Wow, just took the old girl for a spin around the block to test the new clutch. Damn! It barely idles, but on the frontage road going about 30 mph on a second gear roll, the boost hit and spun the tires bad around 50 mph. And I've got fairly sticky S03's on here. It felt good last time I drove it, but it feels nasty now. Spring can't get here soon enough.

S-03's aren't sticky in these temps ;) The cold is nice, even the Laser feels faster!

I let the authorities know in Golden Valley that you are driving with a highly modified and highly illegal car. Gave them description of the car, your name, age, location ect.

Expect to be pulled over and recieve a fix-it ticket.


lol j/k that would be so dick head, grats sounds nasty.

I ain't driving it in the winter, it has no heat, that crap adds too much weight. I just pulled it out of the shop to get something else on the lift. Plus I'm bringing it home for storage in a week or two. I gotta get an appointment to get my xfer case recall done though, Cabe informed me a couple years ago that my car was still due for it and it leaks.

I would love to see the look on a tech's face when he sees what he has to try and pull up onto the lift, and resist the urge to go all "ferris bueller's day off" with.

Boy, I can't wait to feel the Evo in the summer... I've only ever driven it in cool weather so far.

I'm going to see if I can request Tony at Brookdale to do it. We've bought and sold stuff to each other and he's a fellow enthusiast, he'd take good care of my baby. Plus I'll temporarily change the fuel cutoff to 3000 rpm, so there's no hanky-panky. :p

Just curious, how much weight did you cut taking out the heater core and/or AC?

For the blower motor, heater core and evaporator it's ~34lbs in a 3S, I would guess DSM are about the same.
