Nice.

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

Should be it from my understanding, not sure where the engine is for status, hopefully getting close :)

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

I share your excitement. ;)

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

Well couple slight hang ups. Cosworth Rod bearings had to be sourced, no vendors had them in stock, so I had them 2-day aired in since I am guessing these are holding the build up at this point.

Talked with FP...the upgrade was $1099 with the porting I got and a slight hiccup, they decided they wanted to do an oil line upgrade kit with the Black so they are developing it right now and said it would be ready for shipment tomorrow at the latest it sounded like. So nothing too terrible, just more money needed to be spent, something like $150 at worst for the oil lines.

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

So is this the first Black for a X?

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

Yes :)

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

I hope you put Mega insurance on this thing for how much you got into her!

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

Just full coverage...if something happens it happens. I will steal the motor out of it if it gets wrecked, but I don't want to pay a super high premium and after looking at what Lomkers figures were it has to be a special insurance to get what you want, pass.

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

I haven't done it yet. I have +$5k coverage with Progressive. American Family quoted me +$20k for another $75/mo.

I ain't worried about wrecking, I'm worried about the whole car being stolen. You're right...not the end of the world if you have the car to pull parts off of.

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

I doubt mine would get stolen, it will spend most of its time in garage, but hey it could happen i suppose. I will look into some of it, but doubtful i do anything. it isn't too flashy though.

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

Same deal for me. I don't think car theft is that common around here relative to other cities. Those are the questions that I'm weighing. If I lost this car then I couldn't afford to mod another one, that's all.

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

x2...regardless, *knocks on wood, lets not talk about it. Last time i talked about something bad happening to my car with you, 5 secs later, POP, engine blew as we were talking about it. :)

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

We better talk about beer, then. :beer:

I assume you saw this?

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

Grrr...nope...but I guess this random noob I talked to in a PM was telling the truth...figures.

Well whatever...completely different setups at least.

The funny thing is, they are redesigning the oil feed for the turbo, so these guys for sure didn't get that. So haha to them I guess.

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

So you don't have the first X Black!

Meybe the first E85 X Black when the time comes? ;)

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

Yea, should still be the first X on E85 with the black...

It couldn't be worse people they gave it to, the guys from Espec are such jerkoffs. They show the worst overinflated numbers ever and act like no one can tune as well as Urkel and that everyone elses car is slower...great.

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

Overinflated? Maybe that's why they chose them! lol
But seriously, a guy would think they would want their newest turbo tested by a more reputable shop like AWD Motorsports, Cobb, or AMS...

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

Exactly, I wouldn't care at all about those shops, they are great shops. The place they gave it to is such a hack job shop and seriously biggest darshes ever. I will never hear the end of this in PM's. Your tuner can't tune...we make more power on pump than you do on E85...blah blah blah. sigh.

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

Yeah, they claim to get 490whp on an FP Red on pump gas. 30psi on pump? Motor-blowing tunes to be sure.
