Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

For what I'm blowing on this ride, I sure hope it scares me a little. :D

[scheides]

omg dude, I'm sorry, that sucks. Hopefully it can be fixed easily with a bit of drilling and tapping.

mlomker,

Oh noes! Bummer! So does this mean we may need to sacrifice some virgins to get rid of the curse?

I think it is time to go buy a lottery ticket cause your luck has no where to go but up.

The streak continues...simply stunning that Mitsu could choose to give you this one.

It will all be worth it I am sure!

[Murlo26]

lol. 500 is fast. A lot faster than you think.

It is fast, but maybe it's the fact that I drive my car daily and am used to it, or maybe i am misremembering, but i swear my evo 8 felt quicker, obviously not faster, but quicker.

It has to be the peaky powerband of the X and big ass curb weight, but I still don't feel impressed with my car. It feels awesome no doubt, but i want my car to feel fast when i drive it hard.

The strip this weekend should put things into perspective more, but i am yet to feel truly amazed.

I am done for a while though, need to concentrate on house things and sick of spending money on the car, time to enjoy it.

time to enjoy it.
Great mentality!

Last time we'd talked you'd never launched the car...have you done any practice? I'm wondering what that'll be like with a six puck.

Great mentality!

I don't think anyone wants their car to be down now that it's warm out.

I'm down to gauges and cosmetic stuff once I have the car back.

Maybe I missed it above, but do you know when you'll have it back?

I have been practicing some aggressive driving, still haven't done full out launch from stop, i am scared, lol.

I have been doing some higher rev drops from a stop but it still bogs. Shane raised my 2 step to 6k so I will get a few in before Saturday to see how it works, just need to find somewhere to do it. The six puck seems to like hard shifting better than soft. It seems the harder i slam it and abuse it the smoother it works (sometimes).

I still get some fuel dumping in between shifts, seems like when it's cold, but when it shifts right it is awesome.

No idea...Shane said he was bringing the cam cap to MAP but I don't know how long they'll need to have it. Once that's back then it depends on Shane's schedule again...and then we're on to whatever the next problem is. :Flush:
