Evo X upgrades

Who has one of those? :hide:

I might be better off driving a POS. That way I can pretend it's the car that sucks. haha.
It's up to you, I'll be at the novice school helping out anyway so the offer stands. The car has trophies to prove its capability to go around corners and was the fastest car at the school 2 years ago. :)

...was the fastest car at the school 2 years ago. :)
Damn you!

I suspect any car would be fast with Matt driving it. :D

Yeah Matt's a good driver. I was 2nd at that novice school and I think he had about a second on me (maybe more?). He did have ~10 events (maybe less, I don't remember exactly) under his belt at that point, but my guess is he could have come in fresh and still beat me.

I've never been good at any sport. Even if I was, I'm not much into competing with anybody. I quit jui jitsu when it became 'not fun' because you had to beat the next guy in line to get promoted. I'm just not into that.

That's why half the money into my car is just for looks. I've learned a lot about a subject that I didn't know anything about going into it. Who knows what I'll do once this car is done...move on to another hobby, I'd imagine.

Fair enough, competition just doesn't appeal to some people. Regardless, there's no reason to not learn to be a better driver.

You need this now too:

Only $1300 ;)

Those end-tanks are pure sex. Similar to Perrin and AMS, but a bit more like Nisei tanks which resemble what I've seen on F1 intercoolers. I like how the outlet gently transitions similar to a HKS.

Auto-x for a novice should be about improving your times from run to run. The fun part of it is not always who got the fastest time but figuring out how to cut time in each element. I learned alot last year on stock everything, Matt and everyone else in the club is awesome at encouraging drivers to get faster. All I can say is ask alot of questions! Have fun, and oh yes you will be addicted. mlomker, id take matt up on the offer, you learn alot about high hp and small spaces at the midway. ;) Id offer up my car but I wont be intown that day.

I have a Perrin fmic already. Same deal with the CBRD manifold...he didn't announce it until after I'd already bought the Full Race.

That's why I signed up.

I was just wondering how you were doing. I know you have a busy time ahead but I'm still hoping we can do that brake job some time this Summer. It might be the Cookout before the car is totally done but at least the end is in sight.

The guy who gave me the great quote on the head didn't reply to my email yesterday so that's a bummer. I shot out quote requests to MAP and Boombop shop. I had bought the cams from Boombop.

I think Shane had found a good quote as well...need to get the details on that.
