I vote keep it in the box until you need it Yours and Scheides' stock ones seem to work fine. |

The engagement is so damn high on this thing though. I am not going to mess with it until after the cruise though. I should be good to go.
I am guessing it got jarred loose from the street logging Shane and I were doing. Logs looked great, no knock at all really. Shane just said keep the DD tune on unless you really mean it, lol. He said on the cruise stay with normal tune unless T and C is happening since its too much power for turning. |

Is that a typo or is he suggesting that fuel starvation is a concern without a surge tank? I'm not going to tell you that it surprises me. |

No, I think he was just saying that the car is making too much power for a noob like me in the turns, lol. I would agree with him. He made it sound like only run the high boost in a straight line. But maybe he did just mean he was worried about fuel starvation. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Same thing happened after we removed the pill on rosey's slave cyl and bled the brakes/clutch. All was good but if he'd keep pressure on the clutch (pulled out of my garage and sat there for a min talking to me) it would just bleed pressure out the back side of the banjo bolt. An extra 1/8 turn and topped up the fluid solved that

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I got uber scared I had another bad master, but all seems well now. Hopefully someone has a 10mm or 11mm (can't remember) just in case on the cruise, lol. I'll bring my DOT4 too...can't be too careful.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I will have a full assortment of hand tools as well as an electric impact in my trunk "just in case". I'm sure others will have various tools as well.

Dude, I don't leave home without the tool box and a 5gal can of E85. If someone has a jack & a set of jack stands then we have anything minor covered. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I have my tools as well. Not as vast of a collection as Kevin, but it's generally enough for most jobs that don't require specialty stuff.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Well good to hear. See you guys in the morning.
EDIT:
I also just switched over to AMS oil 10w-40 full synthetic, a special kind that FP recommends.
