to have a midwest meet sometime to get everyone together. Do any of you guys ever make it out to MAM? I think it would be cool to get a big group together and rent the road course for the day...Just a thought.

Heh, you're kidding right?

You're gonna need to get over that if you ever want to run a road course...I've been to a few events that required long sleeve shirts.
