Hopefully mondale on here can come and run with you 5 spd dudes, almost every platform is going to autos for racing now, word is there should be a pretty quick suby in the mix this year too.

I hope you guys can find the recipe for reliability, 5 spd cars rock.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

More cars the better! It sucks when there are 2-3 cars in a class.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

This car is sick.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Same here twin fire with the coil on plug stuff. But, once the twin fire fails ill goto an m&w box and be done with it. Also waiting on my fuel pump to get back after burning out again. Ill be switching to a wedlen pump probably too.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

I've got a used M&W for sale ;)

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

What pump are you running? I've actually had good luck with my Fuelab, I think its the 1500HP version.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Just by simple drag racing math with a 1.5 60' the car will be close to a 8, we will see. The evo looks good.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Thanks!

So are you going to go with some 5 lug hubs and a set of slicks this year? I could see it running high 8's and to recapture the galant record.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

You guys should both run these!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

My car will use the BFG comp t/a for the street and have a set of QTP's for track use, if rims are in the budget 5 lugs will be on the car. And I recommend the aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump, in my car its able to produce over 100psi of fuel pressure at battery voltage. And no voltage regulator needed if you are not going on road trips.

That exhaust is super sexy.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

What's left? Just the catch can you were talking about building? Lets hear an idle vid with that aluminum exhaust! Looks awesome man, you sure make some fast progress on these projects

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Looks like hes charging the battery. Hes gotta be getting close.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Nice work as always! Good eye on the battery charger nick ;)

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

This thread makes me wish I knew how to weld!

Great work as always!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

And the car is done...fabrication is complete! Time to start this bitch.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

I'm drooling over here.

Nice work.

If you get bored and want to cruise up to blaine, let me know! :lol:

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Will do, I need to get the full story on converting my 1G to an AUTO...Thats the next project!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

If you're in Blaine, I'd love to see too!!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

If you go that route the AEM can control a auto.

Good luck with brake in and tunning. It will be a fun ride.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

OMG! low 8s babay!!!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Yes 8's is the goal, it makes more than enough power!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Thanks John!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

WOOT! Good work can't wait to see it.

First startup! I need to fix my fan situation with a relay and a different ECU output. The fan is on all the time if the key is on since I replaced the OEM fan with a Spal. The OEM fan is controlled with a PWM pin vs. an on/off drive. The exhaust is quieter than my other Evo too!!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Awesome, please also get some video of the dyno tuning!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Looks good Mark! Bring it up to Ely one of the weekends you go up, I'll bring my 6266 powered beast up there too if its running and we can have a little fun "North of the Border" rather than in Mexico ;)

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Top mounts always just seem more awesome.

And I've always wanted to drive down HWY1 to Grand Marais with my car... I've just not been upto Ely since I've owned it.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Damn mark shit came together fast!!

Are you bringing both cars to the track when you go in case something breaks?

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

HWY 1 is a BLAST! I think the Cruise should go up to duluth, then take HWY 1 to Ely and stay in Ely at the Grand Ely Lodge for a night, My sister works there and I "may" be able to get people a deal on rooms. There is some pretty good places to eat up there too!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Spring cruise has been planned for months troy :D

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Thats what Scheides said haha, reading>me

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

So planning on doing a few laps in this bish?

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Yea, that would be fun! The stroker motor sure does help with the spool and pre spool performance too.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
 

Any extra hotel rooms and when is it again? I might actually go this year!
