No one wants a $60k evo with high monthly payments, get out now and buy a 9.

If this thing isn't on the spring cruise I'll be breaking into your house to steal all your liquor!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
It'll be there as long as it doesn't actually break from usage, which with my luck is no guarantee.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Just finished the last "install" piece just now...the undertray! I confirmed no leaks after the 6 times or so I drove it, so buttoned it up. Next will be a full detail, but might have to settle for just a rinse this year with how cold it is.
My idle/cruise trims are almost done being dialed in, hopefully do some boost here soon.

Cool!
Still thinking about cruising down to the lunch spot with us this weekend?

Depends on if I can get my hog tuned by then. I am still considering it, haven't decided though. I am sure this will be a game time decision. I haven't wondered too far from home yet either just because I am nervous that the car isn't "perfect" yet but will have to try sometime.
I also had illusions about maybe rockfalls this weekend, but the cruise is more likely that that as my clutch is still iffy at best right now. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Driveability is mostly dialed in now, its been a bit rough as its so cold out though, but fuel trims are in line and once the car warms up its great to drive. Probably work on this more in the spring.
Might have some fuel pump/pick up issues still somehow...no idea how, brand new everything there. I think something might be tangled up in the tank, like the siphon line not on or something.
But we added a ton of fuel to WOT as it was angry last night and this morning the car pulls clean now so back to boosting, yay.
I can't do cruise or RF tomorrow though, finishing deck which needs to be done before snow flies.

I cannot, the carpenter helping me is coming saturday. Sorry dudes. I will make the spring one now though, no excuses really.
House mods have taken priority over getting the evo running the last few months. They are almost as satisfying. |

So what you're trying to say is you now wear socks with your sandals, cargo shorts, and hang around hardware stores talking about your project?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
You going to be short shifting ftw. Lol. Glad to see you got the jack stand queen out on the road. Hope you keep the car running and enjoy it for a couple months.
