This is getting good. Maybe on the bathroom counter? That's always a good spot in hotel rooms.

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

nah not on this cruise..this one its the floor, and emily, and a bucket.

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

This.

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

so....


...back to cars no?

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

Umm, yeah. Adjust that clutch pedal yet?

I do love the 'Tags' on this thread. lol.

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

I know right, lol.
You know, literally 5 minutes before you said anything I saw those tags...damn admins! haha.

However, I did stop at DB after work today...been a while since i had been up there, i was getting homesick haha.

I gathered up all the left over parts i had up there and brought them up, including two SSP MC's...and yes the magnus MC (lomker I will get this to you soon).

Danny was nice enough to adjust my clutch pedal and it is way better now...I don't have to have my foot in the air to engage so I should be able to launch assuming i know how, lol. Still not used to the lower engagement though, but I'll get there.

Also bought some oil up there as my car is a little low on oil, maybe burned some on the cruise and the hours of WOT, lol, not sure.

But I think I am good to go for this weekend...time to have fun!

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

Awesome to hear, i want to see thing in action frum roll and dig and I'd like a ride.

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

Saturday, text me, I'll give ya a ride :)

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

Jesus, talk about a hotdog down a hallway.

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

I am not sure if i should be offended by this...i am lost, lol.

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

I wasn't familiar with that one either but Google does work.

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

Ok...soooo back to talking about cars then..

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

Today is the first time I've driven my car without a toolbox in it for a long time. I'm scared. lol.

So fukin cold this morning I wonder if I should get the snow tires on this weekend.

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

Are you driving yours in the snow?

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

I figure if the beater breaks down then I'll drive it. I'll also probably get some work done on it over the Winter (pull the turbo, etc).

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

Ah, cool, good thinking :)

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

Short vid I made...2-3 pull, stuck, cars got in the way and my buddy who i was giving a ride to sucked at filming, lol.

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

Uber fail since you are right next to a good highway with a long ass entrance ramp.

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

We were going to the liquor store though ;)

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

Adjusted the 2 step when Scheides, Trev and myself all stopped at RS...Thank you Scheides.

Tomorrow is the track, time to see what it does.

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

It moves pretty damn good, really smooth.

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

Thanks for the ride; do us proud! Just have fun and don't get discouraged. Post times as you can!

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

I just did the street tune too, don't like doing the race tune with 3 people in there for some reason, lol.

I'll try...if I crack the 11's I will be happy, thats all I am aiming for. And I just want to know my traps too. Should be fun :)

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

For real though, starting to get a little gay, this is supposed to be a car build thread....take the shit to OT.

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

You're forgetting the "The Life of Dave blog" portion of it :)

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

You sure didn't seem to mind when the inquisition about ylime occurred. :)

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

It is getting real good. But to much talk about T2T with out HSA

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

Thread semi cleaned. Hotdog's posts remind me of everything I hate about evoXforums and as much as I love teasing murlo I don't want this site to slip into the newb/facetube/omg entity that others have created. Just keep this thread semi-on-topic; extra-way-too-long rants and tirades about flaming faux-homosexuality can go elsewhere pretty please with pink sprinkles on top :)

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

Evo goes away for the winter this weekend...taking insurance off, putting it on jackstands and the honda returns...was a good month of fun while it lasted.

Edit: I must put this thread back on track.

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

What? Winters are when Evo's shine!! plus, it's not even snowing yet!

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

True that if you have something other than summer rims/tires, which i don't anymore.

This is why I have a beater now.

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

That single layer of paint evos have doesnt seem to resist the salty roads for too long, sadly.

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

I assume you won't be telling your bank about that one. I thought about upping my deductibles but it's not worth the risk since even my parking ramp isn't totally safe.

With the amount of paint my car has lost in 14k miles, I expect it to need a repaint sooner than later. It's amazing.

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

It doesn't fully remove it...its what I did while at DB. It is still covered if something happens, you just can't drive it.

I think i still pay like 50 bucks a month for the coverage that way...something like that. A lot less though.

And yes, the paint is bad on these...my car is starting to look rough, I don't need more salt and rock chips owning the exterior than is needed.

Honestly, i think it will just make driving the evo that much more awesome when I take it out again in spring.

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

Whoah that's a good idea, I will save a few bucko's doing that on mine!

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

Yep...I still get my mutli car discount this way too, so its all good :)

However it seems to confuse statefarm, at least my agent, so it usually takes a billing cycle to figure it out, lol.

But I will save a lot on GAS, insurance and maintenance. I would say over the winter, probably looking at 600 or so in savings...works for me.

Edit: I don't think you have to worry about this scheides, but if you tow it anywhere, just let them know that day so you are covered...otherwise should be good to go.

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

Just called, Went from $129/month to $19/month. Technically I could remove coverage entirely (no lien on it) but for $19 I'll keep some coverage in case the roof falls in on the garage or I give up and light the thing on fire (har har).

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

You are welcome for the suggestion :) More money for the motor now!

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

So true! Sorry for clogging your thread but that is a fantastic idea and I'm getting screwed on timeline...sigh.
