^ I'm hoping i can get to the track next weekend if weather cooperates. I'm painting the interior this whole week after i pick up the car so im sure ill have enough time before the weekend it just comes down to weather. Ill keep everyone updated this week, plus with pics of the car complete with cage and shute!

I do have a question for you though.. I noticed on the STM 6766 kit their graph shows the turbo spooling around 4-5k but yours is 5-6k. Is that due to maybe a larger hotside, tuning or the FF manifold? Just curious.. Either way I'm still going with the 6766!

Good luck shooting for 8s man and keep it up!
The STM car was running a Skunk 2 manifold compared to Joey’s AMS F1. The Skunk 2 manifold would make for better spool, along with the fact that Joey’s car was dynoed in 3rd compared to STM's pulls in 4th.

LOL same here man, im getting anxious to get the car back from the chassis shop. I was watching some videos last night and made me want to get to the track ASAP! Car will be back to me mid this week then interior and cage painting begins. Im hoping the weather is decent next weekend to make it to the track. If not, the following weekend 100 percent i will be there ready to roll!

The painting might have to hold off for a little bit so i can get to the track lol Will see how things go, it shouldnt take that long to do the interior. I just want it to come out nice and not looking all jacked up. Ill keep everyone updated this week with pics and what not. Ill be sure to let everyone know the first track day

Some can say i dont need an interior but the car will still have most of the interior. Headliner, carpeting, panels etc. I will be driving this car on the street a lot this year. To me its race car/street car

You need to do this at least once just to say you did it To me, that's one of the coolest things about the Evo- it doesn't have to be a trailer queen in order to run amazing times. That's not true for a lot of cars.

I plan to do it sometime this year Last year i drove the car on the street all the time. One night I even drove it all the way down to downtown Chicago for a cruise and the car was perfectly fine. Sometime this year, ill try to make it happen. Byron and GLD are about 1 hour and 20 minutes away from me. But thats towing the car, im sure i can make it faster driving there.
