My Winter Project....

[EclipseGST]

Wasn't this your gf's car?

-A. Swift

No.

Why would he be doing this to his girlfriends car?

[FattyBoomBatty]

To me, there's no reason to say "Poor evo". There's so many Evo's sold in the US, it's not like an old muscle car which really would be horrible.

That's funny you said that, because that happens all the time. My good friend's dad has a '70 chevelle SS 454 convertable, which he made into a race car. it's done 9's and weighs 4000 lbs. So, using expensive cars for drag cars has always been going on. The other thing about this project - the concern for aero - who cares? It's a drag evo. It's cool for being what it is.

People are whining that this guy here up in moorhead is wrecking a supra by doign the same thing, basically. except he just back-halved the car.

Exactly. He's still using the Evo sheetmetal, and the engine.

The people wrecking those rare cars into drag cars are the ones who should get yelled at.

Ha, that's how Brent Rau started, turned his wife's car into a race car.

Nice. Now I know of two things women are good for.

I see you have some prominant members in the DSM/Evo communities posting in your thread. Congraduations, you are now on their radar and they will be watching. As for their statements about it not being an Evo - I think it was funny that AMS stated that they were doing the same thing to an Evo I/II, yet they still called it an Evo. Also, on Buschur's website they have a Pro-Class 98 Talon - still called a Talon. Tell them to correct themselves, then they can make such a statement. Screw all the flack. Build it, race it, and make people jealous.

Buschur was very nice actually. He did go through the same exact shit that I am / will be going through. AMS is clearly jealous / worried because it is obvious that thier car will not compete :) Buschur already knows what this car will undoubtedly run when its complete and it obviously doesnt bother him. He sold his Pro RWD that back in the days with 660s and a VPC ran a low 8 or a 7 (Cant remember exactly).

Oh and yes, this is my girlfriends car :) I just kinda use it I guess you could say!

I have known Buschur and AMS for a while... Buschur has always been pretty nice to me and AMS has always hated me since my intake manifold design. They tried to belittle me and throw long words at me to make it seem like thier intake manifold was so great... then I showed them what CFD and engineering could provide and they pretty much shut up. Some other interesting crap about AMS is thier time attack car which has been gutted 75% as far as mine (They even cut their roof out). That one is still an Evo though... lol. Or the fact that they pretend that they have pretty much built thier Evo 1/2 (However it becomes a 1/2? They have been trying to sell the car before it was finished for probably 8 months so far and supposedly they did sell it but cant get ahold of the buyer. They said they just havent gotten a chance to work on it for awhile.... doesnt make much sense why they would say that since they sold it :)

HAHA!

Didnt know you bought it for her... :p

[Swifty1638]

That's what I was confused about. Atleast she's supportive of it all! Those are the girls to keep around!

[EvilEvo]

:) I bought if for both of us. The car is in her name, I just pay for it. We both enjoy it so whoevers car that ends up being I suppose.
