Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

[Murlo26]

I don't frequent this site much, but i am exhausted at work and can't focus so i figured i would start a build thread here.

Here it is when i first got it, outside hasn't changed really, shorty antenna is about it:

This is where the car currently is for power until next week.

My fuel assembly after 6 months on E85 using DIY install kit, worked alright, wouldn't recommend.

Yessir.

[LingLing]

That's awesome. I wanna see this thing in person!

[Murlo26]

After my new clutch gets in perhaps, lol.

A sidenote for people not familiar with my build at all, still on stock clutch...and will be for a while on the FPred too, lol.

/pray it holds until funds come. I think i might sell stock parts to pay for it, but would rather not, who knows.

[Matt D.]

Welcome, dude! More Evo Xs here isn't a bad thing.

[t-revzr]
