What's up everyone, I'm joe, i'm not new to the area, but I'm new the to the forums, just wanna stop by and say what's up to all the fellow Evo guys. I work at Automax as Vw tech, I think I met a couple of you guys at that honda meet at long branch a while a go. Just curious, has anyone been up to little river and ran? I ran friday night, bone stock, best of 13.33 @ 103mph.
Welcome to the local thread. Glad one of you automax evo guys finally decided to post.

13.3@103 is exceptional for a stock Evo X. My car traps 109 with mods (full weight SSS), but I don't power shift so I am not the best person to compare too.

Well guys my EVO is down again, SOB 
Its seem that I might of ruined my throw out bearing,I was hitting it kind of hard for the last couple of days. When I pushed the clutch in the pedal fell straight to the floor. All the cables seem ok but Im not sure, the tranny area is not my specialty. I dont rememer who it was that had the tranny jack but I might need to borrow it..........

OK fellahs. I just got back from College Station and it was nice to chill out with family and friends before I leave. I only have a week to go and it's off to the desert for Round Three. Ding...Ding... I picked up 12 NGK spark plugs this morning brand new for $18. Don't worry Bryan and Lausan they are the ones for the EVO. 
I also grabbed a 3" Buschur Racing bullet muffler to liven things up a bit. If anyone needs a quieter muffler, I have a 3" APS muffler now available. An interesting thing today when I made it to B/CS. My little brother called me and asked me if I brought the "Mamba". I told him no as I was relaxing in Big Blue (Endeavor) today. I knew something was up and I so after a short conversation he spilled the beans about him setting up this "engagement" with a Dodge Challenger that's apparently putting down ~ 515whp. This is all coming from the driver's mouth third person. OK. So I'm driving around B/CS, and I see this Challenger. The first thing I see are these chromed out wheels and the closer I get, I don't hear one of those flow master exhausts that are customary. I wanted to stop and to the 'ole "drool" about how fast the car looks routine to see what it's all about. Long story short is that there will be another V8 to fall victim to the venom of the Mamba after block leave. Stay tuned...
Lausan, I have a couple of phone calls to make in the morning and I will fill you in on the "secret sauce" mix afterward.
I've checked back in just like a good Soldier. 
Welcome to the family. I saw that time of yours and that's pretty dang good for a stock X. I'm a terrible driver that loves to practice power shifting on 87-octane with loose spark plugs up I-35, so my best thus far has been a 13.4 and I can't remember the trap speed. Oh well, I know I need more seat time after I get back home from the desert.
Hopefully, it's exactly what Bryan suggested. I don't know anyone around here that specializes in EVO clutches as the NTEC mad scientist did my install. I hope it's not anything else because I was just thinking about upgrading to a certain twin-disc clutch but I might have to reconsider after your issue is resolved. If you need to take your car to Arlington to have Kevin look at it, you can rent a flat bed and use my truck (Big Blue) to do so. Just let me know the day before if you need to borrow it. 
Friends of the good and positive kind are always rare to come across. It's one thing to share a common bond (i.e. - fast EVOs) but it's another when true friendship is experienced.

I too hope that it s a simple fix many people run the Exedy twin and have no problems. Once you get on it (your car) something is going to go wrong. My thing is I DD my car and drive it till I master my car and and the best at driving it. I have been a V8 guy growing up, the EVO is a car I always wanted. Cars will break parts will break, that gives me a reason for more upgrades......You couldnt be more right, its been a very long time since I have had friends like the ones Ive made these last couple of months. Ive never met a group of guys that will go out of their way to help each other, not even knowing each other that much.
