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

Well, I figured I post up a quick snippet here as well, rather than everything in the RF thread.

I accomplished my main mission this weekend, drive evo to track, drive evo down track and drive evo home. No major issues and the car made it home so a win in my book.

Drag racing, not so easy. Not ever having gone I wasn't too disappointed really and the car felt strong until my clutch started locking out on me big time. I only got 2 runs in without clutch issues, 1st run which was fail because I left traction control on and the 2nd run which was ok, but still terrible for an AWD car (2.5 60') but still ran 12.0 on that run.

Then on my 4th run, lost my oil cap and with all the problems shifting (couldn't get into 2nd, 3rd or 4th was a pretty bad run) I decided to call it quits as I found my oil cap wedged in between my downpipe. So I will be switching back to my OEM oil cap as apparently the metal anodized one I have doesn't work well with my valve cover as everything heats up and loosens. I also probably have way too much crank case pressure and am getting the SSP catch can with 10AN lines off the valve cover this winter.

Anyway, my 2nd run ever, best run of the day..



A pic when I got home, kinda liking wingless!



Oh, the few things I took out for some weight savings



Clutch is now feeling pretty bad too. I am guessing its cooked. I will probably be running a twin disc next time. I guess we will see. I can still drive the car now but its very rough on engagement now and I am guessing there are some pretty big heat spots.

Oh, the vid of 1st/2nd runs ever:
