a little update - i was at ncm on sun and the car pushed - a LOT. it felt ok when cold but got very pushy pretty much the rest of the day, and a buddy of mine in a very similar evo said he felt the same. NCM has some really tight turns that the Evo/I struggled in. I swapped the rear sway bar to the middle setting for the afternoon and that helped with the turn-in. The car also felt kind of off in the afternoon and started making a clunk on startup (I have the clutch thing pulled so no clutch to start).
as I started making my way home in the Evo (sequoia was still in the shop for timing chain tensioners at this point) this happened (driver's rear):
which effectively stranded me in KY at 5pm on Easter Sunday, lol. I had checked it prior to leaving the site because I refilled all the tires to normal pressures but along the way suddenly heard a flapping noise as I was driving.
Luckily my buddy was there in his Evo and swapped wheels with me so I could drive home. Upon inspection, it turns out I had an EGR line pop off resulting in a boost leak and the rear trans mount was loosening causing the clunk. The tires were toast so I'll be sticker fresh for the event with Gridlife at NCM. The car also had a large amount of toe in on that side in the rear (5/16s) so that has also been handled. We'll see if the car feels any better in a couple weeks.

not sure what that means.
between driving the car up and down and the event itself i got lucky. someone offered me their spare e85 but i passed because i wanted to get home. can't imagine if this happened out on track

The tread is ...gone lol. He literally wore them out. I was thinking the same or the fender cutting/rubbing until I looked for the Falken tread patterns lol. THIS is why you use dedicated track wheels/tires loaded in the back seat!
