Evo X upgrades

[Kracka]

When I got home there was a call from GrimmSpeed...they don't have any of the gaskets that are required to do the porting. That's a bit of a wtf? for me. They offer porting services on their website but have customers always bring in their own gaskets?

I called Shane and he's going to drop them off for me on his way home. Thanks Shane!
Good to see a forum sponsor is picking up the slack of a non-sponsor :)

A couple years ago GrimmSpeed wanted to get into porting for Evo 8/9s and I had to provide all the gaskets. Kind of odd that it's still that way, though. Make a damn template already.

The guy that rung me up mentioned that Shane would be installing a Green in is VIII soon. It's not like the employees aren't into Evos. Just seems odd.

Another thing is how weird it is to only know people by their forum names and having no idea what they look like. I walk into Primo the other day and Jesse's like "decided to bring it in?" Took me a couple minutes to figure out who he was. lol.

Wait until people know who you are and you don't know who they are. That's always a blast.

that is the way it is for me I know most people on the board but still people know me by the car and all the parts I sell and have no idea who they are.

any back on topic
the cusco bar looks great. I love all my cusco parts on my car

Every time I come on here to post a legitimate update I've been banned. WTF? haha.

Picked up my turbo and intake manifold from GrimmSpeed tonight. The intake is a thing of beauty--they look so much better coated.

You can't tell in this photo but the BBX's exhaust outlet has taken on this really nice golden hue...similar to what you'd see with stainless that has gone through a few heat cycles.

Primo needed another day to finish my valve cover. Not a big deal in itself but my work schedule is murder so finding time to make another trip out there is going to suck. Boo-hoo!

Nice looking parts!

I picked up my valve cover at Primo and ran most of the parts out to DB over lunch. Shane was working on the piston rings at the front counter when I came in.

Here's another pic of the motor, sans pistons & rods this time.
