That's why I bought them...my 3rd set and I got sick of upgrading with every round of mods. Shane says that the X is missing some tables that makes them easy to dial in on the 8/9's.
I'll be giving him another stab at them soon. Dave says that Primo is done with our intakes (well, his at least).

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Did anyone look at that vid of my car idling on the previous page? Is that ticking the injectors?
Yep, intake is done, not sure on yours, they probably tried to do mine first since i bug them a lot, lol. I am a persistent SOB when i want something, i go for it!

Nice cleanness! I went through my garage last weekend and got it all cleaned up and reorganized too.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Thank you Kracka
I borderline wanted to mop the garage too, or hose it out to get it really clean...then i remembered, it's a garage
Threw away a lot of stuff...
Have to find ways to occupy my time with no Evo, it's getting harder to do, watching the twins and having rum and cokes helps

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Good deal! I need to get mine organized too, it just feels like I hardly put wrenches away before I take them back out lately. I'm doing my 5th brake job this month tonight with spaz. I'll prolly let him do most of the work though

I hear that, you are a busy guy when it comes to wrenching. I need to buy a workbench or build one and get some shelves etc in there so I don't need to have all my tools and stuff inside, that is to come after the car is done. For now I just needed space to fit a car.
I have been putting this off for a while now, it felt good to finally finish it and it is highly satisfying to look at the cleanliness.

Maybe Tom can lend a hand when it comes time.... I hear he builds nice sturdy work benches!
Nice work cleaning the garage btw... feels good when its finally clean again, I need to clean mine again.
