Congratulations, you've got a few toes on the very slippery slope.....
Mar 31, 2008, 11:23 AM
It is really about controlling the slope and it is really hard with these cars since they have mounds of possible mods. I really see myself coming to the end of the slope, at least calming down. I think the tune will put me in a great place. Maybe in the future some more serious mods but for now i am pretty much set with dumping more and more money. A few smart mods will bring you a long way though.

As for rocking out this week...I want to, badly! But, I've really got a lot of catch up to do on the bathroom and I think we're gonna go see another one of those hockey games tomorrow night (we went Sunday, too, and stayed for the whole thing).
I have a Bruins game Saturday, so I really need to capitalize on my free time this week. I may be up for hanging out Wednesday...prolly just staying home, though.
What's your schedule like this week? I kinda wanna rock out tonite but I know I shouldn't...

Where you, and I, are at now is where it gets dangerous... too many more mods and you've gotta be dumping hot loot on upgraded clutches and more invasive mods that require taking apart the motor. It's a blessing and a curse that the Evo is so damn bolt-on friendly.
You figure on a IX:
Exhaust, Boost Control (MBC or ECU), filter/intake, and tune, and you're gonna be pushing over 330 to the wheels, probably spending near $1000...pretty insane!

My next eventual big investment will be in a clutch so when the stocker goes i will be ready. I really want to do some top end stuff - port, springs, cams. I think there are a lot of nice gains to be hand from the top end.

It's $12 correct. Not sure if you are going to the tune day at DSG or working on the bathroom project you are tackling. If you go that day I can get them then, and pay you.

Yeah, they're $12. No rush on the $$$. Next time I see Paul, I will send them with him.
I won't be heading out too much for the next few weeks...I wanna get that bathroom taken care of.
It's now considerably more demolished than when I took this pic:
In fact, most of the floor is gone, all of the insulation is out, more of the ceiling is missing and all the plumbing was ripped out. I have finished the new plumbing, which is awesome, and I've gotta finish ripping down teh ceiling this week and wiring the lights/fan for the room. I also bought a sick overhead heater that needs some ducting and a dedicated circuit. Every chance I get, I go a little deeper in over my head!

Like I dunno... maybe we could rip up some ceiling together? Then rip up some "More than a feelin'"? Just a thought.
Marshall: Maybe I'll snap those up from you if you don't mind...I'll chk them out again. Also, i think I'll be down for taking a ride out to your dyno day. I'll happily snap pics for you. I don't think I'll put the car on the dyno, but you never know...
Hey, you know of any place that i can dispose of construction (read: destruction) waste? I think the town will take 1 carload/year but i still havent bought a dump sticker so i am not sure.
BTW: Anyone need a Kohler Neo-Angle toilet? It's almond and in decent condition...we went with the Devonshire.
