Im thinking about switching to E85 as I realized there is about 3 gas stations that carry it here, gain some more power out of it and run 91 on road trips.

Beatrush rear tow hook, powder coated candy red by Specialized Performance Coating. Now I hope I never need it! I know my car is dirty, I am not trying to win any awards for a clean car!

Thanks, it was much easier and affordable than the rear OEM bumper tow hook solution. That one is like several hundred, this one was like $130 w/custom paint. The front one is next however, and there is no way around that one...JDM crash beam, JDM air guides, and a 3rd party threaded hook....But since you cannot get to a lowered Evo X's stock front hooks, it is easier than seeing your front fascia get ripped to **** when they tow you by your front wheels!

Just came of a very spirited run on e85 on curves and straights. Did shoot a video, will post it later on... I LOVE MY E85 TUNE. I do understand my baby is obnoxiously loud but for some reason there is massive rattle as well as the loudness on my 91 tune but just regular loudness on e85. I gotta get my 91 calibrated I guess.
Even on e85 not even close to 400 but hey thats only for another 1-3 months
Will be putting down 400 on 91 after the crap Im getting haha.

I like my new... Dump o2 downpipe with a broken bracket that holds the dump pipe to the downpipe! Extra noisy, extra loudness haha.
Its getting all fixed though, michael@ets is hooking me up whenever I have the time to have the dp taken out sent out... Basically wont have a car for 2 weeks so right now I am trying to get a schedule set so I wont be "carless".

TURBO LAMP
so i am currently on terminal leave from the army.. soon to be full retired from military service... so what do bored retirees do???? we make stuff... so here is my latest creation!!!!! So i hit up Dad's garage and......
first here it is..... an old turbo for a SAAB that i acquired...
so after cleaning and disassembling.....
Then I got an old piece of wood and cut sanded and lacquered the heck out of it... ( i wish i had taken before pics of the block so you could see all the work that i put into it)...
Then reassembly.. a little wiring... drilling.. mounting... and WHAM!!!
A FREAKING TURBO LAMP FOR MY MAN CAVE!!!!!
the propeller on the exhaust side still spins inside... the impeller is mounted on the front and spins if you flick it.. the waste gate still works.. AWESOME!!! (if i say so myself)....
so what do yall think??
... more car related furniture to come.. im inspired!!
