Whats EVERYONE up too? don't be shy

Hey um ya pretty bored just seeing what everyone out there is up to , as far as parts soon to buy and or looking for , if your thinking about selling the car, trying to get another one, thinking about getting into drag racing , autox?

I know danny got some parts i'll let him tell tell .

Jarek how you doing down in Austin right?

Aniel, julio, kelly, houston, ethan um pretty much any south region person whether i've met you or not.



and yes that was the longest run on sentence ever.


as for me im trying to ddecide whether to drop 5k or so on my car parts list:
cossi cams
snow performance st 2
780 injectors
act street and or exedy hd
koyo rad.
ebay ic/pipeing for less than 300
head studs

Im actually thinking about trading in my Evo for a BMW and then buying a BUILT Evo later. Insted of all my blood and money going into an Evo....buy one finished. Its really the way to go to save money....building cars is fun an all....but not fun enough to spend a ton of money. You can probably buy a 550+ WHP Evo for about 30K. All done and ready to murder the streets

Yes, you can, but the fun part is getting financed for it.

snow meth kit?

i would consider trying the aquamist kit and if you wanna see a few examples, there are quite a few running around DFW. myself included.

(and unless your buying those parts used, your gonna need way more then 5k to pick up everything on that list).





heres my update:

have the 35r on with the aquamist HFS-5 kit tuned at 28psi. i have the IC pipes finally squared away (they kept popping off), and want to increase the boost to about 30-32psi. thats it for engine mods for a while.

Need a tune on the VI, have to get some kevlar guards here and there and get it set up for the snow in Atlanta, Michigan for the Sno*Drift rally in a few weeks. After that, a few more go fast bits and it goes to the 100 Acre Wood Rally. Whether I'll keep it through next year is up in the air. I'm considering selling it mid-season as our new car gets finished.

how is that buschur 35r those kits are sick, so whats your goal on meth and that kit?

o and for the parts i got some great deals on most of them and it averages out to about 5.4k of course getting rid of some of my parts too subtracts from the cost as well

Austin is going pretty good, can't wait until I come back for winter break though. I didn't get to drive the evo during thanksgiving so it's going to make it that much better when it's up and running. I have a lot of maintenance stuff to do when I go back and I also need a tune. I'm also looking to buy a green and a clutch.
