BTW autox was epic today. Craziest course i have ever driven @ 1.2 miles long
Mmmm autoxing..that's what I so need to get into. I'm sorry, 1/4 mile is fun and all, but I have a car with fun handling, I need to use it.

Hmmm...so should I sell my Hallman or.......lol

I wonder how high of a boost curve we can get with the stock BCS? I guess we'll see, huh Billy boy? haha

Ya we will..or will not. Between you and Turco..I'm sure we can get the most out of this car, well the least possible....for now of course. Hopefully I'll be ordering the Zeitronix set up soon, after that, I gotta start saving for an exhaust. This quietness is killing me. I already started researching exhausts, so many to choose from. I do know I am keeping the dual tip, but a small part of me is digging the ones with the titanium tips, just becuase of the color of the car.
Well I suppose I should get off my a$$, and get off EvoM now, and get ready..I'll see ya in a few...

Bill when you say Zeitronix setup.. Are you referring to the Z-chip? If you are, that is designed to be run with a manual boost controller. Maybe you are talking about something else.

I assume thats not what you are talking about since you are talking about getting tuned..

Nah, he means the basic wideband with the boost/AFR 52mm gauge. After using Innovate, Zeitronix is like a tuners heaven.

Just got back from Marshalls car show. Good times even though we showed up fashionably late *coughjamiecough*

It was cool seeing alot of people I have not seen in a while, and got to finally meet some people that I have either talked to, or done business with, including that Amish guy that came with Paul J/K Kenny..

And Marshall, thanks for having us. I really hope this event helped, and best wishes again to you and your family! I so can't wait to see some pics posted up.

Oh Turco, check out the newest VDR, it has all of the Drag CoEfficients and Frontal Area data entered for the Evo 7,8,9, and 10's now. Also, some NEDSM member from Mass wanted to come down this weekend for me to tune their Evo IX but I'm swamped with projects this weekend so I sent them your way for some extra loot if you have the time
I love ECU controlled boot, it will allow for faster boost ramp and holds boost longer up top. The stock mitsu solenoids are terrible though, i have to read up on what people are doing and if people are using GM 3-port

Nope, the renaissance garage is taller so the shot would be better however this shot was from the columbus garage. The renaissance was filled with move-in people and the columbus lot was about to be closed so I snuck in for a bit before they closed up for the night. When school begins and things settle I'll try the renaissance garage out.

Hans and Franz - here to pump you up.


I need to rotate my tires bad. My front centers are worn on the outside part of the inner tread blocks.
